6. Disclaimers and Limitations

Service Availability

While we strive for 100% uptime, Grace Speak is provided "as is" and "as available." We cannot guarantee uninterrupted access and may need to perform maintenance or updates that temporarily affect service.

AI-Generated Content

Our AI-powered prayers are designed to align with biblical principles, but they are generated by technology and should supplement, not replace, personal prayer and Scripture study. We encourage users to always test everything against God's Word and seek guidance from mature Christians and pastoral leadership.

Not Professional Counseling

Grace Speak provides spiritual resources and community connection but is not a substitute for professional counseling, therapy, or medical treatment. If you're experiencing serious mental health concerns, please seek help from qualified professionals.

Third-Party Content

We are not responsible for content shared by other users or accessed through external links. While we moderate our community, users are ultimately responsible for their own spiritual discernment.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grace Speak and its team shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app or these Terms.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising from your use of Grace Speak shall not exceed $100 or the amount you have paid us (if any) in the past twelve months.

8. Account Termination

Your Right to Terminate

You may delete your account and stop using Grace Speak at any time. When you delete your account, your personal data will be permanently removed from our servers according to our Privacy Policy.

Our Right to Terminate

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in harmful behavior, or compromise the safety and integrity of our Christian community. We will provide notice when possible, but reserve the right to take immediate action for serious violations.

Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use Grace Speak ends immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (such as privacy protections and intellectual property rights) will continue to apply.

9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where Grace Speak is incorporated, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Christian Dispute Resolution

In keeping with biblical principles (Matthew 18:15-17, 1 Corinthians 6:1-8), we encourage resolution of disputes through direct communication and, if necessary, Christian mediation before pursuing legal action.

We're committed to resolving any issues in a spirit of grace, truth, and mutual respect. Please contact us at support@gracespeak.com if you have concerns.
