Terms of Use
These terms set practical expectations for using the Verum Bible website and mobile applications (collectively, the “Services”). If you do not agree with them, do not use the Services or create an account.
Effective and last updated: September 13, 2026
Independent Project Notice
Verum Bible is an independently created and operated Bible-reading and study service available through the Services. It is owned and operated by Ryan Knaggs, a sole proprietor—not a corporation, church, or official teaching platform. Verum Bible is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or associated with Verbum, Logos Bible Software, Faithlife, or their respective owners. All third-party names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
Purpose and acceptance
Verum Bible provides Bible reading, study organization, topical collections, reading plans, devotionals, maps, historical context, and optional AI-assisted study through the Services. By using the Services, you agree to use them lawfully and responsibly and to respect the rights attached to Bible translations and third-party resources.
Educational and spiritual content
Verum Bible’s content is offered for Bible study, education, reflection, and personal spiritual practice. It is not professional medical, mental-health, legal, financial, emergency, safeguarding, or pastoral advice. A topical page about anxiety, illness, abuse, finances, marriage, or another serious concern is not a diagnosis or individualized care plan.
Seek qualified help when a situation requires it. If someone may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or an appropriate crisis resource.
Accounts and your content
- You are responsible for keeping your password and devices secure.
- Do not use another person’s account or attempt to access data that is not yours.
- You retain responsibility for notes and other material you enter. Do not submit unlawful, abusive, infringing, or highly sensitive content.
- Features may store information locally or sync selected study data through Supabase as explained in the Privacy Policy.
Signed-in users can use the Profile page’s Delete account control. It requires deliberate confirmation and uses a server-authorized request to remove the account and account-linked application data described in the Privacy Policy. If the request does not complete, contact support@verumbible.com for an account or privacy request. Do not send passwords or authentication codes by email.
Usage metadata
Verum Bible uses Clevaryn Analytics to collect usage metadata such as page paths, referral information, device measurements, general interactions, and randomly generated visitor and session identifiers. More detail is available in the Privacy Policy.
AI-generated study responses
AI responses can be incomplete, inaccurate, or unable to represent every interpretive tradition. Verify important claims against Scripture and reliable sources. Do not treat an AI response as divine authority, a prediction, professional advice, or the judgment of a qualified pastor or scholar.
Bible translations and other rights
Bible translation texts remain subject to their own public-domain status, licenses, attribution requirements, territorial rules, and publisher rights. The presence of a translation in Verum Bible does not transfer ownership to Verum Bible or give users rights beyond the translation’s applicable terms.
Verum Bible’s original interface, study organization, writing, and artwork are separate from the licenses governing Bible texts. Review the Bible Translation Licenses before redistributing substantial Scripture text.
Acceptable use
Do not interfere with the Services, evade rate limits, probe accounts or systems without authorization, introduce malicious code, scrape in a way that harms availability, misrepresent Verum Bible content as professional advice, or use the Services to violate another person’s rights.
Accuracy, availability, and changes
Verum Bible aims to correct errors and make study material clear, but it does not promise that every passage connection, historical statement, map location, AI answer, or feature will always be complete, uninterrupted, or error-free. Features and content may change, be corrected, or become unavailable.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided without guarantees beyond those that cannot legally be excluded. These terms do not specify a governing-law jurisdiction or venue.
Questions about these terms
Use the Contact & Feedback page or email support@verumbible.com for questions about these terms, corrections, account help, or privacy requests. Account ownership may need to be verified before an account-specific request is acted upon.
