Terms of service

The agreement

These terms are between you and Big Sky Horizon Software LLC, a Montana limited liability company ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using The Lions Den app or website, you accept them. If you don't, don't use the app.

Your account

You need an email address and password to use the app. Keep your credentials to yourself — anything done through your account is treated as done by you. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account, and the program is designed for adult men.

Give us an email address you actually control; it is how we reach you about your account and how we verify a deletion request if you lose access to the app.

Cohorts and visible accountability

The program works by showing your daily check-ins to the three to five men in your cohort. By joining a cohort you agree that your name and check-in status are visible to its members. If you don't want that, the app isn't for you.

Anyone in a cohort can edit its meeting time and place, and any member can leave at any time. Invite codes are not secrets we can protect — share them only with men you intend to walk with.

Don't use a cohort to harass, shame, threaten or proselytise at anyone against their will. We may remove accounts that do.

Curriculum and your content

The twelve-week curriculum, the app, and the Lions Den name and marks belong to us or our licensors. You may use them for your own participation in the program — you may not resell, republish or redistribute the curriculum, or build a competing product from it.

Scripture quotations are used under the terms of their respective publishers.

Your journal entries are yours. We store and sync them so you don't lose them, and we claim no ownership of them — you grant us only the limited permission needed to host, back up and return them to you. We do not read, publish or train on them.

Not professional advice

The Lions Den offers spiritual formation content, including fasting and physical training. It is not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. Talk to a doctor before fasting or starting a training regimen, particularly if you are pregnant, diabetic, or under care for any condition. If you are in crisis, contact a licensed professional or emergency services — this app is not a crisis service.

Availability and changes

The app is local-first and keeps working without a connection, but we don't promise uninterrupted service, and we may change, suspend or discontinue features. We may update the bundled curriculum; new versions write into the same local store.

If we make material changes to these terms we will update this page and notify you in the app before they take effect.

Ending it

You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Danger Zone → Delete account. Deletion is immediate and permanent — see our account deletion page for what that removes. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or that we reasonably believe are being used to harm others.

Disclaimers and liability

The app is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that check-in data, streaks or journal entries will be error-free or preserved — keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data or lost profits. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty US dollars.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Montana, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Montana, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing here waives consumer rights you hold under the mandatory law of your own country.

App Store and Google Play

If you obtained the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, your use is also subject to that store's terms. Apple and Google are not parties to this agreement, have no obligation to provide support for the app, and are not responsible for any claim relating to it.
