Terms of Service

These terms apply when you access or use the Ev Church website and its online services. Ev Church is Auckland Evangelical Church Trust. By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Some activities, events, payments or third-party services may have additional terms. If additional terms conflict with these terms, the additional terms apply to that particular service to the extent of the conflict.

You may use this website for lawful personal, church and ministry-related purposes. You must not:

• Use the website in a way that breaks New Zealand law or infringes another person’s rights

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any account, system or data

• Introduce malware, interfere with the website or place an unreasonable load on it

• Use automated tools to scrape, copy or extract content without our permission

• Submit information that is false, misleading, harmful, abusive or unlawful

• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your connection with Ev Church

We may restrict or suspend access where we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect people, the website, our systems or Ev Church, or to comply with the law.

If you use an account, you are responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and for activity carried out through your account. Please tell us promptly if you believe your account has been used without permission.

Information you provide must be accurate and must not infringe another person’s rights. You give us permission to use information you submit only as reasonably needed to provide the relevant website, church or ministry service, subject to our Privacy Policy.

We aim to keep website content accurate and useful, but it is general information and may not always be complete, current or suitable for your circumstances. It is not legal, financial, medical or other professional advice. You should obtain appropriate advice before relying on it for an important decision.

Service times, event details, availability and other information may change. Please contact us if you need to confirm something before making plans.

Unless stated otherwise, Ev Church owns or is licensed to use the website and its content, including text, graphics, logos, photographs, video and software. You may view and make a reasonable copy of content for personal, non-commercial church or ministry use. You must not reproduce, modify, publish, sell or commercially exploit website content without permission from the relevant rights holder.

The website may link to or use services operated by other organisations, including authentication, maps, media, forms and payment services. Those services may have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party websites or services that we do not control, although this does not limit any responsibility that New Zealand law places on us.

We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the website. We do not promise that the website will always be available, secure or free from errors, but we will take reasonable care in operating it.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, the Fair Trading Act 1986 or any other New Zealand law where that right or remedy cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.

To the extent permitted by law, Ev Church is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and share personal information when you use this website or engage with Ev Church.

We may update these terms when the website, our practices or legal obligations change. We will publish the current version and revision date on this page. Changes apply from the date they are published.

These terms are governed by New Zealand law, and the New Zealand courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction over disputes relating to them.

If you have a question about these terms, please use our contact page.
