Lightgliders may add, remove, restrict, or otherwise modify the Content and features available through Guest Access at any time.

Lightgliders may use third-party service providers in connection with certain aspects of the Service, including payment processing, data management, email delivery, analytics, and customer support. The collection, use, and sharing of Registration Data and other information are governed by the Lightgliders Privacy Policy.

- violate these Terms or the Lightgliders Code of Conduct;
- contain personally identifiable information, including a User’s real name, address, telephone number, or email address; or

Lightgliders reserves the right to change, remove, alter, or delete any username that violates these Terms or is otherwise inappropriate for the Service.
Account Owners and Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials and for activity occurring through their accounts or User profiles. You agree to notify Lightgliders promptly if you become aware of unauthorized access to an account, User profile, or other breach of account security.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Lightgliders will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from unauthorized use of your account, User profile, username, password, or other account credentials.
4.C. Account Access and Ownership
Accounts, User profiles, usernames, and other access credentials are provided solely for purposes of accessing and using the Service and do not create any ownership interest in the Service or any portion of it.
Lightgliders may take reasonable steps to protect the security and integrity of the Service, including restricting or denying access to an account or User profile if Lightgliders reasonably believes that the account has been compromised, is being used without authorization, or is being used in violation of these Terms.

If you provide Lightgliders with ideas, suggestions, comments, recommendations, or other feedback regarding the Service (“Feedback”), you agree that Lightgliders may use, develop, reproduce, modify, publish, or otherwise make use of the Feedback for any lawful purpose without restriction, compensation, credit, or obligation to you.
Feedback will not be considered confidential or proprietary.
6. Subscriptions
6.A. Subscription Content, Free Trials, and Subscription Types
Lightgliders offers Guest Access to certain portions of the Service without charge. Lightgliders also offers Subscriptions that provide Subscribers with access to Subscription Content not available through Guest Access.
Lightgliders may offer a free trial of Subscription Content to eligible Account Owners who choose to begin a Subscription. During the free trial period, the Subscriber will have access to the Subscription Content and features included with the selected Subscription.
A valid payment method may be required to begin a free trial. Unless the Subscription is canceled before the end of the free trial period, the Subscription will automatically convert to a paid recurring Subscription, and the payment method provided will be charged the applicable Subscription fee. Thereafter, the Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each applicable billing period until canceled.
If an Account Owner cancels during the free trial period, no Subscription fee will be charged. Unless otherwise stated at the time of cancellation, access to Subscription Content will continue through the remainder of the free trial period.
Eligibility for a free trial may be limited, including to first-time Subscribers or as otherwise disclosed at the time the trial is offered. Lightgliders is not obligated to provide additional free trials to Account Owners who have previously used a free trial or previously subscribed to the Service.
Subscriptions may include monthly, annual, or other subscription periods offered by Lightgliders from time to time. The specific Content, features, pricing, trial eligibility, and subscription periods available will be described at the time of purchase.
Subscriptions may be purchased only by individuals who are 18 years of age or older. An Account Owner may purchase a Subscription that provides access to Subscription Content for one or more Users associated with the Account Owner’s account, subject to the terms of the Subscription purchased.
A Group Leader may purchase or manage a Subscription for a User under the Group Leader’s supervision, provided that any User under 18 years of age has the authorization of a parent or legal guardian as required by these Terms.
By beginning a free trial or purchasing a recurring Subscription, the Account Owner authorizes Lightgliders or the applicable third-party payment provider to charge the applicable Subscription fee, together with any applicable taxes or other authorized charges, to the payment method provided when the free trial ends and at the beginning of each subsequent renewal period until the Subscription is canceled.
Lightgliders may add, remove, modify, or change Subscription plans, Subscription Content, features, or pricing from time to time, subject to applicable law. Any changes to the price of an existing recurring Subscription will take effect as disclosed to the Account Owner and as permitted by applicable law.
6.B. Purchase and Billing
By beginning a free trial or purchasing a Subscription, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age, are authorized to use the payment method provided, and that the payment and billing information you provide is current, complete, true, and accurate.
You authorize Lightgliders or its applicable payment processor to charge the payment method provided for the Subscription and any applicable taxes or other charges disclosed at the time of purchase or enrollment.
Subscriptions and access to Subscription Content may not be sold, transferred, traded, leased, sublicensed, rented, or otherwise provided to another person except as expressly permitted by Lightgliders or under the applicable Subscription plan.
Lightgliders may offer promotional pricing, discounts, gift subscriptions, promotional codes, or other special offers from time to time. Any additional terms disclosed in connection with such an offer will apply to that offer.
6.B.I. Purchases Through Third-Party Providers
Subscriptions may be purchased directly from Lightgliders or, where available, through an authorized third-party provider, such as the Apple App Store or Google Play.
If you begin a free trial or purchase a Subscription through a third-party provider, your trial, purchase, billing, payment, renewal, cancellation, and refund rights may also be subject to that provider’s applicable terms and policies. The third-party provider may process your payment and manage certain aspects of your Subscription.
You are responsible for reviewing and agreeing to any applicable third-party terms before beginning a free trial or completing a purchase. Prices, taxes, fees, trial availability, or other terms may vary depending on the provider or platform through which a Subscription is obtained.
6.C. Automatic Renewal, Cancellation, and Refunds
Unless otherwise stated at the time of enrollment or purchase, recurring Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period until canceled.
If a Subscription begins with a free trial, the Account Owner must cancel before the end of the free trial period to avoid being charged the applicable Subscription fee. If the Subscription is not canceled before the free trial ends, the Subscription will automatically convert to a paid recurring Subscription.
After the free trial period, an Account Owner may cancel a recurring Subscription at any time. To avoid being charged for the next billing period, the Subscription must be canceled before the applicable renewal date.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law or stated at the time of purchase, cancellation of a paid Subscription will take effect at the end of the then-current paid billing period, and the Subscriber may continue to access Subscription Content until that time.
Payments for Subscriptions are non-refundable and non-exchangeable except as required by applicable law, provided by the applicable third-party provider, or otherwise expressly stated by Lightgliders at the time of purchase.
Subscriptions purchased directly from Lightgliders must be canceled through the cancellation methods made available by Lightgliders. Subscriptions purchased through a third-party provider, including the Apple App Store or Google Play, generally must be canceled through the provider through which the Subscription was obtained and are subject to that provider’s cancellation and refund policies.
For current instructions regarding cancellation or for assistance with a Subscription, please contact Lightgliders Support or consult the account-management information made available through the Service.

6.D. License to Subscription Content
A Subscriber receives a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable right to access and use Subscription Content for personal, family, educational, ministry, and other authorized group purposes, subject to these Terms and the terms of the applicable Subscription.
Purchasing a Subscription or beginning a free trial does not transfer ownership of any portion of the Service or Subscription Content to the Account Owner or Subscriber.
Access to Subscription Content is conditioned upon compliance with these Terms. Lightgliders may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to Subscription Content or an account if an Account Owner or User violates these Terms or the Lightgliders Code of Conduct, subject to applicable law.
If a Subscription is canceled or otherwise ends, access to Subscription Content will end when the applicable Subscription or free trial period expires, unless access is terminated earlier in accordance with these Terms.

For example, Lightgliders may send you notices about your account, Subscription, security, features, updates, and special offers. Such communications may include transactional or administrative information, such as changes to your password, payment information, or Subscription, as well as promotional or informational communications where permitted by applicable law.
You may opt out of promotional email communications by following the unsubscribe instructions included in those communications or by contacting Lightgliders. You may continue to receive transactional, administrative, security, or other communications reasonably necessary to administer your account, Subscription, or use of the Service. Opting out of promotional email communications does not cancel or otherwise alter the status of your account or Subscription.
8. Code of Conduct
Lightgliders includes community features that allow Users to interact with one another in a moderated environment. Guest Users may interact through pre-constructed phrases and emotes and may view certain Safe Chat communications from Subscribers.

Lightgliders may also restrict, suspend, or terminate a User’s access to community features, an account, or the Service for violations of these Terms or the Code of Conduct.

15. App Store Providers
If you download or access the Licensed Application through the Apple App Store or another third-party app store or distribution platform (an “App Store Provider”), you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Lightgliders, and not between you and the App Store Provider. Lightgliders, and not the App Store Provider, is responsible for the Licensed Application and its Content, except as otherwise required by applicable law or the applicable App Store Provider’s terms.
Your license to use the Licensed Application is limited to a non-transferable license to use the Licensed Application on devices that you own or control and as permitted by the applicable usage rules and terms of the App Store Provider. For Licensed Applications obtained through the Apple App Store, the Licensed Application may be accessed and used on Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, including applicable Family Sharing, volume purchasing, or Legacy Contacts rights.
Lightgliders is responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the Licensed Application as specified in these Terms or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish maintenance or support services with respect to the Licensed Application.
Lightgliders is responsible for any warranties relating to the Licensed Application to the extent such warranties have not been effectively disclaimed under these Terms or applicable law. If a Licensed Application obtained through the Apple App Store fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, for the Licensed Application. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the Licensed Application.
Lightgliders, and not the applicable App Store Provider, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the Licensed Application or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the Licensed Application fails to conform to applicable legal or regulatory requirements, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar laws, in each case to the extent required by applicable law.
In the event of a third-party claim that the Licensed Application or your possession or use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Lightgliders, and not the applicable App Store Provider, will be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of such claim to the extent required by applicable law.
If you obtain the Licensed Application through the Apple App Store, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country or region subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms when accessing or using the Licensed Application, including applicable App Store Provider terms.
You acknowledge and agree that the applicable App Store Provider and its subsidiaries may be third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with respect to the Licensed Application obtained through that App Store Provider and, upon your acceptance of these Terms, may have the right to enforce the applicable provisions of these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary. With respect to Licensed Applications obtained through the Apple App Store, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and have the right to enforce these Terms against you as such.
Questions, complaints, or claims regarding the Licensed Application should be directed to Lightgliders using the contact information provided in Section 22.
16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE CERTAIN DISPUTES DECIDED IN COURT OR BY A JURY.
Any suit, action, proceeding, dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is referred to in this Section as a “Dispute.”
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any Dispute must be asserted within one year after the event giving rise to the Dispute. If applicable law does not permit this limitation, the applicable statutory limitation period will apply.
16.A. Informal Resolution
Before initiating arbitration, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days after one party provides written notice of the Dispute to the other.
Lightgliders may send notice to the mailing or email address associated with your account, if available. You may send notice to Lightgliders using the contact information provided in Section 22.
16.B. Binding Arbitration
If the Dispute is not resolved through informal negotiations, then, except as otherwise provided in this Section or prohibited by applicable law, the Dispute will be resolved through binding arbitration before a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the applicable AAA rules.
The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the applicable arbitration rules, arbitration will take place in or around St. Louis, Missouri and will be conducted in English.
Judgment on an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking temporary, preliminary, or other appropriate injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction when necessary to preserve rights or prevent immediate harm pending resolution of the Dispute.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the arbitrator, and not a court, will decide whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration and any questions concerning the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or scope of this arbitration provision.
16.C. Waiver of Jury Trial
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND LIGHTGLIDERS WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR DISPUTES SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THIS SECTION.
16.D. Individual Proceedings and Class Action Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER YOU NOR LIGHTGLIDERS MAY BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR ARBITRATION EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
17. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue
These Terms and any Dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be governed by the laws of the State of Missouri and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.
For any Dispute that is not subject to arbitration, you and Lightgliders agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in or serving St. Louis, Missouri, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
If you access or use the Service from outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with applicable local law. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit rights that cannot lawfully be limited under applicable law.
18. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Lightgliders.
Lightgliders may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, change of control, operation of law, or otherwise as permitted by applicable law.
These Terms will be binding upon and benefit the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
19. Enforcement and Severability
Lightgliders’ failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law or, where appropriate, modified to most closely reflect its original intent. The remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
20. Changes to These Terms
Lightgliders may modify these Terms from time to time. When changes are made, Lightgliders will post the updated Terms and update the “Last Updated” date.
Where required by applicable law, or when Lightgliders determines that a change materially affects your rights or obligations, Lightgliders may provide additional notice, such as through the Service or by email to an Account Owner.
Unless otherwise stated or required by applicable law, updated Terms will become effective when posted. Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and, if applicable, cancel your Subscription.
21. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Lightgliders Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly incorporated into these Terms or applicable to a particular Subscription, offer, feature, or portion of the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Lightgliders concerning your use of the Service and supersede prior agreements or understandings concerning the same subject matter.
