Welcome to Chronicle, a Bible chat-story app published by Creative Expressions Collective LLC. These Terms explain the rules for using the app and the agreement between you and us. By using Chronicle, you accept them.
Acceptance of these Terms
These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Chronicle mobile application, together with all related content, features, and services (collectively, the “App”). The App is published by Creative Expressions Collective LLC, a single-member limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA (“Creative Expressions,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not download or use the App.
These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Creative Expressions Collective LLC only. They do not create any agreement with Apple or Google, although additional platform terms also apply (see Section 9).
Eligibility & minors
Chronicle is intended to be a faith-focused experience suitable for a broad audience, and there is no age restriction on using the App.
If you are a minor under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (generally under 18), you may use the App only with the knowledge, supervision, and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
Parents and guardians: by allowing a minor in your care to use the App, you agree to these Terms, accept responsibility for that minor’s use of the App, and remain responsible for any purchases made through your device or app-store account. We encourage you to review the App and supervise younger users.
You represent that you are able to form a binding contract — or that a parent or guardian who can do so has agreed to these Terms for you.
Your license to use Chronicle
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to download and use one copy of the App on any mobile device that you own or control, solely for your own personal, non-commercial use, and as further permitted by the rules of the app store from which you obtained it.
This license does not transfer any ownership in the App or its content to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us.
Permitted use & restrictions
You agree that you will not, and will not permit anyone else to:
- copy, modify, adapt, translate, sell, rent, lease, or create derivative works from the App or any of its content, except as expressly allowed by these Terms or applicable law;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the limited extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- reproduce, republish, distribute, or publicly display the stories, scripts, dialogue, artwork, audio, or other content of the App outside of the App;
- circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security, licensing, or content-protection features of the App;
- remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices;
- use the App for any unlawful purpose or in any way that violates these Terms or the rights of others.
Purchases & payments
Chronicle is a paid experience. It offers a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks access to the full Chronicle story library. The Purchase is a single, one-time charge and is not a recurring subscription.
All payments are processed by the applicable app store — the Apple App Store or Google Play — and not directly by us. The price is shown to you at the point of purchase and may vary by region and change over time. Your payment is also subject to the terms and policies of the relevant app store.
Because billing is handled by the app stores, all billing questions and refund requests are subject to their policies. Refunds, where available, are granted at the discretion of Apple or Google in accordance with their respective policies, and we generally cannot issue refunds directly. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you may have as a consumer under the law of your country of residence.
If you reinstall the App or set up a new device, you can typically restore your Purchase at no additional cost using the same app-store account through which it was made.
Cloud sync & backups
The App does not require you to create an account with us, and we do not operate user accounts or store your personal login details.
For your convenience, the App offers optional synchronization and backup of your in-app data — such as your reading progress — using your own Apple iCloud or Google Drive account. This feature relies on third-party services provided by Apple and Google under their own terms and privacy policies, and requires you to have and maintain your own account with those providers.
We do not control these third-party services and are not responsible for their availability, performance, or security, or for any loss, corruption, or unavailability of data that has been synced to or stored within them. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups.
Nature of the content
Chronicle presents dramatized, illustrated retellings of biblical narratives in a chat-story format, created for inspiration, education, and engagement.
These retellings are creative adaptations and interpretations. They are not a translation of, and are not intended to replace, the Bible or any canonical text of Scripture. For study, devotion, and doctrine, we encourage you to read the Scriptures directly and to consult trusted teachers in your faith community.
The App is provided for general inspirational and educational purposes and does not provide religious, theological, pastoral, medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.
The content of the App is provided on a read-only basis. The App does not allow users to post, upload, publish, or publicly share their own content within it.
Intellectual property
The App and all of its content — including its stories, scripts, dialogue, characters, illustrations, artwork, audio, design, user interface, software, and trademarks (including the names “Chronicle” and “Creative Expressions Collective”) — are owned by or licensed to Creative Expressions Collective LLC and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.
Except for the limited license granted to you in Section 3, these Terms do not grant you any right, title, or interest in the App or its content. All rights are reserved.
Disclaimers
THE APP AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY DATA WILL NOT BE LOST.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In that case, such warranties are limited to the minimum scope and duration permitted by law.
Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CREATIVE EXPRESSIONS COLLECTIVE LLC AND ITS OWNER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $10.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Creative Expressions Collective LLC and its owner from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your misuse of the App or your violation of these Terms or of applicable law.
Term & termination
These Terms apply for as long as you use the App. You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it from your devices.
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the App or any of its features at any time if you violate these Terms or if we are required to do so by law. We may also discontinue the App as described in Section 14.
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including those concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — will survive.
Changes to the app & Terms
We are continually improving Chronicle and may modify, update, add, or remove features of the App at any time. We may also stop offering the App or any feature, in whole or in part.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the “Effective date” shown at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide notice within the App. Changes take effect when posted, and your continued use of the App after that point means you accept the updated Terms.
Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
If you have a concern, please contact us first at the email below — we will try to resolve it informally. To the extent permitted by law, any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country in which you reside.
Privacy
Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle information in connection with the App. You can read it here: Privacy Policy.
General provisions
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any app-store terms that apply, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. These Terms are written in English, which is the controlling language.
