Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Discipler, a platform operated by Discipler LLC ("Discipler," "we," "us," or "our") that helps churches and ministries manage mentorship and discipleship programs. By accessing or using Discipler, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.

01

The service we provide

Discipler provides mentorship infrastructure for churches and ministries, including mentor–mentee coordination, SMS-based check-ins, program health signals for coordinators, and related tools. Features may change, expand, or be discontinued as the platform evolves.

02

Eligibility and accounts

• You must be at least 13 years old to use Discipler, and old enough to consent to receive text messages in your jurisdiction where applicable.
• You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for activity that occurs under your account.
• Keep your login credentials secure and notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

03

Churches and administrators

Churches and ministries that use Discipler ("Organizations") administer their own mentorship programs and are responsible for how they invite, pair, and communicate with their participants. If you use Discipler as part of an Organization's program, that Organization's leaders and administrators may access information needed to manage the program, as described in our Privacy Policy.

04

SMS messaging terms

• By providing your mobile number and opting in, you agree to receive recurring text messages sent via Discipler on behalf of your church or ministry, which may display your ministry's name as the sender.
• Messages may include weekly check-ins, follow-up questions, meeting reminders, and program coordination.
• Message frequency varies. During active mentorship programs, participants typically receive 3–5 messages per week (up to approximately 24 messages per month).
• Message and data rates may apply.
• Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any purchase or of participation in your mentorship program.
• You can opt out at any time by replying STOP. You can request help by replying HELP or by contacting support@trydiscipler.com.
• Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
• Mobile numbers, SMS opt-in data, and messaging consent are never shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

06

Your information and privacy

Your use of Discipler is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the platform, you consent to the practices described there.

07

Intellectual property

Discipler, including its software, design, and content, is owned by Discipler LLC and protected by applicable laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the platform in accordance with these Terms. Content you submit remains yours; you grant us the permissions needed to operate and provide the service.

08

Third-party services

Discipler relies on trusted third-party providers, such as SMS delivery and hosting services, to operate. Those providers process information only as needed to provide the service. We are not responsible for the independent practices of third parties beyond our control.

09

Disclaimers

Discipler is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, though we work in good faith to make it reliable.

10

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Discipler LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, arising from your use of the platform. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service will not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, for the service in the twelve months preceding the claim.

11

Termination

You may stop using Discipler at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if these Terms are violated or if needed to protect the platform or its participants. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply.

12

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above. Continued use of Discipler after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

13

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Georgia, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
