Terms of Service

Your use of this website and the Service (as defined below) is governed by the following Terms of Service (“TOS”) and by using this website you agree to abide by these TOS.

Worship Central
This website (“the Site”) and the Worship Central service (“the Service”) is owned and operated by Alpha International (“AI”), a registered charity [no.1086179] and a private company limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales [no. 4157379], of Holy Trinity Brompton, Brompton Road, London SW7 1JA.

AI’s aim is to encourage the spread of the Christian Gospel, in particular by way of the Alpha course and those churches, organisations and individuals that support it.

Description of the Service
The Service is a web-based service. It allows its users to post comments and to submit items for inclusion on the Site. The Service may be used through a web browser. Once registered with the Service, each user may submit text, data, messages, or information concerning or linked to software, music, sound, photography, graphics, and video ("the Content"). This Content may reside on AI's servers or on the servers of a third party. At all times AI reserves the right to change or alter the methods by which the content can be placed on the website.

Registration
Registration and verification is required in order to create an Worship Central account. During registration, you must provide accurate, complete and current information about yourself in all required fields. Should any of your information change after submitting it to the Service, you are hereby required to update that information as soon as possible. Should AI suspect that your personal information is not complete, current, or accurate, your account may be subject to suspension or termination.  Users under 13 years of age are required to have a parent or guardian review and complete the registration process.

Content
Guidelines for posting to online Content shall be as follows:

All Content you post is your responsibility and must be your property. AI is committed to keeping the Service in decent standing for all audiences but is not responsible for the monitoring or filtering of any Content. All Content must meet the requirements of local and international law and/or regulation. In addition all Content should not be contrary to the spirit, aims and objectives of Alpha International. Subject to compliance with these guidelines, AI will generally not place a limit on the type, or appropriateness of Content. Should content be deemed illegal, AI will submit all necessary information to the proper authorities and will fully cooperate with them.

Should any Content be reported to AI as being offensive or inappropriate, AI may forthwith and without notice remove or modify the Content or at AI's discretion, may call upon you to retract or modify the Content within a reasonable amount of time, as determined by AI. Should you fail to meet such a request from AI, AI may terminate your account. AI will be free to delete, modify or remove any Content and may terminate and/or may bar access to the Service. AI, however, is under no obligation to restrict or monitor Content in any way 

Subject to the Licence below, AI claims no ownership or control over any Content. You retain all patent, copyright and trade mark rights in your Content, and you are solely responsible for protecting those rights. By posting any Content you represent that you have all rights and permissions necessary to post such Content (and that AI has the rights to serve such Content) without violation of any intellectual property or other rights or any laws or regulations; 

You acknowledge that AI does not pre-screen Content, but that AI and its designates shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or remove any Content that is available through the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, AI and its designates shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove any content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable, or that infringes or is alleged to infringe intellectual property rights. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content. Furthermore, AI reserves the right to limit access to your account, if found in violation of the TOS, by removing the Content and related user information from the member directory, search engine, and all other methods used in conjunction with finding Worship Central’ users.

Termination

General 
The TOS constitutes the entire agreement between you and AI and governs your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and AI (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the TOS) and any prior representations by AI. 

The laws of England and Wales shall govern the TOS and the relationship between you and AI without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and AI agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within England and Wales. 

The failure of AI to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. 

If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavour to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect. 

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. 

The section titles in the TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

Instructions on how to report violations of these Terms of Service may be located at contact us page links throughout the site.

AL may at any time revise these Terms of Service by updating this posting. By using this Site, you agree to be bound by any such revisions and should therefore periodically visit this page to determine the then-current Terms of Service to which you are bound.
