Terms of Use

Effective date: July 17, 2026

These Terms and Conditions apply to the Iron & Light app for mobile devices, together with any related services operated by Iron & Light (collectively, the "Application"). Iron & Light is hereby referred to as the "Service Provider".

By downloading or using the Application, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully before using the Application.

The Service

Iron & Light is a personal spiritual growth and self-improvement application for men. It provides daily missions and prayers, habit tracking, a streak and rank system, a journal, a Bible reader, and an AI-powered "Spiritual Mentor" chat feature. Some features are available free of charge; others require a paid subscription, as described below.

The Application is a personal devotional tool. It is not a church, a counseling service, a medical or mental health service, or a substitute for any of them.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Application. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the Application with the review and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

The Application is not intended for, and may not be used by, anyone under 13 years of age.

By accessing and using the Application, you represent that you are legally permitted to use it in your jurisdiction and that the information you provide is accurate.

License to Use the Application

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Service Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Application on a mobile device you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Application, except to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law. Any attempt to extract the source code of the Application, translate it into other languages, or create derivative versions is not permitted.

Intellectual Property

The Service Provider retains all intellectual property rights in the Application, including its code, design, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, branding, and original written content such as the daily missions and prayers (the "IP"). Nothing in these Terms grants you any license or right to use the Service Provider's trademarks, logos, or branding for any purpose. You agree not to remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices displayed in or on the Application.

Scripture. Bible text in the Application is drawn from translations in the public domain, including the King James Version (KJV) and the American Standard Version (ASV). No claim of copyright is made to the biblical text itself.

Subscriptions, Billing, and Cancellation

Some features of the Application require a paid subscription ("Premium"). Free features are available without payment and are described in the Application.

Pricing and billing period. Premium is offered as a monthly subscription at $9.99 USD per month, or an annual subscription at $79.99 USD per year. Prices are shown in the Application before purchase and may vary by country and currency. Prices may change; any change will be communicated to you in advance and will not affect your current billing period.

Free trial. New subscribers may be offered a free trial. The trial length is stated in the Application at the point of purchase. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription and you will be charged the applicable price.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Google Play account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.

Payment processing. All purchases are processed by Google Play. The Service Provider does not receive, process, or store your payment card details. Your purchase is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.

How to cancel. You can cancel your subscription at any time through your Google Play account settings (Google Play → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions), or by following the link provided in the Application. Cancelling stops future renewals. Deleting the Application does not cancel your subscription.

What happens when you cancel. You will retain Premium access for the remainder of the period you have already paid for. After that, your account reverts to the free tier. Your data is not deleted when a subscription ends.

Refunds. Refunds for purchases made through Google Play are handled by Google in accordance with the Google Play refund policy. The Service Provider does not process payments and therefore cannot issue refunds directly, but will assist where it is able to. This does not affect any statutory refund or cancellation rights you may have under applicable consumer protection law, which are not excluded by these Terms.

Changes to Premium features. The Service Provider may add, modify, or remove features over time. If a material feature is removed from the Premium tier during a period you have paid for, you may be entitled to a remedy under applicable consumer protection law.

The Spiritual Mentor and Artificial Intelligence

The Application includes an AI-powered feature called the Spiritual Mentor. Please read this section carefully.

How it works. When you send a message to the Spiritual Mentor, the content of that message and recent conversation history is transmitted to Anthropic, PBC, which processes it and returns a generated response. Responses are produced by an automated system, not by a human being, a pastor, or any member of clergy.

Responses may be wrong. AI-generated responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, theologically mistaken, or inappropriate for your situation, even when they appear confident and authoritative. The Service Provider does not review responses before you receive them and does not warrant their accuracy, completeness, or suitability. You are responsible for evaluating any response before acting on it, and you should test what you read against Scripture and the counsel of qualified people who know you.

Not professional advice. The Spiritual Mentor does not provide, and must not be relied upon as, pastoral counseling, mental health treatment, medical advice, legal advice, financial advice, or professional advice of any kind. It is not a substitute for a pastor, counselor, therapist, physician, or other qualified professional, and no confidential, privileged, or clergy-penitent relationship is created by using it.

Not for emergencies or crises. The Spiritual Mentor is not an emergency service and must not be used in a crisis. If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, if you are thinking about harming yourself or another person, or if you are in immediate danger, stop using the Application and contact your local emergency number (911 in Canada and the United States) or a crisis line immediately. In Canada and the United States, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline can be reached by calling or texting 988. If you are elsewhere, contact your local emergency services or crisis line.

Reporting. If you receive a response you believe is harmful, offensive, or inappropriate, please report it by long-pressing the message in the Application, or by emailing support@ironandlightapp.com. The Service Provider reviews reports and uses them to improve the feature.

Your input. Do not send information to the Spiritual Mentor that you would not want transmitted to and processed by a third-party AI provider. Handling of this data is described in the Privacy Policy.

Your Content

The Application allows you to create content, including journal entries, weekly reviews, habit names, and messages to the Spiritual Mentor ("Your Content").

Your Content is private. The Application does not include social, sharing, or community features. Your Content is not visible to other users and is not published or made public by the Service Provider.

Ownership. You retain all ownership of Your Content. You grant the Service Provider only the limited licence necessary to store, process, transmit, and display Your Content back to you in order to operate the Application and provide the features you use — including transmitting Spiritual Mentor messages to the AI provider described above. This licence exists solely to operate the Application for you, and ends when you delete the relevant content or your account. The Service Provider does not claim the right to publish, distribute, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works from Your Content, and will not use Your Content to advertise or promote the Application.

Your responsibility. You represent that you own or control the rights to Your Content and that it does not violate applicable law or the rights of others. Please do not include other people's personal information in Your Content without their consent.

Acceptable use. You agree not to use the Application to create, transmit, or store content that:

• is illegal or infringes third-party intellectual property rights;
• is abusive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or constitutes hate speech;
• incites violence, discrimination, or illegal activity;
• is spam, phishing, or contains malware;
• violates the privacy or data rights of others; or
• attempts to manipulate, jailbreak, or misuse the Spiritual Mentor to produce harmful or prohibited content.

Enforcement. The Service Provider may remove or restrict access to content that violates these Terms, suspend or terminate accounts of users who violate them, and cooperate with law enforcement where illegal content or activity is reported. If you believe content or conduct violates these Terms, report it to support@ironandlightapp.com with enough information to identify the issue.

If your account or content is restricted, you may contact support@ironandlightapp.com to request review. The Service Provider will respond within a reasonable period and, where required by applicable law, provide reasons for the decision.

Your Account and Device

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify the Service Provider promptly at support@ironandlightapp.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

It is your responsibility to maintain the security of your device and your access to the Application. The Service Provider strongly advises against jailbreaking or rooting your device. Such actions may expose your device to malware and compromise its security features, and may result in the Application not functioning correctly or at all.

Data and Connectivity

Some functions of the Application require an active internet connection, provided by Wi-Fi or your mobile network. The Service Provider cannot be held responsible if the Application does not function at full capacity due to lack of connectivity or exhausted data allowance.

If you use the Application outside a Wi-Fi area, your mobile network provider's agreement terms still apply, and you may incur data charges, including roaming charges if you use the Application outside your home territory without disabling data roaming. You accept responsibility for such charges. If you are not the bill payer for the device, the Service Provider assumes you have the bill payer's permission.

Similarly, the Service Provider cannot assume responsibility for matters within your control — for example, ensuring your device remains charged.

Third-Party Services

The Application uses third-party services that have their own terms and privacy policies:

Your use of the Application is also subject to the applicable terms of these providers.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Application is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

The Service Provider does not warrant that the Application will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, that defects will be corrected, or that content within the Application — including AI-generated content — will be accurate, complete, or suitable for your circumstances.

Nothing in this section limits any rights you have under applicable consumer protection laws that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service Provider shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, data loss, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of the Service Provider for any claim shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the Application in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) the minimum amount that must be paid under applicable law.

The Service Provider accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, arising from your reliance on AI-generated content or on third-party information provided through the Application, or for inaccuracies in content provided by third parties.

However, the Service Provider retains full liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by its negligence;
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and
• any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under applicable consumer protection laws that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or directly related to your breach of these Terms or your intentional misuse of the Application, including content you submit in violation of these Terms.

This indemnification does not apply to claims arising from the Service Provider's own negligence, breach of these Terms, or violation of applicable law. In jurisdictions where consumer indemnification is restricted by law, this clause is limited to the maximum extent permitted.

Updates and Availability

The Service Provider may update the Application from time to time. Operating system requirements may change, and you may need to download updates to continue using the Application. The Service Provider does not guarantee that it will always update the Application, or that it will remain compatible with the version of the operating system installed on your device. You should accept updates when offered; if you choose not to, the Service Provider may cease supporting earlier versions and the Application may not function properly.

The Service Provider may cease providing the Application. If the Application is discontinued while you hold a paid subscription, the Service Provider will provide reasonable advance notice and will not charge you for periods after discontinuation. Upon discontinuation or termination, the rights and licences granted to you under these Terms will end and you must stop using the Application and delete it from your devices.

Termination

The Service Provider may suspend your access to the Application if you materially breach these Terms. Where the breach is capable of cure, the Service Provider will provide written notice and you will have 14 days from receipt to remedy it. If you fail to cure the breach within that period, the Service Provider may terminate your access.

The Service Provider may suspend or terminate your access immediately and without notice if you violate applicable law, infringe intellectual property rights, or engage in activity that could cause harm to other users or the Service Provider.

You may stop using the Application at any time and may delete your account and all associated data from within the Application (Profile → Delete Account), as described in the Privacy Policy.

Upon termination, your right to use the Application will end and you must delete all copies from your devices.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, excluding conflict of law rules, except to the extent that mandatory consumer protection laws in your place of residence provide otherwise.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms will be brought before the courts of the Province of Alberta, Canada. Nothing in this clause limits any right you may have to bring a claim in a court that is competent under mandatory law in your place of residence.

European Union Users

The Application does not include social, community, or public dissemination features, and the Service Provider operates as a micro-enterprise. To the extent that the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) applies to the Application, the following apply:

Point of contact. The Service Provider may be contacted at support@ironandlightapp.com for communications from users and, where applicable, from authorities.

Notices and complaints. Users and third parties may submit notices regarding allegedly illegal content, or complaints about moderation decisions, to support@ironandlightapp.com. Notices will be acknowledged electronically and handled promptly and diligently, with human review where the circumstances require it.

Statement of reasons. Where the Service Provider restricts access to content or suspends or terminates an account, the affected user will be given a statement of the nature of and basis for the decision, and information about how to seek review, to the extent required by applicable law.

Nothing in this section replaces or limits any rights or obligations under applicable consumer protection or data protection law.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Service Provider concerning your use of the Application, superseding any prior agreements or understandings.

Changes to These Terms

The Service Provider may periodically update these Terms. You are advised to review this page regularly. The Service Provider will notify you of changes by posting the updated Terms with a new effective date. Where a change is material and required by law, the Service Provider will seek your agreement before it takes effect.

Previous versions of these Terms will be maintained and made available upon request by contacting support@ironandlightapp.com.
