Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of houdhoud.com. By using the site or purchasing a Name Story, you agree to them. We've kept the terms short on purpose. If something here is unclear, write to hello@houdhoud.com.

The service

houdhoud.com is a baby-name discovery tool. It produces name recommendations and a 12-page Name Story document that combines etymology, Qur'anic references, calligraphy, and personalization. The recommendations are generated with the assistance of a language model. They are informational, not advisory.

Houdhoud is an AI persona, not a person, and not a religious authority. Nothing on the site is a religious ruling, a legal opinion, or professional advice of any kind.

As-is, no warranty

The service is provided 'as is' and 'as available,' without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that any specific name is the 'correct' name for any specific family. We don't guarantee that the site will be uninterrupted, free of errors, or available in your region.

We work hard on accuracy, and our about page describes the sourcing rules we follow. If you find a mistake, please tell us at hello@houdhoud.com — we update gratefully — but we don't warrant that the information is error-free.

Personal use only

The Name Story document, the recommendations, and the calligraphy we generate are for your personal and family use. You may print them, share them with friends and relatives, and frame them on a wall. You may not:

• Resell or redistribute the Name Story document, in whole or in part.
• Use the content for commercial purposes, including reselling names on another platform, training a machine-learning model, or incorporating it into a product.
• Scrape the site at scale or use automated tools to bulk-extract names data.

Refunds and orders

See the refund policy. In short: 30-day money-back, email us and we'll handle it. refund policy.

Refusal of service

We reserve the right to refuse or terminate service for any reason, including (but not limited to) abusive behavior, fraud, suspected misuse of the API, or content that violates these terms. If we refuse a paid order, we'll refund it.

Intellectual property

The brand, design, copy, and original calligraphy templates on houdhoud.com are ours. The names and Qur'anic verses themselves aren't — they belong to the language and the tradition. Quotations from the Qur'an are sourced from the Tanzil project (text) and Saheeh International (English translation, 1997); their respective licensing terms apply.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or US$10, whichever is greater. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages.

Disputes

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the service will be resolved in the small-claims court of the founder's jurisdiction, with the laws of that jurisdiction governing. Specific jurisdiction details will be filled in before public launch; if that hasn't happened by the time you're reading this and you have a dispute, please write to hello@houdhoud.com and we'll work it out directly.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The 'Last updated' date at the top of the page reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the new terms.
