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.

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.
