Terms of Service

Last updated: February 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Pro Bible. By accessing or using our website and services ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when the Terms were last revised. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

2. Description of the Service

Pro Bible provides free online access to the Holy Bible in multiple languages and versions (translations) for personal reading, study, and reflection. You can read by book, chapter, and verse; view a daily verse; and browse available translations. No login or registration is required to use the Service.

The Service is intended for users of all ages and is provided for informational and devotional use. We do not charge for access to the Bible text. The Service may display third-party advertisements to help fund its operation.

We strive to keep the Service available and accurate but do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that the content is complete or error-free. Bible text is provided from trusted sources; for formal study or doctrinal purposes, you may wish to consult print or official digital editions.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of others or restrict their use of the Service. You may not:

  • Use the Service in any way that violates applicable laws, regulations, or these Terms
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, networks, or any other user's data
  • Use automated means (such as bots, scrapers, or scripts) to access, collect data from, or overload the Service without our prior written permission
  • Reproduce, redistribute, sell, or commercially exploit the Service or its content (including Bible text subject to third-party rights) in a way that infringes our or our licensors' rights
  • Use the Service to distribute malware, spam, or harmful or offensive content
  • Impersonate another person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for anyone who we believe has violated these terms or abused the Service.

4. Intellectual Property and Bible Content

The design, layout, branding, and original content of the Pro Bible website are owned by us or our licensors. You may not copy, modify, or reuse these elements without permission.

Bible text (scripture) made available on this site may be subject to specific translation copyrights and licenses held by third parties. We do not claim ownership of those texts. We display them in accordance with their respective licenses (e.g. public domain or Creative Commons) and, where required, we provide attribution on the Read page or in our Copyright & Attribution page.

Use of the Service grants you no rights to the Bible text or other content beyond personal, non-commercial reading and reference. If you wish to reproduce or distribute scripture from this site, you are responsible for complying with the relevant copyright and attribution requirements for each translation.

5. Third-Party Advertising

The Service may display advertisements provided by third parties (such as Google AdSense). We do not control the content or targeting of these ads. Your interactions with advertisers—including any visits to their sites or transactions—are between you and the advertiser and are subject to the advertiser's and the ad network's own policies.

We are not responsible for the accuracy, legality, or appropriateness of third-party ads. If you have a concern about an ad, you can use the ad network's reporting tools or contact us via our Contact page.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or suitability of the Bible content for any particular purpose. Scripture is provided for general reference; for formal study or doctrinal use, you may need to consult additional sources.

No advice or information obtained by you from the Service shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Pro Bible and its operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages—including loss of profits, data, or goodwill—arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall our total liability to you for all claims arising from or related to the Service exceed the amount you paid to us in the twelve months preceding the claim (or, if you paid nothing, one hundred dollars or the minimum amount permitted by law). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.

8. Links to Other Websites

The Service may contain links to third-party websites (for example, in attribution or in ads). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of those sites. We encourage you to read their policies before providing any personal information or relying on their content.

9. Contact and Governing Law

Questions about these Terms of Service? Please see our Contact page. We will do our best to respond to legitimate inquiries in a timely manner.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which we operate, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that jurisdiction, except where prohibited by law.
