"User Content" includes prayer requests, messages, questions, comments, feedback, photographs, testimonials, and other information submitted through the website.
You retain ownership of content you submit.
By submitting User Content, you grant Urbancrest a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to store, reproduce, format, edit, display, and otherwise use the content as reasonably necessary to operate the website and fulfill the purpose for which you submitted it.

You may choose to have a prayer request displayed anonymously.
If you provide a name while selecting anonymous display, authorized Urbancrest moderators may still be able to see the name you submitted. The name will not be shown publicly with the request.
Anonymous display therefore does not mean that the request is necessarily anonymous to Urbancrest.

Once approved, a Prayer Wall request is publicly accessible.
Other users may copy, screenshot, discuss, or share public Prayer Wall content outside urbancrest.church. Urbancrest cannot control what another person does with information after it has been publicly displayed.
Submitting a prayer request does not establish a confidential counseling, clergy-penitent, medical, legal, mental-health, or other professional relationship.
The Prayer Wall should not be used when confidential pastoral communication or emergency assistance is needed.
Urbancrest.church may provide AI-assisted search or question-answering features intended to help visitors locate information about Urbancrest Church.

The particular model or provider may change as Urbancrest's configuration or available technology changes.
Automatically generated responses may contain:

Urbancrest may use automated security tools, including Cloudflare Turnstile, to protect forms, Prayer Wall submissions, AI-assisted search, and other website features from spam and automated abuse.
Some verification may occur invisibly in the background.
You may not deliberately bypass, defeat, manipulate, or interfere with these security measures.
Additional information about data processed for security purposes is provided in the Privacy Policy.

This provision does not require you to accept responsibility for conduct caused solely by Urbancrest.
Urbancrest may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to a website feature or account when reasonably necessary because of:
Provisions that logically should continue after termination, including intellectual-property, disclaimer, liability, and governing-law provisions, will remain in effect.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Any legal proceeding related to these Terms or the website must be brought in a court with appropriate jurisdiction in Warren County, Ohio, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Urbancrest may update these Terms as the website, ministries, technology, service providers, or legal requirements change.
Updated Terms will be posted with a revised effective or last-updated date.
Routine technical changes that do not materially alter the nature of the website or users' rights and responsibilities do not necessarily require a separate update to these Terms.
Continued use of the website after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those Terms.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
The affected provision will be interpreted as closely as legally permitted to its intended purpose.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented for a particular form, event, donation, registration, or service, constitute the agreement concerning use of the website.
