Terms and Conditions

01 About the Platform

Quantum Theology (QT) is an intellectual and theological inquiry platform grounded in Hebraic relational ontology, relational coherence theory, and related frameworks developed by OPNX LLC. The Platform provides access to AI-assisted theological dialogue, written content, structured inquiry tools, and subscriber-exclusive resources.

The Platform is not affiliated with any religious denomination, institution, or organized body. Content presented is exploratory and scholarly in nature, and does not constitute pastoral counsel, spiritual direction, or religious instruction in any official capacity.

02 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to create a subscription account or access paid tiers. By using the Platform, you represent that you meet this requirement. Users under 18 may access publicly available free-tier content only, with parental or guardian awareness.

03 Subscription Tiers and Access

3.1  Tier Structure

• Explorer (Free) — Limited monthly queries with access to introductory QT content. Query allowance resets at the beginning of each calendar month.
• Scholar ($9.99/month) — Expanded query access and full content library. Intended for independent study and personal inquiry.
• Theologian ($24.99/month) — Enhanced query capacity, priority access to new content, and advanced dialogue features. Intended for serious research and applied theological work.
• Companion ($199/year) — Full platform access with the highest query limits, longest conversation history retention, and early access to platform features.

3.2  Query Limits

Each tier is subject to monthly query limits as defined in your subscription plan. Free-tier limits reset monthly and are not cumulative. Paid-tier limits reset on your billing cycle date. We reserve the right to adjust tier limits with reasonable advance notice to subscribers.

3.3  Billing and Payment

Paid subscriptions are processed through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize OPNX LLC to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable except as stated in Section 3.4.

3.4  Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not provide prorated refunds for mid-cycle cancellations. Refund requests for documented billing errors may be submitted to the contact address in Section 19.

Following cancellation, conversation history and personalized data will be retained for 30 days (Scholar), 60 days (Theologian), or 90 days (Companion) before permanent deletion.

3.5  Lapsed Subscriptions

If a payment fails or your subscription lapses, your account will be downgraded to Explorer-tier access. We will attempt to notify you via the email address on file. Data retention timelines begin from the date of lapse, not the date of explicit cancellation.

04 Acceptable Use

4.1  Intended Use

The Platform is designed for individuals engaged in serious theological inquiry, intellectual exploration, and personal study at the intersection of relational ontology, Hebraic thought, and contemporary frameworks of meaning. Intended uses include:

• Personal theological study, reflection, and intellectual exploration within the QT framework;
• Academic or research engagement with Quantum Theology, Relational Coherence Theory, and related conceptual frameworks;
• Good-faith dialogue with the QT Prism AI tool as a thinking partner and inquiry aid — not as a source of doctrinal authority or definitive spiritual guidance;
• Non-commercial personal use of Platform content within the limits of your subscription tier;
• Scholarly engagement with primary sources and arguments, including critical and dissenting inquiry.

The Platform is not designed as a devotional tool, a substitute for religious community, or a platform for proselytization.

4.2  Important Distinctions

• AI-generated responses from QT Prism do not represent the direct views, statements, or endorsements of the author or OPNX LLC. They are starting points for inquiry, not conclusions.
• Engagement with Platform content does not constitute participation in any religious tradition, denomination, or faith community.
• The Platform is not a pastoral care service, spiritual direction program, or counseling resource. Users seeking personal spiritual support or mental health assistance should consult qualified human professionals.
• Outputs should not be cited as authoritative theological positions without independent verification against primary sources.

4.3  Prohibited Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Platform to harass, threaten, defame, or harm any individual or group;
• Attempt to circumvent query limits, access controls, or subscription validation mechanisms;
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or systematically extract Platform content or AI responses for commercial use;
• Submit content designed to manipulate, deceive, or extract inappropriate outputs from the AI dialogue system;
• Represent AI-generated outputs as your own original scholarship without appropriate attribution;
• Use the Platform in any way that infringes the intellectual property rights of OPNX LLC or third parties.

05 AI-Assisted Dialogue

5.1  Nature of AI Interactions

The QT Prism dialogue tool is powered by third-party artificial intelligence. Responses are intended to support inquiry and exploration — they do not represent authoritative theological, legal, medical, or professional advice. The AI may produce errors, omissions, or outputs inconsistent with QT frameworks.

5.2  No Substitution for Professional Counsel

Nothing generated through the Platform constitutes pastoral care, psychological counseling, legal advice, or any other form of professional service. If you are experiencing a personal crisis or require professional guidance, please seek qualified human support.

5.3  Conversation History

Conversation history and session data are retained according to your subscription tier. You may export individual responses in PDF format where that feature is available.

06 Intellectual Property

6.1  Platform Content
