Terms of Service

Effective date: [Effective Date]
Operator: [Legal Entity Name] (“we”, “us”, “our”)
Contact: [Contact Email]

This is a draft pending legal verification and completion.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of FaithApp and related websites (the “Service”) operated by [Legal Entity Name]. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

FaithApp provides tools for personal journaling, personalized spiritual devotionals (including scripture, prayer, and encouragement), scripture reading features, optional media suggestions, optional community discussion (“Threads”), notifications, widgets, and related features. Features may change over time as we improve the product.

2. Eligibility and accounts

FaithApp is available to users of every age. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with involvement of a parent or guardian as required by local law. You are responsible for your account credentials and for activity under your account. Notify us promptly of unauthorized use at [Contact Email].

We do not require your legal full name. Your profile may use a nickname and optional details you choose. You may register with an email that does not contain your real name. You are responsible for choosing credentials and profile details that match your own privacy goals (see our Privacy Policy).

3. Subscriptions and payments

Some features of FaithApp may require a paid subscription. We do not sell physical goods through the app. Prices, billing periods, trials, and benefits are shown at the point of purchase (including in the Apple App Store or Google Play where applicable).

  • Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled according to the store’s or payment provider’s process before the renewal date.
  • Taxes may apply. Refunds are handled under the applicable store’s rules and applicable law.
  • We may change subscription pricing with notice as required; changes generally apply to subsequent renewal periods.

4. Your content

You retain ownership of content you create in FaithApp, including diary entries, voice notes, attachments, highlights, and Threads posts (“Your Content”). Your diary is private to your account and is not automatically published to Threads or other users. You grant [Legal Entity Name] a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, transmit, display, and create derivative technical outputs from Your Content solely as needed to operate, secure, personalize, and improve the Service (for example generating devotionals from diary themes). This license ends when Your Content is deleted from our active systems, subject to residual backups and legal retention needs.

You represent that you have the rights needed to submit Your Content and that it does not violate law or these Terms. For your own privacy, we encourage journaling without unnecessary real names or exact addresses when those details are not needed for your reflection (for example, “my brother” rather than a full legal name).

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for unlawful, harmful, harassing, hateful, exploitative, or fraudulent purposes;
  • Post or share sexual content involving minors, or any child sexual abuse material;
  • Threaten, stalk, defame, or incite violence against others;
  • Spam, scrape, reverse engineer (except where allowed by law), disrupt, or overload the Service;
  • Impersonate others or misrepresent affiliation;
  • Attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data;
  • Use community features to publish another person’s private diary or sensitive information without permission.

We may remove content, limit features, or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or create risk for users or the Service.

6. Community (Threads)

Threads is optional. Your private diary is not automatically shared there. Public posts may be visible to other users under the nickname and profile details you set. If you value privacy, avoid a nickname or location that identifies you in real life, and do not paste private diary passages into public posts. Be respectful. Do not treat Threads as professional counseling, emergency services, or a substitute for local community care. We may moderate content but do not guarantee that we review everything in advance.

6A. Account security

You agree to use a strong password, keep it confidential, and use available app lock features (such as PIN or biometrics) where offered. You are responsible for activity under your account if you leave the device unlocked or share your credentials.

7. Spiritual content disclaimer

Devotionals, prayers, motivation text, scripture presentations, media suggestions, and related materials are provided for personal reflection and general encouragement. They are not medical, psychological, psychiatric, legal, financial, or professional advice, and they are not a substitute for qualified clergy, counselors, physicians, or emergency services. If you are in crisis or think you may harm yourself or others, contact local emergency services or a crisis hotline immediately.

Scripture text may be provided under public-domain or licensed editions. Third-party translations and media remain subject to their own rights and terms.

8. Third-party services

The Service may integrate or link to third parties (for example hosting/auth providers, AI providers, YouTube, Spotify, and app stores). Your use of those services is governed by their terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services we do not control.

9. Intellectual property

FaithApp, including software, design, branding, and original content we create (excluding Your Content and third-party materials), is owned by [Legal Entity Name] or its licensors. You receive a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service as allowed by these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from our software or branding except as permitted by law.

10. Availability and changes

We aim for reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Features may be added, changed, or removed. We may suspend access for maintenance, security, or legal reasons.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account where that option is available. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Provisions that by nature should survive (including ownership, disclaimers, limitations, and indemnity) will survive termination.

12. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, [Legal Entity Name] AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) [Liability Cap Amount, e.g. 50 USD], EXCEPT WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW.

14. Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify [Legal Entity Name] against claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content, your misuse of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law, to the extent permitted by law.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [Governing Jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence apply. Courts in [Venue / Courts] will have jurisdiction, subject to those protections.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new effective date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where required. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance, except where law requires otherwise.
