Terms of Service

Church Worship Planner · Effective September 2, 2026

These terms govern your use of Church Worship Planner, a worship-planning and song-management service for churches, available at churchworshipplanner.com and at each church's own subdomain. By using the service you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

The service

Church Worship Planner lets a church maintain its member directory, plan worship services, assign volunteers to roles, manage songs and presentation slides, and send service reminders to the volunteers who are scheduled. Each church operates its own private site with its own data.

Accounts

• Accounts are created by invitation from a church leader. You may not create an account for someone else without their knowledge, or use an account that is not yours.
• You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for activity under your account. Tell us or your church administrator promptly if you believe it has been compromised.
• Your church's administrators control roles and access within that church's site, including the ability to add, edit, and remove member records.

Your church's content and copyright

• Your church keeps ownership of the content it uploads. You grant us only the permission needed to store, process, back up, and display that content to your church's own users in order to provide the service.
• Songs we supply in the shared public-domain catalog are provided as a convenience. Verify the copyright status of anything you intend to reproduce publicly.
• We may remove content we are notified is infringing, and may suspend accounts that repeatedly infringe.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Upload unlawful, harassing, or malicious content, or anything you lack the rights to.
• Attempt to access another church's data, another user's account, or any part of the system you are not authorized to reach.
• Probe, scan, disrupt, or overload the service, or circumvent its rate limits, storage quotas, or security controls.
• Use the service, or its text-message feature, to send marketing, solicitations, or bulk unsolicited messages of any kind.
• Resell or redistribute the service.

Text messages

Reminder texts are optional, off by default, and sent only to a member who entered and confirmed their own mobile number. Message and data rates may apply. Details, including how to stop them, are on the Text Message Program page. Churches may not use this feature for anything other than reminders to their own scheduled volunteers.

Availability and backups

We aim to keep the service running continuously and take nightly off-site backups, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Maintenance, updates, and outages will happen. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose; the app provides export tools for this purpose.

Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, revenue, or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim.

Suspension and termination

A church may stop using the service at any time and request its data. We may suspend or terminate access that violates these terms, endangers the service or its other users, or is required to be stopped by law. We will give reasonable notice where we practically can.

Changes

We may revise these terms as the service changes. The effective date at the top of the page shows when they were last revised, and continued use after a revision means you accept it.
