2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

3. Your Account

If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate information and to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. License to Use the App

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

You may not:

• Copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App or the content within it.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code.
• Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices.

5. Intellectual Property

The App, including all text, translations, audio narration, artwork, design, code, and trademarks, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. The underlying classical works are in the public domain; our modern editions, translations, narration, and design are not.

6. User Content

Some features may allow you to create content such as journal entries or bookmarks. You retain all rights to your content. You grant us a limited license to store, process, sync, and back up your content solely to provide the Services to you. You are responsible for the content you create.

7. Communications and Marketing

By using the App or providing your email address (including via this website, the “Notify me” signup, or in-app account creation), you agree that we may collect your email address, account information, device information, approximate and (with your permission) precise location, and usage information, and may use this information to send you marketing communications, promotional offers, product updates, and information about new content and features.

You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing message, or by emailing us at the address below. You may also revoke push notification and location permissions in your device’s system settings. See our Privacy Policy for more detail.

8. Purchases and Subscriptions

Certain features or content may require a one-time purchase or recurring subscription, processed through Apple’s App Store. All purchases are subject to Apple’s terms in addition to ours. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID settings. Except as required by law, all purchases are final.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App and Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any content is accurate, reliable, or current.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall we, our affiliates, or our licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Services. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services shall not exceed the greater of (i) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim or (ii) twenty US dollars (US $20).

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us, our affiliates, and our licensors harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Services, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

12. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if continued provision is no longer commercially viable. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution) will survive.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
