Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of The Christian Newsletter websites, newsletters, and related online presence operated by Viva Dios Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Viva Dios Labs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms apply to: (i) https://christian-newsletter.com, (ii) http://newsletter.christian-newsletter.com/, (iii) our LinkedIn page at https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-christian-newsletter/, and (iv) any related Facebook, X, or similar social media accounts we create or operate from time to time, together with our email newsletters and related content, features, and communications (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing, browsing, subscribing to, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, once published. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

We may update these Terms from time to time by posting a revised version on our website or otherwise making it available through the Services. Any changes will be effective when posted unless we state otherwise, and your continued use of the Services after updated Terms are posted means you accept them.

1. Services Covered

The Services include The Christian Newsletter and its associated newsletter publications, currently including Daily Quiet Time, Christian World News, Read Through the Bible, Bible Fun Facts, and Verse to Share. These newsletters may be distributed by email, on our websites, through our Beehiiv-hosted pages, and through social media excerpts, summaries, posts, and related distribution channels.

We may add, remove, suspend, rename, modify, or discontinue any newsletter, feature, archive, distribution channel, or part of the Services at any time, with or without notice. We are not obligated to continue offering any specific newsletter, issue archive, or feature.

2. Eligibility

The Services are intended for a general audience. By using the Services, you represent that you have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms in your jurisdiction.

We do not set a formal minimum age for general access to the Services. However, if you are under 13, you should subscribe or engage with the Services only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, especially because our content may be used by families and children.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services complies with all laws and regulations applicable to you.

3. Newsletter Sign-Up and Communications

You may subscribe to one or more of our newsletters by submitting your email address and any other requested information through our website, Beehiiv pages, or related subscription forms. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current to the extent applicable.

The Services are currently free to access and are supported in part by advertising, sponsorships, affiliate relationships, or similar monetization methods. We may introduce paid offerings, premium features, donations, or other monetization methods in the future, and if we do, additional terms may apply.

You may unsubscribe from newsletter or promotional emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in the email or by contacting us at contact@vivadios.dev. Even if you unsubscribe from newsletters, we may still send service-related, transactional, or legally required communications where appropriate.

At this time, the Services do not require user accounts or passwords for ordinary newsletter access. If we later add account-based features, additional terms or policies may apply.

4. Informational and Devotional Purpose

The Services are provided for informational, educational, editorial, and devotional purposes only. The content may include biblical summaries, reflections, prayer prompts, commentary on current events from a Christian perspective, and other faith-based materials, but it is not tailored to your personal circumstances.

The Services are not a substitute for professional advice of any kind, including legal, financial, tax, medical, mental health, counseling, or pastoral advice. The Services are also not a substitute for local church leadership, pastoral care, or qualified counseling appropriate to your situation.

We aim to remain broadly Christian and neutral as to specific denominations, but that does not mean every reader, church, or tradition will agree with every interpretive choice, theological emphasis, reflection, or summary. You are responsible for how you evaluate and use the content.

5. No Professional, Investment, or Counseling Advice

Nothing in the Services constitutes legal, financial, tax, accounting, investment, medical, therapeutic, mental health, counseling, or pastoral advice. Nothing in the Services is intended to diagnose, treat, or resolve any personal, emotional, relational, spiritual, or ministry issue requiring individualized care.

You should seek advice from appropriately qualified professionals, pastors, counselors, or advisors for your specific circumstances. You should not rely on the Services as the sole basis for important personal, legal, financial, business, health, or ministry decisions.

6. Sponsored Content, Advertising, and Affiliate Links

The Services may contain advertising, sponsorships, promotions, paid placements, affiliate links, or similar commercial content. We may receive compensation or other benefits in connection with some links, mentions, promotions, or featured products and services.

The inclusion of any advertisement, sponsored content, or affiliate link does not mean we guarantee, warrant, or formally endorse the related third party unless we expressly state otherwise. You are responsible for evaluating third-party products, services, ministries, organizations, and resources before relying on them.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Services to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation.
• Interfere with, disrupt, damage, or impair the Services or the servers, systems, or networks connected to them.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Services or any related system or account.
• Copy, scrape, harvest, reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, license, or exploit the Services or their content except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable law.
• Use the Services to send spam, deceptive messages, unsolicited commercial communications, or malicious code.
• Misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with a person, church, ministry, or organization.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the Services if we believe you have violated these Terms or created risk, harm, or potential legal exposure for us or others.

8. Intellectual Property

Except where otherwise stated, all content and materials available through the Services, including newsletter content, text, devotionals, reflections, summaries, graphics, logos, branding, website content, compilations, designs, and the overall look and feel of the Services, are owned by or licensed to Viva Dios Labs and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws. All rights are reserved.

You may access and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, create derivative works from, republish, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any part of the Services without our prior written permission, except as allowed by applicable law.

“The Christian Newsletter” and related names, logos, slogans, and marks are the property of Viva Dios Labs or its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any right or license to use them without prior written consent.

9. Limited Sharing Permission

You may share brief excerpts, headlines, social posts, and links to our content for non-commercial purposes if you provide clear attribution to The Christian Newsletter and do not alter the meaning, remove context, or imply sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation. Any broader reproduction, reposting of full newsletter issues, archive mirroring, systematic copying, or commercial reuse requires our prior written permission.

We reserve the right to revoke this limited sharing permission at any time.

10. Feedback and Reader Communications

The Services are currently intended primarily as one-way publishing and subscription services, and we do not generally invite or accept unsolicited confidential submissions, business ideas, creative concepts, guest posts, or materials for publication unless we expressly request them.

If you send us feedback, suggestions, comments, survey responses, email replies, or other communications, you agree that, unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing, we may review, use, and act on them without obligation or compensation to you. Do not send us confidential or proprietary information that you expect us to keep confidential unless we have separately agreed to do so in writing.

If you send us feedback about the Services, we may quote or reference that feedback in anonymous form for marketing, product, editorial, or promotional purposes, so long as we do not identify you by name or personal details without your permission.

11. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may link to, integrate with, or rely on third-party websites, services, and platforms, including Beehiiv, Google Analytics, social media platforms, advertisers, sponsors, payment or donation services we may add in the future, and other external providers. Your interactions with those third parties are governed by their own terms and policies, not ours.

We are not responsible for the content, availability, security, policies, practices, products, or services of third parties. Accessing third-party links or services is at your own risk.

12. Monitoring and Analytics

We may use third-party service providers and analytics tools, including providers such as Beehiiv and Google Analytics, to operate, improve, measure, secure, and monetize the Services. We may also collect subscription, engagement, referral, device, browser, and related usage information as described in our Privacy Policy once published.

You acknowledge that newsletters and websites may include tracking related to opens, clicks, referrals, and similar engagement metrics to help us understand readership and improve operations, subject to applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

13. Copyright Complaints

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that content available through the Services infringes your copyright, please send us a written notice at contact@vivadios.dev that includes: (i) your name and contact information, (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, (iii) identification of the allegedly infringing material and where it is located, (iv) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized, and (v) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material where appropriate. We may also restrict access for repeat infringers where appropriate.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT, MATERIALS, INFORMATION, AND FUNCTIONALITY MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THEM ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VIVA DIOS LABS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR UNINTERRUPTED.

We do not warrant that the Services, newsletters, emails, or linked resources will always be available, timely, complete, accurate, current, secure, or free from harmful code. Your use of the Services is at your own risk.

15. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VIVA DIOS LABS AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, USE, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF VIVA DIOS LABS FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED $100 USD. IF APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW THAT LIMITATION, LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers or limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

16. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Viva Dios Labs, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, and agents from and against any claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, awards, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to: (i) your use of the Services, (ii) your violation of these Terms, or (iii) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

17. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or created legal, security, reputational, or operational risk.

Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, governing law, venue, and miscellaneous provisions.

18. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Viva Dios Labs agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Delaware, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

19. Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Viva Dios Labs regarding the Services and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings regarding the same subject matter.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
