Terms of Service

iBibleSchool.org helps you check and grow your knowledge of the Bible with multiple-choice questions, learning reports and short lessons. Questions, reports and lessons are created by artificial intelligence for your level. Our theological orientation is evangelical/free church. Regardless of any optional church-tradition filter you choose, we teach that leadership offices and spiritual authority over men in the church are reserved for men and that marriage is the covenant between one man and one woman. We test and advance knowledge and wisdom – never your faith or spiritual maturity.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract. One account per person; keep your password confidential.

Currently only for residents of the United States. What counts is where you actually live, not your citizenship: a German citizen living in Florida may use the service, a US citizen living in Germany may not. Our legal terms, consumer information and privacy disclosures are prepared for residents of the USA. When you sign up you state your country of residence and confirm that you currently live there; please do so truthfully. As a plausibility check we compare it with the country your internet connection comes from (if they differ, for example while traveling or using a VPN, you confirm your residence again) and Stripe asks for your billing address when you pay. People who live in other countries cannot create an account or buy. In individual cases we may personally admit a person who lives elsewhere; these Terms then apply to them accordingly, and the mandatory laws of their country of residence remain unaffected. If you move to another country, please tell us; we may then have to close your account and will refund unused credit.

The provisions in these Terms for residents of Germany apply only to contracts concluded with residents of Germany before 14 November 2026; iBibleSchool.org is not offered to residents of Germany at present.

Content is for education only. It is not pastoral counseling, theological authority, or medical, legal, psychological or financial advice. Where Christians interpret Scripture differently, we try to say so; please also consult your church and the Bible itself.

Questions, reports and lessons are generated by AI and are not reviewed by a person before you see them. They may contain errors or omissions. Bible references in reports are limited to those in your questions, but please read every passage yourself.

Starter pack: a one-time payment that gives you permanent access and includes AI credit. Before your first top-up, the starter pack always covers 2 lessons (a quiz with an AI report and lessons), even if its credit runs out sooner. Top-up: additional AI credit. The checkout page shows the final price including any applicable taxes before you pay. There is no subscription and no automatic renewal.

Credit pays for the AI work (questions, reports, lessons); the app shows how much each step costs and your remaining balance. Validity of credit: if you live in the United States, your credit never expires. For a person we have personally admitted who lives elsewhere, credit is valid for as long as the law of that country requires, but at least 3 months from purchase (Germany: until 31 December of the third year after purchase); the app then shows the expiry date, and unused credit expires at the end of that period. Credit bought before 14 November 2026 never expires. Quizzes themselves are free. People who mark themselves as interested in the faith or without prior knowledge may take the first lessons of the course “The Gospel” free of charge as a special offer; it can be ended at any time for the future. After these free lessons, a credit top-up is required to continue; the starter pack's guaranteed lessons do not apply to them.

Payments are processed by Stripe on Stripe’s own payment page. If you live in the United States, your purchase contract is with us, prices are in US dollars and we charge no sales tax; Stripe only processes the payment. If you live in Germany, your purchase contract is with us, prices are in euros and include 19 % German VAT (e.g. starter pack €7.00 incl. €1.12 VAT); Stripe only processes the payment and the receipt shows the VAT. If you buy from any other country, Stripe acts as the seller (merchant of record) through its Managed Payments service: Stripe sells you the credit, issues the invoice and handles VAT; the checkout page names the seller before you pay. In all cases we provide the app and its content. Your card details go directly to Stripe.

Anyone living in the United States can buy a gift voucher without an account. A voucher contains the starter pack and/or 1–10 top-ups at the regular prices. It is not tied to a person: whoever enters the code first with their own account (residence in the USA) receives the credit, exactly as if they had bought these items themselves. Keep the code safe – we cannot replace a code that someone else has already redeemed.

A voucher can be redeemed once and has no expiry date; the credit from a redeemed voucher does not expire either. Vouchers bought earlier with a date printed on them remain valid at least until that date. It cannot be paid out in cash. As the country of the person who will redeem it is not known at purchase, the voucher is a multi-purpose voucher: no VAT is shown at purchase; VAT, where it applies, arises on redemption.

Buyers living in Germany who bought a voucher before 14 November 2026 may withdraw from the voucher purchase within 14 days (see below) as long as the voucher has not been redeemed; we then refund the full price. The waiver of the withdrawal right for immediate delivery does not apply to vouchers.

If you are a consumer living in Germany who concluded a contract with us before 14 November 2026, you have the following right of withdrawal. The binding German version of this notice was provided to you at the time of contract.

Right of withdrawal. You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day the contract is concluded. To exercise it, inform us (Peter Leicht, Spitzwegstr. 12, 84453 Mühldorf, Germany, [email address will be added soon]) by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or an email). You may use the model withdrawal form below, but it is not obligatory. It is sufficient to send your notice before the withdrawal period expires.

Effects of withdrawal. If you withdraw, we will reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the day we receive your notice, using the same means of payment you used, unless expressly agreed otherwise; you will not be charged any fees for this reimbursement.

Early expiry. Your right of withdrawal expires early once we have started to provide your credit, if you expressly agreed before checkout that we start before the end of the withdrawal period, you confirmed that you know you lose your right of withdrawal by doing so, and we gave you a confirmation of the contract (the Stripe receipt). At checkout the app asks for this agreement.

Model withdrawal form (fill in and return only if you wish to withdraw): To Peter Leicht, Spitzwegstr. 12, 84453 Mühldorf, Germany, [email address will be added soon]: I hereby withdraw from the contract concluded by me for the purchase of the following service: … / Ordered on: … / Name of consumer: … / Address of consumer: … / Signature (only on paper) / Date.

Do not misuse the service: no attempts to access other users’ data, disrupt the service, scrape it, resell it, or use it for unlawful purposes.

The app, questions, lessons and design belong to us or our licensors. You may use them for your personal, non-commercial study. Bible translations remain the property of their copyright holders; embedded texts are public-domain or openly licensed editions, other translations are only linked.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information. You can delete your learning data at any time.

You may stop using the service and delete your data at any time. We may suspend or end accounts that seriously violate these Terms. If we end the service for reasons not caused by you, we will refund unused credit.

We may end the service as a whole for the future. We will announce this at least 30 days in advance on our website and in the app; where we have your email address, we will also let you know by email. From the announcement on, we no longer sell credit or gift vouchers. After the end we refund unused, unexpired credit and the price of gift vouchers not yet redeemed, where possible to the original means of payment. If we cannot reach you or the refund cannot be made automatically, you can request it by contacting us (for a voucher, please include the code); we will then refund by another suitable route.

Residents of Germany: the statutory warranty rights for digital products apply. We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the Product Liability Act. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation (one whose fulfilment makes the contract possible and on which you may rely), limited to the damage typically foreseeable when the contract was concluded.

Residents of the United States: to the extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind; we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law or your rights under the consumer protection laws of your state.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of your country or state of residence.

Please contact us first so we can resolve any issue informally. We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

We may update these Terms. For material changes we will notify you in advance in the app or by email; if you do not agree, you may stop using the service and we will refund unused credit.
