Welcome to Bible Editions. By accessing or using our website, you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully.

In short:

• Bible Editions is a free informational resource
• We provide Bible edition data and recommendations, but don't guarantee accuracy
• You're responsible for purchases made through retailer links
• We're not liable for issues arising from your use of the site

If you don't agree with these terms, please don't use the site.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing editions.bible (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"), our Privacy Policy, and our Affiliate Disclosure.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

What we are NOT:

× A retailer (we don't sell Bibles directly)
× A publisher (we don't publish or translate Bible texts)
× Professional theological advisors (our recommendations are informational, not spiritual counsel)

3. User Responsibilities
