Terms of Service

Effective date: October 13, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the websites, apps, products and services of Bureau of Innovation LLC ("we", "us", "our"), including BlueBible, BlueTutor, our text message program and any other product we offer (together, the "Services"). Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing or using any of the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms for it. Some products may have additional terms, which apply together with these Terms.

2. Use of the Services and acceptable use

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to use the Services in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

3. Accounts

Some Services require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, to keep your sign-in details confidential, and to tell us promptly at info@bureauofinnovation.org if you believe your account has been used without permission. You are responsible for activity under your account. You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live, or have the consent of a parent or guardian.

4. Intellectual property

The Services, including their software, text, graphics, logos, names and design, are owned by Bureau of Innovation LLC or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited right to use the Services described above, these Terms do not give you any rights in them. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you. Content you create or submit remains yours, and you give us the permission we need to host and process it to provide the Services.

5. Third-party services and app stores

The Services may rely on or link to services provided by others, such as hosting, payment, messaging and app store providers. We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies.

If you download one of our apps from the Apple App Store or Google Play, these Terms are between you and us, not the app store. The app store provider has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app and, to the extent permitted by law, has no warranty obligation regarding it. Purchases and subscriptions made through an app store are also subject to that store's terms, including its refund policies. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms for apps obtained from the Apple App Store and may enforce them against you.

6. Disclaimers

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that their content is complete or current.

Not legal or professional advice. Content in the Services, including BlueBible's reference and guidance material for law enforcement, is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not legal advice or other professional advice, and it does not replace the law itself, court decisions, your agency's policies and orders, your training, or the advice of a qualified attorney or supervisor. Laws change and vary by jurisdiction. You are responsible for verifying information and for your own decisions and actions.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bureau of Innovation LLC and its owners, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill or reputation, arising from or related to the Services or these Terms, even if we were told such damages were possible. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Services is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Services in the twelve months before the claim arose, or one hundred US dollars (US$100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

8. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bureau of Innovation LLC and its owners, employees and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your use of the Services, your content, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or the rights of others.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or end your access to any of the Services at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue a Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification and governing law, will survive.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Illinois, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page, and for material changes we may give additional notice. Continuing to use the Services after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
