**Effective Date:** June 24, 2026

**Last Updated:** June 24, 2026

Welcome to Peter ("we," "our," "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our online AI Pastoral Assistant platform, website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, subscribing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

## 1. Eligibility and Accounts

* **Age Requirement:** You must be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use this Service.
* **Account Security:** When you register via Google or Apple ID, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach.

## 2. Description of Service and AI Disclaimers

Peter is an artificial intelligence-driven tool designed to assist with Bible study, theological exploration, Christian living queries, and liturgical or ministry writing (such as prayers, wedding speeches, and funeral messages).

* **Not a Human Pastor or Counselor:** Peter provides automated responses based on algorithmic retrieval from a curated library of texts. **The Service does not provide professional pastoral counseling, licensed therapy, or official ecclesiastical rulings.** It is an educational and organizational resource.
* **Theological Variances:** While Peter attempts to align outputs with your selected denomination, theological interpretations are inherently subjective. We do not guarantee spiritual or academic perfection.
* **AI Generated Output (Hallucinations):** Artificial intelligence is subject to occasional technical errors or text hallucinations. You assume full responsibility for verifying all scripture references, historical citations, and theological assertions generated by Peter before teaching, preaching, or sharing them publicly.

## 3. Premium Subscriptions, Billing, and Cancellations

* **Fees:** Access to certain features, including advanced clergy drafting tools, requires a paid premium subscription (currently $9.99/month, subject to change upon notice).
* **Billing Processing:** All payments are securely managed via our third-party processor, **Stripe**. By upgrading, you authorize Stripe to automatically charge your designated payment method on a recurring monthly basis until you cancel.
* **Cancellations:** You can cancel your subscription at any time via your account settings or the Stripe Customer Portal. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current paid billing period; we do not offer prorated refunds for partial monthly usage.

## 4. Intellectual Property and Content Ownership

* **Our Property:** The Service's underlying codebase, vector search configurations, user interface design, branding, and proprietary text libraries are the exclusive intellectual property of Peter and its licensors.
* **Your Prompts and Inputs:** You retain all intellectual property rights to the text prompts, custom context data, and specific life scenarios you input into the Service.
* **Ownership of AI-Generated Content (Sermons, Prayers, Speeches):** **You hold full ownership of the final text, sermon drafts, wedding homilies, or weekly prayers generated for you by Peter.** You have the permanent, royalty-free right to preach, modify, publish, print, or distribute these documents as part of your public ministry or personal study.

## 5. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use the Service to:

* Generate content designed to harass, abuse, defame, or intentionally mislead individuals or religious communities.
* Attempt to bypass, reverse-engineer, exploit, or "jailbreak" the underlying LLM safeguards, RAG architecture, or API filters.
* Automate mass scraping or data extraction of our proprietary Bible commentary and article library database.

## 6. Critical Safety Guardrails and Crisis Intervention

Our system utilizes automated trigger logic to detect indicators of personal crisis, self-harm, domestic abuse, or legal emergency.

* We reserve the absolute right to bypass standard conversational features to display emergency hotline numbers.
* **You explicitly acknowledge that the Service is completely unequipped to manage psychological, physical, or medical emergencies.** If you or someone you know is in danger, you must contact emergency services or a local human professional immediately.
