Terms of use

Jottings – Darby Bible. Last updated 9 October 2026.

Jottings is owned and operated by TeamChrome.AI LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company based in Madison Heights, Michigan.

What Jottings is

Jottings is an app and website for reading J. N. Darby’s translation of the Bible, with its footnotes, search, word lookup, published ministry on the text, and read-aloud voices. Reading needs no account. With an optional account you can keep reading streaks, write and share jottings, add friends and join reading groups. By using Jottings you agree to these terms and to the privacy policy.

Who may use it

Anyone may read. Accounts are for people aged 13 and over. If you are under 13, read without an account.

What you share

What you write is yours. When you share a jotting by its link or post it to a group, you give TeamChrome.AI LLC, which runs Jottings, a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store it and show it to the people you share it with, for as long as it is shared. Unshare it, delete it or delete your account and that licence ends, except for a copy kept as evidence under the moderation rules below. You confirm that you have the right to share what you share, and that it does not copy someone else’s work without permission.

Rules and moderation

Everything shared is checked the moment it is shared, and anyone can report a post, a jotting or an account. This is how it works:

Automatic rules run on the server on every shared post and jotting. A clear breach is hidden at once and queued for a human; a possible one is queued without being hidden.
The site administrator can open any group to keep these rules: read its feed, post a notice to it under an Admin badge, and remove posts or members.
Reported content is reviewed by an AI moderator, whose answer is then confirmed by a human. The AI may hide content, or leave it up and ask for a human; it never sees content that was not reported or flagged.
The rules. No harassment or personal attacks, no hate, no sexual content, no threats or incitement, no spam or scams, no posting of private information. The church rule: nothing may speak against any church, fellowship or denomination, or against its members, leaders or their families; discussing or disagreeing with a teaching is fine. The illegal rule: nothing that is itself a crime or helps commit one. Quoting scripture and published ministry, and plain speaking, are allowed.
Bans. A clear breach of the church rule or the illegal rule, or a second breach of either, suspends the account: it is signed out and disabled, removed from every group and friendship, its shared content is hidden, and fingerprints of its devices, networks and sign-in accounts are kept so the same person cannot return (see the privacy policy). A human confirms every suspension, and the site admin may also suspend an account for breaking these terms.
Appeals. If you think a decision was wrong, write to damien.mackinnon@teamchrome.ai from the address you can be reached at, naming your handle. A human will look again.
Hidden content is kept, not deleted, where the law requires evidence of illegal content to be preserved and reported.

Copyright

Do not share text that is someone else’s without permission. Notices and counter-notices are handled as described on the copyright page; an account whose shared content is removed on valid notices more than twice is closed. The Bible text itself is public domain and may be quoted freely.

Your account

You are responsible for what is done with your account. You can delete it at any time from Settings → Account, and everything tied to it goes with it as the privacy policy describes. We may close an account that breaks these terms.

No warranty

Jottings is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. It may change, pause or stop at any time. To the extent the law allows, the author of Jottings is not liable for any loss or damage arising from its use or from anything shared on it by others.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Changes

When these terms change, the new version is posted here with its date. Using Jottings after that date means you accept the change.
