Please read these terms before using Devar. They are written plainly and fairly. If anything is unclear, email us at hello@devar.app.
Last updated: 1 April 2026 · Version 1.0
By accessing or using Devar (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are using the Service on behalf of a church, organisation, or other legal entity ("Organisation"), you represent that you have authority to bind that Organisation to these Terms. If you do not have such authority, or do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
Devar provides software for real-time scripture suggestion and projection during church services, including:
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue features of the Service at any time with reasonable notice to registered users.
You must register for an account to use the Service. You agree to:
One account is provided per individual. Accounts may not be shared between users. Organisations on multi-seat plans must provision individual accounts for each user.
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:
Your translation files. Devar is designed to work with licensed Bible translation files that you supply. You are solely responsible for obtaining appropriate licences from the relevant publisher for any translation text you load into the system. Devar does not include, distribute, or sublicense any Bible translation text.
Our intellectual property. The Devar software, brand, and documentation are owned by Devar Technologies Ltd and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights to our intellectual property beyond the right to use the Service as described herein.
Your content. You retain full ownership of all service data, transcripts, verse selections, and any other content you create through the Service. By using cloud archive features, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to store and transmit that content solely for the purpose of providing the Service.
The Service integrates with third-party providers (OpenAI, Google Cloud) for optional online transcription and AI summarisation. Use of these features is subject to the respective providers' terms and privacy policies. You are responsible for providing valid API keys and for any charges incurred through those providers. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or output of third-party AI services.
Paid plans are billed on a monthly basis via Stripe. By providing payment details, you authorise Devar to charge you on the agreed billing cycle. All fees are stated exclusive of VAT or applicable taxes, which will be added where required by law. Prices may change with 30 days' notice to registered subscribers. Charges are non-refundable except where required by law or at our discretion.
By you. You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Your data remains accessible for 30 days after cancellation, after which it is permanently deleted from our servers. Audio archives stored in your own storage bucket are unaffected.
By us. We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these Terms, fail to pay fees when due, or if we are required to do so by law. We will give reasonable notice except where immediate action is required for security or legal reasons.
We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Devar is architected to run locally — your backend transcription and verse ranking will continue to function even if our web servers are unreachable. Scheduled maintenance will be communicated in advance. We are not liable for downtime caused by factors outside our control (infrastructure providers, DNS, internet connectivity).
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT (TRANSCRIPTIONS, VERSE SUGGESTIONS, SERMON SUMMARIES) WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.
You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of any Bible verse before projecting it during a service.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DEVAR TECHNOLOGIES LTD AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Devar Technologies Ltd and its personnel from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; (c) your use of Bible translation files without appropriate licensing.
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation. If unresolved after 30 days, disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief.
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the law, our services, or our operating practices. We will notify registered users by email at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service before the effective date.
