Legal
Terms of Use
These terms govern your use of the Shalom Table app and this website. Please read section 3 in particular — it explains the limits of what the app is for.
1. Acceptance
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Omnia Data Analytics LLC, a limited liability company in Phoenix, Arizona, United States (“we”, “us”, “our”), covering the Shalom Table iPhone application (the “App”) and the website at shalomtable.app (the “Site”).
By downloading, installing, or using the App, or by using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App or the Site.
The App does not require an account. Nothing in these Terms creates one.
2. Licence to use the app
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms of Service.
You may not: copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App; reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble it except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation; rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, or redistribute it; remove or alter any proprietary notice; or bulk-extract, scrape, or redistribute the App’s content or the data returned by our service.
3. Religious guidance disclaimer
Shalom Table is an informational and organizational tool. It is not a rabbinic authority and does not give halachic rulings.
The App presents timing customs, practices, and explanatory material as options and descriptions, not as determinations of what is religiously required or correct. Communities and authorities differ, legitimately, on many of these matters.
For any question of Jewish law or practice, consult your rabbi or your community. Do not rely on the App as a substitute for that guidance.
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, certified by, or acting under the supervision of any synagogue, rabbinic authority, movement, or communal organization. No text, time, or explanation in the App should be understood as carrying rabbinic certification unless the App itself explicitly identifies a named reviewer.
4. Accuracy of times
Candle-lighting, sunset, nightfall, Havdalah, and fast times are calculations. They depend on the coordinates in use, the time zone, the calculation method, and the custom you have selected, and they may legitimately differ from the times published by your synagogue or community.
The App is designed to show, alongside every time, the location and the method used to produce it. Where a calculation cannot be performed reliably — most obviously at high latitudes where the sun does not set or where nightfall does not occur — the App is designed to display no time at all and to say why, rather than to estimate. Times you enter manually are labelled as manually entered and are your responsibility.
You are responsible for the times you act on. Where accuracy matters to you, verify against your community’s published schedule. We do not warrant that any time shown is correct for your practice or your locality, and we are not liable for observance decisions made in reliance on the App.
5. Content sources and review status
Hebrew liturgical text in the App is drawn from public-domain sources. English scripture is the 1917 Jewish Publication Society translation, which is in the public domain. Calendar and zmanim data are derived from the Hebcal API and are used under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence.
Each item of content in the App records its source, its licence, and whether it has been reviewed by a human advisor. Content that has not yet been reviewed is displayed with a visible banner indicating its pending status. That banner is a statement of fact about our editorial process; you should weigh it accordingly.
No Hebrew text, transliteration, or halachic instruction in the App is generated by an artificial-intelligence model.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the App or Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.
- Interfere with, disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to our service or any network or system connected to it.
- Use automated means to access, scrape, or harvest content or data from the App, our service, or the Site, other than a search engine crawler obeying our robots.txt.
- Submit false, abusive, or deliberately misleading content correction reports.
- Misrepresent the App as carrying an endorsement, certification, or approval it does not have.
7. Content you enter or submit
Notes, checklist items, family customs, and similar material you create in the App are stored on your device and remain yours. We do not receive them, and we claim no rights in them.
If you voluntarily submit a content correction report, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, and act upon that report in order to review and correct the App’s content, and you confirm that you are entitled to share what you have submitted. Please do not include personal or sensitive information in a report. We are not obliged to act on any report, and we may decline or defer a correction.
8. Intellectual property
The App and the Site, including their software, design, layout, original text, illustrations, icon, and the name and mark Shalom Table, are owned by Omnia Data Analytics LLC and are protected by copyright, trade mark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of those rights to you.
Public-domain and third-party licensed material within the App remains subject to its own terms, which are recorded with the content and summarised in section 5.
9. Price and availability
Shalom Table is provided free of charge. It contains no in-app purchases, no subscription, and no advertising. Should that ever change, we would announce it clearly and would not apply a charge retroactively to a version you already have.
The App is currently in development and is not yet available on the App Store. Nothing on the Site is an offer to supply the App today. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App, our service, or any feature at any time, and we may decline to release the App at all.
10. Third-party services
The App relies on the Hebcal API for calendar and zmanim data, on Microsoft Azure for hosting, and on the Apple App Store for distribution. The Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and loads typefaces from Google Fonts. These services are operated by third parties under their own terms, and we are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, or conduct. Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience and are not endorsements.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App, our service, and the Site are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any particular time, that any time or text it displays is accurate or suited to your practice, or that defects will be corrected.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-excludable statutory rights you have as a consumer.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither Omnia Data Analytics LLC nor its members, officers, employees, or contractors will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the App, our service, or the Site — including any observance decision made in reliance on a time or text displayed — whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms, the App, or the Site will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us for the App, which is zero, or (b) US$50.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
13. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Omnia Data Analytics LLC and its members, officers, employees, and contractors from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the App or Site, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
14. Apple-specific terms
The following applies to the extent the App is obtained through the Apple App Store:
- These Terms are between you and Omnia Data Analytics LLC only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
- If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, which is zero. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
- Omnia Data Analytics LLC, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to a legal requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or privacy law.
- Omnia Data Analytics LLC, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.
15. Termination
You may end this agreement at any time by deleting the App from your device. We may suspend or terminate your licence if you materially breach these Terms. Sections 3, 4, 7, 8, and 11 to 16 survive termination.
16. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The exclusive venue for any dispute is the state and federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose law grants you the protection of mandatory local rules or the right to bring proceedings in your local courts, this section does not deprive you of that protection or that right.
17. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms. When we do, we will change the “last updated” date above and, for material changes, give notice on this page and in the App. Continuing to use the App after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the App.
