Terms of Service

Last updated: 14 October 2026

GreekByVerse is a website that teaches you to read the Greek New Testament. These Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Terms of Service”), together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you ("You" or the "User") and GreekByVerse (“we”, “us”, or “our”). If you do not agree with or cannot comply with this Agreement, then you may not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms form a binding agreement when you create an account or sign in. The sign-in page states that, by signing in, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy.

If you continue to use the signed-in course after we post a revised version of these Terms, you accept that revised version.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least eighteen years of age. GreekByVerse is not directed to children. We do not knowingly open or keep an account for anyone under eighteen. If we learn that an account belongs to a child, we will close it and delete the learning record associated with it.

Each account is for one person. You sign in with an emailed code or link, or with Google.

You must use an email address that you control, because the sign-in code and link are sent to that address. You are responsible for access to that email and for all activity under your account. If you sign in with Google, Google shares your name, email address, and profile picture, which Supabase stores with the sign-in record.

Your account holds the lessons you have finished, the record of which words are due for review, the answers you choose, the results of any placement, the number of days you have practiced, and a display name. If you sign in with Google, we copy the name Google shares into that field when the account is created. If you sign in with email, the field starts empty. You can change the name on the Profile page. The account does not hold a statement of religious belief or a method of payment.

You may close your account at any time from the Profile page by typing the word “delete”. Closing the account removes your sign-in and that learning record. Settings that remain only in your browser — your choice of appearance, whether listening exercises and unread-verse markers are on, which verses you have already opened, and whether the verse list shows only passages you have unlocked — are not removed when we delete the account. The Privacy Policy explains how to clear them.

We may refuse a new account, or close an existing account, if these Terms are broken.

3. Fees

The course is free. We do not charge for an account, a lesson, or continued access. We do not ask for a card, and we do not sell a subscription. Because nothing is charged, there is nothing to renew, cancel, or refund.

4. Acceptable Use

We grant you a personal right to study with GreekByVerse. You agree that you will not:

There is no place in the course to post writing, comments, or recordings. The only responses you submit are choices within a lesson.

5. Intellectual Property

We own the name GreekByVerse, the arrangement of the lessons, and the design of the exercises. You receive a personal permission to use them for your own study while your account remains open. That permission cannot be transferred, and it ends when the account is closed.

The Greek wording in the lessons is the Society of Biblical Literature Greek New Testament, as presented in the Morphological Greek New Testament, which is made available under a Creative Commons Attribution license. We do not claim ownership of the biblical text. The public site credits those sources.

The short English sense shown for a single word is from the Dodson lexicon, which is in the public domain. The English line shown with a verse is the Berean Literal Bible. A tap on a Greek word can show an interlinear hint from Macula Greek. Titles of reading units use Berean Standard Bible section headings. The Berean texts and the Macula hints remain the property of their publishers. Your permission is to read them inside the course. It is not a right to copy the body of lessons, or the sound, into another product.

Sound in a lesson is speech we prepared in advance from the course Greek, read in modern Greek. It is not a recording of your voice. You may play it within a lesson. You may not collect it or offer it elsewhere.

If you send us a suggestion, we may use that suggestion without payment and without an obligation to credit you.

6. Third-Party Services

Parts of the course are provided with the help of other companies:

Each of those companies applies its own terms to its own systems. An interruption that is solely theirs may interrupt a lesson.

We do not use an advertising network. We do not use a payment company.

7. Links to Other Websites or Services

Our Service may contain links to third party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by GreekByVerse. They are not part of GreekByVerse, and we do not operate them.

The lessons do not send you to another website. If you follow a link, you leave this course. Your browser then deals with that site directly. We do not send your account or your learning record with the link.

That site’s own terms, and the material published there, are its responsibility. We do not control the site, and we are not responsible for its content, its availability, or any loss that arises from your use of it. A credit link is not an endorsement beyond the attribution of the Greek text, and it is not a promise that the site will remain available.

8. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

GreekByVerse is a study aid for reading the Greek New Testament. It is not a seminary, a translation service, pastoral counsel, or a certificate that you are able to read the New Testament.

The English shown in an exercise is a short study sense or a literal line. It is not a finished translation. The course does not teach grammar as a separate subject.

Where sound is offered, it is a modern Greek reading of the written words. It is not a claim about how the New Testament was spoken in the first century. Where we have not prepared sound, the exercise is presented in writing.

The figures shown in the course — the portion of the New Testament covered by the lessons you have completed, the words you have met, the verses you have unlocked, and the days you have practiced — record your activity in the course. They are not a credential.

We may correct, reorder, or withdraw lessons, and the site may be unavailable from time to time. We do not warrant that a particular verse will remain in a particular lesson, or that access will be uninterrupted.

We take reasonable care of your account. No method of sending or storing information over the internet is perfectly secure, and we do not warrant that it is.

The course is provided as it stands and as it is available. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss arising from reliance on a study sense in teaching, preaching, or publication, or for time spent in study. Our total liability for a direct claim relating to the course is limited to the amount you paid us for the course in the twelve months before the claim. That amount is nothing, because the course is free.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, or any other liability that the law of your country of residence does not allow a contract to exclude or limit. If you are a consumer, you keep the mandatory rights of that country.

9. Indemnification

If a third party brings a claim against us because you broke these Terms, misused your account, or republished the lessons, the English study text, or the sound beyond the permission in section 5, you will indemnify us against the loss that claim causes, including reasonable legal expenses. This promise does not require you to indemnify us for our own fault. Where the law of your country of residence restricts a promise of this kind, this section applies only to the extent that law allows.

10. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The courts in Singapore have exclusive jurisdiction over a dispute arising from these Terms or from the course.

11. Termination

You may stop using GreekByVerse at any time by closing your account on the Profile page, as section 2 describes.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks section 4. We may also discontinue the course.

After the account is closed, the learning record is removed as the Privacy Policy describes. A backup copy may remain with our provider until that provider’s backup period ends. We do not use that copy in the course.

Sections 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10, and any obligation that has already arisen, continue after the account ends.

12. Changes to Terms

We will post any revised Terms on this page and change the date at the top. If a change would introduce a charge, or would narrow your permission to study, we will also bring that change to your attention in the course or by email before it applies. If you continue to use your account after the posted date, the revised Terms apply. If you do not agree to them, close your account.
