Terms of Service
Last Updated: August 13, 2024
1. Introduction
This page outlines the Terms of Service under which Church Service Hub LLC ("we," "our," or "us") provides the use of our Church Service Hub software service, websites, and desktop and mobile applications (collectively referred to herein as "Church Service Hub" or "CSH").
Please read this page carefully. By using Church Service Hub, "you" (whether you are a Customer, Organization Administrator, Authorized User, or Individual, as described in further detail below) are indicating your acceptance to be bound by these Terms of Service. In other words, these Terms of Service are a binding contract between you and us. If you are unwilling to be bound to these Terms of Service, please do not use Church Service Hub.
By entering into these Terms of Service, you further acknowledge your understanding and acceptance of our Privacy Policy.
Please note that these Terms of Service are subject to change. We may, in our sole discretion, revise the Terms of Service at any time by updating this page. You should visit this page periodically to review the Terms of Service, as it is binding upon you.
In addition, please be advised that this Agreement contains provisions that govern how disputes between us are resolved, including arbitration, a jury trial waiver, and a class action waiver.
2. Definitions and User Roles
Church Service Hub supports four categories of users: Customers, Organization Administrators, Authorized Users, and Individuals. Each type of user has different permissions and responsibilities, which are more fully defined below. For ease of reference, we will use the term "you" in these Terms of Service to refer to the user of Church Service Hub (whether they be a Customer, Organization Administrator, Authorized User, or Individual).
2.1. Customers
The organization (e.g., the Church and ministries) is our customer (the "Customer"). An individual who has the full authority to enter into binding contracts and conduct business on behalf of the Customer (the "Initial User") must be the person who creates the Church Service Hub account on the Customer's behalf (the "Account"). We may require the Initial User to provide proof of authority to enter into contracts on behalf of the Customer, and we reserve the right to suspend the Customer's access to Church Service Hub until such proof is provided.
However, we specifically disclaim all liability for an Account that was opened by an individual who had no authority to do so on the Customer's behalf.
By creating an Account, the Customer represents and warrants that the Initial User has full authority to create the Account; that all registration information that the Initial User submits is truthful and accurate; and that the Customer will maintain the accuracy of such information. If any of the Account information changes, the Account must be immediately updated with the current information. Information related to the Account can be changed or updated by going to the "Settings" area of Church Service Hub and modifying the pertinent information. You can also contact us with questions on how to update or change your information by email at support@churchservicehub.com.
2.2. Organization Administrators
Upon the creation of the Account, the Initial User is automatically deemed an Organization Administrator of the Account. The Initial User may delegate additional administrators who have full access to manage the Account and use Church Service Hub (collectively, the "Organization Administrators"). The Organization Administrators must also have full authority to enter into binding contracts and conduct business on behalf of the Customer. We may require the Organization Administrators to provide proof that they have the authority to enter into contracts on behalf of the Customer. However, we specifically disclaim all liability for the actions of Organization Administrators who had no authority to act on the Customer's behalf.
Organization Administrators may be added or deleted by another Organization Administrator. In the event an Organization Administrator is deleted, the Organization Administrator shall cease to have access to Church Service Hub and any information within Church Service Hub. In addition, an Organization Administrator, acting on behalf of the Customer, may delete the Account and therefore all data and information related to the Account in Church Service Hub. Organization Administrators, acting on behalf of the Customer, may also rename the Account or sign up for additional features of Church Service Hub. However, Organization Administrators shall not take any action or inaction that is disparaging to the Customer or contrary to the Customer's mission or instructions. We are not liable for the conduct of a Customer or Organization Administrator, including, without limitation, deletion of data, improper use of data, inappropriate information posted, violation of laws related to privacy, or any other conduct by a Customer or Organization Administrator.
In the event of a conflict among Organization Administrators or between Organization Administrators and the Customer, the Customer must resolve the issue and provide us with written instructions on how to proceed that are signed by the Senior Leader of the organization. We will proceed based on those instructions. In the event of a conflict over the identity of the Senior Leader of the organization, we will act in accordance with a court order that names the Senior Leader of the organization. If a dispute requires us to engage counsel, the Customer agrees to pay our fees and costs. We may suspend the Church Service Hub account until said conflict is resolved.
2.3. Authorized Users
"Authorized Users" are users who are granted permission to access Church Service Hub by either (i) an Organization Administrator, or (ii) another Authorized User that has been given the permissions to add additional Authorized Users by an Organizational Administrator. However, Authorized Users will not have access to the same administrative features as Organization Administrators. Authorized Users acknowledge and agree that an Organization Administrator or another Authorized User may (a) remove their access to Church Service Hub; (b) delete or change any information that such user has entered into Church Service Hub; or (c) delete the entire Account, which would result in the deletion of all data from Authorized Users.
Authorized Users shall not take any action or inaction that interferes with the Customer's ability to use Church Service Hub, is disparaging to the Customer, or is contrary to the Customer's mission and/or instructions.
2.4. Individuals
"Individuals" are single users who have a connection with the Customer (e.g., a member of the congregation). Individuals can sign up to use and access certain features of Church Service Hub, such as event registration and donations. To be clear, Individuals do not have full access to all features of Church Service Hub, and Individuals' accounts are linked to the corresponding Customer. This means that the Customer, Organizational Administrators, and/or Authorized Users can view information and data that Individuals have entered into Church Service Hub.
Individuals acknowledge and agree that the Customer and its agents can view, access, and use the information and data Individuals have entered into Church Service Hub. Individuals also acknowledge and agree that Organization Administrators or Authorized Users may (a) remove their access to Church Service Hub; (b) delete or change any information that such Individual has entered into Church Service Hub; or (c) delete the entire Account, which would result in the deletion of all data from Individuals.
3. Responsibilities of Users
3.1. Responsibilities of the Customer
The Customer shall ensure that the Customer and all Organization Administrators, Authorized Users, and Individuals comply with these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. The Customer further represents and warrants that it is responsible for itself as well as the conduct of Organization Administrators, Authorized Users, and Individuals. The Customer agrees to hold us harmless for the conduct of the Customer, the Organization Administrators, the Authorized Users, and the Individuals per Section 13 (Indemnification). The Customer shall cooperate with us in ensuring that they, Organization Administrators, Authorized Users, and Individuals comply with these Terms of Service.
Some of the features of Church Service Hub allow the Customer, Organization Administrators, Authorized Users, or Individuals to enter data into Church Service Hub ("Customer Data"). Customer Data may include or incorporate information related to third-party individuals -- for example, the names and addresses of the Customer's members, and any donations from said members ("Third-Party Information"). The Customer represents and warrants that it has the rights, basis, and permissions to enter the Customer Data and Third-Party Information into Church Service Hub. The Customer further understands and agrees that it shall bear all responsibility for the Customer Data and Third-Party Information, and the Customer shall resolve all disputes involving the Third-Party Information.
In the event that we are contacted by a person who has a dispute related to the Customer Data or Third-Party Information, we will notify the Customer within 45 days. We have the right to suspend or terminate the Church Service Hub account until the Customer and said person resolve their dispute. The Customer represents and warrants that it will hold us harmless from all claims and/or disputes related to the Customer Data and Third-Party Information, as more fully described in Section 13 (Indemnification).
To be clear, the Customer is responsible for complying with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and represents and warrants that it and its Organization Administrators, Authorized Users, and Individuals will not use Church Service Hub in a manner that violates the laws, rules, and regulations in the applicable jurisdiction.
3.2. Responsibilities of Organization Administrators
Organization Administrators shall follow the instructions of the Customer and shall comply with the Customer's policies and practices that are relevant to the use of Church Service Hub. Organization Administrators shall also provide us with all necessary rights, permissions, and/or consents necessary to grant us the rights and licenses in these Terms of Service, and all rights, permissions, and/or consents necessary for the lawful use and transmission of personal information and data that is required for the use and operation of Church Service Hub.
Furthermore, Organization Administrators shall (a) ensure that Authorized Users and Individuals understand and comply with all Customer policies and practices that are relevant to their use of Church Service Hub; (b) ensure that the Authorized Users and Individuals understand and comply with these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy; (c) obtain all rights, permissions, and/or consents from Authorized Users and Individuals that are necessary to grant us the rights and licenses in these Terms of Service; and (d) obtain all rights, permissions, and/or consents from Authorized Users and Individuals for the lawful use and transmission of their personal information and data that is required for their use and operation of Church Service Hub. Organization Administrators shall cooperate with us in ensuring that they, the Customer, Authorized Users, and Individuals comply with these Terms of Service.
3.3. Responsibilities of Authorized Users and Individuals
Authorized Users and Individuals shall follow the instructions of Organization Administrators and the Customer. Authorized Users and Individuals shall: (a) comply with all Customer policies and practices that are relevant to the use of Church Service Hub; (b) comply with these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy; (c) provide the Customer and/or Organization Administrators with all rights, permissions, and/or consents that are necessary to grant us the rights and licenses in these Terms of Service; and (d) provide all permissions and/or consents to the Customer and/or Organization Administrators for the lawful use and transmission of their personal information and data that is required for the use and operation of Church Service Hub.
3.4. Responsibilities of All Users
All users of Church Service Hub (whether you are a Customer, Organization Administrator, Authorized User, or Individual) are responsible for their respective usernames, passwords, and the security of the Account. You may never use another's username and password. You may not allow others to access or use Church Service Hub with your unique username, password, or other security code. You agree to notify us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. You acknowledge and agree that we will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your username and password. You shall keep your account password secure, and take appropriate measures to safeguard the security of your username, password, and electronic device(s).
In addition, all users of Church Service Hub are responsible for providing their legal full name, a valid email address or mobile phone number, and any other information requested in order to complete the signup process. If any of this information changes, the information must be immediately updated with the current information. Information can be changed or updated by going to the "Profile" area of Church Service Hub and modifying the pertinent information. All users can also contact us with questions on how to update or change their information by email at support@churchservicehub.com.
Finally, all users of Church Service Hub shall be responsible for complying with these Terms of Service, and further understand and agree that they are responsible for all information, data, and content that they enter into Church Service Hub, and all activity that occurs using Church Service Hub.

We have no obligation to monitor Church Service Hub or your use of Church Service Hub. You acknowledge and agree that we have the right to monitor Church Service Hub electronically from time to time and to disclose any information that we deem necessary to satisfy any law, regulation, or other governmental request, to operate Church Service Hub properly, or to protect itself or its users, affiliates, partners, and contracted parties, as discussed in further detail in our Privacy Policy.
5.2. Security
While we take the security of Church Service Hub very seriously, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of Church Service Hub. Any such use shall be at your sole risk, and you shall relieve Church Service Hub LLC and our affiliates of all liability in connection therewith.
5.3. Third-Party Payment Processing
We use a third party to process payments related to Church Service Hub, which is currently Stripe. Therefore, you may be asked by the third-party payment processor to supply certain information, including credit card or other payment mechanisms. You agree that all information you provide to any third-party payment processor through Church Service Hub will be accurate and complete. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. We are in no way responsible for any charges you or (if you are a Customer) any Organization Administrator, Authorized User, or Individual incurs when making purchases or other transactions.

6. Payment, Refunds, Upgrading, and Downgrading Terms
6.1. How We Bill for Church Service Hub
If you sign up for a paid account, you have the option of paying by check or by credit card in the following manner:
If you elect to pay via check, we will send you an invoice 30 days before payment is due. You have the option to choose to pay for your account every three (3), six (6), or twelve (12) months.
If you elect to pay via credit card and you (i) initially sign up for a paid account, and (ii) do not cancel that account within 30 days, your card will be automatically charged starting on the 30th day after your account was initially created. We will continue to charge your credit card each month on the same day of the month that your credit card was first charged until you cancel your account with Church Service Hub. For example, if you signed up for a paid account on April 1, your credit card will be charged on May 1 (30 days later), and will be charged on the 1st of the month every month thereafter until you cancel the Services. If you cancel prior to the processing of your first invoice before the 30th day, you will not be charged.
To be clear, if you sign up for a paid account and (i) choose to pay via credit card and (ii) do not cancel at the end of 30 days, YOUR CREDIT CARD WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED THE AMOUNT OF THE PAID ACCOUNT PLAN AND YOUR PAID ACCOUNT PLAN WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY EXTENDED FOR SUCCESSIVE PERIODS OF ONE MONTH. AS SUCH, YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED AT THE THEN-CURRENT RATE ON THE SAME DAY OF THE MONTH, EACH MONTH, UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR CHURCH SERVICE HUB ACCOUNT. For current pricing, you can contact us or visit https://churchservicehub.com.
6.2. How We Charge for Paid Plans
Payments for paid account plans are processed through Stripe. You agree to pay the amount charged for the paid account plan that you selected. You are also responsible for paying any sales and use taxes that may apply to your purchase of the paid account. If you do not pay on time or if your payment method cannot be charged for any reason, we reserve the right to either suspend or terminate your access to Church Service Hub. We will not be responsible for any costs, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or related to the cancellation of your Services for this reason. Our third-party payment service provider (Stripe) may receive updated payment/banking information from your credit card or payment method issuer. The disbursement of this updated information is provided at the election of your credit card and payment method issuer. Neither we nor our third-party payment service provider is responsible for the distribution of your credit card or payment method information. It is at the sole election of your credit card or payment method issuer. Your credit card or payment method issuer may give you the right to opt out of the update service. It is your responsibility to contact your credit card or payment method issuer with regard to your right to opt out of the update service.
6.3. Account Upgrades
When you upgrade your subscription level, the new features will be available to you immediately upon upgrade, and the new charges will appear on your next billing cycle unless a 30-day free trial is available for those particular new features. If you sign up for a free trial, we will send you an email ten (10) days before the free trial ends reminding you that (a) the free trial is concluding in ten days, and (b) new charges will appear on the billing cycle after the 30-day free trial is finished. Please note when you upgrade from the free account to a paid account you will be billed and charged for your first month immediately upon upgrading and each month after that in accordance with the above section (How We Bill for Church Service Hub).
6.4. Non-Refundable Service
Church Service Hub is billed in advance on a monthly basis and is non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for unused months of Church Service Hub. In order to treat everyone equally, no exceptions will be made.
6.5. Taxes
We collect sales tax when we are obligated to do so, as determined by our tax advisor and applicable law. Sales tax is non-refundable. If you have a valid Tax Exemption Certificate, then we will abide by the law regarding charging you sales tax provided that you provide us with your valid Tax Exemption Certificate for our records. We will retain your Tax Exemption Certificate, as well as all tax records related to you, even after you are fully deleted from our system in all other respects.
6.6. Billing for Upgrades and Downgrades
For any upgrade or downgrade in plan level, the credit card that you provided will automatically be charged the new rate on your next billing cycle. Downgrading your Services may cause the loss of content, information, features, or capacity of your Account. We shall not be liable for any such loss.
6.7. Expired Credit Cards
In the event your credit card expires or cannot be charged, we must suspend Church Service Hub until you remit payment. You have 30 days to remit payment to us before we terminate your Account and your access to Church Service Hub pursuant to our termination provision below. We will not be responsible for any costs, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or related to the termination of your Account.
7. Cancellation and Termination
7.1. Canceling Your Account
The Customer is solely responsible for properly canceling the Account. An email or phone request to cancel your Account is not considered cancellation. To cancel the Account, an Organization Administrator must click on the "Accounts" link in the global navigation bar at the top of the screen. The Accounts screen provides a simple no-questions-asked cancellation link for each application. If you have questions regarding canceling an Account, we are happy to help. Just email us at support@churchservicehub.com or give us a call at (866) 726-2730. However, please be aware that you will no longer have access to Church Service Hub and all Customer Data will be deleted after one year from the date of cancellation, and in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Customer Data that is deleted is NOT recoverable. Thus, we require that the Organization Administrator who is canceling the Account on behalf of the Customer have the Customer's full authorization and consent.
We, in our sole discretion, have the right to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of Church Service Hub for any reason at any time, including a violation of these Terms of Service. In addition, in the event you fail to remit payment for Church Service Hub, we shall suspend your account and, after 30 days, terminate your Account. In the event we terminate your Account, the termination will result in (i) the deactivation or deletion of your Account, and (ii) the forfeiture and relinquishment of all Customer Data after one year from the date of termination has passed. After termination, you will no longer have access to Church Service Hub. As previously stated, we will not be responsible for any costs, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or related to the termination of your Account.
7.2. Cancellations and Terminations after Billing for Church Service Hub
If your Account is canceled or terminated before the end of the month that is currently paid for, your cancellation/termination will take effect immediately and you will not be charged again. However, we do not offer refunds if your Account is canceled or terminated before the end of the month.
8. Modifications to the Service and Prices
8.1. Reservation of Our Rights
We reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, Church Service Hub (or any part thereof), with or without notice.

We access your chat history solely to ensure compliance with these Terms of Service and to provide the services effectively.
You represent and warrant that you will not use the Chat Feature in any manner that is contrary to these Terms of Service, including to harass other users.

14.5. Arbitration
Please read this Section carefully. It is part of your agreement with us, and it affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION.
You agree that any dispute related to this Agreement, your use of Church Service Hub, or any dispute related to your relationship with Church Service Hub LLC or our affiliates, directors, officers, agents, shareholders, members, subsidiaries, and parents shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS), located in JAMS Austin Office 620 Congress Avenue, Suite 320, Austin, TX 78701.

The JAMS Rules of Arbitration are available on JAMS's website, JAMS URL - https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, with the prevailing party to pay all costs and attorney fees. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
14.6. Jury Trial Waiver
Please read this Section carefully. It is part of your agreement with us and affects your rights. It contains a WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
You hereby waive your constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Church Service Hub LLC in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
14.7. Class Action Waiver

14.8. 30-Day Right to Opt-Out of Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver & Class Action Waiver
You have the right to opt out of the Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver, and Class Action Waiver Provisions of this Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to either Church Service Hub LLC at 5900 Balcones Drive, Suite 20105, Austin, TX 78731, United States or support@churchservicehub.com with the subject line: "Opt-Out of Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver and Class Action Waiver Provisions") within (i) 30 days from the date you first create an Account if you are opting out the Organization, or (ii) within 30 days of first using Church Service Hub if you are an Organization Administrator, Authorized User, or Individual. If you are opting out the Organization, you must have your Opt-Out request come from the Senior Leader of the organization, and your Opt-Out notice must make it clear that the Organization is opting out of arbitration. If you send this notice, then the Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver, and Class Action Waiver Provisions will not apply, and you must bring claims per the Section labeled "Governing Law," below. If you do not send this notice, then you agree to be bound by the terms of the Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver, and Class Action Waiver Provisions in this Section. Agreeing to arbitration and waiving your rights to jury trial and class action participation is an important decision for you to make. It can shorten the litigation process and result in cost savings, but it also takes away certain rights, such as the right to a trial in front of your peers. Thus, please take time to carefully consider the Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver, and Class Action Waiver Provisions of this Agreement. Since the information provided in this Agreement is not intended to contain a complete explanation of the consequences of arbitration, class action, or jury waiver, you may want to consult an attorney.
