Using the Service

1. An internet connection is required to use the Service. You are responsible for acquiring internet access, including any equipment that is necessary to access the Service, at your own expense. At no time will we be responsible for charges incurred by you while accessing the Service, including but not limited to charges relating to data fees or overages charged to you by your internet service provider. We cannot guarantee the operability or general availability of the Internet or any other network or device that you might use or rely on to access the Service.

2. While we strive to maintain an industry-leading 99.9999% uptime, we do not warrant that the Service will be available at all times, or at a particular time. Many factors can impact the availability of the Service. Insofar that it depends on us, if the Service becomes unavailable, we will work diligently to restore access to the Service as soon as possible.

3. From time to time, we may need to temporarily restrict your access to the Service in order to perform maintenance, or to install updates or upgrades. However you agree that there is no compensation or credit provided to you for any disruption in service, or if the Service becomes unavailable, even if the outage is caused by us.

4. In the event that a natural or other disaster renders the Service unavailable for a prolonged period of time, we will make every effort to inform you of the outage, plus any steps we are taking to remedy the issue, and when we expect access to the Service to be restored.

5. For best results, we recommend the use of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari browsers when accessing the Service. Use of Internet Explorer is not recommended. Additionally, some third-party browser plug-ins, extensions, toolbars or add-ons may cause undesired conflicts with the Service.

6. Malware on your computer, proxies, script-blocking and content-blocking software or equipment may also cause the Service to perform in an unexpected or unusable manner. ChurchTrac shall not be responsible or liable for any performance or access issues caused by equipment, browsers (whether recommended or not), or other software, including but not limited to malware, plug-ins, toolbars, extensions, or add-ons.

7. All support requests must be initiated from our website(s). We reserve the right to charge a fee for support or assistance that is beyond the scope of what we consider normal or reasonable, or for any support that we are required to perform outside of our established business hours. We do not guarantee that support will be available at a specific time, or within a specific timeframe. Our support policies and rates, if applicable, will be posted on our website(s) or quoted to you on a case-by-case basis.

8. Certain features of the Service, when enabled, allow your church or organization members to access and update their own profiles and information. Certain data fields and information may be accessible, viewable and editable by members. Certain reports may be made available to church or organization members that contain personal or contact information for other members. If you enable or utilize these features, it is your sole responsibility to ensure that no confidential information is made available through the member access portal, and you accept full responsibility and liability for any sharing or breach of information through this portal by your organization's members or by any one else.

Payments and Refunds

1. You agree that we will charge you a fee to provide you with access to the Service. Your access to the Service is limited to the term of your subscription. You acknowledge that we will display a payment due notice to users who access the Service if a payment is due or payment due date is approaching.

2. In most cases we will attempt to notify you by phone and/or email when an account is due or past due, but we are under no obligation to do so. It is your responsibility to ensure we have a current phone and/or email address on file for you or your designated contact person. You agree that we will suspend access to the Service when your Account becomes past due. We may, at our discretion, grant you a grace period following the expiration of your Account in which the Service is still accessible to you.

3. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FAILURE TO MAKE PAYMENT ON A PAST DUE ACCOUNT WILL RESULT IN REMOVAL OF BOTH YOUR DATA AND YOUR ACCOUNT AS DESCRIBED IN THE SECTIONS BELOW.

4. At our discretion, ChurchTrac may offer you a trial period for you to use and test the Service. If you choose to continue the Service beyond your trial period, you agree to pay any applicable fees that coincide with the subscription or product that you select.

5. If no payment is made within 14 days after the conclusion of your trial period, we will consider your Account to be abandoned, and thereby subject to removal at any time, along with any and all Data you have entered or provided to the Service.

6. Likewise, any other Account in which you have previously made a payment and that is more than 40 days past due will be considered abandoned, and thereby subject to removal at any time. We may seek to notify you that your Account is due or past due, but have no requirement to do so before suspending or removing your past due Account.

7. Since we typically extend a grace period after the payment due date where your Account is still accessible, payments received after the payment due date will extend your access to the Service from the payment due date, or in some cases from the date the payment was made, at our discretion.

8. You can cancel your account at any time, however, refunds are generally not available for products or subscriptions purchased from ChurchTrac. No refunds are available for purchases or subscriptions purchased monthly, even if a recurring payment method is used.

9. Prior to closing your Account, you may request that we provide you with a full copy or export of your Data. We may be unable to comply with requests made after the expiration or cancelation of your Account. We reserve the right to provide you with a copy of your Data in whatever format we choose, and we cannot guarantee that the format we provide you with will be transferable to any other application or service. We reserve the right to charge you a fee not to exceed $50.00 USD in order to comply with your request. In the event your account has already expired or been removed from our system, or under any other circumstance that requires we extract your data from a offsite backup, we may also charge you a data restoration fee as described below.

10. In the event that your Account is terminated or removed by us for non-payment, or removed by us for any other reason, we may restore your Account, at our discretion, from an existing backup (if available). Backups are not retained indefinitely, so we can not guarantee that there will be a backup of your data available. In the event that critical Data is deleted from your Account by you, or one of your users or agents, accidentally or otherwise, we can restore your Data from an existing backup to an earlier point in time, if such backup remain.

11. The restoration fee for any data restoration service, which we may change at our discretion, is $50.00 USD. This fee is charged on a per-incident basis, and is in addition to your normal subscription fees. Additionally, if your Account is due or past due, you will also need to renew your Account for a minimum of one month at your current tier and subscription package. When your account is restored after removal for non-payment, your new monthly or yearly subscription cost will be based on our current published prices at the time of restoration.

Modifications to the Service and Prices

1. The price we charge you per name tier (base price) is locked to our current subscription rates at the time your Account is created. Your base price will remain unchanged for at least the duration of your selected subscription term (either 1 month or 1 year). Add-ons or upgrades prior to your subscription renewal may incur an additional charge.

2. We generally attempt to keep your prices locked to the same base price, even upon renewal. However, your price is subject to change upon your next renewal date with notice from us. Such notice may be provided at any time by posting the changes to the ChurchTrac website(s) or within the Service itself. Current pricing will always be published on our website(s).

3. We may occasionally introduce new features on an opt-in basis, or limit access to new features for accounts that are paid using an older subscription rate plan. In such case, you will have the option of switching to the new rate plan which includes access to such features.

4. We reserve the right to suspend, downgrade or discontinue any aspect of the Service, including the availability or functionality of any feature without any requirement of any notice to you.

In the event that a user is no longer authorized by you to access the Service, you should immediately remove or change that user's access credentials. 5. ChurchTrac has limited access to your Data. We will generally not attempt to view or modify your Data, with the following exceptions: (i) updates to the Service may automatically edit or modify portions of your Data; (ii) portions of your Data may be made available to our programmers as part of our error reporting process; (iii) in the event we are requested or required to do so by a law enforcement official or court of law; (iv) for the purpose of providing support, maintenance or repairs; (v) for the purpose of importing new Data provided by you.

This includes, but is not limited to, social security numbers, credit card numbers, healthcare information, bank account numbers and passwords. Information is stored in your database in such a way that it may be visible to other users of your database. Furthermore, in the event of a breach, this type of information could be unwittingly disclosed to third parties. If for some reason you absolutely need to store this type of data, you should not use the Service or any other database for this type of storage. This type of data is best kept offline under lock and key.

Account Access, Cancellation and Termination

1. ChurchTrac reserves the right to deny service to any person, organization or entity at our sole and absolute discretion. We do not need to provide cause or reason of such denial of service.

Please note that all access attempts are logged, and a record of your computer's unique IP address is recorded for such purposes.

An email or phone request to cancel your Account is not considered cancellation.
