Transparency
Terms of Use
Last updated: November 7, 2026
These terms apply to the use of Primitivo Cristão (primitivocristao.com.br), a personal evangelism website maintained by Herbert Carvalho. By creating an account, you agree to them and to the Privacy Policy.
1. The website
Primitivo Cristão freely shares videos, readings, and Bible studies to proclaim the Gospel in the simplicity of the early Church. Anyone can read and watch without an account. With an account, you can also write studies, join discussions, like, follow authors, and study in groups (study groups).
2. Your account
- Use your real name and an email that belongs to you. The account is personal.
- Access is passwordless — via a code sent by email or your Google account. Keep your email access secure.
- You are responsible for what you publish with your account.
3. What you publish
Studies go through a review before appearing on the site. Topics and replies in discussions are published immediately and may be hidden later. When publishing, follow these rules:
- Treat everyone with respect, even when you disagree — as befits those who follow Christ.
- Do not publish insults, hate speech, or illegal, violent, or sexual content.
- Do not publish advertising, spam, chain messages, scams, or misleading links.
- Do not expose other people's personal data.
- Someone else's text: only publish it if you have the right to do so (public domain, a license that permits it, or the author's permission) and state who wrote it in the Text author field.
4. Artificial intelligence and credits
- Account holders can ask questions to an artificial intelligence that has read the study and, in the study Bible, see the meanings of a word from the original text explained by AI. Each use of AI consumes credits. Every account receives free credits when created and then monthly, on the first access from the renewal date (today, 30 credits when the account is created and 15 credits each month); that amount may change. Free credits have no cash value and are non-refundable.
- Those who want more can buy individual credits (it is not a subscription) on the AI Credits page. Each question and each word consumes the number of credits shown there before purchase. Each query is charged per person, even if another reader has already looked up the same word; reopening a word you have already looked up, in the same verse, is not charged again.
- On the website, payment is made via Mercado Pago (Pix or card); in the Android app, via Google Play. The website and the app do not receive or store card data. Credits are added when Mercado Pago or Google Play confirms the payment, are valid on both the website and the app (on the same account), do not expire, and cannot be transferred, exchanged for cash, or used outside Primitivo Cristão. Purchases made in the app also follow Google Play's refund rules.
- Used credits are non-refundable, since the service has already been provided. Unused credits can be refunded within 7 days after purchase (right of withdrawal): just request it via the Contact page. If a payment is reversed or disputed, the corresponding credits are removed from the account.
- If the AI fails and does not respond, the credits for that query are not deducted.
- AI can make mistakes. The answers help with study, but they do not replace reading the Scriptures or the counsel of those who care for you in the faith. Always check in the Bible (Acts 17:11).
- The AI answers only about the studies, the Bible, and the Christian faith.
- Do not write sensitive personal data in your questions (see the Privacy Policy).
- Trying to bypass the limit or using the AI for other purposes may lead to account suspension.
5. Study groups
- Anyone with an account can create a group and invite others, via link or email. The creator is the owner: they choose moderators, decide whether entries need approval, and can delete the group (which deletes the conversation, library, and files, for everyone).
- The conversation, library, and files are not public: they appear to those who participate in the group and to the site administration, which has access to all groups for moderation (see the Privacy Policy). The rules of section 3 apply: respect, nothing illegal, offensive, violent, or sexual, no spam or scams, and no exposing other people's personal data.
- Only send files (PDFs, books, study guides, images) that you have the right to share. Copyrighted material, without authorization from the rights holder, is not allowed.
- Invite by email only people you know. Do not use invitations to send messages to strangers.
- There are usage limits (file size, space per group, messages per minute, invitations per day) to keep the site light and safe for everyone.
- Live streams use YouTube: those who stream also follow YouTube's rules.
- The administration may, at any time, delete messages, comments, and files that break these rules, remove members, change roles, remove the group from "Open groups," suspend the group (no one can read or write until it is reactivated), or delete it.
6. Your rights over the content
What you write remains yours. By publishing, you authorize Primitivo Cristão, free of charge and non-exclusively, to display, store, and share that content on the site and in its promotions (for example, featuring a study on the home page or sharing its link) while it is published. If you delete the content, it is no longer displayed; backup copies are deleted within 14 days.
7. Moderation
We may refuse or remove studies, hide topics and replies, and suspend accounts that disrespect these terms — in serious cases, without prior notice. If something published here violates your rights, contact us via the Contact page.
8. Site content
You may share links and excerpts of the content, citing the source. Studies and third-party texts belong to their respective authors.
9. Responsibilities
The content is offered for edification and study, "as is," and does not replace professional guidance (medical, legal, or psychological). Community studies express their authors' understanding. The site may undergo maintenance, go offline, or change features.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version; important changes will be announced on the site. Continuing to use the account afterward means agreeing to the new version.
11. Governing law and contact
These terms follow the laws of Brazil. Questions: Contact page.
