Terms of Service

The plain-English version.

No legalese. No tricks. Last updated April 26, 2026.

Who we are

Virtual Bible Study Plus (“VBS+”, “we”, “us”) is operated by Virtual Bible Study, Inc. By using VBS+ you agree to these terms. If you don’t, please don’t use the product — and email us if you’d like a refund.

Your account

You’re responsible for what happens on your account. Don’t share your password. Tell us if you think someone got into your account — hi@virtualbiblestudy.com.

You must be at least 13 years old to use VBS+.

What we promise

Free Core is free forever — 260 written lessons, lesson of the day, study by topic. We won’t paywall what’s in Free today, ever.

Plus features (video, study groups, Library of Good Deeds, Bible Buddy, Faith Journal, AI translation) are billed monthly or yearly. Cancel anytime; you keep access through the end of the period you paid for.

Acceptable use

Be kind. Don’t harass other people, don’t spam, don’t doxx, don’t scrape, don’t reverse-engineer.

Don’t use VBS+ to promote violence, hate, or self-harm. Don’t share content you don’t have rights to share. We can remove content and accounts that violate this — see our moderation policy in the Help center.

Your content

You own what you write — your reflections, journal entries, comments, and Good Deeds. By posting publicly (groups or the Library of Good Deeds), you give us a non-exclusive license to display it inside VBS+.

You can delete public content anytime. If others have already engaged with it (replied, reacted), the engagement record stays — your text goes.

Subscriptions & refunds

Plus is $5/month or $40/year. Prices may change with 30 days notice; existing subscribers keep their rate for the term they paid for.

Full refund within 30 days of your most recent charge — email hi@virtualbiblestudy.com.

AI translation & moderation

Group conversations are auto-translated using third-party AI. Translations are best-effort, not perfect — the original text is always one tap away.

We use AI to flag potentially harmful content for human review. Final decisions are made by people, not models.

World Vision impact

We commit 4% of every Plus subscription to World Vision’s clean water program. Annual reports are published on the company blog.

Changes to these terms

If we change anything material, we’ll email you 30 days before it takes effect. Your continued use after that means you accept the change.

Disclaimers

VBS+ is provided as-is. We do our best, but we can’t guarantee uptime or that every feature works perfectly all the time. We are not responsible for the spiritual outcomes of your study — that’s between you and God.
