Terms of Use
We have taken every effort to design our websites to be useful and informative. Hopefully we’ve accomplished that—and would ask that you let us know if you would like to see improvements or changes that would make it even easier for you to find the information you need and want.
All we ask is that you agree to abide by the following Terms and Conditions. Take a few minutes to look them over because by using our sites you automatically agree to them. Naturally, if you don’t agree, please do not use the sites. We reserve the right to make any modifications that we deem necessary at any time. Please continue to check these terms to see what those changes may be! Your continued use of the Church of God of Prophecy websites means that you accept those changes.

You may not, however, copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, or distribute our Online Material in any way or for any other purpose unless you get our written permission first. Neither may you add, delete, distort, or misrepresent any content on the Church of God of Prophecy sites. Attempts to modify any Online Material, or to defeat or circumvent our security features, are prohibited.
Everything you download, any software, plus all files, all images incorporated in or generated by the software, and all data accompanying it, is considered licensed to you by Church of God of Prophecy or third-party licensors for your personal, non-commercial home use only. We do not transfer title of the software to you. This means that we retain full and complete title to the software and to all of the associated intellectual-property rights. You’re not allowed to redistribute or sell the material or to reverse-engineer, disassemble, or otherwise convert it to any other form that people can use.
Submitting Your Online Material to Us
All remarks, suggestions, ideas, graphics, comments, or other information that you send to Church of God of Prophecy through our sites (other than information we promise to protect under our Privacy Policy) becomes and remains our property, even if this agreement is later terminated.
This means that such submissions are not treated as confidential. If we use them, or one similar in nature, we are not obligated to pay you or anyone else for them. We will have the exclusive ownership of all present and future rights to submissions of any kind. We can use them for any purpose we deem appropriate to our Church of God of Prophecy mission, without compensating you or anyone else for them.
You acknowledge that you are responsible for any submission you make. This means that you (and not we) have full responsibility for the message, including its legality, reliability, appropriateness, originality, and copyright.
Limitation of Liability
Church of God of Prophecy will not be liable for any damages or injury that accompany or result from your use of any of its sites.
These include (but are not limited to) damages or injury caused by any:
Use of (or inability to use) the sites
Use of (or inability to use) any site to which you hyperlink from our sites
Failure of our sites to perform in the manner you expected or desired
Error or omission on our sites
Interruption of availability of our sites
Defect on our sites
Delay in operation or transmission of our sites
Computer virus or line failure
Please note that we are not liable for any damages, including but not limited to:
Damages intended to compensate someone directly for a loss or injury
Damages reasonably expected to result from a loss or injury (known in legal terms as “consequential damages”)
Other miscellaneous damages and expenses resulting directly from a loss or injury (known in legal terms as “incidental damages”)
We are not liable even if we’ve been negligent or if our authorized representative has been advised of the possibility of such damages or both.
Exception: Certain state laws may not allow us to limit or exclude liability for these “incidental” or “consequential” damages. If you live in one of those states, the above limitation would not apply which would mean that you might have the right to recover these types of damages. However, in any event, our liability to you for all losses, damages, injuries, and claims of any and every kind (whether the damages are claimed under the terms of a contract, or claimed to be caused by negligence or other wrongful conduct, or they’re claimed under any other legal theory) will not be greater than the amount you paid to access our sites.
Links to Other Sites
We sometimes provide referrals to and links to other World Wide Web sites from our sites. Such a link should not be seen as an endorsement, approval, or agreement with any information or resources offered at sites you can access through our sites. If in doubt, always check the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address provided in your WWW browser to see if you are still in a Church of God of Prophecy-operated site or have moved to another site. Church of God of Prophecy is not responsible for the content or practices of third party sites that may be linked to our sites. When Church of God of Prophecy provides links or references to other websites, no inference or assumption should be made and no representation should be inferred that Church of God of Prophecy is connected with, operates or controls these websites. Any approved link must not represent in any way, either explicitly or by implication, that you have received the endorsement, sponsorship, or support of any Church of God of Prophecy site or endorsement, sponsorship, or support of the ministry of Church of God of Prophecy, including its respective employees, agents, or directors.
