These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Preach360 platform, including related websites, mobile applications, tools, and all related subdomains and related services that these Terms are linked to (collectively, the “Platform”) and all services, features, content, and functionality offered on or through the Platform (collectively, the “Services”), provided by Cross-Tethered Preaching, Inc., a Georgia 501(c)3 non-profit organization (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not unequivocally agree to these Terms, then you are expressly prohibited from using or accessing the Platform and you must discontinue your access and/or use immediately.
These Terms apply to both individual users and entities. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf and to bind that entity to these Terms.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION (NOT IN COURT), YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. SEE SECTION 18 BELOW FOR DETAILS.
These Terms along with any registration information or ordering selection you make on the Platform and/or the applicable ordering document between you and Company form a legally binding agreement (collectively, the “Agreement”) and constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Platform and supersede prior agreements on the same subject.
1. The Platform and Services
1.1 The Platform is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered platform designed to aid sermon preparation and ministry development. The Platform offers three core components: (a) artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tool designed to aid sermon preparation and ministry development by coaching users through the process of writing sermons; (b) training resources, including prepopulated video content and guided workflows designed to help users develop and refine their preaching skills; and (c) a community feature that enables users to connect, share resources, and access free or paid content for personal use or ministry purposes.
1.2 The Platform should not be used as a substitute for independent theological study, pastoral counsel, or professional advice tailored to your individual circumstances. Although the Platform may assist you in preparing sermon content and other materials, all content requires your independent review and judgment before use. You are solely responsible for the accuracy, appropriateness, and suitability of any content you create, publish, or deliver using the Platform. We do not endorse, certify, or guarantee the theological content of any output generated by the Platform.
1.3 Where payment services are enabled, payments may be facilitated by third-party payment processors or financial institutions.

The Platform is not directed to children under the age of thirteen (13), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at legal@preach360.com.

4.1 As between you and us, your personal information, sermon content, and other content you create, upload, generate through the Platform (including sermons, outlines, notes, and other materials) (“User Content”) remains your property. You hereby grant us and our service providers a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, use, reproduce, process, transmit, and display such information solely as necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Platform, to comply with law, and as otherwise permitted by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

6. Content Licensing; Permitted Use
6.1 Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable Fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform and the Services for your personal, non-commercial ministry and sermon preparation purposes, or for internal use within the church, ministry, or organization associated with your account. This license does not include the right to sublicense, resell, or distribute access to the Platform or any content made available through the Platform.
6.2 Certain content available through the Platform, including training videos, curated sermon resources, and community-shared materials (collectively, “Platform Content”), is owned by or licensed to the Company. You may access and use Platform Content solely through the Platform for your permitted personal or ministry use.

7. Intellectual Property; Company Technology
7.1 You acknowledge that you are obtaining only a limited right to use the Platform. No ownership rights are transferred to you under these Terms. We (or our licensors) exclusively retain all rights, title, and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to the Platform, all related documentation, software, technology, code, know-how, logos, trademarks, service marks, templates, algorithms, models, and the underlying technology, processes, and methods used to generate any output, reports, or materials through the Platform (including those generated by automated or AI-enabled features), and any updates, modifications, or derivative works of the foregoing (collectively, “Company Technology”). For the avoidance of doubt, Company Technology does not include User Content (as defined in Section 4.1).
7.2 If you elect to provide any suggestions, comments, improvements, information, ideas, or other feedback to us (collectively, “Feedback”), you hereby grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, royalty-free right and license to use, copy, disclose, license, distribute, and exploit any such Feedback in any manner without any obligation, payment, or restriction.

8. AI-Enabled Features and Automated Tools
8.1 The Platform uses automated systems and machine learning or artificial intelligence functionality to provide sermon preparation coaching, content suggestions, summarize content, pre-populate fields, and support your self-directed use of the Platform. The Platform’s AI features search approved, curated content sources to generate outputs. All outputs generated by such features are for informational and preparatory purposes only and may be incomplete, inaccurate, or not current. You are solely responsible for reviewing and independently verifying all information provided through these features before relying on or acting upon it.
8.2 We do not warrant that any output generated by automated or AI-enabled features will be complete, accurate, current, or suitable for your specific situation. To operate certain features, we may transmit prompts, documents, or other content, as well as associated metadata, to third-party model and infrastructure providers engaged under written agreements requiring confidentiality and security. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any automated or AI-generated output and disclaim all liability arising from your reliance on such features.
8.3 We may engage third-party service providers to support certain automated or AI-enabled functionality. While we require that such providers implement appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards, we do not control and are not responsible for their acts or omissions. Use of AI-enabled features may be optional or subject to separate terms or disclosures. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any such features at any time without notice.
9. E-Sign Consent; Communications
9.1 By using the Platform, you consent to receive disclosures, notices, and communications electronically, including via email, in-app messages, and SMS, to the extent permitted by law. You agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You must maintain a valid email address and, if applicable, a mobile number.
9.2 You agree that we may send you emails and text messages, including transactional, operational, and marketing messages, possibly using automated technology, to the email or phone number you provide. Message and/or data rates may apply, and you may opt out of marketing messages at any time by following the instructions in such messages. You will keep your contact information up to date and will notify us immediately if your contact information changes. We are not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to communications.
10. Third-Party Services and Links
The Platform may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, content, or services that are not under our control, including identity verification providers, payment processors, cloud service providers, and AI infrastructure providers. We are not responsible for such third parties, including their content, accuracy, terms, policies, or actions. Your use of third-party services is entirely at your own risk and subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. Inclusion of a third-party link or integration does not imply endorsement. We disclaim all liability arising from your use of any third-party services, and you are solely responsible for reviewing applicable terms and assessing their suitability.
11. Fees and Payment
11.1 The Platform requires payment of subscription fees as described during the sign-up and registration or checkout process (“Fees”). All Fees will be disclosed to you before you are required to make a purchase. Unless otherwise specified, all Fees are stated and payable in U.S. dollars. Fees may include a recurring monthly subscription fee and any additional charges for premium content or other optional features, as presented to you at the time of registration or checkout. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel prior to the renewal date.
11.2 Except as expressly provided in these Terms, all Fees are non-refundable once charged. If you elect to pay by credit card, debit card, or other electronic payment method, you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge the applicable Fees to your designated payment method on a recurring basis in accordance with your selected billing cycle. You are responsible for ensuring that your payment information is accurate and current. If we are unable to process a payment, we may suspend or terminate your access to the applicable Services.
11.3 Our Fees are exclusive of all applicable taxes, and you are responsible for paying any applicable taxes, duties, or governmental fees. We reserve the right to modify our Fees at any time upon reasonable notice. Fee changes will not apply retroactively and, unless otherwise stated, will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle or upon your next use of the applicable service.
12. Modifications to the Platform and Terms
12.1 We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature, service, or component of the Platform at any time, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice. We will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Platform or any part thereof.
12.2 We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on the Platform or otherwise communicated to you. Your continued use of the Platform after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Platform. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
13. Disclaimers
13.1 THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING THROUGH AUTOMATED OR AI-ENABLED FEATURES, MAY BE GENERAL IN NATURE AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE MOST CURRENT THEOLOGICAL SCHOLARSHIP, BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION, OR MINISTRY BEST PRACTICES. YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT YOU CREATE, DELIVER, AND PUBLISH USING THE PLATFORM.
13.2 NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE PLATFORM OR FROM US OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE PLATFORM (INCLUDING ANY OUTPUT GENERATED BY AUTOMATED OR AI-ENABLED FEATURES) WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING US OR THE PLATFORM THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. USE OF THE PLATFORM DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY PARTICULAR OUTCOME. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PLATFORM IS A TECHNOLOGY TOOL AND THAT ANY CONTENT, SUGGESTIONS, OR RECOMMENDATIONS PROVIDED ARE NOT GUARANTEES OF ANY PARTICULAR OUTCOME.
13.3 Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, so the above limitations may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by applicable law. However, any statutorily required warranties shall be limited to the shortest period and maximum extent permitted by law.
14. Limitation of Liability
14.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR REPUTATION, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST OR INACCURATE DATA, COST OF COVER, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR COSTS OF DELAY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
14.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE PLATFORM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY TO ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY IN THESE TERMS IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
14.3 EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS SECTION 14 IS A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN AND A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
14.4 Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. None of the limitations in this Section 14 excludes liability for fraud or for death or personal injury to the extent caused by a party’s negligence.
15. Indemnification; Claims Releases
15.1 You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers (collectively, the “Company Parties”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (c) any information or content that you provide to us or publish, distribute, or deliver using the Platform, including its accuracy, completeness, or legality; (d) any User Content you submit through the Platform; (e) any payment instructions you authorize through the Platform; (f) any dispute between you and any third party; (g) our use, as contemplated in these Terms, of any information provided to us by you; (h) your breach or alleged breach of any warranty or representation under these Terms; or (i) any claim that your use of the Platform or content generated through the Platform infringes any third party’s intellectual property or other rights.
15.2 You also agree to defend the Company Parties against such claims at our request, but we may participate in any claim through counsel of our own choosing and the parties will reasonably cooperate on any defense. We reserve the right to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you. You may not settle any claim without our prior written consent if the settlement does not fully release us from liability or would require us to admit fault, pay any amounts, or take or refrain from taking any action.
15.3 Release and Waiver of Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE THE COMPANY PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO: (A) ANY RELIANCE ON CONTENT, OUTPUT, OR SUGGESTIONS GENERATED THROUGH THE PLATFORM’S AUTOMATED OR AI-ENABLED FEATURES, INCLUDING ANY THEOLOGICAL, FACTUAL, OR INTERPRETIVE INACCURACIES THEREIN; (B) ANY CLAIM THAT CONTENT YOU CREATED, DELIVERED, OR PUBLISHED USING THE PLATFORM INFRINGES ANY THIRD PARTY’S RIGHTS; (C) ANY REFERRAL TO OR INTERACTION WITH A THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER ACCESSED THROUGH THE PLATFORM; AND (D) ANY VOLUNTARY COSTS, FEES, OR EXPENSES YOU INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OPTIONAL FEATURES OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE PLATFORM. THIS RELEASE DOES NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS ARISING FROM OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD, NOR DOES IT LIMIT ANY RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
15.4 Waiver of Unknown Claims. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND RELINQUISH ALL RIGHTS AND BENEFITS AFFORDED BY SECTION 1542 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, WHICH PROVIDES THAT A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.
YOU ALSO WAIVE ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY OTHER STATUTE, REGULATION, OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLE OF ANY JURISDICTION THAT IS SIMILAR, COMPARABLE, OR EQUIVALENT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU MAY DISCOVER FACTS DIFFERENT FROM OR IN ADDITION TO THOSE WHICH YOU NOW KNOW OR BELIEVE TO BE TRUE WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS RELEASED HEREIN, AND YOU AGREE THAT THIS RELEASE SHALL REMAIN EFFECTIVE IN ALL RESPECTS NOTWITHSTANDING SUCH DISCOVERY.
15.5 Some jurisdictions may not allow certain releases or waivers of claims in consumer contracts or may impose restrictions on the scope of permissible releases. If any portion of this release or waiver is found to be unenforceable in your jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the release shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. You agree that this release is given in exchange for access to and use of the Platform, which constitutes adequate consideration.
16. Compliance; Regulatory Matters
16.1 You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Platform complies with all laws and regulations applicable to you, including those related to data privacy, intellectual property, copyright, and export controls.

17. Suspension; Termination
17.1 We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time with or without notice for no or any reason, including but not limited to if we believe you have violated these Terms, present a security or legal risk, if your account is overdue, or as otherwise necessary to protect the Platform or comply with law. We will have no liability for taking any such action.
17.2 You may stop using the Platform at any time. You may cancel your account or subscription by contacting us at support@preach360.com or through your account settings. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your then-current billing cycle, and you will retain access to the Platform until that date. No prorated refunds will be issued for any partial billing period. Any Fees paid prior to cancellation are non-refundable except as otherwise required by applicable law.
Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will continue in effect, including without limitation Sections 1 (The Platform and Services), 4 (User Data), 5 (User Responsibilities), 6 (Content Licensing; Permitted Use), 7 (Intellectual Property), 8 (AI-Enabled Features and Automated Tools), 9 (E-Sign Consent; Communications), 11 (Fees and Payment), 13 (Disclaimers), 14 (Limitation of Liability), 15 (Indemnification; Claims Releases), 18 (Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver), and 19 (General).
18. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
18.1 Informal Resolution. Before filing a claim against us, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at legal@preach360.com with “Dispute” in the subject line and a description of your claim. If we cannot resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days, either party may proceed as described below.
18.2 Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in Fulton County, Georgia (or, at the election of the claimant, in the county where the claimant resides). The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
18.3 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. YOU ALSO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
18.4 Exceptions. The following claims are not subject to the arbitration provisions of this Section 18: (a) claims for injunctive or equitable relief; (b) claims to protect intellectual property rights or confidential information; and (c) small claims court actions where applicable.
18.5 Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@preach360.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. If you opt out, neither you nor we will be required to arbitrate disputes under this Section, but all other provisions of these Terms will remain in effect.
18.6 Mass Arbitration Procedures. If twenty-five (25) or more similar arbitration demands are filed against us within a sixty (60)-day period or with the assistance of the same counsel or coordinated group of counsel (“Mass Filing”), the following procedures shall apply: (a) the parties and AAA shall select ten (10) demands to proceed as bellwether cases; (b) while bellwether cases are pending, all other demands that are part of the Mass Filing shall be stayed and no filing fees shall be assessed for stayed demands; (c) upon resolution of the bellwether cases, the parties shall engage in a single mediation session to attempt to resolve the remaining demands based on the bellwether outcomes; and (d) if mediation does not resolve the remaining demands, they shall proceed in batches of no more than fifty (50) at a time, with each subsequent batch commencing only after the prior batch is resolved. The statute of limitations and any filing-fee deadlines shall be tolled for demands that are stayed under this provision. If the AAA or the arbitrator determines that these Mass Filing procedures are unenforceable with respect to a particular demand, that demand may proceed individually in accordance with this Section 18, but not as part of a class, collective, or representative proceeding.
19. General
19.1 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.
