1. General.

By establishing an individual User (defined below) account or registering a Community (defined below) at sharechristglobal.org, submitting an Order (defined below) or otherwise using any sharechristglobal (defined below) products or services (the “Services”), you certify that you have read, are authorized to agree to, on your own behalf, on behalf of your Community, or on behalf of a business, as applicable, and agree to be bound by these sharechristglobal Terms of Service (“Terms”). By entering into this agreement with sharechristglobal, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“sharechristglobal”), you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with us. If you are under the legal age to form a binding contract then your parent, guardian or other legal representative must agree to these Terms on your behalf and you hereby represent and warrant that they have done so. In no event shall a person less than thirteen (13) years of age create a personal account or store personal information.

We may revise and update these Terms from time to time at our sole discretion. The date on which these Terms were last amended is shown above. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice before the date the change is posted. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. We encourage you to check this page each time you access the Services so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

For the purposes of these Terms “Communities” means faith-based organizations, educational institutions, nonprofit entities, and any other organization that purchases or licenses any Services for use by such Community and its Users.

The Services may contain Content that is not licensed to you. This Content is “locked” in electronic form and is included for your convenience. Should you desire to “unlock” “locked” Content you may do so by placing an Order to purchase a license for it.

Each License or LBS License is valid only for an individual’s non-commercial purposes or internal commercial purposes consistent with the intended uses of the Software as described in the Documentation or elsewhere, or for the internal purposes of a Community and its Users, as applicable. sharechristglobal does not transfer any right, title or interest to the Services or other intellectual property rights owned or distributed by sharechristglobal, other than the rights granted in these Terms. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, sharechristglobal may suspend or terminate access to the Services for any licensee in breach of these Terms.

10. Registration Requirement for Certain Services.

A number of sharechristglobal Services require the licensee to register with sharechristglobalbefore the Service may be used. Registration may be accomplished via the Internet. Registration helps protect the owners and publishers of copyrighted Content and encourages more publishers to release their Content electronically. You may register anonymously but we may not provide certain types of support or opportunities to participate in certain online features if you choose to do so. Registration with sharechristglobal implies registration with the Content owners whose Content you have licensed for use as part of the Services subject to your Orders. We may share your registration information with the owners of Content you have licensed consistently with the terms of our Privacy Policy.
