Terms of Use

Introduction

These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", or "your") and OakDev & AI AB, a Swedish limited liability company ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"), governing your access to and use of the ChristBay iOS mobile application and any related services, features, websites, and content (collectively, the "Service").

Please read these Terms carefully before downloading, installing, or using ChristBay. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service in any manner, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not download, install, or use ChristBay.

1.1 Purpose of the App

ChristBay is a personal, ad-free devotional application for Protestant Christian faith practice. It provides daily scripture readings, guided reflection sessions, a private prayer journal, and faith journey tracking tools. The App is designed to support sincere personal devotion and is not intended as a replacement for community worship, pastoral counselling, or theological education.

1.2 Relationship to Other Documents

These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy (available at /privacy/). In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy on matters of data protection, the Privacy Policy shall prevail. These Terms do not govern Apple's relationship with you — that is governed by Apple's own Media Services Terms and Conditions and applicable App Store policies.

1.3 Language

These Terms are written in English. In the event of any conflict between a translated version and the English version, the English version shall prevail.

The Parties

By entering into these Terms, you represent that you are a natural person using the Service for your own personal, non-commercial devotional use, or that you have full legal authority to bind the entity on whose behalf you use the Service.

Definitions

The following definitions apply throughout these Terms:

Acceptance of Terms

Your use of the Service constitutes your full and unconditional acceptance of these Terms. Acceptance occurs at the earliest of the following moments:

1. When you download or install ChristBay from the Apple App Store.
2. When you launch the App for the first time and proceed past any onboarding screen.
3. When you tap "Continue", "Agree", or any equivalent button presented during onboarding.
4. When you make any in-app purchase.
5. When you use any feature of the Service.

4.1 Minors

If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the Service with the involvement, consent, and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who has agreed to these Terms on your behalf. By using the Service, you represent that either you are of the age of majority or that your parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms.

4.2 On Behalf of a Legal Entity

If you use the Service on behalf of a church, organisation, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and your acceptance binds that entity. In that case, references to "you" and "your" in these Terms refer to that entity.

4.3 Updates to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Your continued use of the Service after updated Terms are effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. See Section 29 for full details about how we handle changes to these Terms.

Eligibility

To use ChristBay, you must meet all of the following eligibility requirements:

• Age: You must be at least 13 years old. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have parental or guardian consent.
• Device: You must own or lawfully control an iOS device capable of running the version of ChristBay you download.
• Apple ID: You must have a valid Apple ID to download the App and make in-app purchases.
• Legal capacity: You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract. Persons who have been previously suspended or removed from the Service by OakDev & AI AB are not eligible to use the Service.
• Compliance: You must not be located in a jurisdiction where the App or these Terms are prohibited by applicable law.

We reserve the right to refuse access to the Service to any person who does not meet these eligibility requirements, or to suspend or terminate access at any time where eligibility ceases to be met.

The App & Service

ChristBay is a personal devotional iOS application that provides the following core features:

• Daily Scripture: Curated daily scripture passages drawn from licensed Bible translations.
• Guided Reflections: Structured devotional sessions that consume Reflections from your balance. Each session is designed to guide sincere personal engagement with scripture and prayer.
• Prayer Journal: A private, locally stored journal where you can write personal prayer entries, spiritual notes, and reflections on your faith journey.
• Faith Journey Tracking: Tools to track devotional consistency, streaks, and personal milestones.
• Scripture Bookmarks: The ability to save and organise scripture passages for later reference.
• Blessed Features (upgrade required): Additional content categories, expanded reflection series, and enhanced features unlocked by the Blessed in-app purchase.

6.1 Nature of the Service

ChristBay is a tool to support personal Protestant Christian devotional practice. It is not:

• A substitute for participation in a local church community or corporate worship.
• A pastoral counselling or spiritual direction service.
• A theological education platform or seminary resource.
• A mental health or crisis intervention service. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact a qualified professional or emergency service immediately.
• An ecumenical or interfaith service — the App is designed specifically for Protestant Christian faith practice.

6.2 No Guarantee of Outcomes

OakDev & AI AB makes no representation or guarantee that use of ChristBay will produce any particular spiritual, emotional, psychological, or personal outcome. Faith is a deeply personal journey, and results from devotional practice are individual and varied.

6.3 Internet Connectivity

Certain features of ChristBay may require an active internet connection (e.g., downloading new content, verifying purchase entitlements). Core features including the prayer journal, previously downloaded content, and saved data function offline. We are not responsible for any inability to access features that require connectivity due to your internet service, device settings, or network availability.

6.4 iOS Platform Requirement

ChristBay is currently available exclusively on iOS devices via the Apple App Store. We do not guarantee availability on any specific iOS version or device model, and we may update the minimum supported iOS version at any time with reasonable notice. We are not obligated to support older iOS versions indefinitely.

Purchasing the App

ChristBay is a paid application. To use the Service, you must first purchase the App through the Apple App Store at the price listed at the time of purchase.

7.1 What Your Purchase Includes

Your one-time purchase of the ChristBay application includes:

• A personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use ChristBay on iOS devices associated with your Apple ID.
• 150 Reflections credited to your in-app balance upon first launch after purchase.
• Access to all base-tier features of the App, including daily scripture, the prayer journal, faith journey tracking, and scripture bookmarks.
• All future updates and bug fixes to the base App, where available for your iOS version.
• An entirely ad-free experience — no advertisements, ever.

7.2 Pricing

The price of ChristBay is set by OakDev & AI AB and displayed in the Apple App Store at the time of purchase. Prices are shown in your local currency as determined by your App Store region. We reserve the right to change the App's price at any time, but changes will not affect purchases already completed.

7.3 Family Sharing

ChristBay supports Apple's Family Sharing feature. Where enabled by the App Store account holder (the "organiser"), family members may be able to download and use ChristBay without a separate purchase, subject to Apple's Family Sharing terms. Each family member who uses the App under Family Sharing receives their own independent Reflection balance and journal — Reflections are not shared between family members.

7.4 Gift Cards and Promotions

The App may be purchased using Apple App Store gift cards or promotional credits in accordance with Apple's terms. OakDev & AI AB does not issue its own gift cards or promotional codes.

Reflections — In-App Currency

Reflections are the in-app unit used to access guided reflection sessions within ChristBay. Understanding how Reflections work is important before making any purchase.

8.1 How You Receive Reflections

• On App purchase: 150 Reflections are credited to your balance when you first launch ChristBay after purchasing the App.
• Blessed upgrade: Purchasing the Blessed in-app upgrade provides 300 additional Reflections in addition to unlocking features and categories.
• Top-Up Packs: You may purchase additional Reflections in packs of 100, 200, or 400 as described in Section 10.

8.2 How Reflections Are Consumed

Reflections are deducted from your balance when you begin a guided reflection session within the App. The number of Reflections consumed per session depends on the session type and length, which is displayed clearly before you begin. You will not be charged Reflections for reading daily scripture, using the prayer journal, browsing bookmarks, or accessing any session you have already completed.

8.3 Reflection Balance

Your Reflection balance is associated with your device and, if applicable, your App account. Your balance is stored locally on your device. We are not responsible for loss of Reflection balance due to device loss, theft, damage, or iOS reinstallation, except where balance restoration is possible through purchase verification.

8.4 Restoring Reflections

If you reinstall ChristBay or move to a new device, you may restore your original purchased Reflections (those included with the App purchase, the Blessed upgrade, and Top-Up Packs) by tapping "Restore Purchases" within the App. Restoration is processed through Apple's StoreKit. We cannot restore Reflections that were consumed through normal use of the App.

8.5 Expiry

Reflections do not expire while your App is installed and your account (if applicable) remains active. If you delete the App and do not restore purchases upon reinstallation, unconsumed Reflections from your local balance may be lost. We recommend using "Restore Purchases" after reinstalling. Reflections are not available after account deletion.

8.6 No Transfer or Sale

You may not sell, transfer, give, trade, or otherwise dispose of Reflections to any other user or person. Any attempt to do so is void and may result in suspension or termination of your access to the Service. We reserve the right to revoke Reflections obtained through unauthorised means.

Blessed Upgrade

The "Blessed" upgrade is an optional one-time in-app purchase that enhances your ChristBay experience with additional content, features, and Reflections.

9.1 What Blessed Includes

The Blessed upgrade provides, upon successful purchase and verification:

• 300 additional Reflections added to your balance.
• Unlocked content categories: Access to additional devotional categories and series not available in the base App.
• Expanded features: Access to additional App features reserved for Blessed users, as detailed within the App at the time of purchase.
• Priority support: Support requests from Blessed users are prioritised in our support queue.

9.2 One-Time Purchase

Blessed is a one-time purchase with no ongoing subscription or auto-renewal. You pay once and retain Blessed access permanently for as long as ChristBay is available and your licence is active. There are no hidden recurring charges.

9.3 Future Features

We may introduce additional features over time that are available exclusively to Blessed users. We may also introduce features that require a separate purchase even for Blessed users, where those features represent a significant new addition to the Service beyond the original scope of the Blessed upgrade. We will clearly communicate any such distinction within the App.

9.4 Restoration of Blessed

If you reinstall ChristBay or move to a new device, your Blessed entitlement can be restored by tapping "Restore Purchases" within the App. Restoration is processed through Apple's StoreKit receipt validation.

9.5 Blessed on Multiple Devices

Your Blessed entitlement is tied to your Apple ID. You may use Blessed on any iOS device signed in with the same Apple ID, subject to Apple's device limits for App Store purchases.

Top-Up Reflection Packs

If you exhaust your Reflection balance and wish to continue engaging with guided reflection sessions, you may optionally purchase Top-Up Reflection Packs.

10.1 Available Packs

Exact pricing for each pack is displayed within the App and is subject to change. Prices are shown in your local currency as determined by your App Store region.

10.2 No Subscription

Top-Up Packs are strictly one-time purchases. There is no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no recurring charge associated with any Top-Up Pack. You purchase a pack once and receive the stated number of Reflections immediately. You will never be charged again for a pack unless you independently choose to purchase another.

10.3 Delivery of Reflections

Reflections from a Top-Up Pack are added to your in-app balance immediately upon successful purchase verification by Apple. If Reflections are not credited within a reasonable time after purchase, please contact us at hello@oakdev.app and we will investigate.

10.4 Accumulation

There is no stated cap on your Reflection balance. You may hold Reflections from multiple Top-Up Packs simultaneously. Reflections from different packs and from your App purchase all accumulate in the same balance.

10.5 Restoration of Top-Up Packs

Unused Reflections from Top-Up Packs may be restorable via "Restore Purchases" in certain circumstances, subject to Apple's receipt validation. However, consumed Reflections from Top-Up Packs cannot be restored. We recommend backing up your device regularly to preserve your balance state.

Payments & Apple

All purchases related to ChristBay — including the App itself, the Blessed upgrade, and all Top-Up Reflection Packs — are processed exclusively through the Apple App Store using Apple's payment infrastructure.

11.1 Apple as Merchant of Record

Apple Inc. acts as the merchant of record for all ChristBay purchases. This means:

• Your payment is made to Apple, not directly to OakDev & AI AB.
• Apple collects your payment card details, billing information, and processes the transaction.
• OakDev & AI AB receives remittance from Apple after Apple's platform fee is deducted.
• Receipts and payment confirmations are issued by Apple, not by OakDev & AI AB.

11.2 Billing

Purchases are charged to the payment method associated with your Apple ID at the time of purchase. By initiating a purchase within ChristBay, you authorise Apple to charge your payment method for the displayed price. All charges are in the currency of your App Store region.

11.3 Taxes

The price displayed in the App Store may or may not include applicable taxes depending on your jurisdiction and Apple's tax collection practices. Any applicable taxes (including VAT/GST) are collected and remitted by Apple in accordance with applicable law. OakDev & AI AB does not collect taxes directly from users.

11.4 Failed Transactions

If a purchase fails due to payment method issues, insufficient funds, or other reasons, you will not receive the associated product (App, Blessed upgrade, or Top-Up Pack). Please resolve any payment issues with Apple or your financial institution and attempt the purchase again.

11.5 Apple's Terms Govern Payment

By making a purchase through ChristBay, you also agree to Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions and Apple's payment terms. In any dispute regarding a payment transaction, Apple's policies and records shall be authoritative as to the fact of the transaction.

No Refunds Policy

All purchases made through ChristBay are generally non-refundable, consistent with Apple's standard App Store policies for digital content and in-app purchases.

12.1 Apple's Refund Process

All refund requests for ChristBay and its in-app purchases must be submitted directly to Apple. OakDev & AI AB does not have the ability to process refunds directly. To request a refund from Apple:

1. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID.
2. Find the ChristBay purchase you wish to dispute.
3. Select "I'd like to request a refund" and follow the instructions.

Apple will evaluate your refund request in accordance with its own policies. OakDev & AI AB has limited ability to influence the outcome of Apple's refund decisions.

12.2 Exceptions and Mandatory Rights

Notwithstanding the general no-refunds policy, you may have mandatory cancellation and refund rights under applicable consumer protection law that cannot be excluded, including:

• Swedish consumer law: Under Swedish law (Konsumentköplag and Distansavtalslagen), you may have the right to withdraw from a purchase of digital content within 14 days of purchase, unless digital delivery has already begun with your consent and acknowledgement that you forfeit your right of withdrawal upon delivery.
• EU consumer rights: Where the EU Consumer Rights Directive applies, you have a 14-day cooling-off period for distance purchases unless you have expressly consented to immediate delivery and acknowledged forfeiture of the right of withdrawal.
• Other jurisdictions: Applicable local consumer protection laws may provide additional or different refund rights that we are required to honour.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

12.3 Chargebacks

If you initiate an unwarranted chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or card issuer in connection with a ChristBay purchase, we reserve the right to suspend your access to the Service pending resolution of the dispute. Fraudulent chargebacks may be referred to law enforcement. If you believe a charge is in error, please contact us at hello@oakdev.app before initiating a dispute with your bank.

Licence Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, OakDev & AI AB grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable personal licence to:

• Access and use any Blessed features you have unlocked through a valid purchase of the Blessed upgrade.
• Access and use guided reflection sessions in exchange for Reflections from your balance.

13.1 Scope of the Licence

This licence is personal — it is granted to you individually and may not be shared with or transferred to any other person. The licence is non-commercial — you may not use the Service or its Content for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent. The licence is revocable — we may terminate or suspend it if you breach these Terms.

13.2 No Ownership of App

Purchasing ChristBay or any in-app product does not transfer ownership of the App or any Content to you. You own the licence described in this Section, not the software itself. All title and ownership in ChristBay remains with OakDev & AI AB and its licensors.

13.3 Apple's Sublicence Terms

This licence is subject to and consistent with Apple's usage rules for App Store applications as set forth in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions. In any conflict between this licence and Apple's usage rules, Apple's usage rules shall govern with respect to use of the App on Apple platforms.

17.4 No Other Rights

Except for the limited personal licence expressly granted in Section 13, nothing in these Terms grants you any Intellectual Property Rights in or to the Service, the Content, or any other OakDev & AI AB property. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by OakDev & AI AB.

Scripture & Content Licences

The Bible translations and scripture passages included in ChristBay are used under licence from their respective copyright holders. These translations remain the intellectual property of those copyright holders and are provided within the App solely for your personal devotional use.

18.1 Permitted Scripture Use

You may:

• Read, meditate on, and memorise scripture passages displayed within the App for personal devotional purposes.
• Share brief scripture quotations (typically up to 500 verses or 25% of a Bible book, whichever is less) in a personal, non-commercial context, provided that you include the translation abbreviation (e.g., "NIV", "ESV") in any quotation.

You may not:

• Reproduce substantial portions of Bible translations for any purpose beyond personal use without a separate licence from the translation copyright holder.

Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Our collection, use, and protection of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and forms part of this agreement.

By using ChristBay, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy, and you consent to the processing of your personal data as described therein.

Key privacy commitments relevant to these Terms include:

• Your personal journal entries are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers without your explicit consent.
• We do not sell your personal data to any third party.
• We do not use your data for advertising purposes.
• You have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data in accordance with the GDPR.

If you have any questions about how we handle your data, please contact us at hello@oakdev.app or review our Privacy Policy.

Account Deletion

You may delete your account and request the removal of your personal data at any time. The process and consequences of account deletion are described in full in Section 17 of our Privacy Policy.

20.1 In-App Deletion

You can delete all locally stored App data (including journal entries, session history, and settings) from within the App at Settings → Privacy → Delete All Data. This action is immediate and irreversible.

20.2 Full Account Deletion

To request full deletion of any server-side account data associated with you, visit /delete-account/ or email hello@oakdev.app with the subject "Account Deletion Request".

20.3 Effect on Entitlements

Deleting your account will result in the permanent loss of your Reflection balance, Blessed upgrade entitlement (as verified by our server), and all personal data. Deleted Reflection balances and Blessed entitlements cannot be restored after account deletion, though Apple maintains its own record of purchases that may allow restoration via "Restore Purchases" on a reinstalled App.

20.4 Uninstalling the App

Uninstalling ChristBay from your device without submitting a deletion request does not constitute account deletion and does not trigger deletion of any server-side data. Your locally stored data (journal, settings) will be deleted from your device upon uninstallation, subject to any iCloud backup you have enabled.

Modifications to the Service

OakDev & AI AB reserves the right to modify, update, enhance, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time.

21.1 Updates and New Features

We may release updates to ChristBay that add, modify, or remove features. Updates may be required to continue using the App and will be distributed through the Apple App Store. We encourage you to keep the App updated to access the latest features and security improvements.

21.2 Changes to Reflection Costs

We may change the number of Reflections required to access specific reflection sessions in future updates. Any such changes will be clearly communicated within the App before they take effect. Changes to Reflection costs will not retroactively affect sessions already underway or Reflections already consumed.

21.3 Changes to Pricing

We may change the prices of the App, the Blessed upgrade, or Top-Up Packs at any time. Price changes do not affect purchases already completed. New prices will be displayed in the App Store before any purchase is initiated, ensuring you are always informed of the price before committing to a purchase.

21.4 Discontinuation of Features

We may discontinue specific features of the Service at any time with reasonable notice where practicable. If a feature that materially changes the value of an in-app purchase (such as the Blessed upgrade) is discontinued, we will make reasonable efforts to provide affected users with an appropriate remedy, which may include alternative features, additional Reflections, or another reasonable compensation at our discretion.

21.5 Discontinuation of the Service

In the event that we decide to permanently discontinue ChristBay entirely, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice through the App and our website. Upon discontinuation, your licence to use the App terminates. We are not obligated to continue operating the Service indefinitely, and we are not liable to you for any loss arising from a lawful discontinuation of the Service provided with appropriate notice.

Availability & Downtime

We strive to make ChristBay available to you reliably and consistently. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the Service.

22.1 Scheduled Maintenance

We may take the Service (or server-side components of it) offline for scheduled maintenance. Where practicable, we will provide advance notice of significant scheduled maintenance. Core offline features (journal, previously downloaded content) remain available during any server maintenance period.

22.2 Unplanned Outages

Server-side components of the Service (such as purchase verification and, in the future, optional cloud sync) may experience unplanned outages due to technical failures, third-party service issues, or causes beyond our reasonable control. We are not liable for any loss or inconvenience resulting from unplanned outages.

22.3 Force Majeure

We are not responsible for any failure to perform or delay in performance of our obligations under these Terms caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God; natural disasters; fire; flood; epidemic or pandemic; acts of government or regulatory authority; war; civil unrest; strikes; third-party service failures (including Apple's App Store or infrastructure); or widespread internet outages.

22.4 Apple App Store Dependency

The availability of ChristBay is contingent on Apple maintaining the App in the App Store and on Apple's App Store infrastructure remaining operational. OakDev & AI AB is not responsible for any removal of the App from the App Store by Apple, any App Store outages, or any changes to Apple's policies that affect the availability or functionality of the App.

Third-Party Services

ChristBay integrates with or depends upon certain third-party services, primarily Apple's platform services (App Store, StoreKit, APNs, and optionally Sign in with Apple). Your use of these third-party services is subject to those parties' own terms and conditions.

23.1 Apple

Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions govern your use of the App Store and any purchases made through it. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and has the right to enforce them against you. OakDev & AI AB is not responsible for Apple's acts or omissions, including any decision by Apple to remove the App from the App Store, restrict access, or change its policies.

23.2 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except for Apple (as described above), these Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.

23.3 Links to Third-Party Sites

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We provide these links for convenience only and do not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or availability of any linked third-party site or resource. You access linked third-party sites at your own risk and subject to their own terms.

Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ChristBay and the Service are provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranty of any kind, express or implied.

24.1 No Warranties

OakDev & AI AB expressly disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to:

• Merchantability: We make no warranty that the Service is of satisfactory quality or fit for a particular purpose.
• Fitness for purpose: We make no warranty that ChristBay will meet your specific spiritual, devotional, or personal requirements.
• Accuracy: While we strive for accuracy in all devotional content, scripture presentation, and App functionality, we do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, accurate, or complete at all times.
• Uninterrupted access: We do not warrant that the Service will be available, uninterrupted, secure, or free of technical faults at all times.

29.4 Version History

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a competent court or authority to be invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if such modification is not possible, it shall be severed from these Terms.
