All content, features, and functionality of our Service are owned by FlickerFaith and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may export your own conversations for personal use (Premium feature).

6. AI-Powered Services

FlickerFaith uses AI technology to provide biblical insights, devotionals, and faith-based guidance. You acknowledge that:

• AI responses are not perfect and should not replace professional religious, medical, legal, or financial advice.
• The AI may occasionally provide inaccuracies or responses that don't align with your specific denominational perspective.
• We strive for biblical alignment but interpretations can vary across traditions.
• Conversations may be used (in anonymized form) to improve response quality.

We encourage verifying important interpretations with your pastor or trusted religious resources.
