Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Sheva Studios (“we,” “us”) for the mobile app published as Siddur and branded as 24/7, plus our websites, shared Tehillim links, analytics API, and admin dashboard (the “Services”). By downloading, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
1. The Services
24/7 is a Jewish davening and daily-life companion. Features may include a siddur (including Ashkenaz and Sefard packs), Tehillim, calendar and zmanim, notifications, Mizrach compass, library texts (Chumash, Nach, Mishna, Gemara, Rambam, and similar), home widgets/panels, gratitude, tzedakah logging, habits, brachos counting, Omer, and shared Tehillim campaigns. Features may change, be limited by platform, or be marked “coming soon.”
We may provide over-the-air updates (including via Expo). Updates can change content or behavior. Some updates may require a store update.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must be able to form a binding contract. If you are under the age of digital consent in your country, you may use the App only with a parent or guardian’s permission. The App does not currently require an account. If we add accounts later, you must provide accurate information and keep credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity on your device.
3. License
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial religious and educational use, in accordance with these Terms and applicable store rules (Apple App Store, Google Play).
You may not: copy, modify, reverse engineer (except to the limited extent allowed by law), rent, sell, or republish the App; bypass technical limits; scrape our API in a way that degrades the service; or use the Services to build a competing liturgy product using our non-public source, except as allowed by third-party text licenses (see Section 8).
4. Not pesak — religious and calendar disclaimer
The Services are a convenience tool, not a rabbi, posek, dayyan, or clergy. Texts, translations, nusach variants, seasonal insertions, zmanim, candle-lighting times, fast-day listings, Omer counts, Mizrach bearing, and reminders can be incomplete, delayed, or wrong for your community, location, or situation.
- Zmanim depend on the location stored on your device, device clock, time zone, and calculation methods. If GPS is off, denied, stale, or inaccurate, times will be wrong.
- Nusach (Ashkenaz / Sefard and other options) may not match your minhag. Some passages may fall back to another nusach or an offline pack when a source is unavailable.
- Amidah insertions (for example Ya’aleh v’Yavo, Al HaNissim, Mashiv haRuach / Tal uMatar, Aneinu, Nachem, Avinu Malkeinu) are generated by software rules and can err around seasonal or community-specific practices (including Israel vs. diaspora rain dates).
- Shared Tehillim is a coordination tool, not a communal obligation we supervise.
For halacha, times of tefillah, medical questions, mourning, or any decision with religious or personal consequences, consult a competent rav or professional. We are not liable for missed zmanim, incorrect text, or reliance on the App.
5. Location, sensors, and notifications
If you grant permission, the App may use precise location and compass/motion sensors as described in the Privacy Policy. You can revoke permissions in system settings. Notifications, including a Shabbos clock / alarm sound if you enable it, are scheduled according to your settings. You are responsible for keeping sound, Focus/DND, and Shabbos practices consistent with your minhag. We do not warrant that any reminder will fire.
6. Your content
“User Content” includes anything you enter: custom reminder text, gratitude notes, tzedakah entries, Refuah names, Hebrew birthday, campaign titles/reasons, and similar.
- You retain ownership of your User Content.
- You grant us a limited license to host and process User Content that you send to our servers (currently: shared Tehillim campaign fields and analytics events) solely to operate the Services.
- On-device User Content stays on the device unless you copy it elsewhere or include it in a share link.
- You represent that you have the right to enter names and notes you store (including names of others for Refuah) and that your content is not unlawful, defamatory, or someone else’s confidential information.
We may remove shared campaign content that is abusive, illegal, or that puts others at risk.
7. Shared Tehillim and acceptable use
When you create or join a campaign:
- The share link is security. Anyone with the link can view progress. Treat it like an unlisted page.
- Do not post private medical details, full legal names of minors, or fundraising payment data in titles or reasons.
- Do not use campaigns to harass, spam, or impersonate others.
- We may rate-limit, suspend, or delete campaigns to protect the service.
You will not misuse the Services: no malware, no probing the API beyond normal App use, no interfering with other users, and no using the Services for anything illegal.
8. Intellectual property and third-party texts
The App’s design, software, selection, and arrangement are owned by Sheva Studios or its licensors. “24/7,” product branding, and related marks are ours. You get no rights except the license in Section 3.
Jewish texts displayed in the App may be provided by Sefaria (sefaria.org) and other sources, often under Creative Commons licenses such as CC-BY-SA. Those licenses stay with the texts. Attribution is required as those licenses specify. Offline packs and any local edits we make for display (instruction stripping, seasonal cuts) do not claim ownership of the underlying public or CC-licensed text. If a rightsholder believes material is used incorrectly, email shevastudios@gmail.com and we will review promptly.
Third-party trademarks (Apple, Google, Sefaria, etc.) belong to their owners.
9. Third-party services
The Services may call Sefaria, Expo/EAS updates, Apple or Google push/OS services, device geocoding, and our Railway-hosted API. Those services have their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party outages, text errors, or privacy practices, except as our Privacy Policy says we are.
Deep links such as siddur://tehillim/… or https share links exist to open the App. We do not control every device’s handling of those links.
10. Support and “as is” disclaimer
Support is available at shevastudios@gmail.com. The Services are provided AS IS and AS AVAILABLE, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, accuracy of zmanim or liturgy, uninterrupted access, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App is free of bugs or that cached/offline text is complete.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers. In those places, warranties last only as long as required by law.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sheva Studios, Avi Taub, and our contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; lost prayers, missed times, lost data, lost profits, or personal injury or spiritual harm arising from use of the Services; even if advised of the possibility.
Our total liability for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the claim (currently $0 if the App is free) or (b) twenty-five U.S. dollars (US $25).
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (for example, certain cases of gross negligence or statutory consumer rights).
12. Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify Sheva Studios and its people from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your User Content, your misuse of the Services, or your violation of these Terms or of law, except to the extent caused by our willful misconduct.
13. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and why. You consent to that collection and processing as a condition of using the Services.
14. App Store terms (Apple and Google)
If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Sheva Studios only, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support. To the extent any warranty is not effectively disclaimed, Apple’s warranty obligation is limited to refunding the App price (if any) and, to the maximum extent permitted, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for claims relating to the App (product liability, legal/regulatory, consumer protection, or intellectual-property claims). You represent you are not in a U.S.-embargoed country and not on a U.S. prohibited-party list. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this section and may enforce it. The same idea applies to Google Play and Google LLC for Play installs, to the extent Google’s terms require it.
15. Export and acceptable territory
You must follow U.S. and other export and sanctions laws. You may not use the Services if you are prohibited from receiving U.S. software.
16. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time and uninstall it. We may suspend or stop the Services, or your access to shared campaigns or the API, if you breach these Terms, if we must do so for security or legal reasons, or if we discontinue the product. Sections that should survive (including 4, 8, 10–13, 17–19) survive termination.
17. Changes to the Terms
We may update these Terms by posting a new version at this URL and changing the “Last updated” date. If a change is material, we will also try to notice it in the App or on this site. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Services.
18. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York and the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that mandatory consumer-protection laws of your place of residence still apply if they cannot be waived. Courts located in New York, New York will have exclusive jurisdiction, except that we may seek injunctive relief in any forum, and you may bring qualifying consumer claims in your local courts where the law requires.
Please contact us first at shevastudios@gmail.com so we can try to resolve a dispute informally within 30 days.
19. Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement for the Services.
- Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
- No waiver. Failure to enforce a term is not a waiver.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, sale, or reorganization.
- No third-party beneficiaries except Apple/Google as stated in Section 14.
- Headings are for convenience only.
- Language. The controlling language is English.
