APP LICENSING

App Licensing

Licensing for the Online Bible Widget v1.2 Alpha (web) and our iOS app (currently King James Version only). Web licensing covers all 15 translations supported in the widget; the iOS license is limited to the KJV at this time.

1) License Grant — Web (Widget v1.2 Alpha)

Scope. Non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to embed the widget on the approved domains you list (subdomains included unless restricted).

Included. Embeddable widget code, configuration for up to 15 translations, updates we release during Alpha, and basic integration guidance.

Not included. Any rights to translation texts; hosting; custom engineering; data exports; or native-app use.

Term. Month-to-month during Alpha; either party may terminate on notice (see §10).

2) License Grant — iOS (KJV-Only)

Scope. Non-exclusive, non-transferable license to deploy our iOS app that displays the KJV only. Other translations are not licensed for iOS under this page.

Distribution. We support Apple’s Custom App distribution so the app can be made available privately to your organization via Apple Business Manager / App Store Connect, or published to your own Apple Developer account as a designated custom listing. (Apple’s Custom Apps allow private distribution to specific organizations identified by ID.)

App Store compliance. Your deployment must comply with Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines (including Legal §5.2 Intellectual Property).

Limitations. No Android or other native platforms under this license. Any non-KJV iOS content requires a separate written agreement and publisher permissions.

3) Acceptable Use

  • Keep LWB attribution (“Powered by Living Word Bibles”) and any translation notices intact.
  • No removal/obfuscation of watermarks, source attributions, or license text.
  • No scraping, mass export, offline packaging, or automated bulk requests.
  • No unlawful content, spam, deceptive practices, or uses violating publisher terms.

4) Branding & Attribution

Display the LWB credit line near the widget/app or in your site/app About screen. Show each translation’s required notices when that translation is displayed (see §7).

5) Implementation & Performance

We may serve assets via CDNs and rate-limit abuse to protect service quality. You’re responsible for page/app performance, SEO, and consent banners where applicable.

6) Privacy

The widget/app doesn’t intentionally collect end-user PII beyond standard logs/CDN telemetry. Your site/app must provide any required privacy/consent notices for your analytics, ads, or cookies.

7) Scripture Text Permissions

Web. This license covers the widget only; rights in non-KJV translations are publisher-specific and may require written permission and specific attributions.

iOS (KJV-only). The KJV is public domain in most countries; however, in the United Kingdom the Authorized Version rights are administered under Crown/Letters Patent (Cambridge/Oxford/Collins). If you distribute or make the KJV available in the UK, consult the rights holder’s guidance and obtain permissions as needed.

8) Fees & Ordering

Pricing is per organization and domain (web) and/or per organization (iOS KJV). Provide your entity name, contact, domains, expected traffic, and whether you’ll use Apple Custom App distribution or another supported path.

9) Updates & Support (Alpha)

Alpha status. Features may change; backward compatibility isn’t guaranteed.

Support. Best-effort email support during business hours (US Eastern). No uptime/SLA commitments during Alpha.

10) Termination

Either party may terminate for convenience with 10 days’ notice, or immediately for material breach. On termination, remove the widget/app and cease use of LWB marks.

11) Warranty & Liability

Provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. LWB disclaims all implied warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law and isn’t liable for indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits/revenue/goodwill.

12) Compliance & Indemnity

You represent that your site/app and your use of translations comply with applicable law, publisher policies, and Apple’s rules. You agree to indemnify LWB against third-party claims arising from your implementation, content, or non-compliance.

13) Governing Law

Indiana, USA, without regard to conflicts rules; venue in state/federal courts located in Indiana.
