Effective Date: March 13, 2026

Welcome to Claritas (www.getclaritas.com) (“we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Description of Service

Claritas is a platform that delivers curated news content alongside Scripture, offering Bible reading tools, daily digests, and contemplative features. The Service is provided for personal, non-commercial use.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EU) to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this age requirement. If you are under 18, you confirm that you have your parent or guardian's consent to use the Service.

3. Accounts

Some features of the Service require you to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information when creating your account
• Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account
• Not share your account credentials with others

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated means to access or collect content from the Service without our written permission
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service
• Reproduce, redistribute, or republish our content without authorization
• Use the Service for any commercial purpose without our prior consent

5. Content & Intellectual Property

All content provided through the Service — including articles, summaries, commentary, and original editorial material — is owned by or licensed to Claritas and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without our express written permission.

Bible text displayed through the Service is sourced from publicly available translations and is used in accordance with their respective usage guidelines.

Features such as highlights, bookmarks, and personal notes you create within the Service remain yours. By using the Service, you grant us a limited license to store and display this content back to you as part of the Service.

6. Third-Party Content & Links

The Service may include links to third-party websites, news sources, and other external resources. We do not control or endorse these third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk.

7. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that:

• The Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
• Content will be accurate, complete, or current
• Any errors or defects will be corrected

Claritas provides news summaries and editorial content for informational purposes only. Our content does not constitute professional, legal, financial, or theological advice.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Claritas and its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you have paid us, if any, in the 12 months preceding the claim.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Claritas and its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification — will continue to apply.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

12. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of competent jurisdiction.
