The agreement governing EION services.

Agreement and scope

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of websites, applications, software, content, features, products, and services controlled by EION Development, LLC (“EION,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using a Service, clicking to accept, downloading an application, or making a purchase, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree, do not use the Services. Additional product terms, an app-store license, order form, subscription terms, or a signed agreement may also apply. Specific or signed terms control over these Terms to the extent of a conflict. EION Studio client work begins only under a written agreement.

These Terms do not govern the independently operated learn about God™ ministry platform except where a specific feature expressly identifies EION as its provider. The platform’s own terms govern its users, editorial activity, teaching, and ministry operations.

Eligibility and authority

You must be at least 13 years old and meet the minimum age required by your country to use the Services. If you are under the age of legal majority, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms for you. An app-store content rating does not change these eligibility rules.

If you use a Service for an organization or another person, you represent that you have authority to bind them. You may not use a Service if law prohibits you from receiving it or if EION previously suspended you for a violation.

License, software, and accounts

Subject to these Terms and any applicable payment, EION grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service for its intended purpose. EION and its licensors retain all rights not expressly granted.

You may not sell, rent, lease, redistribute, publicly host, sublicense, copy beyond permitted backup, modify, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, discover source code or non-public model components, or circumvent technical restrictions, except to the limited extent such a restriction is prohibited by law.

Where accounts are offered, provide accurate information, protect your credentials, and promptly report suspected compromise. You are responsible for activity under your account except to the extent caused by EION’s breach of duty. Accounts and entitlements may not be transferred or shared unless a Service expressly permits it.

Purchases, subscriptions, and app stores

Prices, billing periods, trial terms, included features, and renewal details are shown at purchase. Recurring subscriptions automatically renew for the disclosed period until canceled through the platform where purchased. Cancel before renewal to avoid the next charge. Cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the paid period and does not retroactively refund prior charges.

Apple App Store, Google Play, or another distributor may process payment, renewal, cancellation, and refund requests under its own rules. EION does not receive full payment-card details from those platforms and cannot override their refund decisions. Except where required by law or stated at purchase, fees are nonrefundable and virtual or digital entitlements have no cash value.

We may change future prices or subscription features with notice required by law or platform rules. Taxes may apply. If a third-party platform’s terms impose additional obligations for an application, those terms apply to your relationship with that platform, and the platform may be a third-party beneficiary of the applicable app license.

User content and feedback

You retain ownership of content you submit to the Services (“User Content”). You grant EION and its service providers a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, process, transmit, display, adapt, and otherwise use User Content only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, support, and improve the applicable Service; comply with law; and enforce these Terms. The license lasts while the content is stored and for a reasonable backup or legal-retention period.

You represent that you have all rights and permissions needed to submit User Content and allow its processing, and that it does not violate law, privacy, publicity, contract, or intellectual-property rights. Do not submit confidential, regulated, or sensitive information unless the Service and a governing agreement expressly permit it.

If you voluntarily provide ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant EION a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use it without restriction or compensation. This does not give EION ownership of materials separately protected by a written confidentiality agreement.

AI-enabled and automated features

Some Services may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, retrieval, classification, transcription, or other automated systems. Output can be incomplete, inaccurate, offensive, outdated, or similar to output provided to others. It is generated from patterns, supplied context, and system behavior; it is not a statement of fact or a substitute for qualified human judgment.

You are responsible for evaluating output before relying on, publishing, or acting on it. Do not use output as the sole basis for decisions with legal or similarly significant effects, or as professional medical, legal, financial, employment, housing, credit, educational, emergency, or safety advice. EION does not warrant that output is unique, non-infringing, or suitable for a particular purpose.

As between you and EION, and to the extent permitted by law, you may use output generated specifically for you, subject to these Terms and any third-party rights. EION retains all rights in the underlying Services, models, systems, prompts, retrieval architecture, interfaces, and preexisting materials. You must not misrepresent automated output as human-generated where disclosure is legally required or material to prevent deception.

Arca Scripture Graph and ministry independence

Arca Scripture Graph is proprietary Scripture intelligence technology developed by EION Labs. Arca can organize and retrieve Scripture and related structured evidence for software-assisted study. It does not make EION, Arca, or an AI system a theological authority, and it does not replace Scripture, pastoral care, personal study, or the work and discernment that a user’s faith tradition attributes to the Holy Spirit.

Scripture-related output may contain errors and must be checked against the cited biblical text and appropriate sources. learn about God™ independently controls its theology, teaching, editorial decisions, and ministry direction. PARAVOX and EION’s wider commercial portfolio do not determine, endorse, or govern that theology.

PARAVOX experimental-use terms

PARAVOX is an independent paranormal research and experimental audio-analysis brand. PARAVOX applications are provided for entertainment, documentation, and experimental research. They do not detect, verify, prove, or guarantee paranormal activity, communication, entities, or causes. Sounds, words, classifications, visualizations, and other results may arise from noise, algorithms, source material, interference, chance, user interpretation, or pattern recognition.

You assume responsibility for how you interpret and use results. Do not use PARAVOX for emergency response, surveillance, medical or mental-health assessment, safety decisions, navigation, law enforcement, or accusations about a person. Do not trespass, enter unsafe locations, violate recording or consent laws, disturb property, or expose yourself or others to risk. Stop using the application and seek appropriate help if an experience causes distress or affects your wellbeing.

Acceptable use

You may not use the Services to:

• violate law, regulation, court order, sanctions, or another person’s rights;
• harm, exploit, threaten, harass, defraud, impersonate, or deceive anyone;
• upload malware, interfere with operation, probe vulnerabilities without written authorization, evade limits, or gain unauthorized access;
• scrape, harvest, or extract data or output at scale except through an expressly authorized interface;
• benchmark or use non-public output to develop a competing model or service where prohibited by a separate agreement;
• infringe intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or contractual rights;
• generate or distribute unlawful sexual content, child sexual abuse material, or content that facilitates violence or serious wrongdoing;
• make high-impact decisions about a person without legally required safeguards and meaningful human review;
• misrepresent experimental or AI-generated output as verified evidence; or
• assist another person in doing any of the above.

We may investigate suspected violations and preserve or disclose information as permitted by our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Intellectual property and infringement notices

The Services—including software, Arca Scripture Graph, models, algorithms, databases, interfaces, designs, text, graphics, audiovisual material, trademarks, logos, and compilation—are owned by EION or its licensors and protected by intellectual-property and unfair-competition laws. “EION,” “EION Labs,” “EION Studio,” “PARAVOX,” associated logos, and product names may not be used without permission. Third-party names and content remain the property of their owners.

If you believe content in a Service infringes your copyright, email contact@eion.dev with: your signature; identification of the copyrighted work and allegedly infringing material; its location; your contact information; a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized; and a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act. Knowingly false notices may create liability. We may remove material and terminate repeat infringers where appropriate.

Third-party services and open-source software

The Services may include or link to third-party websites, app stores, advertisements, communities, content, models, APIs, software, or services. EION does not control and is not responsible for independent third parties, their availability, content, security, or practices. Your use of them is governed by their terms.

Open-source components are governed by their applicable licenses. If an open-source license conflicts with these Terms for a component, that license controls for that component.

EION Studio and business engagements

An inquiry, meeting, estimate, proposal, demonstration, or discussion does not obligate either party, create exclusivity, form a partnership or fiduciary relationship, or require EION to accept work. A Studio engagement begins only when authorized parties sign a written agreement defining scope, fees, responsibilities, intellectual property, confidentiality, acceptance, and other project terms.

Unsolicited material and confidentiality

Do not send trade secrets, source code, unreleased inventions, or other confidential material through a public form or unsolicited message. Unless EION has signed a confidentiality agreement covering the disclosure, an unsolicited submission does not create a duty of confidentiality or restrict EION from independently developing, evaluating, or using similar ideas.

Service changes, availability, and beta features

We may add, modify, update, limit, discontinue, or suspend all or part of a Service, including features, compatibility, models, data sources, and free offerings. We will provide notice when required by law. Services may be interrupted for maintenance, security, provider failures, emergencies, or events beyond our reasonable control.

Preview, alpha, beta, experimental, or research features may be incomplete, change without notice, and contain errors. They may be subject to additional restrictions and should not be used in production or safety-critical settings unless EION expressly agrees in writing.

Suspension and termination

You may stop using a Service at any time and may cancel a subscription as described in Section 4. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, fail to pay, use a Service fraudulently, or if continued provision is unlawful or no longer commercially feasible. Where reasonable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to cure, but we may act immediately for security, legal, or safety reasons.

On termination, your license ends. Provisions that by their nature should survive—including ownership, feedback, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, disputes, and general terms—will survive.

Disclaimers

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND ALL OUTPUT, CONTENT, AND FEATURES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” EION AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND PROVIDERS DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

EION DOES NOT WARRANT THAT A SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY DEVICE, OR THAT OUTPUT OR CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, UNIQUE, RELIABLE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR PURPOSE. YOU USE THE SERVICES AND RELY ON OUTPUT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so they apply only to the extent permitted. Nothing in these Terms excludes non-waivable consumer rights.

Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EION AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, BUSINESS, OR OPPORTUNITY; SERVICE INTERRUPTION; DEVICE DAMAGE; OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EION AND THE FOREGOING PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID EION FOR THE AFFECTED SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY OR (B) US $100.

These limitations apply regardless of the theory of liability and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited, which may include liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or violation of non-waivable consumer law.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, if you use a Service on behalf of a business or for commercial purposes, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless EION and its affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and providers from third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your User Content, your unlawful or unauthorized use, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of another person’s rights. EION may control the defense, and you will reasonably cooperate. This section does not require a consumer to indemnify EION where prohibited by law.

Disputes and governing law

Before filing a claim, you and EION agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve it informally for 30 days. Send a notice describing the dispute, requested relief, and your contact information to contact@eion.dev. This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief or filing a claim before a limitation period expires.

Except where the law of your residence requires otherwise, these Terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You and EION consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts of competent jurisdiction located in South Carolina. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that provides mandatory local rights or forums, this section does not deprive you of those protections. Claims must be brought within the period provided by applicable law.

Export, changes, and general terms

You must comply with applicable export-control, import, and sanctions laws. You represent that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or acting for a prohibited territory or restricted party, except where access is authorized by law.

We may update these Terms. We will post the revised version and update the date above, and will provide additional notice or seek renewed consent where required. Changes apply prospectively. If you do not agree to a material change, stop using the affected Service before it takes effect.

You may not assign these Terms without EION’s written consent. EION may assign them in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, or asset transfer. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remainder stays effective. Section headings are for convenience. These Terms and incorporated additional terms are the entire agreement concerning the Services and supersede prior statements on that subject. No third party is a beneficiary except where these Terms expressly say otherwise.
