Terms of Service

These Terms are an agreement between you and James Hudgins Jr. ("we", "us"), who operates the Fellowship app ("Fellowship"). By creating an account or using Fellowship, you agree to these Terms, our Community Guidelines and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Fellowship.

1. Who can use Fellowship

You must be at least 13 years old. If you're under 18, you need permission from a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. You may not use Fellowship if we've previously banned you.

2. Your account

You're responsible for your account and what happens on it. Use your own name or a nickname, keep your sign-in secure, and tell us at support@fellowshipdaily.app if you think someone else is using your account. You can delete your account at any time in Profile.

3. Community Guidelines

You agree to follow the Community Guidelines in everything you share. There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive members. In particular, you agree not to share content that is hateful, harassing, threatening, sexual, violent, profane, illegal, misleading, spam, or that violates someone else's privacy or rights.

4. Your content

You keep ownership of the reflections, comments, prayer requests and other things you share ("your content"). By sharing it, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display and distribute it within Fellowship, and to format it for display (for example, as a share card), for as long as it remains on Fellowship.

Other members can read what you share publicly and can share your reflections outside Fellowship using the app's share feature, which shows your display name. Please only share what you're comfortable having seen.

You're responsible for your content and confirm you have the right to share it.

5. Prayers

Members can send each other prayers chosen from a list in the app. Prayers arrive without the sender's name. We keep a private record of who sent each prayer to prevent abuse, and members with a Premium subscription may in future be able to see who sent them a prayer.

6. Reports, moderation and removal

You can report content and block members in the app. We review reports within 24 hours. We may remove any content, and suspend or permanently ban any account, that we believe breaks these Terms or the Community Guidelines, or that puts members at risk, with or without notice. Content reported by several members may be hidden automatically while we review it.

7. Fellowship Premium

Fellowship Premium is an optional, auto-renewing subscription sold through Apple's App Store. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your device's Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. Premium features and daily allowances may change over time.

8. Scripture and app content

Scripture text in Fellowship is from the King James Version, which is in the public domain. The rest of Fellowship, including its design, text, prayers and software, belongs to us and is protected by law. We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by these Terms and Apple's Usage Rules.

9. Not professional advice or emergency help

Fellowship is a community for reflection and encouragement. It isn't a substitute for pastoral, medical, mental-health, legal or other professional advice, and it isn't monitored for emergencies. If you or someone else is in danger, call 911, or call or text 988 in the US.

10. Disclaimers

Fellowship is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise that Fellowship will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, and we aren't responsible for content shared by members.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of data, arising from your use of Fellowship. Our total liability for any claim relating to Fellowship is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $50.

Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

12. Indemnity

You agree to cover any claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) brought against us because of your content or your breach of these Terms.

13. Ending your use

You can stop using Fellowship and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms. Sections 4 (the license ends once your content is removed), 8 and 10–16 continue to apply after your account ends.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If the changes are significant, we'll ask you to review and agree to them in the app before you continue. The date at the top shows when they last changed.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Maryland, unless the law where you live requires otherwise.

16. Apple
