BIBLE BUDDYLegal — the fine print, readable
Terms of service.
Please read carefully. These Terms include an arbitration clause in Section 12. Except for certain disputes described there, you and Throwing Eights agree that disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration, and you waive any right to participate in a class action to the extent permitted by law.
Who we are and what these terms cover
Bible Buddy is owned and operated by Throwing Eights Pty Ltd ABN 53 670 017 802. These Terms govern your access to and use of the Bible Buddy website, mobile applications, and related services (the "Services"). By creating an account, using the Services, or clicking "I agree" at signup, you confirm you have read and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Our services
Bible Buddy currently provides: an AI chat buddy interface (text-based and, if enabled, voice-based); a static Bible reader; a private journal; and the ability to save favourite verses. We may add, remove, or modify features from time to time — if changes materially affect your rights, we'll provide reasonable notice where practical.
Not medical, mental health, or emergency services
Bible Buddy is software for informational and personal use. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical, psychological, counselling, or crisis services. Do not rely on it for medical, mental health, legal, financial, or other professional advice — always seek a qualified professional.
Emergencies: do not use Bible Buddy. Australia: call 000. New Zealand: call 111. Elsewhere: contact your local emergency number.
Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 16 years old; if under 18, you need permission from a parent or legal guardian. We may require age confirmation and may suspend accounts that don't meet these requirements. You must provide accurate information at registration, keep your credentials confidential, and you're responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of unauthorised access.
Your content
"User Content" includes chat messages, journal entries, and notes. You retain ownership. You grant us a limited licence to host, store, transmit, display, and process it only to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Services, and to provide the features you request.
Prohibited content and uses include: unlawful or rights-infringing conduct; harassment, abuse, or violence; harmful or unsafe use; exploiting or targeting minors; malware or security threats; unauthorised access or data misuse; non-human/automated use (bots, scrapers, LLM agents) without written authorisation; reverse engineering or misrepresentation; bypassing authentication, rate limits, or safeguards; using the Services as permanent storage or backup; and misuse of our intellectual property. We may apply rate limiting, blocking, suspension, or termination — without prior notice where necessary — to protect the Services and users.
Acceptable use
You agree not to: reverse engineer or extract source code (except as allowed by law); scrape, crawl, or bulk-download content; use automated systems that overload or degrade the Services; or resell, rent, or commercially exploit the Services without our written agreement.
AI chat buddy and limitations
The AI may generate inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate outputs, and can reflect biases in training data. You are responsible for how you use outputs; check them before relying on them. We do not guarantee AI responses are correct or suitable for any purpose.
Subscriptions, payments, and consumer rights
Some features may be paid; pricing is shown in-app or at checkout before purchase. App Store / Google Play purchases are managed (including cancellations and refunds) through the store. Direct website purchases may be processed by third-party payment providers; checkout terms form part of these Terms. Nothing in these Terms excludes consumer guarantees or remedies under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.
Suspension, downgrading, and termination
We may suspend, restrict, downgrade, or terminate access where we reasonably believe you've breached these Terms, your use creates legal/security/safety risk, usage is abusive or automated, the law requires it, or features are modified or discontinued. Where reasonable we'll give notice; urgent cases may be immediate. Downgrading (e.g. for nonpayment or plan changes) may remove access to features. You can cancel anytime via your payment method or marketplace — email or social media requests don't count. On termination, your access ends and content (chats, journal, favourites) may be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Cancellation stops future billing; charges before termination remain payable.
Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information. By using the Services, you acknowledge it.
Disclaimers and limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available" — we don't promise they'll be uninterrupted or error-free. We're not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, or loss of data. Where liability can't be excluded (including under the Australian Consumer Law), it's limited to the remedies available under that law and, where permitted, to resupplying the Services or paying the cost of resupply.
Dispute resolution and arbitration
Contact us first at support@throwingeights.com.au — include your name, account email, and the issue. If unresolved after 60 days' written notice, disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration, except small-claims matters, urgent injunctive relief, and matters the law requires a court to hear. Arbitration is conducted in Australia, in English, under Victorian law, administered by an agreed independent body (or appointed under the Commercial Arbitration Act). Disputes are individual only — no class or representative proceedings, to the extent permitted by law. Costs are allocated by the arbitrator considering fairness and access to justice. If part of this clause is unenforceable, the rest stands.
Intellectual property
We own all rights in the Services — software, branding, and design — except your User Content. You may not use our trademarks or branding without written permission.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms. If changes are material, we'll take reasonable steps to notify you via the Services or email. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the update.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria, except where disputes are resolved by arbitration under Section 12.
