Legal Terms and Notices
The following summaries are provided for convenience and readability. If you need a binding agreement, legal interpretation, or a signed business arrangement, please consult the official documents provided by SWAPP or contact our team directly.
1. Website and Service Use
By accessing the SWAPP website or using our platform, you agree to use the services lawfully and in accordance with these terms. You may not attempt to disrupt the site, reverse engineer protected systems, access data without authorization, or use the platform for unlawful, harmful, or deceptive activity.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, safeguarding account access, and ensuring that users under your organization’s control follow applicable policies. If you discover unauthorized access or suspicious activity, you should notify SWAPP immediately.
2. Account Registration and Responsibilities
When you create an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. This may include your name, organization details, email address, phone number, billing information, and other details required for account setup or support.
Organizations are responsible for ensuring that their administrators, staff, volunteers, and authorized users understand the limits of their permissions. SWAPP may rely on instructions from authorized account holders unless we have reason to believe an instruction is unauthorized or fraudulent.
3. Communications Consent
By contacting SWAPP through forms, email, phone, text, or in-app messaging, you consent to receive communications related to your request, account, support case, service updates, and related business matters. Message and data rates may apply for SMS communications depending on your carrier and plan.
If you opt in to marketing or promotional messages, you may unsubscribe or opt out at any time using the method described in the message or by contacting us directly. Transactional and service-related communications may still be sent when necessary to operate your account or deliver support.
4. Subscription, Billing, and Payment Terms
Some SWAPP services may be offered on a subscription basis, one-time service basis, or through custom enterprise arrangements. Pricing, payment schedules, billing cycles, renewal terms, and cancellation policies may vary depending on the service package or written agreement.
Unless otherwise stated in an executed contract, fees are non-refundable to the extent permitted by law. You are responsible for any taxes, bank charges, chargeback fees, and other costs associated with your payment method. If a payment fails or an invoice becomes overdue, service access may be paused until the account is brought current.
5. Service Availability and Modifications
SWAPP continuously improves its platform, which means features, interfaces, integrations, and system behavior may change over time. We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features without prior notice when necessary for security, performance, compliance, or product development reasons.
Although we strive to maintain reliable uptime and consistent functionality, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Scheduled maintenance, emergency updates, third-party outages, internet failures, and force majeure events may affect availability.
6. Data, Content, and User Submissions
You retain rights to content that you upload, submit, store, or transmit through the service, subject to the licenses required for SWAPP to operate the platform and deliver the requested functionality. This may include member records, event details, prayer requests, messages, media files, notes, and administrative content.
You represent that you have the legal right to share any content you submit and that it does not infringe intellectual property rights, violate privacy rights, or contain unlawful material. SWAPP may process data according to your instructions, our policies, and applicable law.
7. Intellectual Property Rights
SWAPP, including our website design, software, logos, branding, text, graphics, layout, and underlying code, is protected by intellectual property laws. Except where expressly permitted, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, resell, or create derivative works from our proprietary materials.
All trademarks, service marks, and logos used in connection with SWAPP are the property of their respective owners. No license or ownership transfer is implied by your use of the website or platform unless explicitly granted in writing.
8. Third-Party Services and Integrations
SWAPP may integrate with third-party tools, payment processors, communication services, analytics providers, hosting environments, and other vendors. These third parties operate under their own terms, privacy policies, and service commitments.
We are not responsible for third-party outages, data handling practices, product changes, or separate contractual obligations unless otherwise stated in a written agreement. You should review the applicable policies before enabling any external integration.
9. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to use SWAPP to send spam, distribute malware, harass users, impersonate another person, collect data unlawfully, or interfere with the security and integrity of our systems. You may not attempt unauthorized access to accounts, APIs, databases, or administrative tools.
We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations, restrict access, remove content, or terminate accounts that threaten the security, legality, or reliability of the platform.
10. Disclaimers of Warranty
SWAPP provides its website and services on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the fullest extent permitted by law. We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
We do not guarantee that the service will meet every operational, technical, legal, or ministry requirement. You are responsible for evaluating whether the platform is suitable for your organization’s needs and for implementing appropriate internal controls.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, SWAPP and its affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, and agents shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the website or services.
Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability for any claim will be limited to the amount paid by you to SWAPP for the applicable service during the period giving rise to the claim, unless a different limit is required by law or agreed to in writing.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SWAPP from and against claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses arising from your misuse of the platform, violation of these terms, breach of law, infringement of rights, or content you submit or distribute through the services.
This includes reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs where permitted by law, and applies to your employees, agents, contractors, and affiliated users to the extent they act on your behalf.
13. Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the website or services if we reasonably believe you have violated these terms, created security risks, failed to pay applicable fees, or used the platform in a way that harms other users, partners, or SWAPP’s legal interests.
Upon termination, your right to use the services will cease, subject to any rights or obligations that survive termination, including confidentiality, ownership, payment obligations, disclaimers, indemnification, and limitation of liability provisions.
14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
Unless otherwise stated in a separate written agreement, any dispute related to the website or services will be governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where SWAPP is organized or principally operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Where permitted, disputes may first be addressed through informal resolution by contacting our team. If the matter cannot be resolved informally, the parties may be required to pursue formal legal remedies in the appropriate venue under applicable law or contract terms.
15. Updates to These Legal Terms
We may update this legal page and related policy documents from time to time to reflect changes in law, our products, business operations, or security practices. Any updates will be effective when posted unless a different effective date is stated.
We encourage you to review these terms periodically. Continued use of the website or services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms to the extent permitted by law.
