Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-10-08

These terms are an agreement between you and Pediaca, LLC ("we", "us"), a Delaware limited liability company with its address at 1111B S Governors Ave, Ste 81429, Dover, DE 19904, USA, for the Ankyra app (iPhone and iPad, its widgets and Apple Watch app) and the website ankyra.app. Company details are in our Legal notice.

When you download the app from the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple EULA") also applies. If these terms and the Apple EULA conflict, these terms prevail, except for the parts of the Apple EULA that protect Apple. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live ("your consumer rights"); see "Your consumer rights" below.

Who can use it

You must be at least 16 years old to use Ankyra. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms for you.

The app

Ankyra is free to download. Some features need an optional purchase ("Ankyra Plus"). The app shows what is free and what is paid, with the price, before you buy. The content you create in the app is yours; we don't claim any rights over it.

Scripture and devotional content

Ankyra shows Bible text from public-domain and openly licensed translations, listed with their licenses on our Translations and licenses page; each translation's license applies to its text. Reflections, questions and prayers are short devotional content written ahead of time. Nothing in Ankyra is written by AI, and it is not pastoral, medical, psychological or legal advice.

If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line right away. The app shows crisis lines for some countries; they are run by independent organizations, not by us.

"I can't afford it": you can get Ankyra Plus free for six months, with no questions, from the app. It is stored on your device, ends on its own and doesn't renew. We may change or end this offer for future requests; it never affects what is already free.

Purchases and subscriptions

• Purchases are made through the App Store and billed by Apple to your Apple Account, under Apple's terms. We never see your payment details.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period (monthly or yearly, as shown before you buy) at the price then in effect, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged within 24 hours before the start of the new period.
• Free trial: if a plan includes a free trial (7 days), you are not charged until it ends, and the subscription starts automatically when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before. We remind you in the app before the trial ends.
• Cancel any time in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or from the app (Settings → Membership, which opens Apple's subscription page). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you keep access until then.
• Price changes: we may change subscription prices for future periods to reflect changes in costs, taxes, currency exchange rates or the features we offer. Apple notifies you in advance; where the law or Apple's rules require your consent to a price increase, the subscription only renews at the new price if you agree, and you can always cancel before the change takes effect.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies and your consumer rights: request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
• Your data is yours whether or not you pay. Exporting it is always free, and stopping a subscription never deletes what you logged.

Your consumer rights

• EU, EEA and UK: in these regions the App Store purchase is concluded with Apple Distribution International Ltd., which handles your right of withdrawal: you can cancel a purchase within 14 days of receiving the receipt (see Apple's Media Services Terms). Because the app's paid features are digital content supplied immediately, Apple asks you before purchase to agree that supply starts right away and to acknowledge that you then lose the right of withdrawal. You also keep your legal rights if the app is faulty (does not conform to the contract).
• Brazil: nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Defense Code (CDC), including the right of withdrawal (art. 49) where it applies. Request it at reportaproblem.apple.com; if you have any problem, write to hello@ankyra.app and we will help you resolve it.
• Japan: see the notation under the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions in our Legal notice.
• Everywhere: these terms do not exclude or limit any right that cannot be excluded or limited by contract under the law of your country.

Acceptable use

Don't copy, resell, reverse engineer (except where the law allows it), interfere with or misuse the app or the website, and don't use them to break the law.

Changes to the app and to these terms

We improve the app over time. We may add, change or remove features for valid reasons (for example security, legal requirements, technical changes or to keep the app sustainable), without extra cost to you. If a change materially and negatively affects your access to paid features, we will tell you in advance, and if you are a consumer in the EU you may end the contract free of charge as the law provides. If we change these terms in a way that matters, we will update the date above and tell you in the app before the changes apply; if you don't agree, you can stop using the app and cancel your subscription.

Warranty

We provide the app with reasonable care and skill, but we can't promise that it will always be available or free of errors. You keep all statutory rights for digital content and services (for example the legal guarantee of conformity in the EU and UK); nothing in these terms limits them.

Liability

1. We are liable without limitation for damage caused by our intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under mandatory product liability laws, and in any other case where liability cannot be limited by law.
2. In cases of slight (ordinary) negligence, we are liable only for breach of an essential obligation (one that makes it possible to perform the contract and on which you can normally rely), and only for damage that was typical and foreseeable when you started using the app.
3. Subject to points 1 and 2 and only where the law allows it, our total liability for slight negligence is limited to the amount you paid for Ankyra in the 12 months before the claim.

These limitations do not apply where the mandatory law of your country does not allow them.

Ending the agreement

You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it (and cancelling any subscription in your Apple Account). We may suspend or end your use of the app if you seriously breach these terms, after warning you where possible.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you habitually live, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country. Before going to court, please write to hello@ankyra.app: most problems are solved quickly that way. We are not obliged and do not commit to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Language

These terms are written in English and offered in other languages for your convenience. If the versions differ, the English version prevails, except where the law of your country requires the version in your language to apply or where the version in your language is more favorable to you.
