Terms of Service

These terms explain the rules that apply when you access or use the site, its account features, and related study tools.

These terms work together with the Privacy Policy. If you use the service, you should read both documents.

Word Covenant Ministry is a Scripture-centered reading and study platform that provides Bible reading, search, timeline, chapter context, original-language tools, cross-reference study, and private verse notes.

The service is designed for Bible reading, study, education, and faith-related reference. It does not replace careful personal study, pastoral care, or professional advice in medical, legal, financial, or other regulated fields.

Some features require a user account and an authenticated session.

You are responsible for keeping your account information accurate, protecting your password, and notifying the service promptly if you believe your account has been accessed improperly.

You may not share account access in a way that exposes another person's private notes or authenticated features.

You may use the service for personal Bible reading, teaching preparation, ministry study, education, and ordinary link sharing.

You may not use the service in ways that harm the platform, other users, or the rights of content owners.

Private verse notes are personal account features tied to a specific verse reference and translation.

You are responsible for the content you write in your notes. The service does not promise permanent preservation, uninterrupted access, or archival storage.

If a note is important to you, maintain your own backup outside the service.

Scripture texts, source datasets, and study data may be subject to the rights and license terms of their respective owners or licensors. Word Covenant Ministry does not claim ownership over every Bible translation or source dataset used by the service.

Word Covenant Ministry owns its own site presentation, interface design, and original ministry-authored explanatory structure to the extent allowed by law, but that does not transfer ownership of third-party Bible texts or source datasets.

The service may change features, update data packages, correct errors, add or remove study tools, or perform maintenance at any time.

Continuous availability, error-free operation, and permanent retention of every feature are not guaranteed.

Word Covenant Ministry may limit or suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect the service, respond to security concerns, or address serious misuse of the platform.

Where practical, the service may provide notice or context, but immediate action may be necessary in some cases.

The service is provided on an as-available basis to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Study materials, timeline context, original-language aids, and related references may contain mistakes, omissions, or judgments that are later revised.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Word Covenant Ministry is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar losses arising from your use of the service.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.

If these terms change materially, the service may update the page, the document version, the last-updated date, or other site notices.

Your continued use of the service after updated terms are published means the updated terms apply to your later use of the service.

Questions about these documents, account privacy, or personal information handling should be directed through the public contact information that Word Covenant Ministry publishes on this site. A dedicated public privacy email address or postal address is not separately identified in the current repository-backed draft.
