Detailed Legal Information
The sections below provide a practical summary of the most important legal principles that apply to SWAPP users. For formal legal interpretation, consult qualified counsel familiar with your jurisdiction and operational requirements.
Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct
SWAPP is intended to support churches and organizations in managing communications, events, giving, outreach, and follow-up workflows. Users may not exploit the platform to distribute malware, impersonate others, harvest data without permission, circumvent platform protections, or engage in conduct that violates law or the rights of others.
You are also prohibited from using SWAPP in connection with fraud, spam, harassment, unauthorized marketing, or any activity that would reasonably be expected to damage the integrity, reputation, or availability of the service.
Intellectual Property Rights
All software, designs, text, graphics, logos, interface elements, and other content provided by SWAPP are protected by intellectual property laws and are owned by SWAPP or its licensors unless otherwise stated. No license is granted except as necessary to access and use the site and services in accordance with these terms.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse engineer, resell, or create derivative works from SWAPP materials unless you have express written permission or such activity is otherwise permitted by law.
Service Availability and Changes
We work to maintain reliable service, but uninterrupted availability cannot be guaranteed. SWAPP may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue features, integrations, pricing structures, or access methods at any time as part of maintenance, product improvement, security, or business decisions.
Where feasible, we may provide advance notice of material changes. Continued use of the platform after an update indicates acceptance of the revised terms or policies where required.
Third-Party Links and Integrations
SWAPP may include links to external websites, payment processors, communication tools, analytics providers, or other third-party services. These services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and SWAPP is not responsible for their content, availability, or practices.
If you choose to connect third-party tools to your SWAPP account, you are responsible for understanding the permissions granted, the data shared, and any associated third-party obligations.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SWAPP and its affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the website or services. This includes, where permitted, damages related to lost data, lost profits, service interruptions, or unauthorized access.
Any liability limitations are intended to allocate risk fairly in the context of software and online service delivery and may vary depending on your location and governing law.
Indemnification
You agree that if your use of SWAPP causes harm to another party, violates applicable law, or creates a legal claim against SWAPP due to your conduct, you may be responsible for defending and holding SWAPP harmless from resulting claims, losses, or costs as permitted by law and the applicable agreement.
This allocation of responsibility is common in software terms and helps ensure that each user remains accountable for their own actions, content, and compliance obligations.
