The agreement, in plain words
Using this app means accepting what is below. We have kept it short and readable on purpose.
Read this part first. Aleph Branch offers biblical encouragement and reflection. It is not counseling, therapy, medical advice, or crisis care, and it does not create a pastoral or professional relationship between you and anyone here. If you are in danger or thinking about suicide, contact emergency services or, in the US, call or text 988 — any hour.
What you get
- Free, no subscription: the first seven readings and the whole counseling library. These stay free.
- With a subscription: a twelve-month plan of 360 readings, released in four seasons of ninety days each.
Subscription and billing
| Price | $4.99 every three months, or $17.99 paid yearly |
|---|---|
| Billed by | Gumroad, who are the seller of record |
| Renewal | Automatic until you cancel |
| Release | One ninety-day season per quarter, in order |
| Devices | Up to five per licence key |
Seasons unlock as your subscription reaches them; the whole year is not delivered at once. Your licence key arrives by email from Gumroad after your first payment — enter it in the app under Settings.
Cancelling
Cancel any time through Gumroad. Two things happen and neither is a penalty: you keep every reading already released to you, and no further seasons open. Everything you have written stays on your device regardless, subscription or not.
Refunds
Refunds are handled by Gumroad under their policy. Beyond that, if you are unhappy or the app has not worked for you, write to us — we would rather sort it out than keep money from someone who feels short-changed.
Using the readings
The readings are written for you and for your own use. Please read them, journal on them, quote them to a friend, and use them in your own devotional life freely. Please do not republish the collection, resell it, or feed it to another service as content. Scripture quotations are from the King James Version, which is in the public domain; the reflections, questions and practices are the ministry's own work.
Interruptions and changes
This is a small ministry project, not an enterprise service. We aim to keep the app available and the seasons on schedule, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. If something goes materially wrong with a subscription — a season badly delayed, for instance — write to us and we will make it right.
We may change these terms. If a change affects what you have paid for, we will say so plainly and change the date above.
Liability
The app is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, Aleph Branch Ministry is not liable for losses arising from your use of it, and any liability is limited to what you have paid in the previous twelve months. Nothing here removes rights you have under consumer law where you live.
