TERMS
Last Days Church Community Guidelines
1. It will be assumed that community members will have read and agreed to these community guidelines (“Community Guidelines”) for Lastdayschurch.org (the “Site”) and, by occasional rereading of them, to be aware of changes and updates to the Community Guidelines.
a. It is your responsibility to periodically check the rules and make yourself aware of any changes.
2. Only members who have registered with full registration data including real name and a valid e-mail address are permitted in community areas. Failure to register, or registration with false information, especially misrepresentation of age, gender or email address, is grounds for immediate blocking of access. Additionally, it is the member's responsibility to update and maintain a valid email address with their membership.
a. Forums, videos, blogs, article comments and profile comments are all considered "community areas" as is the entire website.
b. Use of multiple names is limited to no more than two usernames. Given the benefits of anonymity in a online envirement LastDaysChurch suggest you use that to your advantage. Perhaps you may be discussing certain personal issues or feel you don't want to expose yourself which is perfectly fine. Use of a different username to protect privacy may be appropriate and even ADVISEABLE. There are those that want to shout from a housetop and those that feel more comfortable in the shadows. The important thing is to feel comfortable in your own skin and realize that we are to share and put Jesus first. All attempts will be made to monitor the community from those that would not be a good fit. That can be anywhere from a simple warning to immediate removal at Last Days Church discretion. Individuals who have been blocked, barred, secured, or banned are not permitted to create a new account as a way to circumnavigate the consequences for violating the Terms of Service. Last Days Church reserves the right to terminate any new accounts which have been established in this manner as well as remove any content posted.
3. Community members shall understand that we live in a imperfect and sinful world. This website is to connet with others in glorifying God and growing in our Savior. But there are those that want to sow division and discord many times purposely, but sometimes in ignorance. Thus you are many times the eyes and the ears of the community. If unsure a member is not grounded in the Word and possibly spreading a false Gospel, etc. just report them so we can observe. Last Days Church commitment is to providing the safest forum possible with Christian values sensitive to a wholesome community environment as possible. Having said that, participating in this online community is done at one's own risk. Children (those under 18 years of age) should never be on this website as we cannot be responsible for the safety of children in community areas. Therefore:
a. Users must be at least 18 years old to participate in our community.
4. You will not use community areas for any unlawful purpose.
5. Intellectual Property (e.g., Patents/Copyrights/Trademarks/Trade Names/ Trade Secrets, etc. are property of their owners and you agree not to use, share, or otherwise post something that might infringe on their rights. VERY IMPORTANT.
a. This community respects the intellectual property rights of others. This means that you agree that you will only post videos created by you and in which you own all copyrights. This also includes writings of original authors. If unsure, do thorough research of your rights and responsibilities when posting ANYTHING not of your own creation. A example is many versions of the Bible have copyrights to their version. Two examples in public domain are the KJV and ASV. Blueletterbible.org is a very helpful website.
b. You represent with respect to each video, writing, and all content that you post, that it does not infringe the copyright, trademark, trade name, or trade secret of any person or entity. By posting a video you agree to indemnify and hold Last Days Church harmless from and against any liability, claims, costs, and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees it incurs) if a claim is made that your video or any content you posted infringes the copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property of anyone else. This is important, and could cost YOU significant amounts of money.
c. In your use of any part of this Site, you agree that you will not infringe, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of Last Days Church or any third party. Your use of the this Site does not grant you any license to copy, modify, reverse engineer, download, distribute, or sell the intellectual property of Last Days Church or others.
d. Last Days Church reserves the right, in appropriate circumstances and in its sole and exclusive judgment, to terminate the access and accounts (including the ability to participate in the community and use the Site) of any user of the Site who we consider to be a repeat or blatant infringer of the copyrights of others.
e. If you are a copyright owner and believe that your copyright has been infringed by a posting on the Site, read below, for complete information about providing us a notice of infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”).
f. If you have posted material we removed because we received a notice of infringement, and you believe your material was removed in mistake and is not infringing, you may send us a counter-notice under the DMCA.
6. Any language, text, data, information, graphics or videos that could be considered vulgar, pornographic, obscene, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, hateful, unlawful; that are racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable; or that violate any copyright or other intellectual property rights of any person can and will be removed up to and including the entire account deepending on seriousness of violation.
a. This is a Christian community. It is expected that members can discuss topics without resorting to name calling or in ways unbecoming of Christian behavior towards one another. Will there be disagreements here and there? There are over 4000 religions on the earth. This community is based on no religion. Jesus is a relationship. Certainly the Bible, Gods Word is our instruction manual. The Holy Spirit is our guide and leader in many, many, ways. The new believer in Christ is the actual temple of God. Not a buliding. If you disagree on another members views, How about instead of trying to tear them down, you give brotherly love and Biblical proofs as to what you believe. Be a Berean as in Acts and exort and teach other. Who knows, maybe they are right and you are wrong and your Brother or Sister helped you.
b. When using this community, talk to others like your speaking to Jesus. They are after all your brothers and sisters an Christ. Some may try to be sneaky by spelling words differently on purpose or using symbols. Vulgarity will not be tolerated. Creating a handle or making comments that are sexually suggestive is a violation of this rule and will not be tolerated..
c. Linking to a site that contains information that violates this TOS is unacceptable.
7. You will not harass, threaten, embarrass or distress members, either in the community itself or via personal email, phone, physical mail or in person. You will not engage in name-calling or personal attacks in the course of discussion or debate. You will not post inflammatory remarks simply for the purpose for evoking reaction or starting fights with other community members. If you have thoughts of dividing the community verses building it up, expect your trolling to be quickly found out nor tolerated. Attacking the character or motives of someone who differs with your view or denying that he or she is a Christian is unacceptable.
8. It is important you keep your personal information to yourself. You will not ask members for their phone number, physical locations, email, instant message ID, or other identifying information. Both the one asking for such information and the one supplying it will be viewed as violating this rule. There are many goats among the sheep and YOU must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. This website is not meant to replace worshipping at a physical location and among other believers. That could be a home congregation or if you able to find now, a non-denominational, Bible believing church. Here you will be able to start your own online group for study, prayer, whatever God leads you to do.
9. Posting entire articles is prohibited, even if permission has been granted by the copyright holder. Instead please only post a portion of the article with a link to read the rest. Depending on what account you have signed up for you are given more space to upload to your account.
a. "Private Messages" may be monitored time to time and may be viewed by Last Days Church. "Private Messages" are not considered the private property of the sender or recipient of the messages. If a member's account is disabled they will not be able to retrieve any saved "Private Messages."
10. You will not impersonate in the community any person. Just be you!
11. You will not post disruptive content, such as chain letters, all caps, unnecessarily long messages, or meaningless text.
12. You will not attempt to "spam", "crack," "hack," or "bomb" the community.
a. Posting the same or similar message in more than one place in the community is considered spamming and is not permitted.
b. Do not try to crash the Site by cracking into the code or hacking the server or sending mass amounts of posts or bomb or in any way do anything that would cause the Site to go down or access secure areas.
c. Using software or other services in order to upload mass amounts of content to the Site is prohibited.
13. You will not post or transmit either in the Community, or via PM ("Private" message) any unsolicited advertising of websites, products or promotional materials or any other forms of solicitation. (Even if the site is not selling anything.)
a. No posting or sending people PMs ("Private" Messages) telling them to come check out your new website or community, or any other sort of advertisement (even if the website is not for profit.)
14. Discussion of sexual issues in any other than a serious and responsible manner is prohibited including "flirtatious" consensual conversation of an intimate nature.
15. You will not promote by repeated statements, by provision of URLs to other websites, by recommendation to engage in non-community activities such as watching programs, reading books, or attending events, or by any other means, beliefs or teachings contrary to those of Christianity or the Born-again experience, and as interpreted by Last Days Church at its sole discretion. This rule also applies to any material whether it be on the web, in print, on video, or on audio.

20. Last Days Church reserves the right to determine what forms of Christian "ministry" can be safely practiced within the community and to prohibit at its sole discretion any form of ministry that it deems unsafe or inappropiate. There are many false teachings. We want this community to be a fun place to learn and interact with others from a Christian world view and in no way a battleground that I am right and your wrong, etc.
a. You can report a possible violation of the Community Guidelines in forums please use the report link located at the bottom of every post.

Dispute Resolution. Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with Company and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by the Company that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and the Company, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.
Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to the Company should be sent to: Sngine. After the Notice is received, you and the Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and the Company do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award to which either party is entitled.
Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association, an established alternative dispute resolution provider that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that the Company made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, the Company will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
Time Limits. If you or the Company pursues arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities of you and the Company, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the Company.
Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less expensive than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court.

Last Days Church Community Guidelines
1.It will be assumed that community members will have read and agreed to these community guidelines (“Community Guidelines”) for Lastdayschurch.org (the “Site”) and, by occasional rereading of them, to be aware of changes and updates to the Community Guidelines.
a. It is your responsibility to periodically check the rules and make yourself aware of any changes.
2. Only members who have registered with full registration data including real name and a valid e-mail address are permitted in community areas. Failure to register, or registration with false information, especially misrepresentation of age, gender or email address, is grounds for immediate blocking of access. Additionally, it is the member's responsibility to update and maintain a valid email address with their membership.
a. Forums, videos, blogs, article comments and profile comments are all considered "community areas" as is the entire website.
b. Use of multiple names is limited to no more than two usernames. Given the benefits of anonymity in a online envirement LastDaysChurch suggest you use that to your advantage. Perhaps you may be discussing certain personal issues or feel you don't want to expose yourself which is perfectly fine. Use of a different username to protect privacy may be appropriate and even ADVISEABLE. There are those that want to shout from a housetop and those that feel more comfortable in the shadows. The important thing is to feel comfortable in your own skin and realize that we are to share and put Jesus first. All attempts will be made to monitor the community from those that would not be a good fit. That can be anywhere from a simple warning to immediate removal at Last Days Church discretion. Individuals who have been blocked, barred, secured, or banned are not permitted to create a new account as a way to circumnavigate the consequences for violating the Terms of Service. Last Days Church reserves the right to terminate any new accounts which have been established in this manner as well as remove any content posted.
3. Community members shall understand that we live in a imperfect and sinful world. This website is to connet with others in glorifying God and growing in our Savior. But there are those that want to sow division and discord many times purposely, but sometimes in ignorance. Thus you are many times the eyes and the ears of the community. If unsure a member is not grounded in the Word and possibly spreading a false Gospel, etc. just report them so we can observe. Last Days Church commitment is to providing the safest forum possible with Christian values sensitive to a wholesome community environment as possible. Having said that, participating in this online community is done at one's own risk. Children (those under 18 years of age) should never be on this website as we cannot be responsible for the safety of children in community areas. Therefore:
a. Users must be at least 18 years old to participate in our community.
4. You will not use community areas for any unlawful purpose.
5. Intellectual Property (e.g., Patents/Copyrights/Trademarks/Trade Names/ Trade Secrets, etc. are property of their owners and you agree not to use, share, or otherwise post something that might infringe on their rights. VERY IMPORTANT.
a. This community respects the intellectual property rights of others. This means that you agree that you will only post videos created by you and in which you own all copyrights. This also includes writings of original authors. If unsure, do thorough research of your rights and responsibilities when posting ANYTHING not of your own creation. A example is many versions of the Bible have copyrights to their version. Two examples in public domain are the KJV and ASV. Blueletterbible.org is a very helpful website.
b. You represent with respect to each video, writing, and all content that you post, that it does not infringe the copyright, trademark, trade name, or trade secret of any person or entity. By posting a video you agree to indemnify and hold Last Days Church harmless from and against any liability, claims, costs, and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees it incurs) if a claim is made that your video or any content you posted infringes the copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property of anyone else. This is important, and could cost YOU significant amounts of money.
c. In your use of any part of this Site, you agree that you will not infringe, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of Last Days Church or any third party. Your use of the this Site does not grant you any license to copy, modify, reverse engineer, download, distribute, or sell the intellectual property of Last Days Church or others.
d. Last Days Church reserves the right, in appropriate circumstances and in its sole and exclusive judgment, to terminate the access and accounts (including the ability to participate in the community and use the Site) of any user of the Site who we consider to be a repeat or blatant infringer of the copyrights of others.
e. If you are a copyright owner and believe that your copyright has been infringed by a posting on the Site, read below, for complete information about providing us a notice of infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”).
f. If you have posted material we removed because we received a notice of infringement, and you believe your material was removed in mistake and is not infringing, you may send us a counter-notice under the DMCA.
6. Any language, text, data, information, graphics or videos that could be considered vulgar, pornographic, obscene, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, hateful, unlawful; that are racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable; or that violate any copyright or other intellectual property rights of any person can and will be removed up to and including the entire account deepending on seriousness of violation.
a. This is a Christian community. It is expected that members can discuss topics without resorting to name calling or in ways unbecoming of Christian behavior towards one another. Will there be disagreements here and there? There are over 4000 religions on the earth. This community is based on no religion. Jesus is a relationship. Certainly the Bible, Gods Word is our instruction manual. The Holy Spirit is our guide and leader in many, many, ways. The new believer in Christ is the actual temple of God. Not a buliding. If you disagree on another members views, How about instead of trying to tear them down, you give brotherly love and Biblical proofs as to what you believe. Be a Berean as in Acts and exort and teach other. Who knows, maybe they are right and you are wrong and your Brother or Sister helped you.
b. When using this community, talk to others like your speaking to Jesus. They are after all your brothers and sisters an Christ. Some may try to be sneaky by spelling words differently on purpose or using symbols. Vulgarity will not be tolerated. Creating a handle or making comments that are sexually suggestive is a violation of this rule and will not be tolerated..
c. Linking to a site that contains information that violates this TOS is unacceptable.
7. You will not harass, threaten, embarrass or distress members, either in the community itself or via personal email, phone, physical mail or in person. You will not engage in name-calling or personal attacks in the course of discussion or debate. You will not post inflammatory remarks simply for the purpose for evoking reaction or starting fights with other community members. If you have thoughts of dividing the community verses building it up, expect your trolling to be quickly found out nor tolerated. Attacking the character or motives of someone who differs with your view or denying that he or she is a Christian is unacceptable.
8. It is important you keep your personal information to yourself. You will not ask members for their phone number, physical locations, email, instant message ID, or other identifying information. Both the one asking for such information and the one supplying it will be viewed as violating this rule. There are many goats among the sheep and YOU must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. This website is not meant to replace worshipping at a physical location and among other believers. That could be a home congregation or if you able to find now, a non-denominational, Bible believing church. Here you will be able to start your own online group for study, prayer, whatever God leads you to do.

15. You will not promote by repeated statements, by provision of URLs to other websites, by recommendation to engage in non-community activities such as watching programs, reading books, or attending events, or by any other means, beliefs or teachings contrary to those of Christianity or the Born-again experience, and as interpreted by Last Days Church at its sole discretion.

b. Use of multiple names is limited to no more than two usernames. Given the benefits of anonymity in a online envirement LastDaysChurch suggest you use that to your advantage. Perhaps you may be discussing certain personal issues or feel you don't want to expose yourself which is perfectly fine.

The important thing is to feel comfortable in your own skin and realize that we are to share and put Jesus first. All attempts will be made to monitor the community from those that would not be a good fit. That can be anywhere from a simple warning to immediate removal at Last Days Church discretion. Individuals who have been blocked, barred, secured, or banned are not permitted to create a new account as a way to circumnavigate the consequences for violating the Terms of Service. Last Days Church reserves the right to terminate any new accounts which have been established in this manner as well as remove any content posted.
3. Community members shall understand that we live in a imperfect and sinful world. This website is to connet with others in glorifying God and growing in our Savior.

If unsure a member is not grounded in the Word and possibly spreading a false Gospel, etc. just report them so we can observe. Last Days Church commitment is to providing the safest forum possible with Christian values sensitive to a wholesome community environment as possible. Having said that, participating in this online community is done at one's own risk.

By posting a video you agree to indemnify and hold Last Days Church harmless from and against any liability, claims, costs, and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees it incurs) if a claim is made that your video or any content you posted infringes the copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property of anyone else.

a. This is a Christian community. It is expected that members can discuss topics without resorting to name calling or in ways unbecoming of Christian behavior towards one another. Will there be disagreements here and there? There are over 4000 religions on the earth. This community is based on no religion. Jesus is a relationship. Certainly the Bible, Gods Word is our instruction manual. The Holy Spirit is our guide and leader in many, many, ways. The new believer in Christ is the actual temple of God. Not a buliding. If you disagree on another members views, How about instead of trying to tear them down, you give brotherly love and Biblical proofs as to what you believe. Be a Berean as in Acts and exort and teach other. Who knows, maybe they are right and you are wrong and your Brother or Sister helped you.
b. When using this community, talk to others like your speaking to Jesus. They are after all your brothers and sisters an Christ.

Last Days Church Community Guidelines
1.It will be assumed that community members will have read and agreed to these community guidelines (“Community Guidelines”) for Lastdayschurch.org (the “Site”) and, by occasional rereading of them, to be aware of changes and updates to the Community Guidelines.
a. It is your responsibility to periodically check the rules and make yourself aware of any changes.
2. Only members who have registered with full registration data including real name and a valid e-mail address are permitted in community areas. Failure to register, or registration with false information, especially misrepresentation of age, gender or email address, is grounds for immediate blocking of access. Additionally, it is the member's responsibility to update and maintain a valid email address with their membership.
a. Forums, videos, blogs, article comments and profile comments are all considered "community areas" as is the entire website.
b. Use of multiple names is limited to no more than two usernames. Given the benefits of anonymity in a online envirement LastDaysChurch suggest you use that to your advantage. Perhaps you may be discussing certain personal issues or feel you don't want to expose yourself which is perfectly fine. Use of a different username to protect privacy may be appropriate and even ADVISEABLE. There are those that want to shout from a housetop and those that feel more comfortable in the shadows. The important thing is to feel comfortable in your own skin and realize that we are to share and put Jesus first. All attempts will be made to monitor the community from those that would not be a good fit. That can be anywhere from a simple warning to immediate removal at Last Days Church discretion. Individuals who have been blocked, barred, secured, or banned are not permitted to create a new account as a way to circumnavigate the consequences for violating the Terms of Service. Last Days Church reserves the right to terminate any new accounts which have been established in this manner as well as remove any content posted.
3. Community members shall understand that we live in a imperfect and sinful world. This website is to connet with others in glorifying God and growing in our Savior.

Last Days Church Community Guidelines
1.It will be assumed that community members will have read and agreed to these community guidelines (“Community Guidelines”) for Lastdayschurch.org (the “Site”) and, by occasional rereading of them, to be aware of changes and updates to the Community Guidelines.
a. It is your responsibility to periodically check the rules and make yourself aware of any changes.
2. Only members who have registered with full registration data including real name and a valid e-mail address are permitted in community areas. Failure to register, or registration with false information, especially misrepresentation of age, gender or email address, is grounds for immediate blocking of access. Additionally, it is the member's responsibility to update and maintain a valid email address with their membership.
a. Forums, videos, blogs, article comments and profile comments are all considered "community areas" as is the entire website.
b. Use of multiple names is limited to no more than two usernames. Given the benefits of anonymity in a online envirement LastDaysChurch suggest you use that to your advantage. Perhaps you may be discussing certain personal issues or feel you don't want to expose yourself which is perfectly fine. Use of a different username to protect privacy may be appropriate and even ADVISEABLE. There are those that want to shout from a housetop and those that feel more comfortable in the shadows. The important thing is to feel comfortable in your own skin and realize that we are to share and put Jesus first. All attempts will be made to monitor the community from those that would not be a good fit. That can be anywhere from a simple warning to immediate removal at Last Days Church discretion. Individuals who have been blocked, barred, secured, or banned are not permitted to create a new account as a way to circumnavigate the consequences for violating the Terms of Service. Last Days Church reserves the right to terminate any new accounts which have been established in this manner as well as remove any content posted.
3. Community members shall understand that we live in a imperfect and sinful world. This website is to connet with others in glorifying God and growing in our Savior. But there are those that want to sow division and discord many times purposely, but sometimes in ignorance. Thus you are many times the eyes and the ears of the community. If unsure a member is not grounded in the Word and possibly spreading a false Gospel, etc. just report them so we can observe. Last Days Church commitment is to providing the safest forum possible with Christian values sensitive to a wholesome community environment as possible. Having said that, participating in this online community is done at one's own risk.

This also includes writings of original authors. If unsure, do thorough research of your rights and responsibilities when posting ANYTHING not of your own creation. A example is many versions of the Bible have copyrights to their version. Two examples in public domain are the KJV and ASV. Blueletterbible.org is a very helpful website.
b. You represent with respect to each video, writing, and all content that you post, that it does not infringe the copyright, trademark, trade name, or trade secret of any person or entity. By posting a video you agree to indemnify and hold Last Days Church harmless from and against any liability, claims, costs, and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees it incurs) if a claim is made that your video or any content you posted infringes the copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property of anyone else. This is important, and could cost YOU significant amounts of money.

Any language, text, data, information, graphics or videos that could be considered vulgar, pornographic, obscene, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, hateful, unlawful; that are racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable; or that violate any copyright or other intellectual property rights of any person can and will be removed up to and including the entire account deepending on seriousness of violation.
a. This is a Christian community. It is expected that members can discuss topics without resorting to name calling or in ways unbecoming of Christian behavior towards one another. Will there be disagreements here and there? There are over 4000 religions on the earth. This community is based on no religion. Jesus is a relationship. Certainly the Bible, Gods Word is our instruction manual. The Holy Spirit is our guide and leader in many, many, ways. The new believer in Christ is the actual temple of God. Not a buliding. If you disagree on another members views, How about instead of trying to tear them down, you give brotherly love and Biblical proofs as to what you believe. Be a Berean as in Acts and exort and teach other. Who knows, maybe they are right and you are wrong and your Brother or Sister helped you.
b. When using this community, talk to others like your speaking to Jesus. They are after all your brothers and sisters an Christ. Some may try to be sneaky by spelling words differently on purpose or using symbols. Vulgarity will not be tolerated.

c. Linking to a site that contains information that violates this TOS is unacceptable.
7. You will not harass, threaten, embarrass or distress members, either in the community itself or via personal email, phone, physical mail or in person. You will not engage in name-calling or personal attacks in the course of discussion or debate. You will not post inflammatory remarks simply for the purpose for evoking reaction or starting fights with other community members. If you have thoughts of dividing the community verses building it up, expect your trolling to be quickly found out nor tolerated. Attacking the character or motives of someone who differs with your view or denying that he or she is a Christian is unacceptable.
8. It is important you keep your personal information to yourself. You will not ask members for their phone number, physical locations, email, instant message ID, or other identifying information. Both the one asking for such information and the one supplying it will be viewed as violating this rule. There are many goats among the sheep and YOU must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. This website is not meant to replace worshipping at a physical location and among other believers. That could be a home congregation or if you able to find now, a non-denominational, Bible believing church. Here you will be able to start your own online group for study, prayer, whatever God leads you to do.

If unsure a member is not grounded in the Word and possibly spreading a false Gospel, etc. just report them so we can observe. Last Days Church commitment is to providing the safest forum possible with Christian values sensitive to a wholesome community environment as possible. Having said that, participating in this online community is done at one's own risk. Children (those under 18 years of age) should never be on this website as we cannot be responsible for the safety of children in community areas. Therefore:
a. Users must be at least 18 years old to participate in our community.
4. You will not use community areas for any unlawful purpose.
5. Intellectual Property (e.g., Patents/Copyrights/Trademarks/Trade Names/ Trade Secrets, etc. are property of their owners and you agree not to use, share, or otherwise post something that might infringe on their rights. VERY IMPORTANT.
a. This community respects the intellectual property rights of others. This means that you agree that you will only post videos created by you and in which you own all copyrights. This also includes writings of original authors. If unsure, do thorough research of your rights and responsibilities when posting ANYTHING not of your own creation. A example is many versions of the Bible have copyrights to their version. Two examples in public domain are the KJV and ASV. Blueletterbible.org is a very helpful website.
b. You represent with respect to each video, writing, and all content that you post, that it does not infringe the copyright, trademark, trade name, or trade secret of any person or entity. By posting a video you agree to indemnify and hold Last Days Church harmless from and against any liability, claims, costs, and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees it incurs) if a claim is made that your video or any content you posted infringes the copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property of anyone else. This is important, and could cost YOU significant amounts of money.
c. In your use of any part of this Site, you agree that you will not infringe, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of Last Days Church or any third party. Your use of the this Site does not grant you any license to copy, modify, reverse engineer, download, distribute, or sell the intellectual property of Last Days Church or others.
d.

a. This is a Christian community. It is expected that members can discuss topics without resorting to name calling or in ways unbecoming of Christian behavior towards one another. Will there be disagreements here and there? There are over 4000 religions on the earth. This community is based on no religion. Jesus is a relationship. Certainly the Bible, Gods Word is our instruction manual. The Holy Spirit is our guide and leader in many, many, ways. The new believer in Christ is the actual temple of God. Not a buliding. If you disagree on another members views, How about instead of trying to tear them down, you give brotherly love and Biblical proofs as to what you believe. Be a Berean as in Acts and exort and teach other. Who knows, maybe they are right and you are wrong and your Brother or Sister helped you.
b. When using this community, talk to others like your speaking to Jesus. They are after all your brothers and sisters an Christ. Some may try to be sneaky by spelling words differently on purpose or using symbols. Vulgarity will not be tolerated. Creating a handle or making comments that are sexually suggestive is a violation of this rule and will not be tolerated..
c. Linking to a site that contains information that violates this TOS is unacceptable.
7. You will not harass, threaten, embarrass or distress members, either in the community itself or via personal email, phone, physical mail or in person. You will not engage in name-calling or personal attacks in the course of discussion or debate. You will not post inflammatory remarks simply for the purpose for evoking reaction or starting fights with other community members. If you have thoughts of dividing the community verses building it up, expect your trolling to be quickly found out nor tolerated. Attacking the character or motives of someone who differs with your view or denying that he or she is a Christian is unacceptable.
8. It is important you keep your personal information to yourself. You will not ask members for their phone number, physical locations, email, instant message ID, or other identifying information. Both the one asking for such information and the one supplying it will be viewed as violating this rule. There are many goats among the sheep and YOU must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. This website is not meant to replace worshipping at a physical location and among other believers. That could be a home congregation or if you able to find now, a non-denominational, Bible believing church. Here you will be able to start your own online group for study, prayer, whatever God leads you to do.
