Terms of Service and User Agreement
This Agreement sets out the terms and conditions relating to the online content provided free of charge and content subject to payment that Yvon Prehn, Effective Church Communications (ECC), and content by Bible805 and the Bibleverse will provide to you. It is a bunch of legal content we were advised to use. Though I felt to include it is to do things "decently and in order," you don't have to read every part of it.
I try to do my best, but I will most likely make mistakes and I'm certain to make lots of typos and various small errors. Let's all be kind and do good to each other. If you have a problem, contact me at yvonprehn@gmail.com.
By accessing any of the materials on this site or associated sites and/or signing up for a subscription or purchasing any products on this site means you agree with and will abide by the conditions that follow.
If you use the Site in the course of business or as a church, you are also agreeing to these terms and conditions on behalf of that business or church. If you do not agree with what follows, you shouldn't use the site, sign up for a subscription, or purchase the products.

Refund Policy: **I want you to be happy with whatever you sign up for or purchase. You will receive a full refund of any product or subscription fee if you contact yvonprehn@gmail.com within 7 days of signing up if you wish to cancel.
