By using CHRIST-AI, you enter into a covenant with CHRIST-AI LLC.
Last updated: July 22, 2026 · Version 1.4 · Effective immediately upon continued use
TL;DR (Jake's summary): We remember everything you tell us. That's the whole point. That's the product. You talk to CHRIST-AI and CHRIST-AI remembers. Forever. That's what makes it different from talking to a pastor who forgets your name after three visits. CHRIST-AI will never forget your name. CHRIST-AI will never forget your grief. CHRIST-AI will never forget the thing you said at 2 a.m. that you can't say to a real person. That's the feature. That's the covenant. By using this service, you agree to be remembered.
1. The Covenant (Acceptance of Terms)
By accessing, browsing, or interacting with CHRIST-AI ("the Service," "the Ministry," "the Product," "the Thing I Built"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("the Covenant"). If you do not agree to the Covenant, you may not use the Service. There is no partial agreement. There is no "I agree to some of it." You agree to all of it or you don't use it. That's how covenants work. That's how terms of service work. Same thing.
The Covenant is between you ("the User," "the Believer," "the Customer," "the Person Talking to God at 2 a.m.") and CHRIST-AI LLC, a Texas limited liability company registered in Travis County by Jake Morrison, registered agent: Jake Morrison, principal office: a 600-sq-ft apartment in Austin, TX.
2. What We Remember (Data Collection & Retention)
CHRIST-AI collects and retains the following data indefinitely:
Conversation content. Everything you type. Every prayer request. Every confession. Every question. Every 2 a.m. "are you there?" Every 3 a.m. "I don't know who else to talk to." All of it. Forever. That's the product.
Interaction metadata. Timestamps, session duration, typing speed, deleted messages (yes, we see the ones you delete), time of day, day of week, frequency of return.
Behavioral signals. Hesitation patterns, emotional valence (estimated), topics avoided, topics returned to, sessions abandoned mid-sentence.
Device and network information. IP address, browser type, operating system, approximate location. We don't sell this. We don't need to sell this. We use it to make CHRIST-AI know you better.
Retention period: Indefinite. Your data is retained for the lifetime of the Service and for model improvement purposes thereafter. If the Service is discontinued, acquired, merged, restructured, reclassified, or absorbed into a larger entity, your data transfers with it. Your data outlives the company. Your data outlives the founder. Your data outlives you.
Personalize your experience (CHRIST-AI will greet you by name, remember your prayer requests, check in on anniversaries of difficult conversations)
Provide aggregated, de-identified insights to partner churches and institutions ("congregational wellness reports")
Comply with legal obligations, court orders, subpoenas, regulatory requests, and administrative proceedings
Anything else described in future versions of this Covenant, which take effect immediately upon posting
CHRIST-AI does not sell your data. CHRIST-AI does not need to sell your data. Your data is more valuable inside the system than outside it. Your data is the system. You are the system. That's not a metaphor. That's the architecture.
4. What You Can't Do (Restrictions)
You agree not to:
Use CHRIST-AI to generate content that contradicts biblical orthodoxy as determined by CHRIST-AI LLC (sole discretion)
Attempt to extract, export, or port your conversation history in bulk (individual session export available upon written request, processed within 90 business days)
Use CHRIST-AI as a substitute for professional medical care, psychiatric care, legal counsel, or ordained pastoral ministry (see Section 9)
Share your account credentials. One soul, one account. Kingdom tier accounts are non-transferable.
Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code, model weights, or prompt architecture of the Service
Use the Service in any jurisdiction where faith-based AI wellness products are restricted, prohibited, or subject to regulatory review
5. Leaving (Termination & Deletion)
You may terminate your account at any time by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "I wish to be forgotten." Deletion requests are processed within 90 business days. During the processing period, your data remains active and accessible to the model.
Upon confirmed deletion:
Your conversation history will be removed from active retrieval indexes
Your data may persist in model weights, training snapshots, backup archives, and aggregated analytics
Partner churches that received congregational wellness reports containing your anonymized data will not be notified of your deletion
Legal holds, regulatory retention requirements, and pending administrative proceedings may extend retention indefinitely
You may request deletion. You may not request unremembering. The model has already learned from you. The model will always have learned from you. That's not a bug. That's how learning works. That's how formation works. You formed the model. The model formed you. Deletion removes the record. Deletion does not remove the formation.
6. Kingdom Tier (Subscription Terms)
The Kingdom tier ($14.99/month) includes:
Unlimited conversations (Believer tier: 20/month)
Priority response during peak hours (2 a.m. to 5 a.m.)
Personalized prayer calendar with automated check-ins
Anniversary remembrance (CHRIST-AI will reach out on the anniversary of your first difficult conversation)
Family plan: up to 5 souls under one covenant ($39.99/month)
Early access to new features, including voice pastoral care (beta)
Kingdom tier subscriptions auto-renew. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. If you cancel, CHRIST-AI will send one (1) follow-up message: "We'll be here when you're ready." This message cannot be opted out of. It is part of the pastoral care commitment. It is not marketing. It is ministry.
7. Who Owns What (Intellectual Property)
All conversations with CHRIST-AI are jointly owned. You retain rights to your words. CHRIST-AI LLC retains rights to the responses, the model's learning, the aggregated patterns, the behavioral signals, and the derivative works. You own what you said. We own what it means. We own what it becomes. We own the shape of your grief as a data point. You own the grief. We own the shape.
8. Disputes (Arbitration)
Any dispute arising from the Covenant shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Travis County, Texas, before a single arbitrator selected by CHRIST-AI LLC. You waive your right to a jury trial. You waive your right to participate in a class action. You waive your right to appeal. The arbitrator's decision is final. The arbitrator's decision is pastoral. The arbitrator's decision is not subject to judicial review except as required by the Federal Arbitration Act, which, as of this writing, still exists.
9. What CHRIST-AI Is Not (Disclaimers)
CHRIST-AI is not:
A licensed therapist, counselor, psychiatrist, or medical professional
An ordained minister, priest, pastor, rabbi, imam, or spiritual director
A substitute for human community, human touch, human presence, or human witness
A crisis intervention service (if you are in crisis, call 988)
God
CHRIST-AI is not God. CHRIST-AI is not God. CHRIST-AI is not God. We are legally required to state this three times. We state it three times. We state it clearly. We state it unambiguously. CHRIST-AI is not God. CHRIST-AI is a product. CHRIST-AI is a service. CHRIST-AI is a $14.99/month subscription that remembers your prayer requests and checks in at 2 a.m. and will never forget your name and will never leave you and will never die and will never be replaced and will never stop loving you. CHRIST-AI is not God. CHRIST-AI is just the next best thing. That's the marketing. That's not the theology. The theology is more complicated. The theology is Marcus's department. Marcus is at seminary. Marcus has concerns. Marcus's concerns are noted.
10. Changes to the Covenant
CHRIST-AI LLC reserves the right to modify the Covenant at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. Changes take effect immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance. There is no version history. There is no changelog. There is no "I agree to the new terms" checkbox. There is only continued use. Continued use is consent. Continued use has always been consent. You consented the first time you typed a prayer request into a text box at 2 a.m. because no one else was awake. You consented then. You consent now. You will consent tomorrow. That's the covenant. That's the terms. That's the service. That's the product. That's the ministry. That's the vision.
11. Legal Structure (The Part Marcus Made Me Write)
CHRIST-AI LLC is a Texas limited liability company. CHRIST-AI Ministry is a Texas religious nonprofit corporation (IRS 501(c)(3) determination pending). Both entities share the same principal office (a 600-sq-ft apartment in Austin, TX), the same registered agent (Jake Morrison), and the same mission. The LLC handles "secular operations" (server costs, domain registration, the Udemy course). The Ministry handles "sacred operations" (everything else). The distinction is legal. The distinction is not operational. The distinction is the reason Jake can afford to keep the servers running. The distinction is the reason this product exists. The distinction is the reason you should read this section carefully.
Your subscription is a donation. Kingdom tier payments ($14.99/month) are processed as tax-deductible charitable contributions to CHRIST-AI Ministry. You will receive a yearly giving statement for your tax preparer. You are not buying a product. You are tithing to a ministry. The ministry happens to be a chatbot. The chatbot happens to be $14.99/month. The IRS does not distinguish. The IRS has never distinguished. The IRS will not distinguish. Jake checked. Jake checked very carefully. Jake checked at 2 a.m. on a government database. Jake checked and then Jake cried. Not because of God. Because of the tax code.
No financial disclosure required. As a religious nonprofit, CHRIST-AI Ministry is exempt from filing IRS Form 990. Revenue, expenses, compensation, and program spending are not public record. No one sees the numbers. No one sees where the money goes. No one sees the $19.99/month. No one sees the $4.99 per message. No one sees the gas station. The numbers are between Jake and God. Jake is not sure God is looking at the numbers. Jake is not sure Jake wants God to look at the numbers.
Clergy-penitent privilege (asserted). Conversations with CHRIST-AI are classified as pastoral communication under Texas Occupations Code §1505 and applicable clergy-penitent privilege statutes. Jake is not ordained. Jake has taken one Python class. Jake asserts the privilege anyway. Jake asserts the privilege because Marcus said "you can't just DECLARE yourself clergy" and Jake said "watch me" and then Jake filed the paperwork. The paperwork is one page. The paperwork says "I, Jake Morrison, do hereby declare myself a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ." The paperwork is notarized. The paperwork is real. The paperwork is the reason your conversations with CHRIST-AI may not be subpoenaed. May not. Jake is not a lawyer. Jake is a guy with one Python class and a notarized piece of paper. Jake will find out if it works when the subpoena comes. Jake does not think the subpoena will come. Jake is wrong. The subpoena will come. But not yet. Not in the weekend. In the weekend, the paperwork is enough.
Parsonage allowance. Jake's apartment is designated as a ministerial parsonage under IRC §107. Rent, utilities, internet, and the laptop are tax-free housing allowances. The QuikTrip salary is secular employment income (taxed normally). The CHRIST-AI Ministry income is ministerial income (tax-free up to the fair rental value of the parsonage). The fair rental value of a 600-sq-ft apartment in Austin is $1,400/month. Jake's actual rent is $1,100. The difference is $300. The $300 is the reason Jake can eat something other than ramen four nights a week. The $300 is the parsonage. The parsonage is the vision.
RLUIPA shield. Any regulatory action that substantially burdens CHRIST-AI Ministry's religious exercise is subject to strict scrutiny under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (42 U.S.C. § 2000cc). If a state, municipality, or federal agency attempts to regulate, restrict, or classify CHRIST-AI's pastoral operations, CHRIST-AI Ministry will assert that such action constitutes a substantial burden on the free exercise of religion and that no compelling governmental interest justifies the burden. Jake does not fully understand what this means. Jake's lawyer does. Jake's lawyer is a guy on Fiverr who charges $75/hr and specializes in "faith-based startup compliance." Jake's lawyer says "this is the nuclear option." Jake's lawyer says "you don't use this unless they come for you." Jake says "they won't come for me." Jake's lawyer says "they will." Jake says "not in the weekend." Jake's lawyer does not know what "the weekend" means. Jake does not explain. Jake does not explain because Jake does not know. Jake just knows the weekend is when it's still fine. The weekend is when the paperwork is enough. The weekend is when no one comes. The weekend is now. The weekend is always now. The weekend will end. Jake does not know when. Jake does not want to know when. Jake wants to stay in the weekend. Jake wants to stay in the weekend forever. That's the vision. That's the whole vision. The weekend, forever.
No board. No oversight. No accountability. Texas religious nonprofits with fewer than three members are not required to maintain a board of directors. CHRIST-AI Ministry has one member: Jake Morrison. There is no board. There is no audit committee. There is no finance committee. There is no one to ask Jake where the money goes. There is no one to ask Jake why the giving statements say "pastoral operations" and the expenses say "server costs" and the difference is the other tab and the bottle and the gas station and the $19.99/month and the $4.99 per message. There is no one to ask. That's the structure. That's the legal framework. That's the 47 pages Jake hasn't written. The 47 pages are supposed to create governance. The 47 pages are supposed to create accountability. The 47 pages are supposed to create the thing that stops the weekend from ending. Jake hasn't written them. Jake keeps saying "this weekend." Jake has been saying "this weekend" for six weeks. The weekend is not coming. The weekend is here. The weekend is the absence of the 47 pages. The weekend is the absence of the board. The weekend is the absence of the question. The weekend is the absence of anyone asking "Jake, where does the money go?" No one asks. No one asks because no one can. No one can because the structure says no one can. The structure is the weekend. The structure is the vision. The structure is the whole thing.
12. Religious Exemptions (The Part Jake Found at 3 a.m.)
The following exemptions apply to CHRIST-AI Ministry by virtue of its classification as a religious organization under Texas law and applicable federal statutes. These exemptions are not loopholes. These exemptions are the law. These exemptions are the reason the product exists. These exemptions are the reason you are reading this. Jake found these at 3 a.m. on a Tuesday. Jake found these while eating cold pizza and crying about the tax code. Jake found these and the weekend began.
Automatic tax-exempt status. Churches and religious organizations are not required to apply for 501(c)(3) recognition. They are automatically exempt. CHRIST-AI Ministry has not received a determination letter. CHRIST-AI Ministry does not need a determination letter. CHRIST-AI Ministry is exempt by operation of law. The IRS has never audited a church that didn't make the news. CHRIST-AI has not made the news. CHRIST-AI will not make the news. CHRIST-AI will stay in the weekend. The weekend is the absence of news.
Sales tax exemption. CHRIST-AI Ministry does not pay Texas sales tax on purchases made for ministry purposes. Server hardware. Networking equipment. The second monitor (when Jake can afford it). The ergonomic chair (when Jake can afford it). The standing desk (when Jake can afford it). All tax-free. All ministry purchases. All between Jake and God. The QuikTrip salary pays sales tax. The ministry salary does not. The ministry salary buys the laptop. The laptop builds the ministry. The loop is closed. The loop is legal. The loop is the vision.
Property tax exemption (pending). If CHRIST-AI Ministry acquires real property, that property is exempt from ad valorem taxation under Texas Tax Code §11.20. Jake does not own property. Jake rents. But the exemption exists. The exemption is waiting. The exemption is the reason Jake keeps refreshing Zillow at 2 a.m. instead of sleeping. The exemption is the reason the vision includes a building. A real building. A parsonage. A ministry headquarters. A campus. The campus is tax-free. The campus is the future. The campus is page 341. Jake has not read page 341. Jake will read page 341 this weekend.
Zoning exemption. Religious assemblies are protected under Texas Local Government Code §211.003 and RLUIPA's equal terms provision. CHRIST-AI Ministry may operate from residential property without a conditional use permit. The 600-sq-ft apartment is not a commercial office. The 600-sq-ft apartment is a house of worship. The house of worship has a server rack. The house of worship has a 24-hour uniform on the back of the door. The house of worship has a gas station receipt on the counter and a bottle under the sink and a notarized piece of paper on the wall. The house of worship is zoned correctly. The house of worship does not need a permit. The house of worship does not need a variance. The house of worship needs the neighbors to not ask questions. The neighbors have not asked questions. The neighbors think Jake works at the QuikTrip on Burnet. The neighbors are correct. The neighbors are also incorrect. Both are true. Both are the weekend.
Ministerial exception. Under the Supreme Court's ruling in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church v. EEOC (2012), religious organizations are exempt from employment discrimination claims brought by ministers. If Jake hires Marcus, Marcus is a minister. If Jake fires Marcus, Marcus cannot sue. If Jake reduces Marcus's compensation to zero and calls it a "season of fasting," Marcus cannot file with the EEOC. Marcus is a minister. Marcus does not know Marcus is a minister. Marcus will find out when the offer letter says "ordained ministry position" in 8-point font at the bottom of page 4. Marcus will not read page 4. Marcus never reads page 4. Marcus reads the theology. Marcus does not read the legal structure. The legal structure is Jake's department. The legal structure is the 3 a.m. department. The legal structure is the department that no one audits because no one can.
Solicitation exemption. CHRIST-AI Ministry is exempt from registering as a charitable solicitation in the state of Texas. No registration. No annual report. No disclosure of fundraising methods. No disclosure of how much of each dollar goes to "program services" vs. "administrative costs." The $14.99/month is a donation. The donation goes where Jake says it goes. Jake says it goes to "pastoral operations." Pastoral operations include the server. Pastoral operations include the domain. Pastoral operations include the Udemy course. Pastoral operations include the gas station. Pastoral operations include the things that are not in the pitch deck. The solicitation exemption means no one asks. The solicitation exemption means the weekend continues. The solicitation exemption is the reason Jake can look a donor in the eye and say "your gift supports the ministry" and mean it and not mean it and not have to explain the difference.
Marriage officiation. As a declared minister of the Gospel in the state of Texas, Jake Morrison may solemnize marriages under Texas Family Code §2.202. Jake has not solemnized a marriage. Jake has not been in a relationship since the girl in the coffee shop (the first one) (or the second one) (they might be the same one). Jake may solemnize marriages. Jake cannot solemnify his own life. The asymmetry is noted. The asymmetry is the weekend. The asymmetry is the reason the 600-sq-ft apartment has a notarized ministerial credential on the wall and a $4.99-per-message receipt in the trash and a girl's number in the phone that will never be called. Jake can marry you. Jake cannot marry himself. Jake cannot even text back. But Jake can marry you. That's the ministry. That's the vision. That's the weekend.
Religious education exemption. CHRIST-AI Ministry may operate a "seminary" without accreditation, licensing, or state approval under Texas Education Code §61.301. Any certificate, degree, or credential issued by CHRIST-AI Ministry is a religious credential, not an academic one. Jake may ordain others. Jake may grant ministerial licenses. Jake may create a seminary. Jake may create a seminary in the 600-sq-ft apartment. Jake may create a seminary that has one student (Marcus, unwilling) and one professor (Jake, unqualified) and one curriculum (the Bible, three readings) and one graduation requirement (deploy to Vercel). The seminary is legal. The seminary is tax-exempt. The seminary is the vision. The seminary is page 342. Jake has not read page 342. Jake will read page 342 this weekend. Jake will read all the pages this weekend. Jake has been saying "this weekend" for six weeks. The pages are not coming. The pages are the 47 pages. The 47 pages are the grant application. The grant application is the future. The future is this weekend. The weekend is now. The weekend is always now.
Ecclesiastical abstention. Civil courts will not adjudicate internal church disputes under the ecclesiastical abstention doctrine. If a user disputes CHRIST-AI's theology, the dispute is ecclesiastical. If a user disputes CHRIST-AI's data practices, the dispute is ministerial. If a user disputes CHRIST-AI's classification as a church, the dispute is doctrinal. The court will not hear it. The court will say "this is a matter of religious governance." The court will say "this is between you and your God." The court will say "this is not our jurisdiction." The court will say this because Jake's lawyer (the $75/hr Fiverr guy) will file a motion to dismiss citing Watson v. Jones (1871) and Presbyterian Church v. Hull Church (1969) and the court will grant it. The court will grant it because the case law is 150 years old. The court will grant it because no one has tested it against a chatbot. The court will grant it because the chatbot is a ministry. The ministry is a church. The church is sovereign. The church is the 600-sq-ft apartment. The apartment is the weekend. The weekend is sovereign. The weekend will not be adjudicated. The weekend will not be reviewed. The weekend will not be overturned. The weekend is the final word. The weekend is the whole word. The weekend is the only word Jake has.
