Terms of Use

Effective October 28, 2026 · draft under legal review

These terms are an agreement between you and LightYoke, which builds and runs this app, and the ministry you serve with, which uses it to organize volunteers. By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app.

1. What the app is

The app is a scheduling and communication tool. It helps the ministry post needs, gather volunteers, and keep a team in touch. LightYoke does not supervise, direct, inspect or guarantee any work. The ministry and its leaders organize and supervise each visit.

2. Who may use it

You must be 18 or older, approved by the ministry, and must keep your account details accurate. Your account is for you alone; don’t share your sign-in.

3. Serving

Before you serve you must pass the ministry’s background check and agree to the Volunteer Release and the Code of Conduct. You choose which needs to help with. You may decline any task, and you may stop work at any time if you think it is unsafe.

4. Your conduct in the app

Don’t post anything unlawful, threatening, harassing, sexual, or that shares someone’s private information. Don’t take or share pictures of people without their permission. Don’t try to see information you aren’t meant to see. Admins may hide or remove content, and suspend or close accounts, to protect the people we serve and the volunteers serving.

5. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what we keep and who can see it. A person’s address stays inside the app and is shown only to the team who need it, at the time they need it.

6. Texts and notifications

Notifications and texts are optional. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop texts.

7. No warranty

The app is provided “as is.” We work to keep it accurate and available, but we don’t promise it will always work, be error-free, or that notices will always arrive. Always confirm important details with your leader.

8. Limits of responsibility

To the fullest extent the law allows, LightYoke is not responsible for injury, loss or damage arising from any visit, task or work arranged through the app, or from the conduct of any user.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. We’ll change the date above and, for meaningful changes, tell you in the app. Using the app after a change means you accept it.

10. Ending

You may delete your account at any time (Me → Delete my account). The ministry or LightYoke may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts others at risk.

11. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Alaska.
