Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR TITLE. FIREFLY: BIBLE BEDTIME STORIES MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT:
- The Application will meet your requirements
- The Application will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
- The results obtained from using the Application will be accurate or reliable

Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL FIREFLY: BIBLE BEDTIME STORIES, ITS OWNER, DEVELOPERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, OR AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "PROTECTED PARTIES") BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR:
- Loss of data, revenue, profits, or business opportunity
- Loss of use or loss of goodwill
- Personal injury or emotional distress of any kind
- Any damage resulting from your use or inability to use the Application
- Any interruption, delay, or error in the Application
- Any reliance on content presented in the Application
This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory upon which the claim is based (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE PROTECTED PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APPLICATION OR THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APPLICATION (ZERO DOLLARS, $0.00) OR, WHERE A CAP OF ZERO IS NOT PERMITTED, THE MINIMUM AMOUNT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the liability of the Protected Parties is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Assumption of Risk and Release
You use the Application voluntarily and at your own risk. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU — ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF, YOUR CHILD OR WARD, AND YOUR HEIRS, EXECUTORS, AND ASSIGNS — IRREVOCABLY RELEASE, WAIVE, AND DISCHARGE THE PROTECTED PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES OF EVERY KIND, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE APPLICATION OR ITS CONTENT. You agree not to bring, join, or assist in any claim, suit, or proceeding against the Protected Parties arising out of the Application, except where such an agreement is prohibited by applicable law.
If you are a California resident, you expressly waive the protections of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." Residents of other jurisdictions similarly waive any comparable statute or doctrine to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Content Disclaimer
The Application's stories, verses, questions, games, and other content are provided for general religious, educational, and entertainment purposes only. They are simplified retellings intended for young children and are not a substitute for the Bible itself, professional advice (medical, psychological, legal, financial, or pastoral), or parental judgment. Retellings are nondenominational and we make no warranty as to doctrinal or translational accuracy or alignment with any particular tradition. The Protected Parties assume no responsibility for any decision made or action taken in reliance on the Application's content.
Health, Wellness, and Safe Use
Features such as breathing exercises, bedtime routines, ambient sounds, and sleep-oriented content are offered for general relaxation and enjoyment only. They are not medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice or treatment, and they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, including sleep disorders. Consult a qualified professional with any health concerns. You are responsible for safe device use, including setting an appropriate, child-safe listening volume (especially with headphones), supervising nighttime device use, and following your device manufacturer's safety guidance. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PROTECTED PARTIES DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE USE OF THESE FEATURES.
No Liability for Data Loss
Progress, favorites, recordings, and settings are stored on your device and, where you have enabled it, in your own iCloud account. We do not operate servers and cannot recover lost data. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Protected Parties are not liable for any loss of data, including loss caused by deletion of the Application, device failure, iCloud behavior, or software updates.
Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Protected Parties from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Application; (b) your violation of this Agreement; (c) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party; or (d) any claim brought by or on behalf of a child in your care relating to the Application.
Dispute Resolution — Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Informal Resolution First
Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at Miltonbot@icloud.com with a written description of your concern and give us sixty (60) days to resolve it informally. Most concerns can be resolved quickly and amicably this way.
Binding Arbitration
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Application that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, administered in accordance with the rules of a recognized arbitration provider in the United States. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies.
Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND FIREFLY: BIBLE BEDTIME STORIES EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES ONLY.
Your Right to Opt Out
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing Miltonbot@icloud.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within thirty (30) days of first using the Application. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provision of this Agreement.
Time Limit on Claims
To the maximum extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Application must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arises, or it is permanently barred.

iCloud
If you enable iCloud on your device, certain progress data syncs through your own iCloud account. iCloud is operated by Apple under Apple's terms and privacy policy; we have no access to, control over, or responsibility for iCloud or data stored in it.
Optional Third-Party Voice Service
The Application includes an optional feature that can generate narration using the ElevenLabs text-to-speech service.

If you send us suggestions, ideas, or other feedback (including through the in-app feedback feature), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose without compensation, attribution, or obligation to you. Please do not include personal information about a child in feedback.
Force Majeure

No Waiver; Assignment; Survival
Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement is not a waiver of that provision or of our right to enforce it later. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights under it; any attempted assignment is void. We may assign this Agreement without restriction. All provisions that by their nature should survive termination of this Agreement do survive, including intellectual property provisions, warranty disclaimers, the release, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution.

Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if reformation is not possible, that provision will be severed, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
