1. Introduction

Welcome to ChurchPlace ("Service"), a church management platform operated by Daniel Kuśmider, operating as a sole proprietorship registered in Poland under tax identification number NIP: 7922234750 ("Company", "we", "us", or "our").

By using our Service, you agree to the terms of these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Service.

2. Service Description

ChurchPlace is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed to help churches and religious organizations manage:

• Member profiles and directory
• Event scheduling and volunteer coordination
• Ministry team management
• Communications and notifications
• Forms and surveys
• Service planning (songs and playlists)
• Event synchronization with external calendars, including Google Calendar (via Google Calendar API integration)

3. Eligibility and Account Registration

3.1 Age Requirements

To create an account, you must be at least 16 years old. You are required to provide your date of birth during registration for age verification purposes.

If you are between 16 and 18 years old, parental or legal guardian consent is required. In such cases, the system will request a parent/guardian email address, to which a consent confirmation will be sent. The account will be fully activated upon obtaining this consent.

Persons under 16 years of age may not independently create an account on the Service.

The Google Calendar integration is available only to users who are 18 years of age or older.

3.2 Account Creation

By creating an account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information, including your true date of birth
• Maintain and update your information as needed
• Protect your password and keep it confidential
• Immediately notify us of any unauthorized access to your account
• Accept responsibility for all activities on your account

Providing a false date of birth to circumvent age requirements constitutes a violation of these Terms and may result in account suspension or deletion.

3.3 Church Organization Accounts

If you create a church organization on ChurchPlace, you represent that:

• You are authorized to act on behalf of the church
• The church consents to the processing of its members' data in accordance with our Privacy Policy

• Use third-party service integrations (including Google Calendar) in a manner that violates the terms of use of those services

5. User Content

5.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of content you upload to the Service. By uploading content, you grant us a limited license to store, display, and process it to the extent necessary to provide the Service.

5.2 Third-Party Service Data

Data synchronized from third-party services (such as Google Calendar) remains your property and is subject to both these Terms and the terms of use of the respective third-party service.

You may not upload content that:

• Infringes intellectual property rights
• Contains personal data of individuals without their consent
• Is defamatory, hateful, or discriminatory
• Violates applicable laws

6. Third-Party Service Integrations

6.1 Google Calendar

ChurchPlace offers an optional integration with Google Calendar via the Google Calendar API. This integration:

• Requires your explicit consent via the OAuth 2.0 authentication process
• Enables synchronization of church events with your Google Calendar
• Enables display of your availability (free/busy) to facilitate ministry scheduling
• May be disconnected at any time via your ChurchPlace account settings or via your Google Account permissions page (https://myaccount.google.com/permissions (opens in new tab))

6.2 Third-Party Service Terms

By using third-party service integrations, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Use of Google services is subject to Google's Terms of Service (https://policies.google.com/terms (opens in new tab)) and Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy (opens in new tab))
• ChurchPlace is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Google LLC
• ChurchPlace is not responsible for the availability, operation, or changes to third-party services
• In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the terms of a third-party service with respect to data from that service, the third-party service terms shall prevail

6.3 Disconnecting Integrations

Upon disconnecting the Google Calendar integration:

• Data synchronization will stop immediately
• OAuth authentication tokens will be revoked
