    3. Use of Content

    Scripture Text: Scripture quotations from World English Bible (public domain). Quotations marked KJV are from the King James Version (Public Domain).

    Original Content: The site design, written introductions, contextual summaries, study tools, branding, layout, and other original material on Bible & Context are protected by copyright and other applicable intellectual property laws.

    You may reference or quote limited portions of original content for personal study, classroom use, church use, or teaching with clear attribution. You may not republish, reproduce, resell, or distribute substantial portions of the site's original content without permission.

    4. AI-Assisted Content

    Some materials on Bible & Context, including parts of the Context Lens, may be created with the assistance of AI-based drafting or research tools.

    These materials are reviewed, edited, and refined before publication. However, AI-assisted content may still contain limitations or errors, and users should engage the material thoughtfully and responsibly.

    5. Educational and Ministry Disclaimer

    Bible & Context is provided for educational, informational, and Bible study purposes. The content is intended to help readers engage Scripture more clearly and in context, but it is not a substitute for pastoral counsel, church community, formal theological training, legal advice, or professional advice of any kind.

    While we strive for clarity and accuracy, we make no guarantees that all information on the site will always be complete, current, or error-free. We aim to help you understand Scripture clearly and in its original context. While we strive to be accurate and thoughtful, Bible & Context is meant to support your study—not replace pastors, teachers, or spiritual guidance.

    6. No Warranties

    The site and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy.

    7. External Links

    Bible & Context may contain links to third-party websites, resources, or services. We are not responsible for the content, availability, policies, or practices of third-party sites.

    8. Donations

    Donations made to support the project are voluntary gifts used to help fund hosting, development, research, writing, and related project costs.

    Unless otherwise required by law, donations are generally non-refundable. Donations to Bible & Context are not tax-deductible unless explicitly stated otherwise.

    9. Limitation of Liability

    To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bible & Context and its owner, contributors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, goodwill, profits, or use arising out of or related to your use of the site.

    If liability is found despite the foregoing, our total liability to you for any claim relating to the site will be limited to the amount you paid us, if any, for the specific service or feature giving rise to the claim.

    10. Suspension or Termination

    We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the site or specific features if we believe a user has violated these Terms, misused the platform, or created risk or harm to the project or its users.

    11. Changes to These Terms

    We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be revised. Continued use of the site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
