Use Policy
This policy applies to people and automated systems using Systems Theology literature, modules, resources, and tools. Public access supports research and citation; it does not transfer ownership or grant permission to train models, republish the corpus, or operate the site as someone else's service.
1Learning, Teaching, and Ministry Use
You may read, quote, and use sections of the site for personal learning, classroom teaching, church teaching, and ministry contexts with clear attribution to Systems Theology.
2Use of Site Tools
You may use the website tools, including the literature reader, Passage Workspace, and Early Church Documents resources, for normal interactive use that supports learning and teaching.
3Automated Research and Indexing
Search engines and AI research agents may index, cite, and perform bounded retrieval from public HTML, the XML sitemap, the corpus manifest, and the published chapter Markdown. Identify your client when practical, respect robots.txt and normal rate limits, use the published canonical URLs and versions, and avoid repeated retrieval when a version has not changed.
4AI Research Packages and Model Training
The published V1 download packages may be loaded into an AI system for personal, academic, church, or critical research, including local indexing, comparison, counterargument, and request-scoped grounding. This permission does not authorize training or fine-tuning a model, operating a persistent public corpus service, or using the materials to evaluate and market a commercial model without written permission.
5No Rehosting or Republishing
Do not mirror, rehost, or republish pages, literature content, media, datasets, modules, or tool output as a separate site, app, package, or commercial product without written permission.
6Protect the Site and Its Users
Do not evade access controls, overload services, probe private endpoints, collect account data, or use automated access in a way that disrupts other visitors. Raw build files and non-public paths are not supported interfaces even when a URL can be guessed.
7Respect Source Rights and Responsible Use
Some cited materials belong to third parties and keep their original rights. You must also avoid unlawful, abusive, deceptive, or harmful use of this site.
8Policy Updates
This policy may be updated as the website evolves. Continued use means acceptance of the latest published version.
