Terms of Use

The agreement between you and us when you use Holy Minutes. Last updated 3 October 2026.

Who we are

Holy Minutes (the “App”) is provided by System Two GmbH, Wollgrasstr. 16, 33154 Salzkotten, Germany (“we”, “us”). Contact: team@holyminutes.com.

These terms govern your use of the App, our website and any purchase you make in them. Please read them carefully. Where you got the App from the Apple App Store, Apple may enforce these terms as a third-party beneficiary, although the agreement is between you and us alone.

At a glance

• Holy Minutes is meant for consumers, for personal and non-commercial use.
• You must be an adult under the law of your country to use it.
• The Bible text and reading are free. Membership is a paid subscription that renews automatically until you cancel it.
• European and UK consumers have a right of withdrawal, described below.

What Holy Minutes is

Holy Minutes offers the World English Bible, a feed of Christian content chosen for you, an optional check-in, reminders and, with Membership, Explain (answers about a card, with sources) and Listen (Scripture read aloud).

The Bible text is the public-domain World English Bible, shown word for word. Recommendations and Explain answers are produced with the help of AI models. They can be incomplete or wrong, they are not a substitute for your church, a pastor or a professional, and nothing in the App is medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.

Holy Minutes is not a crisis service. If you are in danger or thinking about harming yourself, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line right away.

Your account

The App creates an anonymous account for each installation, without a name or email. You can delete it with everything stored for it at any time under You → Privacy → Delete my data; see how deletion works. Deleting the App or your data does not cancel a subscription: cancel it in your App Store or Google Play settings.

We may suspend or close an account that is used in breach of these terms, in particular for abuse of the service, after telling you where that is reasonably possible.

Content and rights

Except for the public-domain Bible text and works used under their own licences (listed in the App under You → Licenses), the App, its design, text, images, audio and software belong to us or our licensors. All rights are reserved. You may use the App only as provided and may share cards with the sharing feature the App offers.

What you write in the App (for example check-ins and answers) stays yours. You allow us to process it only to provide the service, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the App in breach of the law or of other people's rights;
• copy, resell or exploit the App or its content commercially;
• reverse engineer, scrape or interfere with the App, its servers or its security, or use automated means to access it;
• misuse the AI features, for example to generate unlawful, hateful or harmful content, or to overload the service;
• use the App to harm minors in any way. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation and report it to the authorities.

Content on third-party websites the App links to is the responsibility of their operators.

Membership

Membership unlocks the features described in the App before purchase. The plans, prices, any free trial and the billing period are shown on the purchase screen before you confirm. Prices include the taxes your store applies.

Buying through the App Store or Google Play

• Payment is charged to your Apple Account or Google account when you confirm the purchase.
• The subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the current period ends. The renewal is charged within the 24 hours before the period ends.
• You can manage or cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep Membership until the end of the period you paid for.
• Refunds for store purchases are handled by Apple or Google under their own rules.

Free trial

Where a free trial is offered, it lasts for the period shown on the purchase screen and is available once. Unless you cancel before it ends, it turns into the paid subscription you chose, and the first payment is charged when it ends.

Buying on our website

Purchases on holyminutes.com are processed by our subscription provider Superwall and its payment provider. The same renewal and cancellation terms apply; you can cancel through the link in your purchase email or by writing to us. Activate the subscription in the App with the link from that email.

Right of withdrawal (EU and UK consumers)

If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you can withdraw from a purchase within 14 days of the contract without giving a reason. To do so, send us a clear statement, for example by email to team@holyminutes.com, before the period ends. We refund all payments made to us without undue delay and no later than 14 days after receiving it, using the same means of payment.

If you asked for the service to begin during the withdrawal period, you pay an amount in proportion to what was provided until you withdrew. For digital content, the right of withdrawal ends once its supply has begun with your express consent and your acknowledgement that you lose the right. For purchases through the App Store or Google Play, withdrawal and refunds are carried out through Apple or Google.

Model withdrawal form: To System Two GmbH, Wollgrasstr. 16, 33154 Salzkotten, Germany, team@holyminutes.com: I hereby withdraw from my contract for the following service: Holy Minutes Membership. Ordered on / received on: … Name: … Address: … Date: …

Warranty

Consumers in the EU and UK have the statutory rights for digital content and services that conform to the contract; nothing in these terms limits them. Because the App runs on third-party devices, stores and networks, we cannot promise that it is always available or free of errors, and we may change, add or remove features as long as Membership keeps the features you paid for in substance.

Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under mandatory law such as product liability. For slight negligence we are liable only for breaches of essential contractual obligations (those that make the contract possible and that you may rely on), limited to the damage typical and foreseeable for this kind of contract. Otherwise our liability is excluded.

Users in the United States

To the extent permitted by law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Some states do not allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your breach of these terms or misuse of the App, to the extent permitted by law.

General

• Changes. We may update these terms, for example for new features or legal requirements. We tell you about material changes in the App or on this page before they take effect. If you do not agree, you can stop using the App and cancel Membership.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a right, that does not waive it.
• Severability. If a provision is invalid, the rest of these terms stays in force.
• Assignment. We may transfer this contract to a company that takes over the App, without reducing your rights.
• Governing law. German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring claims in its courts.
• Disputes. We are not obliged and not willing to take part in dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board. Please write to us first; we will try to solve it.
