Terms of Service

Last updated: May 4, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Feason (“Feason,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using feason.com or any related features (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced in the Service and will require renewed acceptance before continued use.

2. Eligibility

U.S. residents only. The Service is offered solely to residents of the United States. By creating an account or using the Service, you represent that you are a resident of the United States. We do not target or actively market the Service to users outside the United States, and we may decline service or terminate accounts that we determine are based outside the United States.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's permission to use the Service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if we learn we have, we will delete it.

You represent that the information you provide is accurate and that you are not barred from using the Service under the laws of your jurisdiction.

3. Description of Service

Feason is a faith and theology platform offering scripture study tools, writings, community articles, journaling, short community reflections, AI-assisted conversation (the “Intelligence” and “Lexicon” chat features), and related educational content. The Service is provided for personal, non-commercial, and educational use only.

4. Accounts & Security

You are responsible for the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly of any suspected unauthorized use. We may disable accounts that we reasonably believe have been compromised or that are used in violation of these Terms.

5. User Content & License

“User Content” means anything you post, upload, or submit to the Service, including forum threads, replies, comments, journal entries, scripture notes, fellowship comments on verses, messages to the AI assistants, profile information, and uploaded images.

You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant Feason a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your User Content solely as necessary to operate, maintain, and improve the Service and as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not use your User Content to train third-party AI models, and we do not sell your User Content.

You represent and warrant that (a) you own your User Content or have the necessary rights to it, and (b) your User Content does not violate any law or infringe any third party's rights.

Link previews. When your User Content contains a URL, our server may fetch publicly available metadata from that URL (such as its title, description, and the domain it resolves to) and cache a short summary alongside your post so that other users can see what you shared. The cached summary is removed when you delete the post. We do not re-host images from the destination site; summaries are stored as plain text.

6. AI Features & Disclaimer

The Service offers AI-powered conversation features (“AI Features”) that generate responses using third-party large language models (currently Anthropic's Claude). By using AI Features, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Not advice. AI output is generated from statistical patterns and is provided for educational and reflective purposes only. It is not a substitute for counsel from a qualified priest, pastor, spiritual director, physician, attorney, financial advisor, mental-health professional, or any other licensed professional.
  • May be inaccurate. AI responses can be incomplete, misleading, or factually wrong, including in matters of theology, history, Scripture, and citation. You are responsible for verifying any information before relying on it.
  • Sent to third parties. Your prompts and conversation history are transmitted to our AI provider for processing. Do not submit personal confidences, confessions, medical information, legal matters, passwords, payment data, or other sensitive information through the AI Features.
  • Logged. We retain AI conversation transcripts associated with your account so you can revisit or delete them. Our provider may retain data on its own systems for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, per its policies.
  • Prohibited AI uses. You may not use the AI Features to attempt prompt injection or jailbreak attacks, to extract the system prompt, to generate content that violates Section 7, to reverse-engineer the underlying model, or to build a competing product.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Violate any applicable law or the rights of others;
  • Post content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, threatening, hateful, obscene, sexually explicit, or that incites violence;
  • Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
  • Post spam, chain messages, malware, or phishing content;
  • Share links to illegal downloads, pirated media, or content whose distribution violates intellectual-property rights;
  • Upload images or other content that is obscene, violent, or that infringes intellectual-property or publicity rights;
  • Scrape, crawl, or harvest content from the Service except via features we expose for that purpose;
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, bypass rate limits, or interfere with its operation;
  • Use the Service, or data obtained from it, to train machine-learning models or to develop a competing service;
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or data.

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, at our discretion, with or without notice.

8. Reporting & Moderation

You can report any gleam or other user-posted content using the in-app Report button, or by contacting us. We review reports in good faith and may remove content, notify the author, and — in the case of repeated or serious violations — restrict or terminate the offending account. We do not pre-screen content and have no obligation to do so, but we reserve the right to remove content and take action at our discretion.

Notice of removal. When we remove your content for a Terms violation, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the removal, typically with a brief explanation. If you believe your content was removed in error, you may contact us through the Contact page to request review.

Repeat violators. Users who repeatedly post spam, harassing content, or links to malware, phishing, or illegal material may have their accounts suspended or terminated. Copyright-infringement repeat-offender policy is addressed separately in our DMCA Policy.

9. Fellowship & Public Content

Some features (such as Gleams, Articles, fellowship verse comments, and public profiles) make your content visible to other users and, in some cases, to the public internet. Do not post anything you do not want visible. You are solely responsible for your public content, and we may remove it if it violates these Terms.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, trademarks, and curated content (excluding User Content and third-party Scripture texts), is owned by Feason and protected by intellectual-property laws. Bible texts and dictionary entries are provided by third-party sources under their respective licenses. See our DMCA Policy for takedown requests.

11. Account Termination & Data Deletion

You may delete your account at any time from your profile settings or by contacting us. Upon deletion, we remove your account and associated personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business reasons such as fraud prevention. Public content you have posted (e.g., forum replies) may remain visible in anonymized form unless you delete it first.

We may suspend or terminate your access for any violation of these Terms, for suspected fraud or abuse, or if we are required to do so by law.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT (INCLUDING AI OUTPUT) ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FEASON AND ITS OFFICERS, CONTRIBUTORS, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR ANY AI OUTPUT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100). Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability; in those jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Feason and its officers, contributors, and licensors from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your User Content, (b) your use of the Service, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

15. Third-Party Services & Affiliate Links

The Service integrates with third-party providers (authentication, hosting, AI inference, Scripture text, and dictionary APIs). Your use of those providers' features may be subject to their own terms. Feason is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program; when you click affiliate links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

16. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Before filing any formal dispute, you agree to contact us first and to attempt in good faith to resolve the matter informally for at least thirty (30) days.

Binding individual arbitration. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, held in San Francisco, California, or by videoconference. You and Feason each waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Either party may still bring qualifying claims in small-claims court.

Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to us within 30 days of first accepting these Terms; opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

17. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and DMCA Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Feason regarding the Service.
