Legal Overview for SWAPP Users
SWAPP is designed to help churches and ministries manage communication, outreach, giving, events, prayer, follow-up workflows, and CRM activities in one organized platform. As with any software-as-a-service product, your use of the platform is governed by rules that protect our users, our business, and the integrity of the service. The sections below summarize the most important legal considerations for using SWAPP.

Legal Terms and Conditions
Please read these terms carefully before accessing or using SWAPP. By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise interacting with the platform, you agree to comply with these legal conditions. If you do not agree, you should discontinue use of the service.
1. Eligibility and Authority
You must have the legal authority to enter into a binding agreement on behalf of yourself or the organization you represent. If you are using SWAPP on behalf of a church, nonprofit, ministry, or enterprise, you confirm that you are authorized to do so.
2. Account Responsibility
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, restricting access to your account, and ensuring that all activity under your account complies with applicable laws and your organization’s policies.
3. Permitted Use
SWAPP may be used only for lawful purposes and in accordance with the service’s intended functionality. Users may not attempt to disrupt, reverse engineer, misuse, or exploit the platform, including any automated tools or integrations without permission.
4. Content and Data
You retain ownership of the content and data you upload to SWAPP, subject to the rights necessary for us to host, process, transmit, and display that information in order to provide the service.
5. Service Availability
We strive to keep SWAPP available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance, outages, third-party dependencies, and technical issues may affect service availability from time to time.
6. Modifications
We may update features, revise policies, or change legal terms as the product evolves. Updated terms become effective when posted, unless otherwise stated, and continued use of SWAPP indicates acceptance of the updated version.
Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct
To preserve platform integrity and protect the communities that depend on SWAPP, users must refrain from any conduct that could harm the service, compromise data, or violate the rights of others. This includes unauthorized access attempts, credential sharing outside approved team workflows, scraping, spamming, phishing, malware distribution, or use of the platform in a way that violates law or regulation.
If a church or organization invites staff, volunteers, or members into SWAPP, the primary account holder is responsible for managing access appropriately. You should assign least-privilege permissions, remove access when individuals leave the organization, and monitor account activity to ensure that sensitive ministry information remains protected.
We reserve the right to investigate suspected misuse and take reasonable action, including limiting access, disabling accounts, or preserving relevant records where necessary to protect users, the platform, or compliance obligations.
Data Security
We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect platform data, though no online system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
Third-Party Services
Some features may rely on outside providers for hosting, messaging, analytics, or payment processing.
Compliance
Users are responsible for ensuring their use of SWAPP aligns with applicable laws, consent requirements, and internal policies.
Intellectual Property and Branding
SWAPP, including its software, user interface, text, graphics, logos, product features, and documentation, is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for your own uploaded content, all rights in the platform remain owned by SWAPP or its licensors.
Our Content
Website copy, visual design, product naming, and code are protected and may not be copied or redistributed without permission.
Your Content
You remain responsible for ensuring you have the rights and permissions to upload or distribute any content through SWAPP.
Feedback
If you share product suggestions or feedback, you grant us permission to use that input without obligation, unless otherwise required by law.
Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
SWAPP is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the extent permitted by law. We make reasonable efforts to deliver a stable and useful service, but we do not guarantee that the platform will always be error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for every specific ministry, operational, or compliance need.
Important Note
The platform is intended to support communication, workflow, and organizational management. It is not legal, accounting, tax, or compliance advice. Churches and organizations should consult qualified professionals when making decisions that involve regulatory, financial, employment, or risk-related matters. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, SWAPP is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the service.
