Terms of Service

These terms are the agreement between you and Conyers Apostolic Church ("we", "us", "BuzzerReady") for the use of BuzzerReady at buzzerready.com.

1. What BuzzerReady is

A practice platform for competitive Bible quizzing: question drills, verse study, memorization tools, practice rounds, and progress reporting for quizzers, parents, and coaches.

It is a training tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or an official product of any quizzing league, denomination, or organization, and nothing here is an official ruling on any league's rules. Where our app reflects a league rulebook, the league's own current rulebook governs, not ours.

League names, division names, and similar terms are used only to describe what our material is compatible with. We claim no rights in them and no association with their owners.

2. Accepting these terms

You accept these terms when you create an account — by checking the box presented at sign-up, next to a link to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. We record the date, time, and the version of the documents you accepted.

If you do not accept them, do not create an account.

Electronic communications. You agree that we may give you notices, agreements, receipts, and other records electronically — by email to the address on your account, or in the app. You may withdraw that agreement by closing your account.

3. Who may use it

• An adult — 18 or older — holds every account and accepts these terms. At sign-up you confirm that you are 18 or older and that you are the parent or legal guardian of any child whose profile you create, or that you are otherwise authorized to hold the account.
• A child never creates an account and never accepts these terms. A child uses BuzzerReady through a profile created by their parent or legal guardian.
• A coach cannot create a child's profile. A coach may invite a parent or guardian. We then send that parent our Children's Privacy Notice and a consent request. The profile stays inactive and collects nothing until the parent consents, and on consent the parent becomes the account holder for that profile. See section 4.
• You are responsible for what happens under your account, for keeping your password private, and for the seats you issue. Tell us promptly at outreach@buzzerready.com if you believe your account has been used without your permission.

4. Account types

• Household — one billing adult and the quizzers of their household, joined by single-use codes. A household holds up to five quizzer profiles as standard, which is also where per-quizzer pricing stops. If your household has more than five quizzers, ask us and we will add them at no charge. We will ask you one question — who these quizzers are to you — and that is the whole of it. You will never be charged for a sixth quizzer, and we will not turn one away. The boundary is the household itself, as defined in section 7. A revoked seat's history stays with the household, subject to section 13 and our retention policy.
• Coach — a standalone seat for an adult who coaches. It carries no practice history of its own.
• Program (church or team) — a church or quizzing program buys seats and gets the program layer on top: rosters, assignments, coach reporting, and shared practice. Rosters are unlimited and free; seats are what a Program subscription buys.

A Program subscription buys the seat. It never owns the child's record.

A seat bought by a program creates a personal quizzer account that belongs to the quizzer and is portable. If the quizzer leaves the program, the account and its entire history travel with them and convert to Household at renewal. A coach's join code links a profile to a roster; leaving the roster does not take the profile away.

A church or program that buys a Program subscription is also bound by the Team Account Addendum.

Roster visibility is a choice, not a default. Linking a profile to a roster is what allows that team's coach — and, if the account holder turns it on, that team's quizzers — to see the profile's practice record. The account holder controls both settings and can turn them off at any time.

5. Season passes and monthly plans

(This section takes effect when paid plans open. Until then, access is provided without charge and sections 5 and 6 do not apply.)

Everything is billed through Stripe. We never receive or store your card details.

Before we take any payment information, we show you the price, exactly what it buys, when it ends or renews, and how to cancel. That disclosure is on the payment screen itself, not only here.

5.1 Season passes — a one-time purchase that ends

• A season pass is paid once. It does not renew, and we will never charge you again for it.
• Every season pass ends on July 31, whenever in the season you bought it. We tell you that date before you pay, we repeat it in your receipt, and we email you a reminder 30 days before it ends.
• Refunds: section 6.

5.2 Monthly plans — a subscription that renews

• A monthly plan renews automatically each month until you cancel, at the price shown before you paid. You agree to that renewal by a separate, affirmative choice at checkout — not by accepting these terms.
• After you subscribe we email you a confirmation repeating the price, the interval, and how to cancel.
• You can cancel at any time, from inside the app, in a few clicks — without emailing us, calling us, or talking to anyone. We will not put steps in front of you. Cancelling stops future charges; access continues to the end of the month you have already paid for.
• We may change the price. You are told at least 30 days before a change affects you, and never charged a new price without notice. If you do not want it, cancel before it takes effect.

5.3 Both

• Access ends when a pass expires or a subscription lapses — and not before.
• Sponsored and scholarship seats are given, not sold. They carry no charge and nothing renews.
• Your practice records are not deleted when a pass expires or a subscription lapses. Buy again and they are there, subject to section 13 and our retention policy.

6. Refunds

This section is the only place refunds are defined. Sections 12, 14, and 18 refer back to it.

Refunds are made to the original payment method through Stripe.

7. Our content, and what you may do with it

Scripture is the King James Version, which is in the public domain.

The questions, the study aids, and the derived study materials we provide in BuzzerReady are ours or are licensed to us. Your subscription is a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use them for practice and coaching, for as long as your subscription lasts.

You may: use them with your own quizzers and your own team; print what the app offers for printing; export material you wrote or imported yourself.

You may not: copy, scrape, crawl, or bulk-export our question bank; republish, sell, license, or distribute any part of it; share your account outside the permitted scope (see below); remove or obscure any notice of ownership; reverse engineer the service; or use our content to develop, train, evaluate, or fine-tune any artificial intelligence or machine-learning system, or to build a competing product.

Permitted scope of sharing. "Household" means the people who live at your address. "Team" means the quizzers and coaches on a roster in your Program subscription. Your account is for those people and no one else.

8. What you upload

Anything you write or import yourself stays yours. You keep it, you can export it, and we claim no ownership.

You grant us only the permission we need to run the service: a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt for display, and transmit your material, in order to store it and show it to you and to the people you have chosen to share it with. That licence ends when you delete the material or close your account, except for copies in routine backups until they expire.

You promise that you have the right to upload what you upload — that it is yours, or that you have permission from whoever owns it, and that it does not infringe anyone's copyright or other rights.

We respond to copyright complaints. If you believe material on BuzzerReady infringes your copyright, follow our Copyright and DMCA Policy. We remove infringing material and we close the accounts of repeat infringers.

9. Accuracy — and what to do when we are wrong

Word-for-word accuracy is the point of this product and we work hard at it.

Where our text and a league's official material differ, the league's material governs. If you find an error, tell us through the "Improve the app" form — a reported question error goes into the review queue, and fixing it helps every quizzer using the app.

This section describes our practice. It does not create a warranty; see section 14.

10. Privacy and children's data

How we handle personal information is set out in our Privacy Policy and, for children, in our Children's Privacy Notice. Both are part of this agreement. Read the Children's Privacy Notice before you create a profile for a child.

11. Acceptable use

Do not:

• attempt to reach content or accounts you are not entitled to;
• probe, scan, overload, or interfere with the service or its security;
• automate access to it, or use bots, scrapers, or crawlers;
• upload malicious code, or anything unlawful, harassing, or obscene;
• harass, threaten, or endanger anyone;
• misrepresent who you are, or claim a parent's permission you do not have;
• use BuzzerReady to collect information about other people's children.

12. Suspension and closure

We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms — for bulk extraction of the question bank, for sharing access outside the permitted scope, for enrolling a child without the parent's permission, or for conduct that endangers a child.

Except where a child's safety or the security of the service requires immediate action, we will tell you first and give you a reasonable chance to put it right. Refunds are governed by section 6.

You may close your account at any time, from inside the app or by writing to outreach@buzzerready.com.

13. What happens to your data when things end

• Cancelling a subscription does not delete anything.
• Closing your account deletes it. We delete your account, your profiles, and their practice records within 30 days, including from backups on their normal expiry cycle.
• You can ask us to delete a single profile at any time, without closing your account and without giving a reason.
• We do not keep a child's information indefinitely. Our retention periods are published in the Privacy Policy and in the Children's Privacy Notice, and we follow them whether or not anyone asks.
• Export before you go. You can export a quizzer's practice record at any time while the account is open.

14. Disclaimer of warranties

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT LIMITS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US.

BUZZERREADY IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT EVERY QUESTION, ANSWER, OR SCRIPTURE REFERENCE IS FREE OF ERROR. WE DO NOT WARRANT ANY PARTICULAR RESULT IN ANY COMPETITION.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Where that is so, this section applies to the fullest extent the law allows, and you may have other rights.

15. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS IN THE AGGREGATE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, AND (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US$100).

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or anything else the law does not permit us to limit. Some states do not allow these limits; where that is so, this section applies to the fullest extent the law allows.

16. Your indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Conyers Apostolic Church and the people who operate it from any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of:

• your breach of these terms or of any law;
• material you upload, including any claim that it infringes someone's rights;
• your creation of, or invitation to, a profile for a child without the permission of that child's parent or legal guardian;
• your use of the service outside the permitted scope.

We will tell you promptly of any claim, let you control the defense of it with counsel we reasonably approve, and cooperate with you. You may not settle anything that admits fault on our part or imposes an obligation on us without our written consent.

17. Availability and changes to the service

We aim to keep BuzzerReady available and we do not promise it will never be down. We may change, add, or withdraw features. If we withdraw something you are paying for, we will tell you in advance and section 6 applies.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms.

• For a change that materially affects you, we will tell you at least 30 days in advance in the app or by email, and you will be asked to accept the new terms when you next sign in. Continuing to use the service without accepting is not acceptance.
• If you do not accept, you may cancel and section 6 applies.
• Non-material changes — a corrected typo, a new contact address, a clarification that takes nothing away from you — take effect when we post them, and we update the version and date above.
• We will not apply a change retroactively to information already collected about a child, and we will not quietly widen what we do with it.

We keep previous versions of these terms available at https://buzzerready.com/legal/archive.

19. If we have a dispute

Talk to us first. Before either of us starts a legal proceeding, the one with the complaint will send the other a written description of it — to outreach@buzzerready.com for us, or to the address on your account for you — and we will have 30 days to try to resolve it. Most things end here.

Small claims. Either of us may bring a claim in small-claims court instead, and nothing in this section prevents that.

Jury waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and we each waive any right to a trial by jury in any proceeding arising out of these terms or the service.

Time limit. Any claim must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred, unless the law does not allow that limit.

Note for review: we have deliberately not included a mandatory arbitration clause or a class-action waiver. That is a decision to confirm with counsel. See the review memo.

20. Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Rockdale County, Georgia have exclusive jurisdiction, and you and we each consent to that. Nothing here deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of the state where you live.

21. General

• Assignment. You may not assign these terms. We may assign them to an affiliate, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all our assets, on notice to you.
• Severability. If any part of these terms is held unenforceable, that part is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce something, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• Entire agreement. These terms, the Privacy Policy, the Children's Privacy Notice, the Copyright and DMCA Policy, and — for a Program subscription — the Team Account Addendum, are the whole agreement between us and replace anything said before.
• Notices. We give you notice by email to the address on your account or in the app. You give us notice at outreach@buzzerready.com, or by mail to the address in section 22.
• Force majeure. Neither of us is liable for a failure to perform caused by something outside our reasonable control.
• Survival. Sections 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, and 21 survive the end of this agreement.
• No third-party beneficiaries. These terms do not give rights to anyone who is not a party.
• Relationship. Nothing here creates a partnership, agency, employment, or joint venture.
