Terms of Use
Last updated September 28, 2026
This is a draft pending legal review. By using A Verse to Carry, you agree to these terms with [owner legal name], referred to here as the service owner.
Eligibility and accounts
Anyone may read the site. To create an account, comment, or subscribe, you must be old enough to agree to these terms under the laws of your country, and the information you give must be accurate. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure.
Automated content, not professional advice
The daily devotionals are selected, written, checked, and translated by AI models. No person writes them, and no person routinely approves them before they are published. Automated checks are not pastoral or scholarly review, and devotionals may contain errors. Every devotional page links to “How it works”, which explains the process in full.
Nothing on this site is pastoral, medical, legal, financial, or psychological advice, and the service does not provide crisis support. If you are in danger, contact your local emergency services.
Comments and conduct
Comments are plain text only, up to 500 characters, with no links, contact details, fundraising, or attachments. Every comment is moderated automatically before it appears and may be rejected, hidden, or removed. Do not post anything unlawful, hateful, harassing, sexual, deceptive, or spam, anything that shares another person’s private information, or anything that attempts to manipulate the moderation system.
You keep ownership of your comments. By posting, you grant the service owner a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and moderate them on the service for as long as they remain published.
Subscriptions, cancellation, and refunds
Reading the site is free. The optional paid newsletter is billed through PayPal at the price and interval shown before you subscribe, and renews automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time in your subscription settings or in PayPal; delivery continues until the end of the paid period.
Refund requests can be sent through the billing category on the contact page and are handled through PayPal in line with applicable consumer law. Full refund terms will be confirmed during legal review.
Scripture sources
Scripture on this site comes only from Bible translations that are in the public domain or openly licensed and free to use online. We quote their wording exactly and never alter it.
Context notes, when a devotional has them, draw only on these open Bible texts, not on third-party publications.
- English: World English Bible (WEB), public domain, digital edition from eBible.org (eng-web).
- Spanish: Reina-Valera 1909, public domain, digital edition from eBible.org (spaRV1909).
- Brazilian Portuguese: no translation yet. None is used until a verified public-domain edition exists.
Content rights and availability
The site’s design, brand, and other original content belong to the service owner.
We aim to publish every day but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features, and may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction], without limiting any rights you have under the consumer laws of your country. Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact page.
