Terms of Service

Flint is an AI companion for Christian faith practice, delivered over text. By texting Flint or subscribing, you agree to these terms. The most important ones: Flint is software, not a pastor or counselor, and is not a crisis service; subscriptions renew automatically until canceled; and disputes are resolved through individual arbitration, which you may opt out of within 30 days.

You must be at least 13 years old to use Flint. If you are under 18, you may use the service only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these terms on your behalf; subscriptions may only be purchased by an adult. Your phone number identifies your account — texting Flint establishes the service relationship without separate registration. If you create a web account, you are responsible for safeguarding it and for activity under it.

By texting Flint first, or by subscribing, you consent to receive recurring text messages: replies to your messages, messages you schedule in conversation, and occasional unprompted follow-ups about things you have shared. Follow-ups can be disabled in conversation without affecting messages you asked for. Message frequency varies. Standard message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to stop all messages; reply HELP for assistance. Delivery depends on carriers and devices; we are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages.

Flint offers a free introductory allowance, an ongoing free tier (limited daily messages; no scheduled or unprompted messages), and paid subscriptions. The free tier requires no payment method and never converts to a charge automatically. Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until canceled. You may cancel at any time through the billing portal or by emailing [email protected]; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period, and you retain access until then. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law; verified billing errors (such as duplicate charges) reported within 30 days will be corrected. Payments are handled by our payment processor; we do not store your card details. Free allowances are limited to one per phone number, and circumventing that limit may result in suspension.

Substantially all content Flint delivers is generated by AI language models. AI output may contain errors, including misquoted or misattributed scripture and theological framing you may disagree with. Verify scripture independently, and do not rely on Flint for theological, medical, mental-health, legal, or financial advice. Flint is not affiliated with or endorsed by any church or denomination.

Flint is not a counselor, therapist, pastor, physician, or any other credentialed professional, and is not designed to diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number. For crisis support, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line). The service includes an automated classifier that refers users to professional resources when it detects crisis language; it is a safety net, not a substitute for professional care. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for harm arising from reliance on the service in a crisis.

Do not use the service for unlawful purposes; harass or abuse others through it; send spam; probe, disrupt, or overload our systems; resell access; or attempt to generate content that infringes the rights of others. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Your messages remain yours. You grant us the license necessary to operate the service — to store your messages, process them with our AI providers, and maintain the context that personalizes Flint. The service itself, including its software, design, and brand, belongs to us.

The service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to the amounts you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater. You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your violation of these terms.

Any dispute arising from these terms or the service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and both parties waive class actions and jury trials. Small-claims court remains available for qualifying claims. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these terms. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas.

We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these terms; you may stop using the service at any time (reply STOP, cancel your subscription, or request account deletion). We will update the date above when these terms change and provide notice of material changes; continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.

[email protected]. Flint is operated by hypetheory LLC, a Texas limited liability company — “we” and “us” in these terms refer to it, and it is the contracting party to this agreement.
