Terms of Service

Last updated: November 11, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, accessing, or using Beatitude (the “App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Beatitude. By using the App, you represent that you meet this age requirement. Age is asked for once, at signup, as a year of birth. That year is used on your device to work out an age range and is then discarded: only the range (13-17, 18-29, 30-54, 55+) is ever sent to us, never the date itself. If the year given is under 13, no account is created and nothing is sent at all.

3. Description of Service

Beatitude is a community prayer-request platform. Users may submit limited, structured information (first name, country, and a preselected category) to be shown to other users for the purpose of prayer, and may pray for others’ submitted requests. An optional, separately-priced feature (the “Mirror”) allows users to pray aloud and receive AI-generated insights about their personal prayers. Nothing is recorded: speech is transcribed to text on the device and the audio is discarded — see Section 7.

Beatitude is doctrine-neutral and does not represent any single Christian denomination or tradition.

Beatitude is operated and published by Shepherd Systems Inc., an Ontario corporation, which is also the seller of record for all purchases made through the App Store.

Beatitude is currently available only in the United States and Canada. Distribution will be expanded to other countries only once appropriate legal review for those jurisdictions is complete.

Beatitude is not offered in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area.

4. Not Medical, Psychological, or Professional Advice

Beatitude, including the Mirror, does not provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, or professional counseling advice of any kind. Insights, reflections, and suggestions generated by the Mirror are for personal reflection only and are not a substitute for professional care. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact the crisis resources listed in-app for your country, or your local emergency services — 911 in the United States and Canada.

5. User Content & Conduct

When submitting a prayer request, you agree to:

• Submit truthful, good-faith requests for prayer
• Not attempt to circumvent the App’s structured (non-free-text) submission format through any means, including third-party tools
• Not submit information about another person without a reasonable basis to believe they would want prayer support

We reserve the right to remove content, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, including patterns suggesting fake, abusive, or spam submissions (see rate-limiting and verification measures described in our Privacy Policy).

6. Subscriptions & Billing

Beatitude offers the following paid subscription tier, billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, as applicable:

The price shown by the App Store at confirmation is the one that applies, and there is no free trial.

There is one paid feature. Streak Saver and the Full Circle bundle were removed from the product in September 2026 and cannot be purchased; the prayer app itself is free and stays free.

• Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless canceled at least 24 hours before the renewal date, through your Apple ID or Google Play account settings.
• Payment will be charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase and at the start of each renewal period.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your device’s account settings; Beatitude does not process cancellations directly.
• The Mirror’s fair-use limit of 10 analyzed prayers per day is described in-app and is not a basis for a refund or billing dispute. A short-term rate limit also applies within any single hour; it delays further analysis rather than reducing the daily allowance. You may pray as often as you wish either way — the limit applies only to prayers the Mirror analyzes, never to praying itself.

Refunds: refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by Beatitude. Requests go through the store where the purchase was made.

Restoring a purchase: if you reinstall the app or change device, you can restore your subscription from the Mirror screen.

Price changes: if the price changes, the App Store or Google Play will notify you according to their own rules before the change takes effect.

7. The Mirror — Data Handling Acknowledgment

By using the Mirror, you acknowledge and consent that:

• Your prayers are transcribed live, on-device, to text — no audio is recorded or stored
• Transcribed text is held for up to nine days — a week, plus the window in which the reflection covering it is written — and is used to generate a weekly reflection, after which the raw text is permanently deleted
• Weekly, monthly, and annual reflections are retained to provide the reflection features you’re subscribing to
• This processing uses third-party AI technology (Anthropic’s Claude models) under Beatitude’s agreement with that provider

8. Intellectual Property

The App, including its name, logo, design, and content (excluding public domain scripture quotations), is the property of Shepherd Systems Inc. and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Scripture quotations are drawn from the King James Version, which is in the public domain in both launch jurisdictions. It is not public domain in the United Kingdom, where it remains subject to perpetual Crown letters patent — one more reason the UK stays out of scope, and a content blocker to revisit, separate from privacy law, if that decision is ever reversed.

9. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, except to the extent that such warranties, guarantees or rights cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that applies to you and cannot be excluded by law.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at our discretion, including for violations of these Terms. You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. Instructions, what is deleted and how long it takes are at beatitudeapp.com/delete-account, which needs no sign-in and no app installed.

Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription. Apple holds your payment arrangement, and only you can end it: on your iPhone, Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Beatitude → Cancel Subscription. Cancel before you ask us to delete the account, or you will continue to be charged for something you can no longer reach.

11. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the App, are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in that province, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

You and Shepherd Systems Inc. submit to the jurisdiction of the courts located in Ontario, Canada.

Nothing in this section removes the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection law of the place where you live, or any right you have under that law to bring a claim in a court there.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
