BLESSEN TERMS OF USE
Effective date: 14 August 2026
Last updated: 17 August 2026
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) form a legal agreement between you and LUMENGATE LTD (“Lumengate,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the Blessen mobile application and related services (together, “Blessen” or the “Service”).
Company: LUMENGATE LTD
Company number: 17053891
Registered office: 61 Bridge Street, Kington, United Kingdom, HR5 3DJ

Website: https://lumengate.io
Please read these Terms carefully. By downloading, accessing, purchasing through, or using Blessen, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Please also review our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to create or use a Blessen account independently. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you may use Blessen only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
The age rating displayed in an app store describes the suitability of the App’s content and does not replace the eligibility requirements in these Terms.
You may not use Blessen if applicable law prohibits you from receiving or using the Service.
2. The Blessen Service
Blessen is a Bible application that may provide Bible reading, prayers, daily content, widgets, saved content, progress tracking, visual customisation, and the Blessing feature.
Blessing allows a user to select a Bible verse or prayer from the content available inside Blessen, choose a visual presentation, and share it with another Blessen user or group. Users cannot write or send their own personal messages or personal notes through Blessing.
Some features may be available without payment, while other features require an active subscription. Feature availability may differ by platform, country, App version, device compatibility, subscription status, or technical availability.
We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features where reasonably necessary to operate, improve, secure, or comply with legal or platform requirements for the Service. This does not affect any mandatory consumer rights you may have.
3. Guest Profiles and Accounts
You may begin using Blessen without completing a registered sign-in. Blessen may create a guest profile associated with your device so that the Service can retain your preferences, progress, saved content, and other App data.
Certain features, including account-based synchronisation and Blessing, may require you to create or connect an account using Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In.
You agree to:
- provide accurate account information;
- keep your device and account credentials secure;
- not allow another person to impersonate you or misuse your account; and
- notify us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without authorisation.
You are responsible for activity performed through your account or device to the extent permitted by law.
You may delete a registered account or guest profile through the deletion option made available in Blessen. Account deletion is governed by our Privacy Policy. Deleting a Blessen account does not automatically cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription.
4. Subscriptions
Blessen may offer the following auto-renewable subscription types:
- Individual Monthly;
- Individual Annual;
- Family Monthly on iOS; and
- Family Annual on iOS.
Family subscriptions are offered only on iOS through Apple’s Family Sharing functionality. Android offers Individual subscriptions only.
The features, billing period, price, currency, taxes, trial or introductory offer, and any other applicable purchase terms are displayed on the purchase screen before you confirm a transaction. The terms shown by the App Store or Google Play at the time of purchase form part of your transaction and control if they conflict with a general description in these Terms.
We may test or change subscription products, pricing, trials, eligibility, or promotional offers for future purchases. Any change affecting an existing subscription will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the rules of the store through which you subscribed.
5. Free Trials and Introductory Offers
Where offered and where you are eligible:
- an Annual subscription may include a 14-day free trial; and
- a Monthly subscription may include a 7-day free trial.
Trial periods and eligibility may vary by platform, country, subscription type, campaign, or testing configuration. The purchase screen shown before confirmation states the trial that applies to your transaction.
Trials are generally available only to eligible new subscribers as determined by Apple or Google and the relevant subscription configuration. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the subscription automatically converts to a paid auto-renewable subscription at the price and billing period shown when you subscribed.
You may lose any unused portion of a free trial or promotional period when purchasing, changing, or upgrading a subscription where the applicable store rules provide for that result.
6. Billing and Automatic Renewal
All Blessen subscriptions are purchased and billed through the App Store or Google Play. Blessen does not currently sell subscriptions through its website.
When you confirm a purchase:
- payment is charged to the Apple Account or Google Account used for the transaction;
- the subscription renews automatically for the selected billing period unless cancelled before renewal;
- the store may charge the applicable payment method shortly before or at the start of the next billing period under its rules; and
- taxes, currency conversion, billing timing, and payment processing are controlled by the applicable store.
We do not receive or store your complete payment-card or bank-account details.
If payment cannot be completed, access to paid features may be suspended or expire, subject to any billing retry or grace period provided by Apple or Google.
7. Cancellation
You may cancel a subscription through the subscription settings of the store through which you purchased it:
- Apple: Apple Account or App Store subscription settings; or
- Google Play: Google Play subscription settings.
Deleting Blessen, uninstalling the App, signing out, or deleting a Blessen account does not cancel a subscription.
Unless the applicable store or law provides otherwise, cancellation stops future renewal and takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period. You may continue using paid features until then.
After a subscription expires, any free portion of Blessen that remains available may continue to be used, while subscription-only features may become unavailable.
8. Restore Purchases
Blessen may provide a Restore Purchases function. Restoration depends on the Apple Account or Google Account used for the original purchase, the current status of the subscription, store availability, and applicable platform rules.
If a purchase cannot be restored, contact help@lumengate.io. We may ask for non-sensitive transaction information needed to investigate, but we cannot access or change your complete store payment credentials.
9. Refunds
Purchases are processed by Apple or Google. Refund eligibility and processing are governed by the refund policy of the store through which you purchased and any mandatory consumer law that applies to you.
Lumengate does not operate a separate general refund programme outside the applicable store process. Nothing in these Terms excludes any refund, withdrawal, guarantee, or other consumer right that cannot legally be excluded.
10. Family Subscriptions on iOS
Family Monthly and Family Annual subscriptions are available only on iOS and rely on Apple’s Family Sharing functionality.
An eligible Family subscription may be shared by the purchaser with up to five additional members of the purchaser’s Apple Family Sharing group, subject to Apple’s current eligibility rules, account settings, country or region requirements, and technical availability.
The purchaser or Apple Family Sharing organiser is responsible for managing the Apple family group. Lumengate does not control:
- who may join or remain in an Apple family group;
- Apple’s family-member limits or eligibility decisions;
- whether purchase sharing is enabled by the purchaser;
- restrictions imposed by Apple Accounts, countries, regions, or supervised accounts; or
- access changes caused by a user leaving or being removed from an Apple family group.
Members receiving access through Family Sharing do not automatically gain access to another member’s private Blessen account information, favourites, progress, history, or activity. Each user uses their own Blessen profile or account.
If the purchaser’s Family subscription expires, is cancelled, refunded, or otherwise becomes unavailable, shared paid access may also end.
Google Play Family Library does not support sharing Blessen’s in-app subscription purchase. Accordingly, Blessen does not offer Family subscriptions on Android.
11. Blessing and Groups
Blessing allows users to share content supplied within Blessen. You may create or join groups, invite users, send available Bible verses or prayers, and view relevant sharing history.
You must not use Blessing, group names, profile information, invitations, or other parts of the Service to:
- harass, threaten, intimidate, impersonate, or deceive another person;
- violate another person’s privacy or rights;
- distribute unlawful, hateful, abusive, obscene, or fraudulent material;
- send spam, unauthorised promotions, or malicious links;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to an account, group, device, or system; or
- use Blessen for any unlawful purpose.
We may restrict or remove access to a group or account where reasonably necessary to protect users, enforce these Terms, maintain security, or comply with law.
12. User-Provided Material
Blessing does not permit free-text personal messages. However, you may provide limited material through other parts of the Service, such as an avatar, profile information, or group name (“User Material”).
You retain any rights you hold in your User Material. You grant Lumengate a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, transmit, and process User Material solely as necessary to operate and provide Blessen.
You represent that you have the rights and permissions necessary to provide User Material and that it does not violate law or another person’s rights.
13. Bible Text and Licensed Content
Blessen includes Bible translations, prayers, affirmations, visual designs, and other materials owned or licensed by Lumengate or third parties.
Bible translations may include the New Living Translation (NLT), Christian Standard Bible (CSB), World English Bible (WEB), and other translations made available under commercial licences, public-domain terms, or through providers such as API.Bible. Availability may vary and may change if a licence, provider relationship, legal requirement, or technical service changes.
Copyright notices, attribution requirements, and translation-specific terms displayed in Blessen form part of the permitted use of that content. You must not remove or obscure them.
Except where law or an applicable licence expressly permits otherwise, Bible text and other Blessen content is provided for your personal, non-commercial use within the Service. You must not:
- systematically extract, scrape, copy, or download substantial portions of the content;
- create or distribute an unauthorised database or competing service;
- sell, sublicense, commercially exploit, or redistribute licensed Bible text or Blessen content;
- alter licensed Bible text where alteration is prohibited; or
- remove copyright, trademark, attribution, or proprietary notices.
14. Quote Images
Blessen may allow you to create and save an image containing a quotation, Bible verse, prayer, or other App content.
You may use and share such an image for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to any attribution, copyright notice, translation licence, platform rule, or other restriction displayed with the content. This permission does not grant you ownership of the underlying Bible translation, prayer, design, trademark, or other protected material.
15. Licence to Use Blessen
Subject to these Terms, Lumengate grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable licence to install and use Blessen on devices that you own or control, in accordance with the applicable store usage rules.
You must not:
- copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or commercially exploit the App;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code, except where applicable law expressly permits it;
- bypass subscriptions, access controls, security, feature limits, or technical restrictions;
- interfere with the operation, integrity, or security of the Service;
- use automated systems to scrape, probe, overload, or extract data from the Service;
- introduce malware or harmful code; or
- use Lumengate’s or a licensor’s intellectual property without permission.
All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Lumengate and its licensors.
16. Intellectual Property
Blessen, including its software, design, interface, branding, logos, original prayers, affirmations, graphics, databases, and other materials, is owned by or licensed to Lumengate and is protected by intellectual-property laws.
Third-party Bible translations, trademarks, platform services, and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners. References to third-party products or rights holders do not imply sponsorship or endorsement unless expressly stated.
17. Spiritual and Informational Nature
Blessen provides spiritual, devotional, and informational content. It is not a substitute for professional medical, mental-health, legal, financial, emergency, or pastoral advice tailored to your circumstances.
If you believe you or another person is in immediate danger or needs urgent professional help, contact the appropriate emergency service or qualified professional. Do not rely on Blessen for emergency assistance.
18. Third-Party Services
Blessen relies on third-party platforms and services, including Apple, Google, API.Bible, hosting providers, analytics providers, subscription-management providers, notification providers, and authentication services.
Your use of those services may also be governed by their terms and privacy policies. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using Blessen. We are not responsible for a third party’s independent service, account decision, payment system, outage, or policy, except to the extent required by law.
19. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal data and how users may exercise applicable privacy rights. It forms part of these Terms.
20. Suspension and Termination
You may stop using Blessen at any time.
We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe that you:
- materially or repeatedly violated these Terms;
- used Blessen unlawfully or fraudulently;
- created a security, safety, legal, or technical risk; or
- caused harm to users, Lumengate, the Service, or a third party.
Where appropriate and legally required, we will provide notice or an opportunity to resolve the issue. We may also discontinue the Service or a feature for legitimate business, legal, security, or technical reasons.
Termination does not automatically entitle you to a refund, but it does not affect mandatory rights or a refund granted by Apple, Google, or applicable law.
Provisions that by their nature should continue after termination, including intellectual-property, disclaimers, liability, and dispute provisions, will survive.
21. Service Availability and Updates
We aim to provide a reliable Service, but Blessen may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, updates, network conditions, third-party failures, security incidents, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
You may need to install updates to continue using Blessen. We do not guarantee that every feature will work on every device, operating-system version, country, or network.
22. Disclaimers
Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Blessen is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, satisfactory quality, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, and error-free operation to the extent those warranties may legally be disclaimed.
We do not guarantee that:
- the Service will always be available, secure, or free from errors;
- content will meet every user’s spiritual, personal, or religious expectations;
- a particular Bible translation or item of content will remain available indefinitely; or
- notifications, invitations, synchronisation, or third-party services will always be delivered or operate without delay.
23. Limitation of Liability
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lumengate will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, opportunity, business, anticipated savings, or data arising from or related to Blessen.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lumengate’s total aggregate liability arising from or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of:
- the amount you paid for Blessen during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or
- GBP 100.
These limitations apply only to the extent permitted by the consumer law applicable to you.
24. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify Lumengate against third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising directly from your unlawful use of Blessen, your material breach of these Terms, or User Material that violates another person’s rights.
This section does not apply to the extent a claim was caused by Lumengate or where applicable consumer law does not permit such an obligation.
25. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction over disputes, except that if you are a consumer, you may also have the right to bring a claim in the courts of the country or part of the country where you live, and mandatory local consumer protections remain unaffected.
Before bringing a formal claim, you may contact help@lumengate.io so that we can attempt to resolve the issue.
26. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, subscriptions, platform requirements, licensors, law, security, or business operations.
We will publish the updated Terms and revise the “Last updated” date. Where required, we will provide additional notice or request your agreement before a material change takes effect. Changes do not retroactively remove rights that have already accrued under applicable law.
27. General Terms
If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent. We may transfer these Terms as part of a merger, reorganisation, sale of assets, or similar transaction, subject to applicable law.
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the purchase terms shown by Apple or Google, and any mandatory platform terms constitute the agreement governing your use of Blessen.
28. Additional Terms for Apple Users
If you download or use Blessen on an Apple device:
- These Terms are between you and Lumengate, not Apple. Lumengate, not Apple, is responsible for Blessen and its content.
- Your licence is limited to a non-transferable right to use Blessen on Apple-branded products that you own or control as permitted by the Apple Media Services Usage Rules, except that eligible access may be shared through Family Sharing.
- Lumengate is responsible for maintenance and support required under these Terms or applicable law. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Blessen.
- If Blessen fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any, as provided by Apple’s terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation regarding Blessen.
- Lumengate, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to Blessen, including product-liability, legal-compliance, consumer-protection, and privacy claims.
- Lumengate, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging a third-party claim that Blessen infringes intellectual-property rights.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated by the US Government as a terrorist-supporting country and are not listed on a US Government prohibited or restricted party list.
- You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using Blessen.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
29. Additional Terms for Google Play Users
If you download or use Blessen through Google Play:
- These Terms are between you and Lumengate, not Google.
- Google is not responsible for Blessen, its content, maintenance, support, or claims relating to the Service, except as required under Google Play’s own terms or applicable law.
- Your purchase and use are also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service and applicable Google Play policies.
- Family subscriptions are not offered on Android. A Google family payment method does not make an Individual Blessen subscription available to other family members.
