Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction

Sermons4Kids.com (“Sermons4Kids”) is a website domain owned and operated by Outreach, Inc. (“Outreach”) that provides kid-oriented, sermon-related resources and research, e.g., writings, photographs, videos, illustrations, graphics, music, sounds, and coloring, puzzle and activity pages (the “Media”) to its users (“Users”) pursuant to a limited licensing agreement, as further described below. Sermons4Kids also allows Users to subscribe to receive Media by email.

Upon using Sermons4Kids, User enters into a legally binding agreement (“Agreement”) with Outreach and agrees to all of the terms of service set forth below (“Terms of Service”) as well as the Outreach Privacy Policy found here.

Please read this agreement carefully in its entirety before downloading or using any Media available on Sermons4Kids. If User has any questions regarding this Agreement or its terms, please contact Outreach by email at: contact@sermons4kids.com.

2. User Representations

Users represents that User is (1) 18 years of age or older, or (2) 13 years of age or older and has obtained parental or guardian consent to enter this Agreement and use Sermons4Kids and its services.

User represents that any email address User provides to Sermons4Kids is User’s own email address. User will not provide information to Sermons4Kids related to a third party without that third party’s knowledge and consent. Users can create a User account to access Media through Sermons4Kids. User agrees to: (1) keep User’s password secure and confidential; (2) not permit others to use User’s login credentials to access User’s account; (3) refrain from using other Users’ accounts; and (4) refrain from charging anyone for access to any portion of Sermons4Kids or its services. User is responsible for anything that happens to or through User’s account until User’s account is terminated (as set forth below) or User can establish that User’s account security was compromised through no fault of User.

User agrees that Sermons4Kids can use the processor, bandwidth, and storage hardware on User’s computer, mobile device, tablet, wearable device, speaker, or any other device User utilizes to access Sermons4Kids in order to (1) facilitate the operation of Sermons4Kids, (2) provide advertising and other information to User, and (3) allow Outreach and Gloo, LLC, its partners, subsidiaries, and affiliates (collectively, “Gloo”) to do the same.

3. Membership

While some of the Media available on Sermons4Kids is free, much of the Media is only accessible and downloadable to Users who pay for a Sermons4Kids Plus membership (“Membership”). To acquire a Membership, User must provide Sermons4Kids with a valid, accepted method of payment (“Payment Method”). To retain a Membership, User must update User’s Payment Method, as necessary, to ensure that a current, valid, accepted Payment Method is always on file with Sermons4Kids. Membership will continue and automatically renew annually until it is cancelled by User or terminated by Outreach. Sermons4Kids will email User seven (7) days before User’s Membership renews. User must cancel User’s Membership before it renews in order to avoid paying Membership fees for the next billing cycle. If User does not timely cancel User’s Membership, Sermons4Kids will process the same Payment Method on file to renew User’s Membership. (For more information about Membership cancellation, see Section 12, “Cancellation and Refunds,” below.) If User fails to maintain a valid, accepted Payment Method on file such that payment cannot be made when it is time for the Membership to renew, User’s Membership will automatically be cancelled, and User will no longer have Membership access to Sermons4Kids Plus.

4. Activities Permitted by User License

By accessing, viewing, and downloading Media from Sermons4Kids – whether the Media be freely available or acquired as a benefit of Membership – User agrees to be bound by a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (“License”).

This License is offered to User conditioned upon User’s acceptance, without modification, of these Terms of Service. The License permits User to access, view, download, exhibit, perform, use as part of a sermon or teaching, or display Media in a church service of any kind, including but not limited to, a live stream or online service, ministry meeting, conference, Bible study, small group, life group, or any other gathering of people in a non-commercial church or ministry setting.

With the exception of coloring, puzzle and activity pages, the License also permits User to make one additional copy of the Media solely for the purposes of backing up or archiving the Media. User may reproduce coloring, puzzle and activity pages, as necessary, for ministry purposes; however, the copyright notice must be included on the reproduced pages.

The License also permits User to share Media with persons who are within and represent User’s organization, and directly contribute to conducting church services at User’s organization (paid or volunteer), provided that the recipient agrees to abide by these Terms of Service.

If User exceeds the permissible uses for the Media or otherwise violates these Terms of Service, the License will terminate immediately, all rights granted to User by the License will immediately revert to Outreach, and any further exploitation of any Media shall constitute an infringement of copyright.

5. Activities Not Permitted by User License

Except for coloring, puzzle and activity pages (as described above), User may not make a copy of Media available to church attendees/members/congregants (except those who contribute to conducting church services at User’s organization and agree to abide by the Terms of Service, as further set forth above).

User may not copy, distribute, or transfer Media to persons outside of User’s organization.

User may not upload media to a file location that unauthorized users can access.

User may not use Media for any commercial purposes, including but not limited to, reselling, incorporating into commercial works, or packaging with any other products for sale.

User may not exhibit, display, or broadcast Media in any fashion where the original content could be easily downloaded by a viewer through the internet, radio, or television, including but not limited to, User’s church website, User’s ministry website, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, GodTube, or any other public-facing video display platform with a download feature.

User may not use Media to create derivative works either by including a portion, or all, of Media in new works or as a template, reference, or outline for new works.

User may not incorporate Media (or any part thereof) into a logo, trademark, or service mark.

User may not upload Media to User’s church website, User’s ministry website, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, GodTube or any other social sharing platform as a standalone piece of Media outside the context of a church service.

User may not use Media in any manner that Sermons4Kids deems defamatory, obscene, libelous, or blasphemous.

User may not carry out any other activity with Media that is not specifically permitted by this Agreement.

6. Proprietary Rights and Copyrights

User acknowledges that Sermons4Kids contains Media that is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, or other proprietary rights, and that these rights are valid and protected in all forms, media, and technologies existing now or hereinafter developed.

User acknowledges that all right, title, and interest in and to the Media, including without limitation, any and all trademark, copyright, and any other intellectual property rights therein remain vested in and with Outreach, and nothing contained herein shall be construed to convey any rights or proprietary interest in the Media to User other than the specific limited License granted in Section 4 herein. User’s use of the Media binds User by the copyright laws of the United States and international copyright treaties.

User will immediately notify Sermons4Kids if User becomes aware or suspects that any third party (1) has gained unauthorized access to the Media through User, (2) is wrongfully using the Media, in whole or in part, or (3) is violating any of a Outreach’s intellectual property rights in and to the Media.

7. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

Outreach makes no warranties about Sermons4Kids of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the extent allowable by law, Outreach disclaims any express, implied, and statutory warranties regarding the Media, including warranties of satisfactory quality, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Outreach does not warrant that Sermons4Kids will offer uninterrupted service or will be error-free. Outreach does not warrant the accuracy of the captioning, keywording, or any other information associated with the Media. For as long as Outreach continues to offer Sermons4Kids and its services, Outreach may seek to update, improve, and expand the services provided by Sermons4Kids. As a result, Outreach allows Users to access Sermons4Kids as it may exist and be available on any given day and has no other obligations, except as expressly stated in these Terms of Service. Outreach may modify, replace, refuse access to, suspend, or discontinue Sermons4Kids or its services, partially or entirely, or change and modify prices for all or part of the services provided to Users, including Membership fees, in its sole discretion. All of these changes shall be effective upon Sermons4Kids’ posting of the same on its website or by direct communication to Users, unless otherwise noted. Outreach reserves the right to withhold or remove any Media from Sermons4Kids at any time, with or without notice, if deemed by Outreach to be contrary to these Terms of Service. For avoidance of doubt, Outreach has no obligation to store, maintain or provide a copy of any Media, except as set forth in the Outreach Privacy Policy.

Sermons4Kids may include advertisements for, make offers regarding, and/or provide hyperlinks to third-party websites, products, and services. Outreach is not responsible for the websites, products, and services provided by such third parties.

Under no circumstances shall Outreach, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, or agents be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages that result from (1) any User’s use of, or inability to use, Sermons4Kids, (2) the violation of any copyright law or any other intellectual property right by a User, or (3) any mistakes, omissions, interruptions, deletions, errors, defects, viruses, delays in operation or transmission, theft, destruction, unauthorized access, or any other failure of Sermons4Kids to perform under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, User agrees that Outreach’s maximum liability arising out of or in connection with User’s use of, or inability to use, Sermons4Kids shall, to the extent permitted by law, be limited to five (5) times the value paid by User for the relevant Media.

8. Indemnification

User agrees to indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Outreach, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents, to the fullest extent allowed by law from and against any and all liabilities, demands, suits, claims, actions, arbitrations, administrative proceedings, awards, judgments, losses, fines, penalties, or damages (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, investigative fees, expert fees, and costs) arising out of or in connection with (1) User’s use of Sermons4Kids, (2) any unauthorized use or allegedly unauthorized use of any Media, and (3) any other breach by User of User’s obligations under this Agreement. The terms of this section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

9. Termination

Outreach, in its sole discretion, may terminate any User’s email subscription at any time and for any reason, with or without notice.

User may terminate his or her email subscription by sending a request to contact@sermons4kids.com, or by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email User receives from Sermons4Kids.

Outreach, in its sole discretion, may terminate any User’s account, access to, and/or use of Sermons4Kids and its products and services at any time and for any reason, at which time: (1) User’s License will terminate immediately upon notice of same to User by Outreach, (2) all rights granted to User by the License will immediately revert to Outreach, and (3) any further exploitation of any Media by User shall constitute an infringement of copyright.

If User has exceeded the permissible uses of the License or otherwise violated these Terms of Service, and Outreach gives notice to User of same, User shall not be entitled to a refund of any Membership fees or direct purchase payments User has made to Sermons4Kids.

User may terminate his or her User account by sending a request to contact@Sermons4Kids.com, or by cancelling his or her Membership as set forth below.

Section 6 (“Proprietary Rights and Copyrights”), Section 7 (“Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability”), and Section 11 (“Miscellaneous Terms”) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

10. Changes to Terms of Service

Outreach may amend the Terms of Service at any time and may notify Users by posting an updated version of the Terms of Service on Sermons4Kids. Continued use of Sermons4Kids after an amended Terms of Service has been posted shall constitute User’s consent to such changes.

11. Miscellaneous Terms

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between User and Outreach concerning User’s use of Sermons4Kids and its services. In the event of any inconsistency between the Terms of Service and the terms contained in any purchase order or other communication sent to User by Outreach, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

Should any clause of this Agreement be found unenforceable, that will not affect any other clause, and each will remain in full force and effect.

Any failure by Outreach to enforce these Terms of Service or any provision thereof shall not constitute a waiver of Outreach’s right to do so.

In the event Sermons4Kids retains an attorney or collection agency to collect any outstanding payment due by User, User agrees to pay all collection costs, attorneys' fees, and court costs relating thereto, in addition to any outstanding amounts due and applicable interest.

The validity of this Agreement and the interpretation and performance of all of its terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado. User hereby irrevocably agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located in the County of El Paso, State of Colorado, and expressly waives any claim or defense that such forum is not convenient or proper for purposes of any action arising under this Agreement. The parties hereto waive any right they may have to a jury trial.

User recognizes that the Media available on Sermons4Kids possess a special, unique, and extraordinary character which makes it difficult to assess the amount of monetary damages Outreach might sustain by any unauthorized use of the Media. User agrees that irreparable injury would be caused to Outreach by such unauthorized use, and that injunctive relief would be appropriate in the event of a breach of this Agreement.

If after notice to User, User fails to take any action which User is obliged to take under the terms of this Agreement, Outreach shall have the right and option, but not the duty, to bring an action for specific performance to compel such action by User, and shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs, expenses, attorney's fees and disbursements with respect thereto if such specific performance is awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

12. Cancellation & Refunds

User may cancel User’s Membership by logging into User’s Sermons4Kids account, going to the billing page, and clicking "Cancel." User may be asked a series of questions which Sermons4Kids uses to improve its service. When User cancels User’s Membership, User cancels only future charges associated with User’s subscription. Cancellations are effective at the end of the current billing period, and as such, Sermons4Kids does not offer prorated refunds for cancelled Memberships. User will not receive a refund for the current billing cycle as User will continue to have the same access and benefits of User’s Membership for the remainder of the current billing period.

Please keep in mind that User is solely responsible for properly cancelling User’s account. While cancellation through User’s account is the simpler and preferred method for cancellation, User can also contact support (contact info below) if User needs assistance with cancellation.

Sermons4Kids offers a 30-day, money-back guarantee of its Membership products and services. If User is dissatisfied with Sermons4Kids during the first 30 days of Membership, User may receive a refund by emailing contact@Sermons4Kids.com or calling the toll-free number below.

13. Credit Card Fraud Policy

In the unlikely event that User experiences unauthorized use of User’s credit card on Sermons4Kids, User is advised to promptly report the fraudulent activity to User’s credit card company. User agrees that Sermons4Kids may contact User’s credit card company to report a claim of fraudulent use when Sermons4Kids suspects credit card fraud has occurred, or when User provides a specific written request for such a report. User requests to report fraud should be sent to Support@Sermons4Kids.com and must include the full name, email address, mailing address and phone number of the person claiming fraud. Please call Sermons4Kids at 1-866-899-4426, Monday through Friday 9am - 6:30pm (EST), to confirm receipt of User’s written request. Sermons4Kids will fully cooperate with all government organizations to the fullest extent possible to ensure those responsible for credit card fraud are held responsible.
