Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using ScriptureVerse at scriptureverse.app ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

ScriptureVerse is an interactive Bible visualization platform that provides a graphical interface for exploring scriptural content, an AI-powered teaching companion, and personal journey tracking. The Service is provided "as is" and is intended for personal spiritual study and education.

3. Accounts

Some features, such as the Teacher and subscriptions, need an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

You must provide accurate information when creating your account. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service.

4. Subscription Plans and Payment

ScriptureVerse offers the following plans:

• Free: Browse every visualization lens, word study, and reading tool at no cost. Includes up to 3 AI Teacher questions per day.
• 7-day trial on our website: Requires a payment method up front. Includes 50 credits and up to 5 Teacher questions per day. Nothing is charged until the trial ends, and you may cancel before then.
• ScriptureVerse on our website ($33.33/month, or $333/year): Includes 500 credits each billing period. Teacher questions cost 1-10 credits each depending on the depth of the answer. Additional credits may be purchased at any time and do not expire.

Credits are consumed only when the AI Teacher returns an answer. You are not charged for a request that fails. Unused credits carry over for as long as your account is open.

Credits apply to plans bought on our website. A subscription bought in the ScriptureVerse iPhone app includes the AI Teacher under a daily fair-use limit and does not use credits.

Subscriptions bought on our website are billed monthly or yearly through our payment processor (Stripe). You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then.

Subscriptions bought in the iPhone app

Subscriptions bought in the ScriptureVerse iPhone app are sold through Apple's App Store and billed to your Apple ID. The price and billing period (monthly or yearly) are shown in the app before you buy, in your local currency.

• Where a free trial is offered, it lasts 7 days. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription you chose begins and is charged to your Apple ID when the trial ends.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, or at the end of a free trial. The subscription renews automatically at the same price and period until you cancel, and your Apple ID is charged within 24 hours before the end of each period.
• You can manage or cancel the subscription at any time in your Apple ID settings (on iPhone: Settings, your name, Subscriptions). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period, and you keep access until then. Turning off renewal at least 24 hours before the period ends avoids the next charge.
• Any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription.
• Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under Apple's terms. Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to the iPhone app.

We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice. Price changes will not affect your current billing cycle.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the Service
• Scrape, crawl, or programmatically access the Service without written permission
• Share your account credentials with others
• Attempt to circumvent subscription tier limits or rate limiting
• Use the AI Teacher to generate content that is harmful, misleading, or unrelated to biblical study
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure

6. AI Teacher Disclaimer

The AI Teacher is powered by artificial intelligence and is designed to assist with biblical study and spiritual exploration. While we strive for accuracy:

• AI-generated responses may contain errors or inaccuracies
• The AI Teacher is not a substitute for professional theological counsel, pastoral guidance, or mental health support
• Responses reflect patterns in training data and may not represent all theological perspectives
• You should verify important theological claims with authoritative sources

7. Intellectual Property

The ScriptureVerse platform, including its design, code, visualizations, and AI systems, is owned by ScriptureVerse. All rights reserved.

Bible text displayed in the Service is from public domain translations (primarily the World English Bible) or is used under license. Cross-reference data is derived from the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge (public domain).

Your conversation history, journey data, and personal notes remain yours. For a copy of them, write to us at the address in section 14.

8. Data and Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your information.

9. Termination

You may delete your account at any time: in the ScriptureVerse app under Profile, or in your account settings on the website. Deleting it removes your personal data, conversation history, and journey data from our database at once, and we ask PostHog and RevenueCat to delete what they hold about you. Stripe and Apple keep the records of payments they processed, as the law requires.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms. We will provide notice and an opportunity to export your data when reasonably possible.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ScriptureVerse shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, arising out of your use of the Service. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI-generated content will be accurate or suitable for any particular purpose.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or through the Service. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. If you disagree with updated Terms, you may close your account.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of the state in which ScriptureVerse is incorporated.
