Terms

Bible in Mind lets you build mind maps of Bible passages and learn them by heart. These terms are the agreement between you and whoever runs this service about using it.

This is early software

It is built and run by one person. There is no uptime promise, no support desk, and no guarantee that a feature you rely on today is still here next month. It is offered as it is.

Keep your own copy of anything that matters. Every mind map can be downloaded as a file from the maps list, and that file can be imported again — here or anywhere else that reads it. That is deliberate: it means losing this service does not mean losing your work.

Your account

• You need an email address and a password. One person, one account.
• Keep your password to yourself. Anything done from your account counts as done by you.
• You must be 16 or older to make one. Below that age this service is not for you, and there is no way here for a parent to consent on your behalf.
• You can delete your account at any time, from Settings. It takes your maps, your cards and your progress with it, and it cannot be undone.

What you make stays yours

Your mind maps, your notes, your own words: yours. Publishing one does not transfer anything. It grants permission to show that map at its public address and to include it in search results and in previews — nothing more, and only for as long as you leave it public.

Make a map private again and the public page starts answering 410 Gone within seconds. What is already sitting in someone else's search index or cache is outside anyone's control here.

Bible text is not ours to give away

Public-domain translations — the King James Version, the World English Bible, the Dutch Statenvertaling — carry no restriction and are shown to everyone.

Modern translations are copyrighted by their publishers. Where there is no licence, this service shows the reference only and not the words, to you and to every visitor. That is not a limitation to work around: it is what keeps this legal.

Text you paste is your responsibility

You can paste a passage from a translation this service does not hold. When you do, you are the one publishing it. Publishers generally accept quotation up to around 500 verses, and this service holds you to that as a hard limit — 20 verses per card and 500 across your account — but the limit is a floor, not a licence, and it does not cover commercial use or a whole book of the Bible.

What you may not do

• Publish anything unlawful, or anything that harasses or impersonates somebody.
• Upload an image you have no right to use.
• Try to reach another person's account, maps, or images.
• Automate against this service in a way that degrades it for others.
• Use it to redistribute copyrighted Bible text at scale — see above.

An account doing these things can be suspended or removed. With a service this small, that decision is a person's judgement rather than a process.

Changes and endings

These terms may change; the date at the top says when they last did. If a change matters and you have an account, you get an email about it. You can stop at any time by deleting your account. This service can also stop — in which case you will have notice and time to download your maps.

Which law

The law of the Netherlands applies. If you use this as a consumer in the EU, this does not take away the protection of the mandatory rules of your own country.
