These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Sabaha (사바하, the "App"), provided by Appbridge. By using the App you agree to these Terms.
1. About the App
The App lets you:
- Read Buddhist scriptures in Korean one verse at a time, with Hanja and readings where available
- Read plain-language notes and term explanations written for the App
- Use a Buddhist calendar, a 108-prostration counter, prayer beads and a meditation timer
- See headlines from Korean Buddhist newspapers and open the original articles
The App is free to use and has no account or advertising.
2. Scripture Texts and Licenses
The scripture texts in the App come from Korean Wikisource (ko.wikisource.org):
- Diamond Sutra, Heart Sutra and Beopseonggye: original texts in the public domain; Korean translations released by their contributors into the public domain on Wikisource
- Thirty Verses on Consciousness-Only (유식삼십송): Korean translation by Lee Seong-jae, licensed CC BY-SA 3.0
- Sutra on the Profound Kindness of Parents (부모은중경): Korean text as published on Wikisource
Verse divisions, red-letter marking of the Buddha's words and Hanja alignment were produced automatically and may contain errors. The original Wikisource spelling is kept as is. The typeface Noto Serif KR is used under the SIL Open Font License. The woodblock image of the 868 CE Diamond Sutra is in the public domain.
3. Notes and Explanations
The notes, explanations and term glossaries are study aids written for the App. They are not authoritative religious teaching and may contain mistakes. For serious study or practice, please consult the original texts and a qualified teacher.
4. News
News headlines, short summaries and links are provided by Korean Buddhist newspapers and relayed through our server. Copyright in the articles belongs to each publisher. The App shows only the headline, a short summary and a link, and opening an article takes you to the publisher's website. We are not responsible for the accuracy or availability of third-party content.
5. Calendar and Practice Tools
Lunar dates and observance days are calculated in the App and may differ by a day from calendars issued by temples or organizations. The practice tools are simple counters and a timer; please practice within your physical limits and stop if you feel unwell. The meditation timer does not play an alert when it ends.
6. Intellectual Property
The App's design, source code, notes and original materials belong to Appbridge. Scripture texts and third-party materials remain under the rights and licenses of their respective owners as described above. Please do not copy or redistribute the App itself without permission.
7. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
The App is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, Appbridge is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from use of the App, including loss of data stored on your device.
8. Changes and Termination
We may change, suspend or discontinue the App or these Terms. The latest Terms are always available on this page.
9. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea.
