Terms & Conditions

1. About these terms

These Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) form an agreement between you and Bourne Apps Ltd, trading as Bourne Apps (“Bourne Apps”, “we”, “us” or “our”), in relation to the AppForWorship application, its updates and related website or support services (together, the “App”).

By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you are using the App for a church, charity or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms for that organisation. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

You must be at least 18 years old, or have permission from a parent or legal guardian, to accept these Terms.

2. Your licence to use the App

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use the App on supported devices for lawful worship, church, community or personal purposes. We do not sell the App or transfer ownership of it to you.

You may allow authorised members or volunteers in your organisation to use the App on your behalf, provided that you remain responsible for their use and their compliance with these Terms.

You must not copy, sell, rent, sublicense, distribute, reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except where the law expressly permits you to do so.

3. Your songs, media and other content

You may use the App with lyrics, Bible passages, audio, images, notices and other material that you select or provide (“Your Content”). You keep ownership of Your Content. The App does not give you rights to use material owned by someone else.

You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining any licences, permissions, reporting arrangements or consents required to copy, display, perform, stream or otherwise use Your Content. This may include permissions from copyright owners, publishers, collecting societies or licensing organisations.

You must not use the App in a way that infringes intellectual property, privacy or other legal rights. We may remove access to features or material where reasonably necessary to respond to a valid legal complaint.

4. Free and beta software

During a beta period, the App is provided for testing and evaluation. Beta features may be incomplete, contain errors, change without notice or stop working. You should test the App before a service and keep an independent backup of important service plans, media and other files.

We may ask for feedback. If you choose to provide it, you give us permission to use that feedback to improve and develop the App without payment or obligation to you.

We may introduce paid plans or features in the future. We will tell you about the price and any additional terms before you are charged. You will not be charged merely because a free beta ends.

5. Acceptable use

You must not:

• use the App unlawfully, fraudulently or to harm another person;
• introduce malware or interfere with the App, its security or related systems;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to another user’s device, account or data;
• remove ownership, copyright or other notices from the App; or
• use the App to distribute content that is unlawful or infringes another person’s rights.

6. Updates, compatibility and availability

We may release updates that fix faults, improve security, add or remove features, or maintain compatibility. You may need to install updates to continue using all features. We do not promise that the App will work with every device, operating system, projector, audio setup or third-party service.

We aim to keep the App available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may suspend or withdraw all or part of the App for maintenance, security, legal or commercial reasons. Where reasonably possible, we will give notice of a significant permanent withdrawal.

If you obtain the App through Apple’s App Store, Google Play or another platform, that platform’s terms also apply. The platform provider is not responsible for support unless its terms say otherwise.

7. Privacy

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Notice. It explains what information we may collect, why we use it, how long we keep it, who we share it with and the rights available to you.

8. Your legal rights

Nothing in these Terms affects rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If you are a consumer, the App must meet any standards required by applicable consumer law. These may include rights relating to digital content that is of satisfactory quality, fit for a stated purpose and as described.

If digital content supplied by us damages a device or other digital content because we failed to use reasonable care and skill, you may have a legal right to repair or compensation. Contact us if you believe the App is faulty.

9. Our responsibility to you

We do not exclude or limit liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or breach of rights that cannot legally be limited.

If you are a consumer, we are responsible for losses that are a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for losses that were not foreseeable, for business losses, or for losses caused by your failure to follow instructions, install updates or maintain reasonable backups.

If you use the App for a business, charity or other organisation, our total aggregate liability arising from the App in any 12-month period will not exceed the greater of £100 or the total fees paid or payable by you for the App during that period. This cap does not apply to liability that cannot legally be limited.

The App is a presentation aid and is not a substitute for appropriate service preparation, operator supervision or backup arrangements.

10. Ending your use

You may stop using the App and uninstall it at any time. We may suspend or end your right to use the App if you seriously or repeatedly breach these Terms, create a security risk, or use the App unlawfully. Where appropriate, we will give you a reasonable opportunity to correct a breach first.

When your right to use the App ends, you must stop using it and remove copies in your control. Terms concerning intellectual property, liability, governing law and any provisions intended to continue will survive.

11. Changes and general terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the App, law, security or our business. We will make the updated Terms available and change the date above. If a change materially affects your rights, we will take reasonable steps to notify you before it applies.

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue. A delay in enforcing a right does not waive it. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may transfer our rights and obligations if this does not reduce your legal protections.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, you may also have the right to bring proceedings where you live. If you act for an organisation, the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction.
