Subscription Terms

Effective date: October 27, 2026

These terms cover the paid subscription to THE WORD, MADE CLEAR Study ("Premium"), offered by Bravo Zulu Media ("we", "us") on study.thewordmadeclear.com and in the iPad, iPhone and Android apps. Subscriptions are not on sale yet; these terms will apply when they open.

What Premium includes

Premium unlocks the study features described in the app at the time you subscribe. Reading Scripture in the app stays free, with or without a subscription. A subscription belongs to your reader account, so it works on every device where you sign in with that account (Google or Apple).

We add to and improve the app over time. If we ever remove a major Premium feature, we will tell you first, and you may cancel.

Plans and prices

• Monthly: US $4.99 per month.
• Yearly: US $49.99 per year.
• Founding Members: US $24.99 per year. Anyone who starts a yearly plan within 6 months of launch is a Founding Member and keeps this price for as long as their yearly subscription keeps renewing without a break.

Prices are in US dollars and do not include any sales tax, VAT or similar tax, which is added where it applies. In the Apple App Store and Google Play, the price is shown in your local currency and may differ slightly. The price and the billing period are always shown before you confirm a purchase.

Free trial: 7 days. New subscribers get Premium free for 7 days. To start a trial you must sign in with Google or Apple; this confirms who you are and keeps it to one free trial per person. Cancel any time during the 7 days and you will not be charged. If you do not cancel, the trial turns into the monthly plan when it ends, and you are charged then. You can choose the yearly plan instead at any time, at a discount; it helps support the ministry. A trial started in the Apple App Store or Google Play also follows that store's trial rules.

Billing and automatic renewal

• You pay for the first period when you subscribe.
• Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, monthly or yearly, and you are charged the price then in effect, until you cancel.
• To avoid the next charge, cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
• For yearly plans, we will send you a reminder by email between 15 and 45 days before each renewal, with the price and how to cancel.
• If a payment fails, we or the store may try again for a short time. If it still fails, Premium is paused until payment goes through.

Where you subscribed decides where you manage it

• On the website: manage or cancel in the app under Account, then Manage subscription.
• On iPhone or iPad (Apple App Store): in Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Apple handles the billing.
• On Android (Google Play): in the Play Store app, open Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions. Google handles the billing.

Deleting your reader account does not cancel a subscription bought through Apple or Google. Cancel it with Apple or Google too.

Cancellation

You can cancel at any time, in a few taps, using the steps above. When you cancel, you will not be charged again, and Premium stays on until the end of the period you have already paid for. Your bookmarks, highlights and notes stay yours after you cancel; you can keep reading and using the free features.

Refunds

• Monthly plans: payments are not refunded. When you cancel, Premium simply stops at the end of the month you have paid for.
• Yearly plans bought on the website: ask within 14 days of being charged, for a first year or a renewal, and we will refund that payment in full. Write to support@thewordmadeclear.com. After 14 days, partly used years are not refunded, except where the law requires.
• Apple App Store and Google Play purchases: refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies. You can ask Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, or Google through Google Play's order history.
• Where the law where you live gives you a right to cancel or a refund (for example, in the European Union or the United Kingdom), that right applies in addition to these terms.

Price changes

If we change the price, we will tell you at least 30 days before it applies to you. A new price takes effect at your next renewal after that notice. If you do not want to pay the new price, you can cancel before then. Apple and Google may also ask for your agreement to a price increase.

Ending a subscription

We may suspend or end a subscription that is used in breach of these terms, for example by sharing an account with others or by misusing the service. If we stop offering Premium altogether, or end your subscription without such a reason, we will refund the unused part of your current period.

Other terms

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle the information connected with your subscription. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, except where the law where you live gives you protections that cannot be waived. Disputes that cannot be settled informally will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Spokane County, Washington.

If we change these terms, we will update this page and its date, and tell you before a significant change applies to your subscription.
