If you do not agree with any part of these terms, do not use the app. Your continued use of Still Saul constitutes ongoing acceptance of these terms and any future updates to them.
Description of Service
Still Saul is a personal Bible companion web application. It provides guided Bible reading roads, daily verse content, personal reflection tools, a struggle journal, and related devotional features designed for men who want to engage seriously with Scripture.
Still Saul is provided free of charge. There are no premium tiers, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. The service is funded by its creator and offered as a gift to the men who use it.

Still Saul is intended for men aged 13 and older. By using the app, you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age.
If you are under 18, you should review these terms with a parent or guardian before using the app.
Still Saul is designed primarily for adult men. The content, tone, and focus of the app reflect that audience.

Availability and Updates
Still Saul is provided on an as-available basis. While we aim for consistent availability, we do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any particular time.
We may update, modify, or add features to Still Saul at any time without prior notice. We may also temporarily suspend access for maintenance, security, or operational reasons.
Still Saul is a living project. Features may be added, changed, or removed as the app grows. We will always prioritise the reading experience above everything else.
Disclaimers
Still Saul is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied.
Still Saul is a Bible companion tool, not a substitute for pastoral care, professional counselling, or spiritual direction. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a pastor, counsellor, or crisis line.
We do not warrant that the app will meet your specific spiritual needs, that results from using it will be accurate or reliable, or that any defects in the app will be corrected.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Still Saul and its creator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — the app.
In no event shall Still Saul's total liability to you for any damages exceed the amount you have paid to use the service. Since Still Saul is free, that amount is zero.
This limitation applies regardless of the basis of the claim — whether in contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise — even if Still Saul has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. When we do, we will update the 'Last updated' date at the top of this page.
Continued use of Still Saul after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
If a change is significant, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users — for example, through a notice within the app.
