Terms of Use

By creating an account or using TheoGuard (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and TheoGuard (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

TheoGuard is an AI-powered theological content analysis tool. The Service allows users to submit content — including PDF documents, Word documents, YouTube links, book titles, and plain text — and receive a doctrinal soundness report analyzing the content across theological categories including doctrine, hermeneutics, confessional alignment, and psychological or philosophical frameworks.

The Service is intended for use by pastors, church leaders, ministry directors, elders, and others engaged in theological discernment for congregational contexts.

To use the Service, you must create an account with a valid email address. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account. By registering, you represent that you are 18 or older and that the information you provide is accurate and current.

You may not share your account with others or create accounts for the purpose of circumventing usage limits or subscription requirements.

6.1 Your Content

You retain all rights to content you submit to the Service. By submitting content, you grant TheoGuard a limited, non-exclusive license to process that content solely for the purpose of generating your analysis report. We do not claim ownership of content you submit.

6.2 Analysis Reports

The theological analysis reports generated by the Service are provided for your personal and ministerial use. You may share reports within your church leadership, elder board, or ministry team. You may not resell or commercially redistribute reports.

6.3 TheoGuard Property

All other aspects of the Service — including the software, website, logos, design, prompts, analysis methodology, and documentation — are the intellectual property of TheoGuard and are protected by copyright and other applicable laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in TheoGuard's intellectual property except as expressly stated.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TheoGuard does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from inaccuracies. AI-generated theological analysis is a tool to assist human discernment — it is not infallible, and it does not replace the judgment of trained theologians, pastors, or church leadership.

The analysis reports generated by TheoGuard are informational tools, not authoritative theological verdicts. You are solely responsible for how you use, apply, or act upon the content of any report. TheoGuard accepts no responsibility for decisions made on the basis of its analysis.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THEOGUARD AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF REVENUE, OR HARM TO REPUTATION, EVEN IF THEOGUARD HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THEOGUARD'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO THEOGUARD IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00).

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TheoGuard and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) content you submit to the Service; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.

You may terminate your account at any time from the account settings page or by contacting us. Upon termination, your access to the Service will cease and your data will be deleted within 30 days, except as required by law.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent behavior, or use the Service in a way that harms other users or the Service itself. We will generally provide notice before termination unless the violation is severe or ongoing.

Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11 — will survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against TheoGuard.

12.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and TheoGuard regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

12.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

12.3 No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

12.4 Assignment

You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign our rights to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
