Terms and Conditions

1. Agreement to These Terms

By accessing or using MeccaDirection.com (“the website,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please stop using the website. These terms apply to your use of the website, including the Qibla Finder and related information.

2. About Our Service

MeccaDirection.com provides an online tool designed to help users calculate the geographic direction of the Kaaba in Makkah from a selected location. Depending on the available features, you may be able to use browser location access, search for a city, enter coordinates manually, or use compatible device compass sensors.

The website is provided as a practical informational utility. Features may change, be temporarily unavailable, or differ by device, browser, location, and technical conditions.

3. Accuracy and Limitations

We aim to provide useful calculations, but we cannot guarantee that every result, bearing, map display, location result, or device heading will be error-free or suitable for every circumstance.

• Calculated Qibla bearings depend on the accuracy of the selected geographic coordinates and the calculation method.
• Live compass readings depend on device hardware, browser support, permissions, calibration, and magnetic interference.
• GPS, city search, internet access, and third-party map services may be unavailable or inaccurate.

A calculated bearing from geographic coordinates is not the same as a phone’s live compass heading. If a reading appears unreliable or you need religious certainty, check your device and follow trusted local religious guidance.

4. Religious Information

MeccaDirection.com is an independent online utility. It is not a religious authority and does not provide a binding religious ruling. The website is intended to assist with geographic direction calculations and does not replace advice from a trusted scholar or local religious authority.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the website lawfully and responsibly. You must not:

• Attempt to disrupt, damage, overload, or interfere with the website or its infrastructure.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, accounts, data, or administrative functions.
• Use automated methods to abuse the service or interfere with other visitors’ use.
• Use the website in a way that violates applicable laws or infringes another person’s rights.
• Misrepresent the website’s calculations or content as an official religious certification or endorsement.

6. Location Permissions and Third-Party Services

If you choose to use your current location, your browser may ask permission to share your coordinates with the page. You can deny or withdraw this permission in your browser settings, although location-based features may then be limited. You may use another available location method where offered.

The website may rely on third-party services for hosting, city search, maps, security, analytics, or other functionality. Those services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Review our Privacy Policy for information about data handling and location-related features.
