Terms of Service
Marriage After God — Smith Family Resources, Inc.
Effective date: July 22, 2026 · Version: 2.0
Please read: Section 22 contains a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver, with a 30-day opt-out. Section 19 explains that our content is spiritual encouragement, not professional counseling.
1. Agreement to these Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms“) are a binding agreement between you and Smith Family Resources, Inc., an Oregon corporation doing business as Marriage After God.
By accessing or using any of our websites, buying our products, subscribing to our emails, joining our Patron Team, downloading our podcast, or otherwise using our services (together, the “Services“), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
If you are agreeing on behalf of a church, ministry, business, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organization.
2. Who may use our services
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to make a purchase, create an account, join the Patron Team, or enter into any transaction with us.
If you are between 13 and 17, you may browse and read only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian, and you may not transact with us. Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 may not use them.
3. What these Terms cover
marriageaftergod.com and its subdomains · shop.marriageaftergod.com · deck.marriageaftergod.com · unveiledwife.com, husbandrevolution.com, podcast.unveiledwife.com · email programs, free resources, downloads, challenges · the Marriage After God podcast · books, devotionals, prints, and other products sold directly by us · wholesale, ministry, church, and reseller programs · the Patron Team.
Additional terms may apply to specific programs — the church marriage ministry program, wholesale accounts, creator and affiliate campaigns, conferences. Where they conflict, the additional terms control for that program only.
Third-party platforms are governed by their own terms. Purchases on Amazon, TikTok Shop, or at Hobby Lobby, Mardel, or Christianbook are governed by that seller’s terms. Listening on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube is governed by that platform’s terms.
4. Changes to these Terms
We update the Effective date and Version. For material changes we post a notice and, where appropriate, email subscribers and account holders in advance. Changes take effect when posted unless stated otherwise. Continued use after changes take effect means acceptance. Changes to Section 22 (arbitration) do not apply retroactively to a dispute we already know about.
5. Accounts
Give accurate information and keep it current · keep your password confidential; you are responsible for activity under your account · tell us at support@marriageaftergod.com if you suspect unauthorized use · one person per account, no sharing, transferring, or selling.
We may suspend or close an account we reasonably believe is inaccurate, fraudulent, compromised, or used in violation of these Terms.
6. Our content and intellectual property
All content in the Services is owned by Smith Family Resources, Inc. or used under license, and protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other IP laws. This includes books, devotionals, prayers, and manuscripts in all formats and editions; articles, blog posts, and web copy; podcast episodes, audio, video, transcripts, and show notes; emails, prayer emails, and challenges; curriculum, worksheets, facilitator guides, and program materials; photographs, illustrations, cover art, graphics, and design; logos, brand names, and brand identity; site design, layout, structure, and code; and our selection and arrangement of all of the above.
Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership to you. We reserve all rights not expressly granted. Scripture quotations are used under license from or under the permissions policies of their respective copyright holders, and those rights remain with those holders.
7. Your limited license to use our content
Subject to these Terms, we grant a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use our free content for your own personal, non-commercial use, and to use purchased products for their intended personal use.
7.1 What you may do
- Read, listen to, and view our content for yourself, your spouse, and your household
- Share links to our pages, episodes, and products anywhere
- Quote briefly — up to 250 words of prose from a book or article, or one prayer — in a sermon, small group, blog post, social post, or review, with clear attribution: “From [Title] by [Author], Marriage After God, marriageaftergod.com”
- Print or save a single copy of a free downloadable resource for personal use
- Read our content aloud to your family, small group, or congregation in a non-recorded, non-ticketed setting
7.2 What you may not do without written permission
- Republish, repost, or redistribute our content in whole or substantial part, on any blog, website, app, newsletter, social account, or print publication
- Copy or scan a book, devotional, or curriculum to distribute to a group, class, congregation, or team — please buy the copies instead; we offer generous bulk and ministry pricing
- Sell, license, rent, or lend our content, or use it in any product or service you charge for
- Create derivative works, including translations, adaptations, abridgments, study guides, journals, workbooks, curricula, or companion products
- Record, re-record, or re-upload our podcast episodes or audio, in whole or part, to any platform
- Use our content in a course, coaching program, conference, retreat, or counseling practice you offer, paid or free
- Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright notice, trademark, watermark, byline, or attribution
- Use our content, name, or brand to endorse or promote anything, or to imply affiliation or approval we have not given
- Frame, mirror, or embed our sites or substantial content in your own site or app
- Use automated means — bots, scrapers, crawlers, spiders, harvesters — to access, copy, monitor, or index the Services, except responsible search engine crawling per our robots.txt
This license ends automatically on violation. On termination you must stop using and destroy any copies in your possession.
8. No text and data mining or AI training
We expressly reserve all rights to prevent our content from being used for text and data mining, machine learning, or artificial intelligence training.
You may not, and may not permit any third party to:
- Use our content to train, fine-tune, ground, retrieve for, or otherwise develop or improve any machine learning model, large language model, generative AI system, or similar technology
- Scrape, crawl, harvest, extract, or ingest our content for those purposes, directly or through an intermediary, aggregator, or dataset
- Use our content to generate synthetic works in our style, voice, or brand, or that could be confused with our work
- Circumvent any technical measure, robots.txt directive, or access control preventing the above
This is an express reservation of rights for purposes of Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 on copyright in the Digital Single Market, and any comparable law now in force or later enacted. The license in Section 7 expressly excludes these uses. To license content for AI or research purposes, write to aaron@marriageaftergod.com — the answer may be yes, but it has to be in writing.
9. Permissions, reprints, and licensing
For anything beyond Section 7.1, request permission. We are a ministry and we want our material used well, so we grant many requests, often at no charge.
Request permission for: quoting more than 250 words or more than one prayer · reprinting a chapter, devotional, or worksheet for a class, group, retreat, or congregation · translating into another language · including our content in a curriculum, course, book, or product · reproducing covers, artwork, or logos · recording an audio or video reading · any commercial use.
How to ask: the Permissions page, or aaron@marriageaftergod.com with what you want to use, where it will appear, the audience size, and whether it is commercial. Bulk, church, and ministry pricing is available and is almost always a better answer than copying.
10. Your content and submissions
10.1 What this covers
“Your Content” means anything you send, post, or submit: reviews, ratings, testimonials, comments, stories, prayer requests, photos, videos, audio, questions, survey answers, social posts tagging or mentioning us, messages, and any feedback, ideas, or suggestions.
10.2 You keep ownership; you give us a license
You keep ownership. By submitting, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, transferable, perpetual, and irrevocable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit for length and clarity, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display Your Content, in any media now known or later developed, for any purpose related to our ministry and business — including our books, emails, podcast episodes, social posts, advertising, and marketing.
You waive any moral rights to the extent permitted by law, and we have no obligation to credit you, although we usually try to.
10.3 What you promise us
You own it or have the right to submit it, and our use will not infringe anyone’s rights · it is accurate and not misleading, and any testimonial reflects your honest experience · you have permission from anyone identifiable in it, including your spouse and any other adult, and from a parent or guardian for any child · it does not violate any law or these Terms · you are not being paid by anyone else to submit it unless you have told us.
10.4 Prayer requests and personal stories
We read the messages and prayer requests people send us and are honored by them. Please understand:
- Do not send confidential, sensitive, or privileged information. We are not counselors, clergy in a confessional relationship, or licensed professionals, and no legal privilege or duty of confidentiality applies.
- We are not a crisis service and do not monitor messages around the clock. See Section 19.3.
- We may share stories publicly in anonymized or de-identified form. If you do not want your story shared at all, say so clearly when you write, and we will honor it.
10.5 Feedback
Ideas, suggestions, and feedback about our products or business may be used freely, without compensation, credit, or obligation, and are not confidential.
10.6 Our right to moderate
We are not obligated to publish, keep, or monitor Your Content. We may refuse, edit, remove, or take down any content at any time, for any reason or no reason. We are not responsible for content submitted by users, and opinions expressed are those of their authors, not ours.
11. Acceptable use
You agree not to: violate any law, regulation, or third-party right · infringe any copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent, publicity, or privacy right · post or transmit anything unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, threatening, obscene, sexually explicit, hateful, or discriminatory · impersonate anyone or misrepresent affiliation · upload viruses, malware, or harmful code · attempt unauthorized access to our systems, accounts, or data, or probe, scan, or test our vulnerabilities · interfere with or disrupt the Services, servers, or networks, including through excessive automated requests, denial-of-service attacks, or credential stuffing · scrape, crawl, or harvest except as permitted in Sections 7 and 8 · circumvent any access control, rate limit, paywall, or security measure · send spam or unsolicited commercial messages · collect or harvest information about other users · reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Services · resell or commercially exploit the Services or our content without authorization · use the Services to compete with us or build a competing product · place fraudulent orders or use stolen or unauthorized payment methods · abuse promotions, discount codes, or return policies · damage our reputation, brand, or goodwill.
We may investigate, suspend access, cancel orders, close accounts, and refer matters to law enforcement.
12. Orders and purchases
12.1 The store. Direct purchases are made through shop.marriageaftergod.com, which runs on Shopify. Store-specific policies — including the Return and Refund Policy and shipping policy — are posted in the store and are part of these Terms.
12.2 Orders are offers. Your order is an offer to buy, not a completed contract. We accept your order when we ship it. Until then we may decline or cancel any order for any reason, including unavailability, suspected fraud, pricing or description errors, order limits, or shipping restrictions. If we cancel a charged order, we refund in full.
12.3 Pricing and errors. Prices are in U.S. dollars and may change without notice, and exclude taxes, duties, and shipping unless stated. We correct errors. If a product is listed at an incorrect price or description, we may cancel or correct the order even after confirmation, refunding if we cancel. A listing error does not obligate us to sell at the wrong price.
12.4 Availability and backorders. Availability is not guaranteed. If an item is out of stock or backordered, we will tell you and offer to wait, substitute, or cancel for a refund.
12.5 Payment. You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method and that the information is accurate. Payments are processed by third-party processors under their own terms. If a payment is declined, reversed, or charged back, we may cancel the order, suspend your account, and pursue the amount owed plus reasonable collection costs.
12.6 Taxes. You are responsible for all applicable sales, use, VAT, GST, customs duties, and import taxes. For international orders, duties and import fees are your responsibility and are not included in our prices or shipping charges.
12.7 Shipping, delivery, and risk of loss. Delivery dates are estimates, not guarantees; we are not liable for carrier delays. Title and risk of loss pass to you when we deliver the package to the carrier, though we will help with claims as a courtesy. You are responsible for a complete, accurate, deliverable address; we are not responsible for orders delivered to an address you entered incorrectly, and reshipment may require a new order. Some destinations, including certain international addresses and correctional facilities, have restrictions — contact us before ordering if unsure.
12.8 Returns and refunds. See the store’s Return and Refund Policy. Unless it says otherwise, refunds go to the original payment method and shipping charges are non-refundable.
12.9 Promotions, discount codes, and gift cards. Codes are for their stated purpose, cannot be combined unless stated, have no cash value, cannot be applied retroactively, and may be modified or discontinued at any time. Codes obtained through fraud, resale, or automated harvesting are void. Gift cards are non-refundable, cannot be redeemed for cash except where required by law, and are subject to store terms.
12.10 Product descriptions and images. Colors, trim, and finish may vary from what appears on screen, and printings may differ slightly. Descriptions, page counts, and specifications are approximate and may change between printings.
13. Wholesale, ministry, and reseller accounts
- Eligibility and approval. Wholesale and ministry pricing requires an approved account. We may request business documentation, a resale or tax-exemption certificate, and credit references, and may approve or decline at our discretion.
- Minimums and tiers. Current minimums, tier pricing, and terms are those posted in our partner portal or provided in writing. Pricing may change with notice and applies to orders placed after the change.
- Payment terms. New accounts prepay. Net terms only on approved credit and only as confirmed in writing. Past-due balances may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum lawful rate, plus reasonable collection and attorney’s fees.
- Resale conditions. Wholesale product is for resale in your approved channel. You may not resell our products on Amazon, eBay, Walmart Marketplace, TikTok Shop, or any other online marketplace without prior written authorization. We may cancel orders and close accounts for unauthorized channel activity.
- No alteration. Do not repackage, rebrand, alter, deface, or bundle our products with other goods without written permission. Do not remove or obscure ISBNs, barcodes, or copyright pages.
- Returns. Wholesale orders are generally non-returnable except for defective or misshipped product unless agreed in writing. Damage and shortage claims must be made within 10 days of delivery.
- Marketing. Use of our name, logos, cover images, and copy is permitted for selling our books, per our brand guidelines, and may be revoked at any time.
- No exclusivity or agency. Nothing creates an exclusive territory, franchise, agency, partnership, or employment relationship absent a separate signed writing.
14. The Patron Team and recurring contributions
Please read this section carefully. It describes a recurring charge.
14.1 What it is. A voluntary monthly financial contribution supporting our free daily prayer emails and podcast.
14.2 Recurring billing and your authorization. By enrolling, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your payment method the amount you selected, automatically, every month, on a recurring basis, until you cancel. Enrollment continues indefinitely. There is no fixed term and no automatic end date. You will receive confirmation of your enrollment, including the amount, the billing frequency, and a direct link to the billing portal where you can cancel or make changes yourself at any time.
14.3 Not tax-deductible. Smith Family Resources, Inc. is a for-profit corporation, not a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your contribution is not tax-deductible as a charitable donation, and we do not issue charitable contribution receipts. Consult your tax advisor.
14.4 No goods or services promised. A Patron contribution is a gift supporting free resources. Apart from any welcome offer described at enrollment, it does not entitle you to products, services, membership benefits, access, or influence over our content.
14.5 Changing or cancelling. You may cancel at any time, on your own, without contacting anyone. Cancellation takes effect before your next scheduled charge.
Manage or cancel your contribution here: https://billing.stripe.com/p/login/cN2fZf4RTfCl9YA6oo
Log in using the email address you subscribed with. The portal will email you a secure sign-in link. From there you can cancel your contribution, change your amount, update your payment method, and view your billing history.
If you cannot get into the portal — for example, you no longer have access to the email address you enrolled with — email support@marriageaftergod.com and we will cancel it for you. We will process your request promptly and, at the latest, within 3 business days. If a charge occurs after a timely cancellation request because of a delay on our end, we will refund it.
14.6 Failed payments. If a charge fails we may retry. If it continues to fail we may suspend or end your enrollment without notice. Keeping payment information current is your responsibility.
14.7 Refunds. Contributions are generally non-refundable. We will always refund a charge made after a timely cancellation request — whether made through the billing portal or by email — as well as a duplicate charge or a charge you did not authorize.
14.8 Price changes. If we change contribution tiers we will give at least 30 days’ notice by email before any change affects you, and tell you how to cancel first.
15. Digital products and downloads
You receive a limited, personal, non-transferable license for your own personal, non-commercial use, or, for church and ministry licenses, the scope stated at purchase. You may not share, post, email, distribute, resell, or upload to any file-sharing service, cloud folder, or group chat. We may limit downloads or devices. Digital products are generally non-refundable once delivered — if a file is defective or inaccessible, contact us and we will fix it or refund you. You are responsible for your own downloads and backups; we do not guarantee perpetual access or hosting. EU and UK consumers: starting your download means requesting immediate delivery and losing the statutory right of withdrawal for that item.
16. Electronic communications and consent
By using the Services or giving us your email address, you consent to receive communications electronically, including notices, disclosures, agreements, receipts, and legal notices, and you agree these satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing.
Marketing email: unsubscribe any time via the link in any email. Transactional email: while you have an active order, account, or Patron enrollment, we send messages you cannot opt out of — receipts, shipping notices, billing notices, and material changes to these Terms. Keep your address current — notices are effective when sent to the address on file, whether or not you read them.
17. Podcast, guests, and third-party platforms
- Guest views are their own. Appearance is not an endorsement of everything a guest has said, written, or done, nor an endorsement of us by them.
- Guest appearance releases. Recording with us grants the rights in Section 10.2 for the recording and associated materials, and consents to our editing, distribution, promotion, and archiving in any media, in perpetuity. Guests may request removal and we will consider it in good faith, but we are not obligated to remove or unpublish material already distributed, and cannot recall copies distributed by third-party platforms.
- Sponsors and mentions. Paid sponsorship or affiliate arrangements are disclosed per FTC endorsement guidelines.
- Platform terms. Your use of Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or any other platform is governed by that platform’s terms, not ours.
- No archival guarantee. We may edit, re-release, unpublish, or retire episodes at any time.
18. Affiliates, creators, and promotional partners
Additional written terms apply and control for the program. You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your material connection to us in every post, video, or message, per the FTC’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials and each platform’s own rules. Your statements must be truthful and reflect your honest experience — do not make claims about outcomes, results, or benefits that we have not made ourselves. Use only brand assets and messaging we provide or approve, and stop using them when we ask. Receiving a free book or commission does not license you to reproduce our content beyond Section 7. We may end any promotional relationship at any time and may withhold commissions for fraud, policy violations, or reversed orders.
19. Disclaimers
19.1 Our content is spiritual encouragement, not professional advice
Marriage After God provides Christian encouragement, devotional content, prayers, and general educational material. Our books, podcast, emails, articles, and programs are not, and are not a substitute for: professional marriage or family counseling or therapy · mental health diagnosis or treatment · medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment · legal advice · financial, tax, or investment advice · pastoral care from your own church, pastor, or elders.
We are not licensed counselors, therapists, physicians, attorneys, or financial advisors, and no professional relationship of any kind is created by your use of the Services. We do not know your situation. Nothing we publish is individualized advice for you or your marriage.
Always seek the advice of a qualified professional regarding any personal, marital, mental health, medical, legal, or financial matter. Never disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of something you read, heard, or watched from us.
19.2 No guarantee of results
We make no promise, representation, or guarantee about the outcome of your marriage, family, relationships, spiritual life, or circumstances. Testimonials and stories are individual experiences and are not typical, expected, or promised results. Marriages are complex, and outcomes depend on many factors outside our knowledge or control.
19.3 If you are in danger
Our content is not appropriate for, and must not be relied on in, situations involving abuse, violence, threats, coercive control, or immediate danger. We are not a crisis service. We do not monitor messages, comments, or inboxes around the clock, and we cannot provide emergency help.
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
In the United States:
- 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988
- National Domestic Violence Hotline — 1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788
- Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
Nothing in our content should be understood to counsel anyone to remain in an unsafe situation.
19.4 The Services are provided “as is”
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT AND PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.
WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE.
We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; that defects will be corrected; that the Services are free of viruses or harmful components; or that content is accurate, complete, current, or reliable.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some exclusions may not apply to you. Nothing limits any non-waivable statutory consumer right.
19.5 Third-party content and links
We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for third-party content, sites, products, services, or practices, and we are not liable for them. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.
20. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
20.1 NEITHER MARRIAGE AFTER GOD NOR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunity, or reputation, even if advised of the possibility, regardless of the theory of liability.
20.2 WITHOUT LIMITING THE ABOVE, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO: your use of or inability to use the Services; any decision you make or action you take based on our content; the outcome of your marriage, family, relationships, or personal circumstances; any professional, medical, mental health, legal, or financial matter; conduct of any third party, including other users, guests, retailers, and platforms; unauthorized access to your data; interruption, error, defect, delay, or transmission failure; or any content submitted by users.
20.3 OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
20.4 These limitations apply regardless of the form of action — contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, statute, or otherwise — and survive any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.
20.5 Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so some limitations may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law. Nothing excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence, willful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
20.6 You acknowledge that the pricing of our products and the availability of free content reflect this allocation of risk, and that these limitations are an essential basis of our agreement.
21. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Smith Family Resources, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against any claims, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to:
- Your use or misuse of the Services
- Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law
- Your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property, publicity, and privacy rights
- Your Content, including any claim that it infringes or violates the rights of another
- Your unauthorized reproduction or distribution of our content
- Any dispute between you and a third party
We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate. You will not settle any matter without our prior written consent.
22. Dispute resolution and arbitration
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
22.1 Talk to us first. Before starting arbitration or any proceeding, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. Send a written Notice of Dispute to Smith Family Resources, Inc., Attn: Legal, 70 SW Century Dr #100-433, Bend, OR 97702, and by email to aaron@marriageaftergod.com, describing the dispute, what you want, and your contact information. We will do the same for any dispute we have with you. Both parties agree to work in good faith for 60 days after the Notice is received. This is a condition precedent to arbitration, and the statute of limitations is tolled during this period.
22.2 Agreement to arbitrate. If informal resolution fails, you and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, our products, or our relationship — whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory — will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, not in court. Governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
22.3 Exceptions. Does not apply to claims that may be brought in small claims court, so long as they stay there and are individual; claims for injunctive or equitable relief relating to intellectual property, including infringement, misappropriation, or unauthorized use of our content or trademarks, which either party may bring in court; and any claim that cannot lawfully be arbitrated.
22.4 How arbitration works. Administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (adr.org, 1-800-778-7879), before a single neutral arbitrator. Venue: Deschutes County, Oregon, or at your election your home county, by telephone or video conference, or on documents only where the rules allow. The arbitrator may award any relief available in court to the individual party and must follow these Terms. The decision is final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Fees are governed by the AAA Consumer Rules; where those rules would require you to pay a filing fee exceeding what you would pay to file in court, we will pay the difference.
22.5 Class action waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one person and may not preside over any representative or class proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request must be severed and brought in court, and the rest of Section 22 remains in force.
22.6 Jury trial waiver. IF FOR ANY REASON A DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN ARBITRATION, YOU AND WE EACH KNOWINGLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
22.7 Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. Send written notice within 30 days of first accepting these Terms to Smith Family Resources, Inc., Attn: Arbitration Opt-Out, 70 SW Century Dr #100-433, Bend, OR 97702. Include your name, the email address you use with us, and a clear statement that you want to opt out. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms or your relationship with us in any way.
22.8 Survival. This Section survives termination of these Terms and your relationship with us.
23. Governing law and venue
Governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to conflict of laws rules, and applicable United States federal law. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Deschutes County, Oregon, and waive any objection to that venue as inconvenient.
If you are a consumer resident in the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction whose law gives you the protection of local mandatory consumer laws and courts, nothing here deprives you of that protection.
24. Time limit on claims
To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be brought within ONE (1) YEAR after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred. This does not apply where a longer period is required by non-waivable law.
25. Copyright complaints (DMCA)
25.1 Reporting infringement. Send a written notice to our designated agent containing: a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized person; identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail to locate it, including the URL; your name, address, telephone number, and email address; a statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for them.
25.2 Designated agent.
DMCA Agent · Smith Family Resources, Inc. · Attn: DMCA Agent · 70 SW Century Dr #100-433, Bend, OR 97702 · aaron@marriageaftergod.com
25.3 Counter-notice. If your material was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice with your signature, identification of the removed material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury of good faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification, your name, address, and telephone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district, or Deschutes County, Oregon if you are outside the United States.
25.4 Misrepresentation and repeat infringers. Anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
25.5 Our own enforcement. We actively protect our copyrights and trademarks, including through DMCA takedown notices, platform intellectual property complaints, and legal action where necessary.

You may stop using the Services at any time — unsubscribe from email, cancel your Patron enrollment through the billing portal, and ask us to close your account and delete your data as described in our Privacy Policy.
On termination: your licenses under Section 7 end immediately; you must stop using and destroy copies of our content; any amounts you owe become immediately due.

We operate from the United States. We make no representation that the Services or our products are appropriate or available for use outside the United States. If you access the Services from elsewhere, you are responsible for compliance with your local laws, including import restrictions, customs duties, and any restriction on religious materials.
You may not use or export our content in violation of United States export laws, and you represent that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, any country subject to a United States embargo, and are not on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

30. General terms
30.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, our Privacy Policy, our store policies, and any additional program terms are the entire agreement, superseding all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, on the subject.
30.2 Severability. Any unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed, with the remainder in full force. The class action waiver in 22.5 is governed by its own severability rule.
30.3 No waiver. Failure to enforce is not a waiver of the right to enforce later. A waiver is effective only if in writing and signed by us.
30.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent, and any attempt is void. We may assign freely, including in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets.
30.5 No third-party beneficiaries. Except for the indemnified parties named in Section 21, these Terms create no rights in any third party.
30.6 Relationship. Nothing creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, employment, or fiduciary relationship.
30.7 Headings. For convenience only; they do not affect interpretation.
30.8 Interpretation. These Terms will not be construed against the drafting party. “Including” means “including without limitation.”
