Terms of Service — Beloved: AI Bible

Effective date: July 19, 2026 Last updated: October 14, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Beloved: AI Bible ("the app"), operated by デルフィー合同会社 (Delphi LLC) ("we", "us"). By downloading or using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country) to use the app.

2. Licence to use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app for your own personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and the app-store terms you accepted (Apple Media Services / Google Play Terms).

3. Bible text and content

• Bible text is provided from public-domain translations as configured for your language. Translation sources and attributions are listed in the app under Settings → Legal → Attributions.
• Devotional and other written content may be produced or modernised with AI assistance from public-domain sources. We do not present generated content as the work of a named living author unless explicitly attributed.
• Prayer audio and narration. The guided prayers can be listened to. Their audio is narrated with AI voices from ElevenLabs, based on recordings of professional voice actors. The recordings are bundled in the app and read the prayer texts shown on screen; scripture is not narrated.

4. AI features — important disclaimer

The app includes AI-assisted Bible chat and verse interpretation.

• AI responses are generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or not reflect your tradition or any particular church's teaching.
• AI output is not spiritual direction, doctrinal authority, or professional advice. For matters of faith, consult your own pastor, priest, or trusted spiritual authority.
• Always verify quoted scripture against your chosen Bible translation in the reader.
• Fair use. To keep the AI service available and sustainable for everyone, AI chat is subject to a fair-use limit of about 70 messages per day per device, plus short-term rate limits. This fair-use cap applies to all users, including subscribers, and is separate from the free-tier preview limit in section 6. We may adjust these limits to prevent abuse or manage service costs. (Crisis-support resources — the panic screen — are always available and are never rate-limited.)

5. Not a crisis, medical, or counselling service — important

The app may surface crisis hotline numbers and supportive scripture. The app does not provide medical, mental-health, crisis, or counselling services, and is not a substitute for professional help. If you are in danger, in crisis, or need urgent help, contact your local emergency number or a qualified professional or hotline immediately. Scripture is never offered as a replacement for professional intervention.

6. Purchases (subscriptions, lifetime, and packs)

The disclosures below are the terms Apple/Google require for auto-renewable subscriptions.

• The app may offer auto-renewable subscriptions granting access to premium content and features.
• Title / duration / price: Beloved Premium — a Monthly (auto-renews every 1 month) and an Annual (auto-renews every 12 months) subscription granting full access to premium reading plans, devotional series, and AI Bible chat. Prices are shown in-app in your local currency (US reference: $9.99 / month, $59.99 / year) and may vary by region.
• Free trial: the Annual subscription may include a free trial. The exact length is shown in the app before you confirm, and the app always shows the current length and the price that follows it. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the free trial ends, it converts automatically into a paid Annual subscription at the price shown, and continues to renew every 12 months until cancelled. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited if you buy a subscription before it ends. A free trial is available once per Apple ID per subscription group — cancelling, deleting the app, or reinstalling does not make you eligible again, and eligibility is determined by Apple, not by us.
• Auto-renewal: Your subscription automatically renews for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Billing: Payment is charged to your Apple ID / Google account at confirmation of purchase and again at each renewal.
• Managing / cancelling: Manage or cancel in your Apple ID or Google Play account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• Lifetime and one-time purchases. The app may offer a lifetime unlock and one-time content packs as non-consumable purchases (a single payment, not a recurring subscription). "Lifetime" means the lifetime of the app and this service — for as long as デルフィー合同会社 (Delphi LLC) continues to operate the app — and not the natural lifetime of any person. It does not guarantee that the app, any feature, content, or third-party service (including AI features) will remain available indefinitely; we may modify, discontinue, or retire features or the app itself, subject to applicable law. One-time purchases are non-refundable except as required by law or the app stores' policies.
• Refunds are handled by Apple / Google under their policies; we cannot issue store refunds directly.
• A free tier is available with limited usage — a set number of AI questions in total (not per week) plus previews of premium content. The exact allowance may change.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to: misuse the app or AI features (e.g. attempts to generate harmful, illegal, or abusive content); attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorised access to the app or our systems; or use the app to harass others or violate any law.

8. Intellectual property

Except for public-domain Bible text and third-party content (which remain subject to their own terms/attributions), the app, its design, and its original content are owned by デルフィー合同会社 (Delphi LLC) or its licensors and are protected by applicable laws.

9. Third-party services

The app relies on third-party services (including Anthropic, Supabase, Netlify, the app stores, and — where applicable — RevenueCat and Faith Comes By Hearing). Your use may also be subject to their terms. We are not responsible for third-party services.

10. Disclaimers

The app is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI output will be accurate.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, デルフィー合同会社 (Delphi LLC), together with its officers, employees, and licensors, will not be liable for any damages of any kind — direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive, or any loss of data, goodwill, or other intangible loss — arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the app, its AI features, its content, or any reliance on them, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages. You use the app entirely at your own risk. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory applicable law (including certain consumer-protection rights).

12. Changes

We may modify the app or these Terms. Material changes to the Terms will be indicated by the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, an in-app notice. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms. You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, with the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance for any dispute, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory local consumer-protection law applies.
