Terms of Service
Last updated: November 7, 2026
These terms cover your use of the Ora mobile app and of oradeus.com. Ora is free. There is no account, no subscription and nothing to buy, so most of what usually fills a page like this does not apply — what remains is written plainly and is worth the few minutes.
Who we are
Ora is made and operated by Brandrip MB, a company registered in Lithuania. You can reach us at hello@oradeus.com, and we read everything that arrives there.
What Ora gives you
Each morning Ora publishes the Catholic Mass readings for that day — the first reading, the responsorial psalm and the Gospel — with a written reflection, the saint of the day, and an audio narration of the whole thing. It is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Polish. The same readings can be read on this website without installing anything.
You may use Ora for your own personal, non-commercial use, on as many of your own devices as you like, for as long as the app exists. You do not need our permission and you do not need to tell us.
Free, with nothing to buy
Ora costs nothing. There is no subscription, no trial, no in-app purchase and no advertising. We do not ask for a payment method, so there is nothing to cancel and nothing to refund. If that ever changes, it will not change retroactively for something you have already used.
No account
Ora has no sign-up and no login. Your streak, your badges and the readings you have finished are stored on your own device. There is no account for us to suspend and none for you to close — deleting the app removes the local data with it. What little reaches our servers, and why, is set out in the Privacy Policy.
The content, and who owns it
Scripture. The English scripture in Ora is the World English Bible, which is in the public domain. The Spanish, Portuguese and Polish scripture is our own translation, prepared for Ora.
Reflections, narration and artwork. The daily reflections, the narration and the paintings in the badges and seasonal collections were made for Ora. You are welcome to listen, read, and share a link. As a condition of using the app and this website, please do not re-publish, redistribute or sell the audio, the reflections or the artwork, use them to train a model, or extract them in bulk.
The liturgical calendar. Which readings fall on which day is not ours and belongs to no one — it is the calendar of the Church.
Ora is not published by the Church
Ora follows the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar and aims to reproduce the readings of the day faithfully, including the national calendars where they differ. It is not an official publication of the Catholic Church, is not endorsed by any diocese, parish or religious order, and carries no imprimatur. The reflections are a private devotional aid, not teaching. Where it matters, your parish and the official liturgical books are the authority, not us.
Mistakes, and what we promise
We prepare each day carefully and check it automatically, but Ora is provided as it is. We cannot promise that it will always be available, that a day will never be wrong or missing, or that the audio will always play. We may change how Ora works, add or remove languages, or stop offering it altogether. If we ever stop, we will say so in the app rather than let it quietly break.
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from your use of Ora. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
Fair use of the service
Please do not attempt to disrupt the service, work around its technical limits, scrape it in bulk, or use it to distribute anything unlawful. If something is broken in a way you can exploit, we would rather you wrote to us about it.
Your rights as a consumer
If you are a consumer in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you keep every right your local consumer law gives you. Nothing in these terms takes those rights away or asks you to give them up, and where these terms and that law disagree, that law wins.
The app stores
Ora is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Those stores have their own terms, which apply to you separately from these. This agreement is between you and us; Apple and Google are not party to it and are not responsible for Ora.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms we will update the date at the top of this page, and where the change is significant we will say so in the app. Continuing to use Ora after a change means you accept the revised terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Lithuania, where Brandrip MB is established. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of the country you live in, and you may bring proceedings there.
