Legal Overview
The following summary is provided for convenience and does not replace the official legal documents applicable to your account and use of SWAPP. If there is any conflict between this page and the governing documents, the governing documents control.
1. Use of the Platform
By accessing SWAPP, you agree to use the website, app, and related services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, and these terms. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity performed under your account. If you authorize members of your team, staff, volunteers, or other users to access your organization’s account, you remain responsible for the permissions you grant and the content those users submit.
2. Account Registration
Some features may require an account registration or organization profile. When creating or updating your account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. You also agree to keep that information up to date so SWAPP can communicate with you regarding service notices, billing, security issues, and operational updates. We may suspend or restrict accounts that contain fraudulent, misleading, or unauthorized information.
3. Service Availability
SWAPP is provided as a software service intended to support communication, engagement, and administrative workflows for churches and ministries. While we work to maintain high availability and performance, we do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from delays, outages, or technical issues. Scheduled maintenance, third-party dependency failures, network interruptions, and emergency fixes may affect access.
4. Content Responsibility
Organizations and users are solely responsible for the data, messages, files, graphics, event details, and other materials they upload, publish, transmit, or store using SWAPP. You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to use and distribute the content you submit. SWAPP may remove or restrict content that appears unlawful, harmful, abusive, infringing, or otherwise inconsistent with applicable policies.
5. Privacy and Data Handling
Your use of SWAPP is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal data and ministry data. We may collect information required to provide account access, support, analytics, communication, and product improvement. We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect data, but no system can be guaranteed to be fully secure. Please review the Privacy Policy for complete details.
6. Intellectual Property Rights
SWAPP and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the platform, software, design, visual elements, copy, trademarks, logos, and related materials. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the platform or its content. All rights not granted to you are reserved.
Additional Legal Terms
Below are additional concepts commonly addressed in SWAPP’s governing terms. These summaries are intended to help users understand the scope and structure of our legal framework.
Billing and Payment
If your organization subscribes to paid services, your plan, billing cycle, renewals, taxes, and cancellation rights are governed by the applicable subscription agreement or order details. You are responsible for ensuring payment information is accurate and current. Fees already paid are generally non-refundable unless otherwise stated in writing or required by law.
Third-Party Services
SWAPP may integrate with or link to third-party services such as payment processors, communication tools, analytics providers, or external resources. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. SWAPP is not responsible for the content, reliability, or actions of third-party services outside our direct control.
Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SWAPP is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability. Any reliance on content, reports, automations, or outputs generated through the platform is at your own discretion.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, SWAPP and its affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business interruption, arising from the use of or inability to use the service. Where liability cannot be excluded, it will be limited to the amount permitted by applicable law.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SWAPP and its affiliates from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising out of your use of the service, your content, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to SWAPP if we reasonably believe you have violated applicable terms, posed a security risk, engaged in abusive behavior, or interfered with the service. Upon termination, some data may be deleted or become inaccessible according to our retention policies and legal obligations.
Compliance for Churches and Ministries
Because SWAPP serves faith-based organizations, legal compliance can involve member data, communication permissions, donation records, youth-related safeguards, and internal governance practices. Your organization is responsible for using the platform in accordance with your bylaws, internal policies, donor expectations, and all applicable legal requirements.
Data Stewardship
Use role-based permissions, limited access controls, and secure practices when managing member information, giving history, prayer requests, and communication records.
Consent and Communication
Make sure texting, email, push notifications, and outreach workflows align with consent requirements and your organization’s communication policies.
Retention and Records
Maintain records according to your retention obligations and review what data should be archived, exported, or deleted when no longer needed.
