Terms and Conditions of Use

By accessing or using the SWAPP website, application, dashboards, forms, dashboards, integrations, or any associated services, you agree to comply with these legal terms. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should stop using the platform immediately. Your continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the then-current version of these terms.

SWAPP provides software and content intended for general informational and operational purposes. While we work to keep the site available and accurate, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or complete accuracy of all materials at all times. You are responsible for evaluating whether the platform is appropriate for your organization’s needs and for implementing suitable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards.

1. Eligibility and Account Responsibility

You must be legally able to enter into binding agreements in your jurisdiction to create an account or use certain services. If you are using SWAPP on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these terms. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials, ensuring that authorized users are properly managed, and promptly notifying us of any unauthorized access or suspected compromise.

2. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the website or platform. Prohibited activities include attempting to interfere with system integrity, reverse-engineer protected components, upload malicious code, send spam or unlawful communications, impersonate another person or entity, or violate applicable laws and third-party rights. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access if we believe misuse, abuse, or unlawful behavior has occurred.

3. Billing, Trials, and Subscription Terms

Certain SWAPP services may be offered on a trial, subscription, or usage-based basis. If you sign up for a free trial, paid plan, or promotional offer, the specific pricing, duration, renewal terms, cancellation rules, and service limitations will be presented at the time of enrollment or in your account settings. You are responsible for reviewing those details before checkout or activation. Unless otherwise stated, subscriptions may renew automatically and charges may continue until canceled according to the terms applicable to your plan.

4. User Content and Data

You retain ownership of the content, records, messages, forms, and data you submit to the platform, subject to any rights you grant us to operate, maintain, and improve the service. You are responsible for ensuring that your content does not infringe upon the rights of others and that you have the legal basis to collect, store, and process any personal data you upload. You should not submit confidential, sensitive, or regulated information unless you are confident that your use case and account configuration are suitable for that purpose.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

All software, visual design, trademarks, logos, interface elements, text, graphics, and underlying technology associated with SWAPP are protected by intellectual property laws and remain the property of SWAPP or its licensors, except for content you lawfully provide. You may not copy, distribute, modify, resell, or create derivative works from our proprietary materials without prior written permission, except as expressly allowed by law or by separate written agreement.

Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The SWAPP website and services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, except where such warranties cannot be excluded under applicable law. We do not warrant that the platform will always be secure, timely, uninterrupted, or free from defects, nor do we guarantee that every error will be corrected immediately.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SWAPP will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from your use of the site or services. This limitation applies even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Third-Party Services and Links

Our platform may include links to third-party websites, payment processors, analytics tools, communications services, or other external resources. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. SWAPP does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, policies, performance, or availability, and including a link does not imply endorsement or approval.

You are encouraged to review the legal terms of any third-party services you choose to use in connection with your account. Your use of those services may create separate obligations between you and the third-party provider.

Privacy, Cookies, and Data Protection

Our collection and processing of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which should be read alongside this Legal page. Depending on your configuration and use of the service, we may collect account details, device and usage information, submission data, and communication records necessary to operate the platform, support customers, and maintain security. Where required, we use cookies or similar technologies for functionality, analytics, and performance purposes.

If you manage data on behalf of a church, ministry, or organization, you are responsible for ensuring that your use of SWAPP complies with your own internal governance requirements, consent obligations, and local legal standards. For a full explanation of how information is handled, please refer to our Privacy Policy and any applicable data processing addenda or service agreements.

Service Availability, Modifications, and Termination

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website or service at any time, with or without notice, to improve performance, comply with legal requirements, address security concerns, or manage product changes. We may also update features, pricing, integrations, or platform functionality as part of routine maintenance or product development.

In the event of termination, suspension, or expiration of your account, your access to certain features may end immediately, and any rights granted to you under these terms may cease. Provisions relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law, and other clauses intended to survive termination will remain in effect as required.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, these legal terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where SWAPP is organized and operated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute related to your use of the service may be subject to negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings depending on the nature of the issue and any mandatory legal requirements. If specific dispute procedures are included in a signed agreement, those procedures will control.
