Description of Service

nocap.bible provides a creative paraphrase of the Bible in contemporary language. This is not a formal translation and should not be used as a substitute for scholarly study. For doctrine, study, and academic purposes, consult a formal translation such as the ESV, NIV, or NASB.

Intellectual Property

The original paraphrase content, design, and code of nocap.bible are the intellectual property of the project's creator. All rights are reserved unless otherwise stated. Scripture reference texts (ESV, NIV) are attributed to their respective publishers and used under their licensing terms.

You may use the Service for:

• Personal reading and devotional purposes
• Educational use in classrooms and study groups

You may not:

• Reproduce, redistribute, or sell the content in bulk
• Use automated tools to scrape or download the content

• Use the content in a way that misrepresents the original biblical text

User Conduct

When using the Service, including any interactive features such as email subscriptions or reading plans, you agree not to abuse, harass, or disrupt the Service. You may not use the API endpoints for purposes other than their intended function.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or theological precision of the paraphrased content. This is a creative work, not a formal translation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, nocap.bible and its creator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service.
