Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using the Korus application. By downloading, installing, or using Korus, You agree to be bound by these Terms. If You do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Korus ("the Service", "the App"), operated by Ronsell ("We", "Us"), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms and Conditions. These Terms apply to all users of the Service.
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Description of Service
Korus is a mobile application for Android that enables users to:
- Create, store, and manage personal worship song lyrics.
- Organize songs into themed collections.
- Attach images, PDF documents, and web links to individual songs.
- Access a built-in library of Adventist hymns (Philippine 2016 and International editions).
- Browse, search, favorite, and add hymns to personal collections.
- Sync personal content across devices via a cloud account.
- Mark songs and hymns as favorites for quick access.
- Use the app offline — content is available without an internet connection after initial sync.
- View hymnal sheet music, which is downloaded separately from our cloud storage when requested and cached locally on your device for offline use. It is not bundled with the initial app download.
- Create and join Group Collections — shared collections where members can view a curated song list via a unique invite code.
- Export songs and collections to your device or share them with other apps (Plus and Pro plans).
- Use the app as a guest without creating an account — songs, collections, and favorites are stored locally on your device only, with no cloud sync.
The Service is available in a free tier and paid subscription tiers. Core features are available for free. Certain usage limits vary by subscription plan as described in Section 6. Guest mode is always treated as the Free tier.
3. User Accounts and Authentication
Korus offers two modes of access:
Guest Mode (local-only): You may use Korus without creating an account by selecting "Continue as Guest." In guest mode:
- All your data (songs, collections, favorites) is stored locally on your device only — nothing is synced to or stored on our servers.
- Cloud features are unavailable: no cross-device sync, no Group Collections, no subscription benefits.
- Guest mode is always treated as the Free tier.
- When you choose to sign in after using guest mode, your local guest data (songs, collections, favorites) will be migrated to your new Korus account. If you sign in to an existing Korus account, you will be warned that local guest data cannot be merged with existing cloud data and will be lost — you must confirm this before proceeding.
Account (Google OAuth): Full access to Korus requires authentication via Google OAuth. By signing in, you:
- Authorize Korus to receive your email address, full name, and profile picture URL from Google.
- Agree that your user-generated content will be synced and stored on our cloud infrastructure (Supabase).
- Are responsible for maintaining the security of your Google account.
You may sign out at any time. Upon sign-out, all local user data is cleared from your device. Your cloud data is retained and restored upon next sign-in.
4. User-Generated Content
You retain ownership of all content you create within Korus, including lyrics, collections, notes, and attachments. By using the Service, you grant Us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store and transmit your content solely for the purpose of providing the Service.
You are solely responsible for the content you upload, including:
- Ensuring you have the right to store and use the content.
- Ensuring your content does not violate any applicable laws or third-party rights.
- Not uploading content that is illegal, harmful, defamatory, or violates others' privacy.
Group Collections and Shared Content: When you add songs to a Group Collection you own, or join a Group Collection owned by another user, you acknowledge that the song content — including titles, artist names, and lyrics — will be visible to all current members of that group. You should not add content to a Group Collection that you do not wish to share with its members. Members who join your group will be able to see all songs you have added to it, including any images, PDF files, and links attached to those songs. You are responsible for the appropriateness of content you share via Group Collections.
