These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and
Astropulse LLC ("Astropulse," "we," "us," or "our"), a New Hampshire
limited liability company, governing your use of the Semantic Interlinear Bible — the
website at silbible.com, its mobile application, and related services
(together, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our
Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Important. The Service includes expanded readings, notes, summaries, and
chat answers that are produced in part by artificial intelligence. They are a study aid and
may contain errors. They are not Scripture, and they are not a substitute for the biblical
text, for qualified teaching, or for professional advice. See Section 9.
1. Acceptance and changes
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. We may update these Terms
from time to time; when we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, for
material changes, provide a more prominent notice where appropriate. Your continued use
of the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
2. The Service
The Semantic Interlinear Bible is a free Bible-study tool built on the Berean Standard
Bible together with original-language data, lexicons, and reference sources. It offers
expanded readings, word-by-word study, cross-references, maps, a study chat, audio
readings, and related features, many of which are generated with the help of artificial
intelligence and saved for everyone. The core Service is free to use, and the material it
generates can be downloaded and kept offline. We may add, change, or discontinue features
at any time.
3. Eligibility and accounts
You may use the Service without an account. You may also create a free account to sync
your highlights, notes, and chats across devices, and an account is required to hold a
supporter subscription. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. You are
responsible for providing accurate information, for keeping your password confidential,
and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at
support@silbible.com if you believe your account
has been used without your permission.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
use the Service in violation of any law or the rights of others;
attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the Service, its
systems, or other users' accounts or data;
circumvent or interfere with usage limits, security features, or rate limiting, or use
bots, scrapers, or other automated means to access the Service beyond ordinary personal
use;
use the study chat or other features to generate or distribute unlawful, harmful,
harassing, hateful, or deceptive content;
resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service except as expressly
permitted; or
misrepresent your identity or impersonate any person or organization.
We may limit, suspend, or terminate access that we reasonably believe violates these Terms.
5. Your content and display names
"Your Content" means the highlights, notes, drawings, saved items, chat messages, and
similar material you create in the Service. As between you and us, you retain your rights
in Your Content. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and
transmit Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you (for example, to
sync it across your devices and, for chat, to generate a response). You are responsible
for Your Content and for having the right to submit it.
If you choose a public display name for the Supporters list, you must not use a name that
is offensive, misleading, infringing, or that impersonates another person or
organization. We may remove or decline to display any name at our discretion. Providing a
name is optional, and you can change or remove it at any time.
6. Donations
Donations are entirely optional and support the continued operation of the Service. A
donation does not unlock any feature — the Service is already free. As a thank-you, you
may have the name you choose added to the public Supporters list. The minimum donation is
$1. Donations are final and non-refundable.
7. Supporter subscriptions and billing
A supporter subscription is an optional, recurring payment that helps keep the Service
free for everyone and, as a thank-you, unlocks convenience features such as additional
reading voices, original-language audio readings, a higher study-chat allowance, and an
optional Supporters listing. Nothing in the paid tier is more accurate, more
complete, or more insightful than the free Service — the substantive study
content is the same for everyone.
Plans and price. Subscriptions are offered on a monthly basis
(currently $3 per month) and, where available, an annual basis (currently $30 per year).
The price and any applicable taxes are shown before you check out. We may change
subscription pricing prospectively; a price change will not affect a term you have
already paid for, and we will provide notice before it applies to a renewal.
Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of
each billing period (monthly or annual) using your payment method on file, until you
cancel. By subscribing, you authorize these recurring charges.
Cancellation. You may cancel at any time from the
Support page (or, for subscriptions purchased through an app
store, through that store). When you cancel, your subscription remains active through
the end of the period you have already paid for and then does not renew.
No refunds. Payments are final. We do not provide refunds or credits
for partial billing periods, unused time, or features you did not use, except where
required by law.
Payment processing. Payments are handled by Stripe (or, for in-app
purchases, the applicable app store). We do not receive or store your full card details.
You are responsible for keeping your payment information current; if a renewal payment
fails, we may suspend the paid features until payment succeeds.
8. Third-party services
The Service relies on third parties, including Stripe (payments), our AI model provider
(study chat), infrastructure and delivery providers, and, where you obtain the app or a
subscription through them, the Apple App Store and Google Play. Your use of those services
is subject to their own terms and policies, and we are not responsible for them. Where you
purchase a subscription through an app store, that store's billing, renewal, and refund
rules also apply.
9. Intellectual property
The Berean Standard Bible text is in the public domain. Certain lexical, geographic, and
reference data are used under their respective open licenses, as credited on the Service.
The Service's generated readings, notes, summaries, software, design, and compilation are
owned by Astropulse or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We
grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the
Service for your own study, including downloading generated material for personal,
non-commercial use. You may not copy, redistribute at scale, or create a competing service
from the Service's software or generated database except as permitted by the applicable
open licenses or by us in writing. These Terms do not transfer any of our rights to you.
10. Disclaimers
The expanded readings, summaries, word studies, and study-chat answers are produced in
part by artificial intelligence and other automated processes. They are provided as a
study aid and may be incomplete or inaccurate. They are not Scripture and
are not a substitute for the biblical text itself, and nothing in the Service is
theological, legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice. Always weigh the
Service's output against Scripture and sound judgment.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND,
WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO
NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY
CONTENT IS ACCURATE OR RELIABLE. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty
exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.
11. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ASTROPULSE AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, AND SUPPLIERS
WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR
USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO
THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS
BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (b) TWENTY U.S. DOLLARS ($20). Some
jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Astropulse and its owners, members, and suppliers
from any claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees)
arising out of your misuse of the Service, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms
or of any law or the rights of another.
13. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time, and you may delete your account by contacting
us. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or to protect the
Service or its users. If your account is terminated, any active subscription will be
handled as described in Section 7. Sections that by their nature should survive
termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability,
indemnification, and governing law — will survive.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire, United States, without
regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located
in New Hampshire will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or
relating to these Terms or the Service, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue,
except where applicable law grants you the right to bring a claim elsewhere. If any
provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in
full force.
