Terms of Use

1. Agreeing to these terms

By using the Kaminu app or this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy, which explains what we do with your data. If you don't agree, please don't use Kaminu.

2. What Kaminu is

Kaminu is a Bible study app: a path of short lessons, a Bible reader, notes and highlights, and an AI study companion that answers questions about a verse.

Lesson texts are original summaries written for Kaminu, with Scripture references cited so you can read each passage yourself. They are not Scripture. Kaminu is not a church and is not a substitute for pastoral care or professional advice.

We keep improving Kaminu, so features may be added, changed or removed over time.

3. Who can use Kaminu

You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must agree to these terms for you and approve any purchase.

4. Your account

• Guest use. You can start without an account. A guest's progress is tied to the app on that device and is lost if the app is uninstalled before you create an account.
• Accounts. When you create an account, give accurate details and keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us at contact@mpcsj.com if you think someone else is using it.
• Google and Apple. If you sign in with Google or Apple, their terms also apply to that sign-in.
• One account per person. Accounts can't be sold or transferred.

5. Kaminu Plus and payments

Lessons, notes, highlights, the Bible reader and 5 AI questions a month are free. Kaminu Plus is an optional subscription that adds unlimited AI study questions and the Hebrew & Greek interlinear. Features marked Beta or Soon may change or arrive later.

• Billing. Plus is bought through the App Store or Google Play, which charge you under their own terms. The price is the one the store shows you, in your currency, before you confirm.
• Renewal. Plus renews automatically, monthly or yearly, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account settings. After you cancel, Plus stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
• Uninstalling is not cancelling. Deleting the app, or your Kaminu account, does not stop the store from billing you. Cancel in the store.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies; we cannot refund a store purchase ourselves. This doesn't limit any right you have under consumer law, including a right of withdrawal.
• Price changes. If the price changes, the store tells you in advance, as its rules require.
• Fair use. "Unlimited" questions are for your own study. Automated, bulk or shared use may be limited.
• Free questions. The 5 free AI questions reset at the start of each calendar month; unused ones don't carry over.

6. The study companion and AI content

The answers from the study companion and the word explanations in the interlinear are generated by AI. They can be inaccurate or incomplete, and they can reflect one interpretation among several. Treat them as a starting point, not as authoritative teaching, and check them against Scripture and trusted sources. The interlinear is in Beta while its explanations are being reviewed.

Don't rely on Kaminu for medical, legal, financial or mental-health decisions. If you are in crisis or in danger, contact your local emergency services.

You are responsible for the questions you ask. Don't use the study companion to produce unlawful, hateful or harassing content.

7. Our content and the Bible texts

The Kaminu app, lesson texts, design, artwork (including the Dove) and name belong to MPCSJ EMPREENDIMENTOS LTDA - ME (CNPJ 46.542.268/0001-56) or its licensors. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use the app for your own non-commercial study, under these terms.

The Bible versions in the app are public domain (Berean Standard Bible, King James Version, Reina-Valera 1909) or openly licensed (Bíblia Livre, CC BY 4.0). The interlinear uses data from STEPBible.org by Tyndale House, Cambridge (CC BY 4.0). Those texts remain under their own licenses and are credited in the app.

8. Your notes

Your notes, highlights and questions are yours. You allow us to store, sync and process them only to provide Kaminu to you — for example, sending a question to our AI provider when you ask it. We don't publish them.

9. Acceptable use

Please don't:

• break the law, or use Kaminu to harm or harass anyone;
• copy, scrape or redistribute lessons, data or AI answers in bulk;
• get around the free limits — for example by creating guest accounts or automating requests;
• reverse engineer the app or the API, except where the law allows it;
• access other people's accounts, or interfere with or overload the service;
• be abusive towards the people who answer support.

10. Suspension and ending

You can stop using Kaminu at any time and ask us to delete your account (Privacy Policy).

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, with notice when that is reasonable. If we ever discontinue Kaminu, we will tell you in advance.

11. Disclaimers

To the extent the law allows, Kaminu is provided "as is" and "as available". We work to keep it running and accurate, but we don't promise it will be uninterrupted, error-free or always available. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have as a consumer that the law says cannot be waived.

12. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, or for lost profits or data. Our total liability for any claim about Kaminu is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and the equivalent of US$ 50.

These limits don't apply where the law doesn't allow them, including for willful misconduct or gross negligence, or where they would restrict your rights under consumer protection law.

13. Apple and Google

If you got Kaminu from the App Store or Google Play, you must also follow that store's terms. In addition:

• These terms are between you and MPCSJ EMPREENDIMENTOS LTDA - ME (CNPJ 46.542.268/0001-56), not Apple or Google. We, not they, are responsible for Kaminu and its content.
• Apple and Google have no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Kaminu.
• If Kaminu fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; Apple has no other warranty obligation for Kaminu.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for handling any claims about Kaminu, including product liability, failure to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer protection, and claims that Kaminu infringes someone's intellectual property.
• You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, and not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When a change is material, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. If you keep using Kaminu afterwards, you accept the new terms; if you don't agree, stop using it and delete your account.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Brazil. If you are a consumer in Brazil, you may bring a claim in the courts where you live. If you are a consumer elsewhere, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Not enforcing a part now doesn't waive it.

16. Translations

These terms are available in English, Portuguese and Spanish. If the versions differ, the Portuguese version prevails for users in Brazil and the English version for everyone else.
