Terms of Service
1. Overview
This page outlines the Terms of Service under which SermonView Evangelism Marketing (“we” or “us”) provides the use of our InterestTracker software service, websites, and desktop and mobile applications (collectively referred to herein as “InterestTracker”).
Please read this page carefully. By using InterestTracker, “you” (whether you are a Customer, Church Admin, Authorized User or Individual, as described in further detail below) are indicating your acceptance to be bound by these Terms of Service. In other words, these Terms of Service are a binding contract between you and us. If you are unwilling to be bound to these Terms of Service, please do not use InterestTracker.
By entering into these Terms of Service, you further acknowledge your understanding and acceptance of our Privacy Policy.
Please note that these Terms of Service are subject to change. We may, in our sole discretion, revise the Terms of Service at any time by updating this page. You should visit this page periodically to review the Terms of Service, as it is binding upon you.
In addition, please be advised that this Agreement contains provisions that govern how disputes between us are resolved, including arbitration, a jury trial waiver and a class action waiver.
2. Customers, Church Admins, Authorized Users, and Individuals
InterestTracker supports four categories of users: Customers, Church Admins, Authorized Users and Individuals. Each type of user has different permissions and responsibilities, which are more fully defined below. For ease of reference, we will use the term "you" in these Terms of Service to refer to the user of InterestTracker, whether they be a Customer, Church Admin, Authorized User, or Individual.
Customers
The organization (e.g., the Church) is our customer (the “Customer”). An individual who has the full authority to enter into binding contracts and conduct business on behalf of the Customer (the “Initial User”) must be the person who creates the InterestTracker account on Customer's behalf (the “Account”). We may require the Initial User to provide proof of authority to enter into contracts on behalf of the Customer, and we reserve the right to suspend the Customer's access to InterestTracker until such proof is provided. However, we specifically disclaim all liability for an Account that was opened by an individual who had no authority to do so on Customer's behalf.
By creating an Account, Customer represents and warrants that the Initial User has full authority to create the Account; that all registration information that the Initial User submits is truthful and accurate; and that Customer will maintain the accuracy of such information. If any of the Account information changes, the Account must be immediately updated with the current information. Information related to the Account can be changed or updated by going to the “Church profile” area of InterestTracker and modifying the pertinent information. You can also contact us with questions on how to update or change your information by email at support@interesttracker.org.
Church Admins
Upon the creation of the Account, the Initial User is automatically deemed a Church Admin of the Account. The Initial User may delegate additional administrators who have full access to manage the Account and use InterestTracker (collectively, the “Church Admins”). The Church Admins must also have full authority to enter into binding contracts and conduct business on behalf of Customer. We may require the Church Admins to provide proof that they have the authority to enter into contracts on behalf of the Customer. However, we specifically disclaim all liability for the actions of Church Admins who had no authority to act on Customer's behalf.
Church Admins may be added or deleted by another Church Admin. In the event a Church Admin is deleted, the Church Admin shall cease to have access to InterestTracker and any information within InterestTracker. In addition, a Church Admin, acting on behalf of the Customer, may delete the Account and therefore all data and information related to the Account in InterestTracker. Church Admins, acting on behalf of the Customer, may also rename the Account or sign up for additional features of InterestTracker. However, Church Admins shall not take any action or inaction that is disparaging to the Customer or contrary to the Customer's mission or instructions. We are not liable for the conduct of a Customer or Church Admin, including, without limitation, deletion of data, improper use of data, inappropriate information posted, violation of laws related to privacy, or any other conduct by a Customer or Church Admin.
In the event of a conflict among Church Admins or between Church Admins and the Customer, the Customer must resolve the issue and provide us with written instructions on how to proceed that are signed by the Chief Executive of the organization. We will proceed based on those instructions. In the event of a conflict over the identity of the Chief Executive, we will act in accordance to a court order that names the Chief Executive. If a dispute requires us to engage counsel, the Customer agrees to pay our fees and costs. We may suspend the InterestTracker account until said conflict is resolved.
Authorized Users
“Authorized Users” are users who are granted permission to access InterestTracker by a Church Admin. Authorized Users will not have access to the same administrative features as Church Admins. Authorized Users acknowledge and agree that a Church Admin may (a) remove their access to InterestTracker; (b) delete or change any information that such user has entered into InterestTracker; or (c) delete the entire Account, which would result in the deletion of all data from Authorized Users.
Authorized Users shall not take any action or inaction that: interferes with the Customer's ability to use InterestTracker, is disparaging to the Customer, or is contrary to the Customer's mission and/or instructions.
Individuals
“Individuals” are single users who have a connection with the Customer (e.g., a member of the congregation). Individuals can sign up to use and access certain features of InterestTracker such as event registration and streaming events. To be clear, Individuals do not have full access to all features of InterestTracker, and Individuals' accounts are linked to the corresponding Customer. This means that the Customer, Church Admins and/or Authorized Users can view information and data that Individuals have entered into InterestTracker.
Individuals acknowledge and agree that the Customer and its agents can view, access and use the information and data Individuals have entered into InterestTracker. Individuals also acknowledge and agree that Church Admins or Authorized Users may (a) remove their access to InterestTracker; (b) delete or change any information that such Individual has entered into InterestTracker; or (c) delete the entire Account, which would result in the deletion of all data from Individuals.
3. Responsibilities of Customers, Church Admins, Authorized Users, and Individuals
Responsibilities of the Customer
The Customer shall ensure that the Customer and all Church Admins, Authorized Users and Individuals comply with these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. The Customer further represents and warrants that it is responsible for itself as well as the conduct of Church Admins, Authorized Users and Individuals. The Customer agrees to hold us harmless for the conduct of Customer, the Church Admins, the Authorized Users and the Individuals per Section 12 (Indemnification). The Customer shall cooperate with us in ensuring that they, Church Admins, Authorized Users and Individuals comply with these Terms of Service.
Some of the features of InterestTracker allow the Customer, Church Admins, Authorized Users or Individuals to enter data into InterestTracker (“Customer Data”). Customer Data may include or incorporate information related to third party individuals – for example, the names and addresses of the Customer's guests, interactions with those guests, and attendance information by those guests at the Customer's events (“Third-Party Information”). The Customer represents and warrants that it has the rights, basis, and permissions to enter the Customer Data and Third-Party Information into InterestTracker. Customer further understands and agrees that it shall bear all responsibility for the Customer Data and Third-Party Information, and Customer shall resolve all disputes involving the Third-Party Information.
In the event that we are contacted by a person who has a dispute related to the Customer Data or Third-Party Information, we will notify Customer within 45 days. We have the right to suspend or terminate the InterestTracker account until the Customer and said person resolve their dispute. The Customer represents and warrants that it will hold us harmless from all claims and/or disputes related to the Customer Data and Third-Party Information, as more fully described in Section 12 (Indemnification).
To be clear, Customer is responsible for complying with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and represents and warrants that it and its Church Admins, Authorized Users and Individuals will not use InterestTracker in a manner that violates the laws, rules and regulations in the applicable jurisdiction.
Responsibilities of the Church Admin
Church Admins shall follow the instructions of the Customer, and shall comply with the Customer's policies and practices that are relevant to the use of InterestTracker.

Furthermore, Church Admins shall (a) ensure that Authorized Users and Individuals understand and comply with all Customer policies and practices that are relevant to their use of InterestTracker; (b) ensure that the Authorized Users and Individuals understand and comply with these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy; (c) obtain all rights, permissions and/or consents from Authorized Users and Individuals that are necessary to grant us the rights and licenses in these Terms of Service; and (d) obtain all rights, permissions and/or consents from Authorized Users and Individuals for the lawful use and transmission of their personal information and data that is required for their use and operation of InterestTracker. Church Admins shall cooperate with us in ensuring that they, the Customer, Authorized Users and Individuals comply with these Terms of Service.
Responsibilities of Authorized Users and Individuals
Authorized Users and Individuals shall follow the instruction of Church Admins and the Customer. Authorized Users and Individuals shall: (a) comply with all Customer policies and practices that are relevant to the use of InterestTracker; (b) comply with these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy; (c) provide the Customer and/or Church Admins with all rights, permissions and/or consents that are necessary to grant us the rights and licenses in these Terms of Service; and (d) provide all permissions and/or consents to the Customer and/or Church Admins for the lawful use and transmission of their personal information and data that is required for the use and operation of InterestTracker.
Responsibilities of all Users
All users of InterestTracker (whether you are a Customer, Church Admin, Authorized User or Individual) are responsible for their respective usernames, passwords, and the security of the Account. You may never use another's username and password. You may not allow others to access or use InterestTracker with your unique username, password, or other security code. You agree to notify us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. You acknowledge and agree that we will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your username and password. You shall keep your account password secure, and take appropriate measures to safeguard the security of your username, password and electronic device(s).
In addition, all users of InterestTracker are responsible for providing their legal full name, a valid email address or mobile phone number, and any other information requested in order to complete the signup process. If any of this information changes, the information must be immediately updated with the current information. Information can be changed or updated by going to the “User Profile” area of InterestTracker and modifying the pertinent information. All users can also contact us with questions on how to update or change their information by email at support@interesttracker.org.
Finally, all users of InterestTracker shall be responsible for complying with these Terms of Service, and further understand and agree that they are responsible for all information, data and content that they enter into InterestTracker, and all activity that occurs using InterestTracker.

While we take the security of InterestTracker very seriously, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of InterestTracker. Any such use shall be at your sole risk, and you shall relieve SermonView Evangelism Marketing and our affiliates of all liability in connection therewith.
Third Party Payment Processing
We use a third party to process payments related to InterestTracker, which is currently Stripe.

You agree that all information you provide any third party payment processor through InterestTracker will be accurate and complete. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred.

8. Payment, Refunds, Upgrading, And Downgrading Terms
How we bill for InterestTracker
If you sign up for a paid account, you have the option of paying by check or by credit card in the following manner:
If you elect to pay via check, we will send you an invoice 30 days before payment is due. You have the option to choose to pay for your account every twelve (12) months.
If you elect to pay via credit card and you (i) initially sign up for a paid account, and (ii) do not cancel that account within 30 days, your card will be automatically charged starting on the 30th day after your account was initially created. We will continue to charge your credit card each month on the same day of the month that your credit card was first charged until you cancel your account with InterestTracker. For example, if you signed up for a paid account on April 1, your credit card will be charged on May 1 (30 days later), and will be charged on the 1st of the month every month thereafter until you cancel the Services. If you cancel prior to the processing of your first invoice prior to the 30th day, you will not be charged. See Section 8, below, for how to cancel InterestTracker.
To be clear, if you sign up for a paid account and (i) choose to pay via credit card and (ii) do not cancel at the end of 30 days, YOUR CREDIT CARD WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED THE AMOUNT OF THE PAID ACCOUNT PLAN AND YOUR PAID ACCOUNT PLAN WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY EXTENDED FOR SUCCESSIVE PERIODS OF ONE MONTH. AS SUCH, YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED AT THE THEN-CURRENT RATE ON THE SAME DAY OF THE MONTH, EACH MONTH, UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR INTERESTTRACKER ACCOUNT. For current pricing, you can contact us or visit https://interesttracker.org.
How we charge for paid plans
Payments for paid account plans are processed through Stripe. You agree to pay the the amount charged for the paid account plan that you selected. You are also responsible for paying any sales and use taxes that may apply to your purchase of the paid account. If you do not pay on time or if your payment method cannot be charged for any reason, we reserve the right to either suspend or terminate your access to InterestTracker. We will not be responsible for any costs, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or related to the cancellation of your Services for this reason. Our third party payment service provider (Stripe) may receive updated payment/banking information from your credit card or payment method issuer. The disbursement of this updated information is provided at the election of your credit card and payment method issuer. Neither we nor our third party payment service provider is responsible for the distribution of your credit card or payment method information. It is at the sole election of your credit card or payment method issuer. Your credit card or payment method issuer may give you the right to opt out of the update service. It is your responsibility to contact your credit card or payment method issuer with regards to your right to opt out of the update service.
Account upgrades
When you upgrade your subscription level, the new features will be available to you immediately upon upgrade and the new charges will appear on your next billing cycle unless a 30-day free trial is available for those particular new features. If you sign up for a free trial, at the conclusion of that trial period your payment method will be automatically charged. If no free trial period is available for an upgraded feature, you will be billed and charged for your first month immediately upon upgrading and each month after that in accordance with the above section (How we charge for paid plans).
InterestTracker is non-refundable
InterestTracker is billed in advance on a monthly basis and is non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for unused months of InterestTracker. In order to treat everyone equally, no exceptions will be made.
Taxes
All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes.
Billing for upgrades and downgrades
For any upgrade or downgrade in plan level, the credit card that you provided will automatically be charged the new rate on your next billing cycle. Downgrading your Services may cause the loss of content, information, features, or capacity of your Account. We shall not be liable for any such loss.
Expired credit cards
In the event your credit card expires or cannot be charged, we may suspend access to your InterestTracker account until you remit payment. You have 30 days to remit payment to us before we terminate your Account and your access to InterestTracker pursuant to our termination provision below. We will not be responsible for any costs, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or related to the termination of your Account.
9. Cancellation And Termination
Cancelling your Account
Customer is solely responsible for properly cancelling the Account. An email or phone request to cancel your Account is not considered cancellation. To cancel the Account, an Church Admin must click on the “Billing & subscription” link in the account menu at the top right of the screen. This screen provides a simple no-questions-asked cancellation link for each application. If you have questions regarding cancelling an Account, we are happy to help. Just email us at support@interesttracker.org or call us at (360) 844-1103. However, please be aware that you will no longer have access to InterestTracker and all Customer Data will be deleted after one (1) year. Customer Data cannot be recovered once your account is cancelled and one year from the date of cancellation has passed. Thus, we require that the Church Admin who is cancelling the Account on behalf of the Customer have the Customer's full authorization and consent.
We, in our sole discretion, have the right to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of InterestTracker for any reason at any time, including a violation of these Terms of Service. In addition, in the event you fail to remit payment for InterestTracker, we shall suspend your account and, after 30 days, terminate your Account. In the event we terminate your Account, the termination will result in (i) the deactivation or deletion of your Account, and (ii) the forfeiture and relinquishment of all Customer Data after one year from the date of termination has passed. After termination, you will no longer have access to InterestTracker. As previously stated, we will not be responsible for any costs, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or related to the termination of your Account.
Cancellations and Terminations after billing for InterestTracker
If your Account is cancelled or terminated before the end of the month that is currently paid for, your cancellation/termination will take effect immediately and you will not be charged again. However, we do not offer refunds if your Account is cancelled or terminated before the end of the month.
10. Modifications to the Service and Prices
Reservation of our rights
We reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, InterestTracker (or any part thereof), with or without notice.

Such notice may be provided at any time by posting the changes to our website (https://interesttracker.org) and by emailing the Customer at the Church Admins’ email addresses provided through InterestTracker. The Customer agrees to receive such emails regarding pricing changes. We shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of InterestTracker.
11. Text Messaging
InterestTracker enables text messages to be sent by the Customer to Individuals who have opted in to receiving those messages.
You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Just text "STOP" to the short code. After you send the SMS message "STOP" to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to join again, contact the Customer (i.e., your church).
If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program you can reply with the keyword HELP for more assistance, or you can get help directly at support@interesttracker.org or (360) 844-1103.
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
As always, message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to or from you. Message frequency varies. If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider.
If you have any questions regarding privacy, please read our privacy policy: https://interesttracker.org/privacy.
Credits and Billing for Text Messaging Services
For InterestTracker text messaging services, Customers can purchase prepaid credit packages for the then-current rates, which can be viewed on https://interesttracker.org. These credits can be used for sending messages, typically at an exchange of 1 credit for 1 message segment (this may differ in the case of messages longer than 160 characters, international texts, MMS, or other rate exceptions, which will be made clear at the time of sending). There is no recurring billing or subscription for these purchases. Certain subscription plans may include a block of credits each month, which if unused will rollover for one additional, after which time they will expire.
Credits for text messaging services may only be used by the purchaser of the credit. The credit packages cannot be transferred, sold, or gifted to other Customers. Non-subscription credits will expire twelve months from the purchase date.
If you are an Individual receiving text messages from Customer through InterestTracker, message and data rates may apply. If you do not wish to receive these messages, please text "STOP" to the short code. After you send the SMS message "STOP" to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages through InterestTracker. If you want to join again, contact the Customer (i.e., your church).

16. Miscellaneous Provisions
Use InterestTracker at your own risk
Your use of InterestTracker is at your sole risk. The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
Access outside the USA
We make no claims that InterestTracker is appropriate or legal to be viewed by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access InterestTracker from outside of the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction.
No waiver and partial validity
The failure of SermonView Evangelism Marketing to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The Terms of Service constitutes the entire agreement between you and SermonView Evangelism Marketing and governs your use of InterestTracker, superseding any prior agreements between you and SermonView Evangelism Marketing (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service). If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Terms of Service, which shall remain in full force and effect.

Arbitration
Please read this Section carefully. It is part of your agreement with us, and it affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION.
You agree that any dispute related to this Agreement, your use of InterestTracker, or any dispute related to your relationship with SermonView Evangelism Marketing or our affiliates, directors, officers, agents, shareholders, members, subsidiaries, parents, shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS), located in San Diego, California. The JAMS Rules of Arbitration shall govern all aspects of the arbitration you bring, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with this Arbitration Agreement. The JAMS Rules of Arbitration are available on JAM’s website, https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, with the prevailing party to pay all costs and attorney fees. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Jury Trial Waiver
Please read this Section carefully. It is part of your agreement with us and affects your rights. It contains a WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
You hereby waive your constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and SermonView Evangelism Marketing in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
Class Action Waiver
Please read this Section carefully. It is part of your agreement with us and affects your rights. It contains a WAIVER OF YOUR CLASS ACTION RIGHTS.
ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND SERMONVIEW EVANGELISM MARKETING MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
30-Day Right to Opt-Out of Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver & Class Action Waiver
You have the right to opt out of the Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver and Class Action Waiver Provisions of this Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to either SermonView Evangelism Marketing, 4221 NE St Johns Rd Ste F, Vancouver WA 98661 or support@interesttracker.org (with the subject line: Opt-Out of Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver and Class Action Waiver Provisions) within 30 days from the date you first create an Account. If you send this notice, then the Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver and Class Action Waiver Provisions will not apply and you must bring claims per the Section labeled “Governing Law,” below. If you do not send this notice, then you agree to be bound by the terms of the Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver and Class Action Waiver Provisions in this Section. Agreeing to arbitration and waiving your rights to jury trial and class action participation is an important decision for you to make. It can shorten the litigation process and result in cost savings, but it also takes away certain rights, such as the right to a trial in front of your peers. Thus, please take time to carefully consider the Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver and Class Action Waiver Provisions of this Agreement. Since the information provided in this Agreement is not intended to contain a complete explanation of the consequences of arbitration, class action or jury waiver, you may want to consult an attorney.
