Core Legal Terms
The sections below provide a plain-English overview of the legal documents and obligations that govern your relationship with SWAPP. For binding language, refer to the applicable agreements, policies, or notices provided by SWAPP.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using SWAPP, you agree to comply with the terms and conditions that apply to the website, application, and related services. If you are using SWAPP on behalf of a church, nonprofit, or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to the applicable terms.
2. Account Responsibilities
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, restricting access to authorized users, and ensuring that account activity complies with your organization’s internal policies. You should promptly notify SWAPP of unauthorized access or suspected security incidents.
3. Acceptable Use
SWAPP may not be used for unlawful activity, abusive messaging, fraud, spam, malware distribution, or any conduct that interferes with the integrity, availability, or security of the platform. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access where misuse is identified.
4. Service Availability
We strive to maintain reliable service, but uninterrupted access cannot be guaranteed. Maintenance windows, network conditions, external providers, and unforeseen technical issues may affect availability, performance, or specific feature functionality.
Data, Content, and Intellectual Property
SWAPP protects its platform, brand, and content while giving customers the ability to manage their own ministry data. Understanding the distinction between system-owned materials and customer-provided content is essential.
Platform Ownership
SWAPP, including its codebase, design elements, trademarks, logos, interface layouts, and documentation, is owned by or licensed to SWAPP and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Customer Data
Churches and organizations retain rights to the data they upload, enter, or manage within the platform, subject to the permissions needed for SWAPP to operate, support, secure, and improve services.
Content Accuracy
Customer-generated content remains the responsibility of the organization that creates or publishes it. SWAPP does not guarantee that user-submitted data, event details, messages, or records are complete or error-free.
Compliance and Risk Considerations
Because SWAPP supports communications, giving, scheduling, and ministry operations, organizations should ensure their internal practices align with applicable laws, regulations, and governance requirements.
Security Best Practices
We recommend using strong passwords, role-based access, regular permission reviews, and prompt deactivation of unused accounts. Security is a shared responsibility between SWAPP and the organization using the platform.
Third-Party Services
Integrations, payment processors, analytics tools, communications providers, and other third-party services may be governed by separate terms. SWAPP is not responsible for the practices or uptime of external providers.
Legal Review
Organizations are encouraged to review their own policies regarding donations, communications consent, record retention, child safety, and privacy obligations before relying on any software system for operational use.
