These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and ChurchGrid (“ChurchGrid,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using church-grid.com and related services (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, church administrators, and advertisers.
ChurchGrid is a sermon streaming and church discovery platform. We aggregate publicly available sermon content from churches and make it searchable and streamable. We do not host video content — all video is streamed from YouTube.
ChurchGrid uses YouTube API Services to surface sermon content. By using ChurchGrid, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.

Promotional clip license (church opt-in). If an authorized representative of a church enables “Let ChurchGrid feature short clips of our sermons” (for example, during the claim-your-church process), that church grants ChurchGrid a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable license to reproduce, edit, and publicly display short excerpts (generally 60 seconds or less) of the church’s publicly available sermon recordings to promote the church and the ChurchGrid platform, including on third-party social media. The church represents that it owns or controls the rights to grant this license. ChurchGrid attributes the church and links to its ChurchGrid profile, and excludes third-party musical works — ChurchGrid does not use clips containing licensed worship music. A church may revoke this license at any time via its church settings or by contacting us, after which ChurchGrid will stop creating new clips and remove existing clips from ChurchGrid-controlled channels within a reasonable period; copies already redistributed by third parties may persist.
ChurchGrid offers optional paid subscriptions: Premium for individual viewers and Church Pro for churches. Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you agree that:

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. See our DMCA Policy for how to submit a notice or counter-notice. We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. If we terminate a paid subscription for reasons other than your violation of these Terms, we will refund the unused portion of your current billing period. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
Sermons, live streams, and church information come from churches and YouTube. We do not endorse or verify the theological positions of any church or sermon, and we are not responsible for third-party content or services, including YouTube.
Some features, such as sermon notes, summaries, key moments, and topics, are generated automatically using AI and auto-generated captions. They may contain errors and are not a substitute for the original sermon.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CHURCHGRID AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ChurchGrid and its owners, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or any content you submit, including ads and church listing information.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms on this page with a new “Last updated” date, and for material changes we will give additional notice, such as by email or a notice on the Service. Changes apply going forward; continued use of the Service after they take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
