Rhema - Terms of Service

Last updated: 12 July 2026 Effective: Upon publication on rhema.store

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Rhema, the real-time scripture detection application and associated cloud services. Please read them carefully. By installing, accessing or using Rhema, or by subscribing to a paid plan, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Rhema is operated by David Adebiyi, trading as Rhema, a sole trader established in the United Kingdom (“Rhema”, “we”, “us”, “our”). For any query, contact us at hello@rhema.store.

1. Definitions

In these Terms, unless the context requires otherwise:

• “Rhema” means the Rhema desktop application, the associated cloud services, and any updates, components and Documentation provided by us.
• “Customer”, “you” or “your” means the church, ministry or organisation that subscribes to or uses Rhema, and any individual acting on its behalf.
• “Operator” means an individual person who operates Rhema on the Customer’s behalf.
• “Seat” means a single concurrent Operator licence. The number of Seats included in a Subscription is determined by the plan and seat tier selected.
• “Device” means a single computer on which the Rhema application is installed and bound under your Subscription.
• “Free”, “Pro” and “Max” mean the corresponding tiers of Rhema described in clause 6 and on rhema.store.
• “Subscription” means a paid plan (Pro or Max) to which the Customer subscribes, billed monthly or annually.
• “Cloud Hours” means the metered cloud transcription allowance included with a Subscription, as described in clause 7.
• “Documentation” means the user guidance, help materials and specifications we make available for Rhema.
• “Sub-processor” means a third party engaged by us to process data in connection with the cloud features of Rhema, as described in our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement.

2. The agreement and acceptance

2.1 These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy (rhema.store/privacy) and, where applicable, our Data Processing Agreement (rhema.store/dpa (provided to subscribing churches on request)), form the agreement between you and us.

2.2 You accept these Terms by installing or using Rhema, by creating an account, or by completing checkout for a Subscription, whichever happens first.

2.3 Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old and authorised to enter into these Terms on behalf of the Customer organisation. By accepting, you represent that you have such authority and that the organisation will be bound by these Terms.

3. Licence grant

3.1 Subject to your compliance with these Terms and, for paid tiers, payment of the applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to install and use Rhema for your own internal church or ministry purposes, on the number of Seats and Devices permitted by your plan.

3.2 The licence subsists only for the duration of your active Subscription (or, for the Free tier, while you comply with these Terms). All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us.

4. Restrictions

You must not, and must not permit any third party to:

(a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of Rhema, except to the extent this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law;

(b) circumvent, disable, tamper with or interfere with the licensing, metering or anti-tamper protections embedded in Rhema;

(c) rent, lease, lend, resell, sublicense, distribute or otherwise make Rhema available to any third party, or operate it as a service bureau;

(d) use Rhema, or any of its outputs, components or underlying technology, to build, train or assist a product or service that competes with Rhema;

(e) copy, modify or create derivative works of Rhema except as expressly permitted; or

(f) use Rhema for any unlawful, infringing or harmful purpose, or in breach of clause 12 (Acceptable use).

5. Accounts, Seats and Devices

5.1 A Seat represents one concurrent Operator. Your Subscription includes the number of Seats for your selected seat tier (1, 5, 10 or 20).

5.2 Rhema binds your licence to specific Devices. The Free tier permits use on one Device. Paid tiers permit Device use up to the limits of your plan, enforced by the application.

5.3 You can deactivate a Device in-app to release it and bind another, subject to your Seat and Device limits. Seat and Device limits are enforced by the application’s licensing.

5.4 You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your account credentials and licence keys secure.

6. Subscriptions, billing and renewal

6.1 Tiers and pricing (in GBP, excluding VAT; current values):

• Free - on-device/offline only; 1 Device; KJV and other public-domain Bible text only; direct-quote detection.
• Pro - from £29/month (1 Seat). Seat tiers 1 / 5 / 10 / 20 = £29 / £59 / £99 / £169 per month. Includes cloud detection (paraphrase and allusion), main translations and built-in output.
• Max - from £89/month (1 Seat). Seat tiers 1 / 5 / 10 / 20 = £89 / £149 / £249 / £429 per month. Everything in Pro, plus all translations, real-time display translation and text-to-speech.

6.2 Billing. Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually in advance. Annual plans receive a 15% discount and are charged upfront for the full year.

6.3 Payments. Payments are processed through Stripe’s hosted checkout. Rhema never handles or stores your card details. You manage your Subscription - upgrades, downgrades, payment method, invoices and cancellation - through the Stripe customer portal.

6.4 Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) at the then-current price, until cancelled. Cancelling stops future renewals; see clause 8.

6.5 VAT. All prices exclude VAT and any other applicable taxes, which will be added where required.

6.6 Price changes. We may change our prices. For existing Subscriptions, we will give you reasonable advance notice (at least 30 days) before a change takes effect, and the change will apply from your next renewal. If you do not accept the new price, you may cancel before it takes effect.

6.7 Failed payments and dunning. If a payment fails, we (via Stripe) may retry the charge over a short period. If payment remains unpaid, we may suspend or downgrade your access to paid features and, ultimately, terminate your Subscription. On downgrade or non-payment, the application falls back to Free-tier capabilities.

7. Cloud Hours and fair use

7.1 Allowance. Paid Subscriptions include 8 hours of cloud transcription per Operator Seat per month (for example, 1 / 5 / 10 / 20 Seats include 8 / 40 / 80 / 160 hours).

7.2 Warnings and limits. The application gives a soft warning at 80% of your allowance and applies a hard stop at 100%. At the limit, Rhema automatically falls back to offline detection so that you can continue to use the app.

7.3 No rollover. Unused Cloud Hours do not roll over to the next period. Each period’s allowance is fresh.

7.4 Top-up bundles. Optional hour top-up bundles (3-hour, 8-hour and 20-hour, priced per tier) are available. Top-up bundles are consumed within the billing period in which they are purchased and likewise do not roll over.

7.5 Metering. Metering is best-effort. In-flight transcription sessions are never interrupted mid-session by the limit; the limit is applied at the start of subsequent sessions.

8. Cancellation and refunds

This clause reflects the UK Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

8.1 Statutory right to cancel (consumers). Where the Customer contracts as a consumer, a 14-day right to cancel normally applies to distance contracts.

8.2 Loss of the cancellation right on immediate access. Rhema is supplied as digital content and as a service that begins immediately on purchase. By requesting immediate access, you consent to performance beginning at once and acknowledge that you lose the 14-day right to cancel to the extent the service has been supplied. At checkout you agree to the following:

“I consent to immediate access to Rhema and acknowledge that by doing so, I lose my 14-day right to cancel this purchase.”

8.3 Business customers. Most church and ministry customers contract as businesses, in which case the statutory consumer cancellation right may not apply. The immediate-access consent in clause 8.2 is captured regardless of how you contract.

8.4 Refund stance. Except where required by law or granted at our discretion, we do not provide refunds for partial billing periods, or for Cloud Hours or top-up bundles that have been used or consumed, once access has begun.

8.5 Effect of cancellation. Cancelling your Subscription stops future renewals. Your access to paid features continues until the end of the period you have already paid for, after which the application reverts to the Free tier.

9. Data protection

9.1 Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy at rhema.store/privacy.

9.2 Where we process sermon audio, detection content or other personal data on the Customer’s behalf, our Data Processing Agreement at rhema.store/dpa (provided to subscribing churches on request) applies and sets out the roles, instructions and Sub-processors involved.

9.3 In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Data Processing Agreement on matters of data processing, the Data Processing Agreement prevails.

10. Bible text and translations

10.1 On the Free tier, Rhema provides the KJV and other public-domain Bible text only.

10.2 On paid tiers, additional translations are delivered through a third-party Bible-text provider. Non-public-domain translations are subject to the relevant rights-holders’ terms, are provided for live display only, and must not be stored, copied, archived or redistributed by you beyond such live display.

10.3 The availability of particular translations may change due to the terms or decisions of the rights-holders or our providers, and we do not guarantee the continued availability of any non-public-domain translation.

11. Intellectual property

11.1 Rhema, including the application, its underlying technology, models, design and Documentation, and all intellectual property rights in them, are and remain owned by us and our licensors. These Terms grant you a licence to use Rhema, not any ownership of it.

11.2 You retain ownership of the content you create, provide or display through Rhema (such as your own slides, notes and presentation material). You grant us only the rights necessary to operate the service and provide the features you use.

12. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Rhema to:

(a) violate any applicable law or regulation, or infringe the rights of any third party (including copyright in Bible translations or other content);

(b) transmit unlawful, defamatory, harassing or malicious content;

(c) introduce malware, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to, disrupt or impair Rhema, our systems or any third-party systems;

(d) place unreasonable or disproportionate load on the cloud services, or use automated means to abuse metering or fair-use limits; or

(e) misuse the service in any way inconsistent with these Terms or the Documentation.

13. Third-party services, dependencies and availability

13.1 Rhema’s cloud features depend on an active internet connection and on third-party providers, including a cloud speech-to-text provider, a language-processing provider, a translation provider, a text-to-speech provider and a Bible-text provider. Payment is processed by Stripe, a third party you contract with directly for checkout.

13.2 Rhema is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee any particular level of uptime, availability or uninterrupted operation unless we have agreed a separate written service level agreement (SLA) with you.

13.3 We are not responsible for failures or interruptions caused by your internet connection, your hardware, or third-party providers outside our reasonable control. The application’s offline detection is designed to allow continued use where cloud features are unavailable.

14. Warranties, disclaimers and limitation of liability

14.1 Disclaimer. To the maximum extent permitted by law, and except as expressly stated in these Terms, we disclaim all warranties, conditions and representations, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that scripture detection will be complete, accurate or error-free; you remain responsible for what is displayed and sent to your output systems.

14.2 Liability not excluded. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

14.3 Cap on liability. Subject to clause 14.2, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to us for Rhema in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

14.4 Excluded losses. Subject to clause 14.2, we shall not be liable for any indirect, special or consequential loss, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, anticipated savings, or loss or corruption of data, however arising.

15. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with (a) your unlawful or unauthorised use of Rhema; (b) your breach of these Terms; or (c) any content you provide, display or transmit through Rhema, including any infringement of third-party rights.

16. Suspension and termination

16.1 We may suspend or terminate your access to Rhema (in whole or in part) if you materially breach these Terms, fail to pay fees when due, or use Rhema in a way that risks harm to us, other users or third parties.

16.2 You may terminate by cancelling your Subscription as described in clause 8 and ceasing use of Rhema.

16.3 Effect of termination. On termination, your licence ends and you must stop using Rhema. Clauses that by their nature should survive (including clauses 4, 11, 14, 15, 18 and 19) continue to apply. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except as set out in clause 8 or as required by law.

17. Changes to the service and to these Terms

17.1 We continually improve Rhema and may add, change or remove features, including translations and cloud capabilities, provided we do not materially reduce the core functionality of your paid tier without notice.

17.2 We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will give you reasonable advance notice (for example by in-app notice or email). Continued use of Rhema after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a material change, you may cancel before it takes effect.

18. Governing law, jurisdiction and general

18.1 Governing law. These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of England & Wales.

18.2 Jurisdiction. The courts of England & Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, save that nothing prevents a consumer from bringing proceedings in their place of residence where permitted by law.

18.3 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and (where applicable) the Data Processing Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and us and supersede any prior agreements on their subject matter.

18.4 Severability. If any provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force, and the invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

18.5 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to a successor in connection with a reorganisation, merger or sale.

18.6 Notices. We may give notice by in-app message or to the email address associated with your account. You may give notice to us at hello@rhema.store.

18.7 Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including internet or third-party provider failures, power outages, or acts of God.

18.8 No waiver. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
