1. About the Services
COCVVP refers to the Church of Christ Vegivarpalem. The website provides church-related information and may provide online facilities such as meeting or class management, student registration, announcements, schedules, and access to related resources. Features may change, be added, or be temporarily unavailable as the church maintains its services.
2. Eligibility and Use by Minors
You may use the Services only where you are legally able to agree to these terms. A parent or legal guardian should complete or supervise registrations and online activity for a child where required by applicable law. Do not submit a child's personal information or photograph unless you are the child's parent, legal guardian, or otherwise authorised to do so.
3. Accounts and Sign-In
- Some features may require you to sign in using an identity or authentication service, such as Google Sign-In.
- You are responsible for using an account you are authorised to access and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure.
- Provide accurate, current information and promptly correct information that becomes inaccurate.
- Notify the church through the contact details published on its website if you believe your account has been accessed or used without permission.
- Access may be restricted or suspended where necessary to protect users, records, or the Services.
4. Registration Information and Records
When using registration or meeting-management features, you may be asked to provide details such as a participant's name, contact information, relationship or guardian details, group or class information, and other information needed to administer the relevant activity. You must ensure that you have permission to provide information about another person.
Registration does not guarantee acceptance, placement, or participation. The church may review, correct, or update records to administer its activities and maintain accurate records.
5. User Responsibilities and Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Services respectfully, lawfully, and only for their intended purposes. You must not:
- Submit false, misleading, impersonating, or unauthorised information.
- Access, alter, delete, or attempt to view another person's account or records without permission.
- Attempt to bypass access controls or interfere with the security, availability, or operation of the Services.
- Upload malicious code, harmful files, unlawful content, or content that infringes another person's rights.
- Copy, scrape, distribute, or misuse information obtained through the Services, including personal information about students or other participants.
- Use the Services in a way that harasses, threatens, exploits, or harms another person.
6. Photographs and Submitted Content
If a feature allows you to submit a photograph or other content, you confirm that you have the necessary rights and permissions to submit it and that its use for the stated church or administrative purpose is authorised. Do not upload photographs or content belonging to another person without appropriate permission.
You retain any rights you already hold in content you submit. You grant the church permission to use, store, and process that content only as reasonably necessary to provide and administer the feature for which it was submitted, subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law.
7. Privacy and Personal Information
Your use of the Services is also subject to the COCVVP Privacy Policy, which explains what information may be collected, how it is used, how it may be stored or processed by service providers, and how privacy-related requests may be made.
8. Third-Party Services and Links
The Services may rely on or link to third-party products and platforms, including Google services, for functions such as authentication, hosting, data storage, or document management. Those services are operated by their respective providers and may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. COCVVP does not control third-party services and is not responsible for changes or interruptions caused by them.
9. Website Content and Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the website's design, text, graphics, logos, and other materials are owned by or used with permission by COCVVP or their respective rights holders. You may view and use the Services for personal, church-related, and authorised administrative purposes. You must not reproduce, modify, publish, or commercially exploit protected materials without prior permission, except where permitted by law.
10. Availability and Changes
We aim to keep the Services available and accurate, but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or continuous operation. Features may be changed, suspended, or discontinued for maintenance, security, operational, or other reasons. You should retain copies of important information where appropriate and lawful.
11. Disclaimers and Limitation
The Services are provided on an “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, COCVVP makes no warranty that the Services will always be available, secure, accurate, or suitable for every purpose. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits a right or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, COCVVP will not be liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Services. This does not limit liability where such limitation is prohibited by law.
12. Suspension or Termination
We may suspend or restrict access where we reasonably believe these terms have been violated, the security or operation of the Services is at risk, or access must be restricted for legal or administrative reasons. You may stop using the Services at any time. Requests relating to personal information are handled under the Privacy Policy and applicable law.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms when our Services, practices, or legal obligations change. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
14. Governing Law
These terms are subject to the laws applicable in India. Any dispute will be handled by the competent courts having jurisdiction, subject to applicable law.
