Terms of Use
For quiet, personal reading.
Quiet Bible Reader is designed for personal reading. It has no sharing, community, donation or outreach tools, and it must not be used to redistribute scripture as a separate product.
1. What this app is
Quiet Bible Reader is a local-first Bible reading app for personal use. Bible text is provided in the World English Bible (WEB) and the Berean Standard Bible (BSB). The app does not provide pastoral advice, doctrine, counselling or emergency services.
2. Your personal licence
Subject to these terms and the scripture licences below, you may install and use the app on devices you control for personal, non-commercial reading. You may make notes, highlights, bookmarks and personal backups. You may not:
- redistribute the app or the scripture text as a separate Bible product;
- sell, sublicense or commercially exploit the scripture text;
- use the app for public outreach, broadcasting, fundraising or donation collection;
- remove copyright, licence or attribution notices;
- use the app in a way that breaks applicable law.
3. Scripture licences
World English Bible (WEB) is in the public domain and may be freely copied and distributed, provided the name “World English Bible” is used faithfully for faithful copies.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB) is in the public domain as of 2023 and may be freely copied and distributed.
4. Quiet Pro
Quiet Pro is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks additional reading tools. It is not a subscription. It does not lock the Bible text or basic reading features. In the App Store version, purchases are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple’s terms; restore is handled through the App Store. In this prototype, the purchase is simulated and no payment is taken.
5. No account; local data
The app does not create accounts and does not upload your reading data. Your marks and notes live on your device and may be lost if you delete the app, clear its data or lose the device. Use the manual backup feature if you want a second copy. See the Privacy Policy.
6. Availability and changes
The app is provided as-is. Features, translations and offline packs may change or be withdrawn, including if a scripture licence changes. We aim to keep the core reading experience stable and to describe changes in the in-app update log.
7. Disclaimer
To the extent permitted by law, the app is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot be limited by law.
