What this is
Amos Standard is a study tool. It searches a library of Christian texts — Scripture, confessions, commentaries, classic works, hymns, and prayers — and answers questions using what it finds, citing its sources so you can check them.
By using it, you agree to what is written here.
What this is not
It is not a pastor, a counsellor, or a church. It does not know you, does not have the standing to absolve, advise, or decide anything for you, and is not a substitute for the people God has actually placed around you.
It is not professional advice. Nothing here is medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice.
It is not emergency help. If you are in danger, or thinking of harming yourself, the app cannot help you. In the United States, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), or call 911. Outside the United States, call your local emergency number or a crisis service in your country. Please reach a person who can be with you.
It is not confession, and it is not privileged. The prayer journal is private, and we go to some length to keep it that way. But private is not the same as protected. What you write to a priest or a pastor in confidence can be shielded by law; what you write here is not, because we are not clergy and this is not a confessional. If a court ever ordered us to hand over data, nothing about this app would stop it. We tell you this because the alternative is letting you assume otherwise.
About the answers
The answers are generated by an AI model working from retrieved texts. When the library supports an answer, the app shows the sources the model cited. That design makes an answer checkable; it does not make it correct. The model can omit a citation, misread a passage, miss context, or state something the cited source does not support.
Read the sources. They are shown for exactly that reason. When an answer matters, the source is the authority, not the answer.
The app can be set to a Christian tradition, and answers reflect that setting. This is a tool for study within a tradition, not a ruling on which tradition is right.
Your account
You need a Google account to sign in. Keep access to it secure; what happens under your account is your responsibility. You must be at least 18 years old.
What you may not do
- Use the app to harass, threaten, or abuse anyone.
- Attempt to break, overload, or gain unauthorised access to the service.
- Scrape or bulk-extract the corpus or the generated answers.
- Resell access, or present the answers as the work of a human pastor or scholar.
What you write stays yours
You keep whatever rights you have in your notes, prayers, journal entries, questions, and other material you submit. We do not claim ownership of them.
You give us a non-exclusive licence to store, copy, transmit, and process that material only as needed to provide, secure, and maintain the app for you, comply with law, and enforce these terms. This licence ends when the material is deleted, subject to the short backup and legal-retention periods described in the Privacy Policy. We do not use your content to train AI models, and we do not publish it.
What the AI providers who help answer your questions may do with the text is a separate matter, and we will not blur the two: it is set out, provider by provider, in the Privacy Policy.
You may use the answers. As between you and us, and to the extent the law gives us any rights in an answer generated for you, we assign those rights to you. You may quote it in a lesson, paste it into your notes, or read it aloud to your study group. An AI-generated answer may not qualify for copyright at all, and your answer may be identical or similar to one produced for someone else, so this does not give you exclusive rights in its wording. The source passages remain governed by their own copyright or public-domain status, and this assignment does not transfer anyone else’s rights in them.
If someone else asks the same question, they may get the same answer or one very like it. That is how these models work. An answer written for another person is theirs, not yours.
Feedback. If you write to us with an idea, a complaint, or a description of something that is broken, we may act on it and build it, with no obligation and no payment to you. Telling us the app is wrong about something is a gift, and we would rather receive it than negotiate over it.
The texts in the library
The library consists of works in the public domain and material we are permitted to use. The app is provided for personal study.
Availability and changes
The app is provided as it is. We may change or remove features, and we may have downtime. We do not promise the service will always be available or that your data can never be lost — keep your own copy of anything you would grieve losing.
If these terms change
We may change these terms only for a stated reason: to comply with a change in law or a binding decision; to address a security or abuse risk; to reflect a new, changed, or discontinued feature or provider; to correct a clear error; or to adapt the service to a technical change that we could not reasonably leave unsupported. A change must be proportionate to that reason and will not add a charge without your separate agreement.
For a material change — including one to what you may do, what we may do with your content, or the service’s main features — we will explain the reason, the change, and its effective date at least fourteen days in advance, both in the app and by email to your account address so you can keep the notice. A shorter period applies only when law or an urgent security risk does not reasonably allow fourteen days. If the change alters your contractual obligations or our use of your content materially, it will not bind you until you explicitly accept it in the app. You may instead stop using the service and delete your account before it takes effect, without charge. Minor wording corrections that do not change anyone’s rights or obligations may take effect when published; the date at the top will still change.
Ending it
You may stop using the app at any time and ask us to delete your account (see the Privacy Policy). We may suspend an account that breaks these terms.
Ending your account ends your use of the app, not this agreement’s application to the use you already made of it: the sections on liability, disclaimers, and what the app is not continue to apply to what came before.
Disclaimers and liability
The service is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. To the fullest extent the law allows, Viktar Danilchyk is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the app.
To the fullest extent the law allows, total liability for any claim is limited to what you have paid to use Amos Standard — which, at present, is nothing.
Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law. In particular, nothing here excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law of your country says cannot be signed away. If you are a consumer in the European Union, those protections are yours whatever this page says.
Governing law
Amos Standard is operated from Poland, and these terms are governed by Polish law.
If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protections of the law where you live — including, in the European Union, the mandatory consumer rights that no contract can waive.
