These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our audiobook service, including our website, API, and mobile applications that connect to it (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account, making a purchase or subscription, downloading or using our apps, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”). If you do not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, do not use the Service.

The Service is provided by the legal entity named above (“we,” “us,” or “our”). If you obtained the iOS or Android app from Apple or Google, additional terms in section 16 apply and control over any conflicting usage rules for those store-distributed apps.

1. Eligibility and accounts

1.1 Eligibility. You must be old enough to enter a binding contract where you live (and at least 13 years of age, or the higher minimum age required in your jurisdiction). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

1.2 Account security. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your credentials confidential. Notify us promptly at the contact above if you suspect unauthorized access.

1.3 Accuracy. You agree to provide accurate account information and to keep it updated where the Service allows.

1.4 Export compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a region that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” region; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

2. Definitions

2.1 “Content” means audiobooks, audio files, text, images, metadata, software in our apps, and other materials we or our licensors make available through the Service, including any updates.

2.2 “Licensed Content” means Content you are permitted to access under these Terms (for example, because you purchased it, subscribed, or we granted access).

2.3 “Household” means you (the account holder) and your immediate family members who ordinarily reside with you in the same single physical building or dwelling (the same residential address). Immediate family means your spouse or domestic partner, children, parents, and siblings who meet that residence requirement.

2.4 “Audience use” means playing Licensed Content in any setting where it is intended to be heard by people outside your Household, or where it reasonably can be heard by the general public or a group assembled for a gathering, class, meeting, worship service, performance, or similar purpose, other than incidental private listening within your Household.

2.5 “Store-billed purchase” means a purchase or auto-renewable subscription paid through the Apple App Store (In-App Purchase) or Google Play (Play Billing).

3. License to use the Service and Licensed Content

3.1 Service. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with the technical features we make available.

3.2 Licensed Content. When you lawfully obtain access to Licensed Content (for example, by purchase or subscription through our authorized checkout or another method we support), we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and listen to that Licensed Content only:

  • for personal, non-commercial use;
  • only by members of your Household as defined in section 2.3, except as Apple or Google require for Store-billed purchases (including Apple Family Sharing, volume purchasing, and Legacy Contacts, and equivalent Google family or account features where they apply); and
  • only through the Service and authorized clients we provide or expressly permit (for example, our website and official apps), and only while your entitlement remains valid.

3.3 No sale of intellectual property. Purchases and subscriptions grant access and listening rights as described here. They do not sell or assign copyrights or other intellectual property rights in the Content to you.

3.4 Changes. We may change or discontinue features of the Service where permitted by law and any contract that applies to your purchase (for example, app store rules or regional consumer laws). We may also remove or replace particular Licensed Content when we have legal or commercial reasons to do so, subject to applicable law and your statutory rights.

4. Household use and account sharing

4.1 Household-only use. Except as section 4.3 provides, accounts are for use by the account holder and members of the Household as defined in section 2.3. Everyone who listens under your credentials should live in the same physical building as part of that Household.

4.2 No sharing outside the Household. You may not share your account credentials, tokens, or access to Licensed Content with anyone outside your Household, including friends, extended family who do not reside with you, roommates who are not part of your defined Household, coworkers, or the general public.

4.3 Platform sharing that Apple or Google require. Section 4 does not restrict sharing or access that Apple or Google expressly permit for Store-billed purchases, including Apple Family Sharing, volume purchasing, and Legacy Contacts, and equivalent Google Play family or account features. Those platform rules control for the store-billed entitlement. You still may not share your login credentials with people who are not in your Household.

4.4 Reasonable use. We may apply technical or policy limits (such as device limits, session limits, or anti-abuse measures) to keep use consistent with personal Household listening. What is “reasonable” may evolve as we ship product changes; we will document material limits in the Service where practical.

5. Prohibited uses: audiences, public performance, and redistribution

5.1 No audience or public-style playback without permission. Unless we give prior written permission, you may not use Licensed Content in connection with Audience use as defined in section 2.4. This includes, for example, playing recordings in classrooms, conferences, community events, religious services, camps, theaters, retail spaces, clubs, gyms, or over speakers in spaces open to people outside your Household.

5.2 No redistribution. Unless we give prior written permission, you may not, and you may not enable others to:

  • sell, rent, loan, sublicense, or transfer access to Licensed Content or your account;
  • copy, reproduce, upload, publish, broadcast, publicly perform, or communicate to the public Licensed Content (except as temporary copies automatically made by your device as part of normal authorized streaming/listening, if applicable);
  • share files, links, capture streams, or circumvention instructions that make Licensed Content available to others;
  • use Licensed Content to train machine learning or generative models, or to build a competing library or dataset; or
  • remove, alter, or obscure proprietary notices, Digital Rights Management (DRM), or other technical protections we or our licensors apply.

5.3 No unlawful or harmful use. You may not use the Service to violate law, infringe others’ rights, harass anyone, distribute malware, probe or attack our systems, scrape at a scale that harms the Service, or interfere with other users’ access.

6. Purchases, taxes, and third-party platforms

6.1 Prices and taxes. Prices are as shown at checkout or in the relevant app store at the time you confirm the purchase or subscribe. You are responsible for applicable taxes unless the law requires otherwise and checkout handles them differently. App Store and Google Play prices may include taxes collected by Apple or Google.

6.2 Where you pay.

  • iOS app: Digital books and auto-renewable subscriptions are billed through Apple In-App Purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Apple’s terms, including the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and Apple’s refund rules, also apply.
  • Android app: Digital books and auto-renewable subscriptions are billed through Google Play Billing. Payment is charged to your Google Play account. Google Play’s terms and refund rules also apply.
  • Website: Paid checkout may be processed by Stripe and/or our Gospel Publishers store (WooCommerce), depending on how billing is configured. Those processors’ terms also apply.

6.3 Refunds. Refunds for Store-billed purchases are handled by Apple or Google, not by us, except where the law requires us to assist. Request an Apple refund through reportaproblem.apple.com or your Apple ID purchase history. Request a Google Play refund through Google Play → Payments & subscriptions or Google’s refund process. Website purchases follow the refund practices of Stripe or the Gospel Publishers store, and applicable consumer law.

6.4 Entitlements. Access to Licensed Content depends on successful payment (where required) and accurate linking of the purchase to your account.

7. Auto-renewable subscriptions

This section applies to auto-renewable subscriptions offered through the Service (periodical or membership access to Licensed Content). A subscription is not required to install or open the app; it is required only for the subscribed catalog (for example, a periodical series) as shown on the subscribe screen.

7.1 What you get. The subscribe screen and the App Store / Google Play product page show the title of the subscription, what it includes, the length of each billing period, and the price (and price per unit if Apple or Google display one). That on-screen information at the time you confirm is part of your purchase.

7.2 Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period (Apple) or before renewal according to Google Play’s then-current rules. Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period on Apple, and according to Google Play’s billing timing on Android.

7.3 How to manage or cancel.

  • Apple: Open the iOS app → Settings → Manage Subscription, or use Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your device. You can also manage subscriptions at apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions.
  • Google Play: Open the Android app → Settings → Manage Subscription, or use Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
  • Website / WooCommerce: Cancel at the Gospel Publishers store. Deleting your audiobook account does not cancel store billing. See our Delete account page for the store subscriptions link when it applies.

Canceling stops future renewals. You typically keep access until the end of the period you already paid for, unless Apple, Google, or applicable law provides a different result (for example a prorated refund in some countries).

7.4 Free trials. If we offer a free trial, the trial length and the paid price after the trial are shown before you subscribe. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends (Apple) or according to Google Play’s rules, the trial converts to a paid auto-renewing subscription and you will be charged.

7.5 Price changes. We may change subscription prices. For Google Play subscriptions we will give at least 30 days’ advance notice before an increase takes effect, including the subscription name, current price, new price, the date the new price takes effect, and how to cancel. If you do not want the new price, cancel before the increase takes effect and you will not be charged the new price. For Apple subscriptions, price changes follow Apple’s then-current rules, which in some regions require your consent or else auto-renewal is disabled.

7.6 Account deletion does not cancel billing. Deleting your Gospel Publishers Audio account does not cancel an Apple, Google Play, or WooCommerce subscription. Cancel in the store first (or after) as described in section 7.3, or you may continue to be charged.

8. Intellectual property

8.1 Our rights. The Service and Content are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited licenses in section 3, we and our licensors retain all rights in the Service and Content.

8.2 Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to use that feedback to operate and improve the Service without obligation to you, to the extent permitted by law.

8.3 Third-party IP claims (store apps). If a third party claims that the mobile application or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, we, not Apple and not Google, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim, to the extent required by Apple’s and Google’s developer agreements.

9. Termination and suspension

9.1 By you. You may stop using the Service at any time. You may delete your account in the mobile app (Settings → Danger Zone → Delete Account), on the website (Account → Delete my account), or as described on our Delete account page. Deletion removes your access to Licensed Content tied to that account and anonymizes your personal information in our active systems.

Subscriptions billed through Apple, Google Play, or WooCommerce are not cancelled automatically when you delete your audiobook account. Cancel recurring billing separately as described in section 7.3.

9.2 By us. We may suspend or terminate access to the Service or specific Licensed Content if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, pose a security risk, or must do so to comply with law or protect other users or rights holders.

9.3 Effect. Upon termination, your license to use Licensed Content ends (except copies you are allowed to retain purely as required by mandatory law). Sections that by their nature should survive (for example, intellectual property, limitations of liability to the extent enforceable, disputes, and section 16) survive termination.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES SUCH AS MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers; those disclaimers apply only to the extent permitted.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

  • We will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, revenues, goodwill, or data, arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service; and
  • Our aggregate liability for claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to us for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to liability, or (b) fifty U.S. dollars (USD $50).

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (for example, liability for gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or personal injury caused by our negligence in some jurisdictions). Consumer laws in your country may give you rights that cannot be waived by contract. These Terms do not limit our liability to you beyond what applicable law permits.

12. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend and indemnify us and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents against third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of others’ rights—including unauthorized public playback, redistribution, or account sharing prohibited here. This indemnity does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by our own negligence, willful misconduct, or a defect we are responsible for, or where consumer law prohibits it.

13. Disputes

We prefer to resolve disagreements peacefully and informally. If you have a concern about the Service or these Terms, please contact us using the information in section 18 (or our Contact page) so we can try to work it out.

These Terms do not require arbitration, do not choose a court venue, and do not waive a jury trial. We do not, as a matter of conscience and practice, seek to compel users into litigation over these Terms. Nothing here limits mandatory consumer protections or other rights that the law of your place of residence gives you and that cannot be waived by contract. Apple’s and Google’s refund and subscription processes (section 6.3 and section 7) remain available for Store-billed purchases.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms with a new “Last updated” date and, where required by law or platform rules, provide additional notice. If you continue to use the Service after changes become effective, you accept the revised Terms (except where your local law requires explicit consent for specific changes). Material changes to subscription price are also governed by section 7.5.

15. Third-party terms

When you use the Service, you must also comply with applicable third-party terms, including your wireless or data service agreement (streaming and downloads use network data), and Apple’s or Google’s terms for Store-billed purchases.

16. Mobile applications — Apple App Store and Google Play

This section applies if you download or use Gospel Publishers Audio from the Apple App Store or Google Play. If it conflicts with another part of these Terms for those apps, this section controls.

16.1 Agreement is with us, not Apple or Google

These Terms are concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple Inc. or its subsidiaries (“Apple”) and not with Google LLC or its affiliates (“Google”). We, not Apple and not Google, are solely responsible for the mobile applications and their content. Apple and Google have no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the apps. We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support we offer, or that applicable law requires.

Questions, complaints, or claims about the apps should be directed to us using the legal entity, mailing address, telephone number, and email in the header of these Terms (or the Contact page on the Service).

16.2 License scope on Apple-branded devices

The license to the iOS app is a non-transferable license to use the app on Apple-branded products you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. The app may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser via Family Sharing, volume purchasing, or Legacy Contacts, as Apple permits.

16.3 Warranty; Apple refund of the app purchase price

We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the Licensed Application fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the application to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Licensed Application, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are our sole responsibility.

(If the app was obtained at no charge, there may be no application purchase price to refund. This does not affect statutory rights or refunds for In-App Purchases, which Apple handles under its own refund rules as described in section 6.3.)

16.4 Product claims

We, not Apple and not Google, are responsible for addressing claims by you or any third party relating to the apps or your possession and/or use of them, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that an app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation. These Terms do not limit our liability to you beyond what applicable law permits.

16.5 Apple as third-party beneficiary

You and we acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

17. General

17.1 Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy (and any purchase receipts or Apple, Google, Stripe, or store terms that apply) constitute the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.

17.2 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

17.3 No waiver; severability. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

17.4 Written permission. Any requirement for “prior written permission” in these Terms may be satisfied by an email or signed digital communication from an authorized representative of our company naming you and the permitted use, unless we specify another process.
