Terms of Service
1. Introduction & Purpose
Welcome to Root to Fruit. This website is a personal vocation, created and maintained from the heart by a single individual. Its primary purpose is to offer spiritual guidance, devotionals, and a space for reflection. By accessing and using this website, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this agreement.
2. Service Availability & Limitations
Because this project is entirely self-funded with very limited financial resources, I rely heavily on low-cost services and infrastructure to keep it running. While I will do whatever is in my power to provide this service uninterrupted, I reserve the right to modify, suspend, or completely withdraw the website and its services at any time, without prior notice.
If unforeseen technical situations arise that require financial resources beyond my capacity, the service may be temporarily or permanently pulled. Your understanding and grace in these matters is deeply appreciated.
3. Limitation of Liability
The content on Root to Fruit is provided for general informational and spiritual purposes only. I make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the website or the information contained on it.
In no event will I be liable for any loss or damage including without limitation, indirect or consequential loss or damage, or any loss or damage whatsoever arising from loss of data or profits arising out of, or in connection with, the use of this website. By using this site, you agree that you are doing so at your own risk.
4. User Comments and Conduct
This website provides spaces for users to leave comments. To maintain a safe, pastoral, and encouraging environment:
- All comments are subject to moderation and approval before appearing on the site.
- I reserve the right to delete any comments that are deemed offensive, spam, or counter to the compassionate spirit of this community.
- By submitting a comment, you grant Root to Fruit the right to display it publicly.
5. Intellectual Property & Authorship
Unless otherwise noted, the devotionals, blog posts, Bible chapter summaries, and all original written content on this website have been personally authored by me. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be used as a research tool during the writing process, the final content is my own original work and intellectual property.
You may share and quote the content for non-commercial, personal use, provided that proper credit and a link back to Root to Fruit is given.
6. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assistant
This website features a "Scripture-Based Guidance Assistant" designed to help you find relevant spiritual guidance. It is important to understand how this tool operates:
- The AI is utilised strictly as a linguistic tool to understand the intent and context of your questions.
- Unlike traditional open-ended AI chatbots, it does not generate its own answers from external internet sources or third-party databases.
- Instead, it operates within a closed system, mapping your questions directly to the closed library of devotionals and summaries that I have personally written, serving only my original, vetted content as the output.
7. Changes to these Terms
These terms may be updated from time to time. Your continued use of the website following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
