Support and Terms of Use

Terms of Use
Last Updated May 17, 2026

These Terms of Use govern your use of Cephas, a New Testament reading app provided by Andromeda Studios. By using Cephas, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy.

Using Cephas

Cephas provides Scripture reading organization, editorial summaries, historical context, maps, art commentary, Voices, Witness, Inheritance modules, share images, and related reading tools. You may use Cephas for personal, non-commercial reading, study, prayer, and reflection.

Cephas is not a substitute for Scripture itself, pastoral care, spiritual direction, medical advice, legal advice, financial advice, or other professional counsel. Historical, theological, and artistic commentary is provided for education and reflection.

Cephas is an independent publication. It is not an official publication of the Holy See, any diocese, parish, religious order, or other ecclesiastical authority, and its commentary should not be treated as official Church teaching, pastoral direction, or spiritual direction.

Purchases

Cephas may offer one-time, non-consumable in-app purchases, including Voices and Witness, Art Commentary, a bundle, discounted cross-grade products, and Inheritance modules. Prices and availability are displayed by Apple before purchase.

The Voices and Witness plus Art bundle unlocks those premium reading supplements. It does not unlock separately sold Inheritance modules unless the purchase screen or App Store product description expressly says otherwise. Each Inheritance module may be sold separately.

Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Apple handles payment information, taxes, receipts, refunds, Family Sharing availability, and purchase restoration. Family Sharing applies only where Apple makes it available for the specific product and where it is enabled through the relevant Apple settings. You can restore eligible purchases in Settings. Refund requests must be made through Apple.

A lifetime purchase means lifetime access to the purchased Cephas content within the Cephas app for as long as that content and the app remain available and supported, subject to these Terms and App Store rules. It is not a subscription.

Content and Intellectual Property

Cephas includes public-domain source materials, licensed or credited artwork, Scripture references, editorial writing, commentary, design, software, images, and other content. Public-domain source materials remain public domain, but the Cephas app, editorial selection, commentary, presentation, design, and software are protected by intellectual-property laws.

You may not copy, scrape, redistribute, sell, modify, reverse engineer, or create a competing database from substantial portions of Cephas without permission. You may share app-generated share images and short excerpts for personal, parish, classroom, or devotional use, provided you do not misrepresent their source or remove attribution.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse Cephas, interfere with its operation, attempt to bypass purchase gates, access content through unauthorized means, introduce malicious code, or use the app in a way that violates law or the rights of others.

Third-Party Services

Cephas depends on Apple services, including StoreKit, iCloud, MapKit, App Store receipts, Family Sharing where available, and the iOS share sheet. Your use of those services may be subject to Apple’s terms and privacy policies. If you share content to another app or contact support by email, those third-party services handle that information under their own terms.

Changes, Availability, and Termination

We may update, improve, remove, or discontinue features or content in Cephas. We may suspend or terminate access if necessary to protect the app, comply with law, or respond to a violation of these Terms.

You may stop using Cephas at any time by deleting the app. Deleting the app does not automatically cancel, refund, or remove App Store purchase records maintained by Apple.

Disclaimers and Liability

Cephas is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not promise that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available on every device forever. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Andromeda Studios disclaims warranties and will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from your use of Cephas.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these limitations may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you may have under applicable consumer-protection law.

Contact and Updates

Questions about these Terms may be sent to support@andromedarea.com. We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of Cephas after an update means you accept the updated Terms.
