1. Description of Service

Ask Bishop is a Bible study companion that provides AI-powered Q&A, daily devotionals, Bible reading, sermon journaling, and related study tools. The App uses artificial intelligence (Anthropic Claude) to generate responses. AI-generated content is for personal study and reflection only and should not be treated as authoritative theological counsel.

You can manage or cancel your subscription in your device's Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
No refunds are provided for partial billing periods. Refund requests should be directed to Apple.

7. AI Disclaimer

AI-generated responses are produced by machine learning models and may contain errors, inaccuracies, or incomplete information. Ask Bishop is not a substitute for pastoral counsel, professional advice, or personal Bible study. All AI content should be verified against Scripture.
