Last updated: May 12, 2026 Licensor: CityGate Church Inc ("CityGate", "we", "us", "our") Contact: support@citygatechurch.com Application: CityGate Mobile (the "App") Governing law: State of North Carolina, USA
1. What this agreement is
This End User License Agreement ("EULA") is the deal between you ("you" or "End User") and CityGate that lets you put the App on your phone and use it. By downloading, installing, opening, or otherwise using the App, you're telling us you accept this EULA. If any of it isn't something you can live with, the right answer is not to install or use the App.
You also confirm that you are at least 13 years old (in the United States) — or the equivalent "age of digital consent" in your country — and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this EULA. The App is not licensed to, and may not be used by, anyone under that age. If you are a parent or guardian who lets a child use the App on a shared device (for example, to look at the kids check-in flow), you remain responsible for that child's interactions with the App and for compliance with this EULA. See section 6 of our Privacy Policy for how children's information is handled.
2. The license we're giving you
While you keep your end of this EULA, CityGate grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on a mobile device that you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, and only for what the App is meant to do. That's the whole license. Nothing else is implied, and any use that isn't expressly covered here isn't covered at all.
3. What you agree not to do with the App
The license above does not let you (and you agree not to let anyone else):
- Make copies of the App except where this EULA expressly allows it
- Modify, translate, adapt, or build derivative works on top of the App
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise try to recover the App's source code, except in the narrow circumstances where the law gives you that right despite a contractual prohibition
- Sell, lease, rent, lend, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise transfer the App to anybody else
- Strip, edit, hide, or otherwise mess with any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice the App carries
- Use the App in any way that breaks a law that applies to you
- Use the App as part of anything malicious, fraudulent, or designed to hurt other people or systems
4. Who owns what
The App is licensed, not sold. CityGate (and the third parties whose components are inside the App) keeps every right, title, and interest in the App and everything that goes into it — code, design, text, graphics, the lot — including all intellectual-property rights. The only rights you receive are the ones spelled out in section 2; anything that isn't expressly granted is reserved.
5. Outside services and content the App leans on
The App talks to a small set of outside services and pulls in some outside content to do its job. That includes Clerk for sign-in, Planning Center Online for our people and check-in records, Resend for transactional email, Expo for push delivery, YouTube for public sermon video metadata, YouVersion for Bible reference and verse data, and Church Online Platform for the live video player. When you use parts of the App that touch any of those, the relevant provider's own terms and privacy policy apply on top of this EULA. Bible text reaches you through the YouVersion API and stays the property of the publishers behind it; the App does not give you the right to redistribute that text on your own.
Some features in the App also rely on your device's own capabilities. For example, setting a profile photo prompts your operating system for permission to use your camera and/or photo library, and push notifications require permission to display alerts. Granting or declining any of these device-permission prompts is up to you and is controlled by your device's OS settings — declining will not stop the rest of the App from working; you simply won't be able to use the optional feature that needed the permission until you grant it. What we collect through any of these features is described in our Privacy Policy.
6. Privacy
Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what we collect, why we collect it, and who else gets to see it. By using the App you acknowledge the Privacy Policy.
7. Updates and maintenance
CityGate may, but is not obligated to, ship updates, bug fixes, patches, and new versions of the App from time to time. Some of those updates may be required for the App to keep working properly, and by using the App you agree to receive them. Your device's app-store preferences continue to control the actual install behaviour.
8. How long this EULA lasts, and how it ends
This EULA stays in effect from the moment you start using the App until it's terminated. It ends automatically and without notice the instant you breach any of its terms. You can also end it at any time by uninstalling the App and stopping all use. Once it ends, the license in section 2 ends with it; you must stop using the App and remove every copy from any device under your control. Sections that, by their nature, are meant to live on after the EULA ends do — that includes section 3 (restrictions), section 4 (ownership), section 9 (no warranties), section 10 (limits on what you can recover), section 11 (the Apple-specific addendum), and section 12 (governing law).
9. No warranties
The App is provided to you "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent the law allows, CityGate disclaims every implied warranty — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement — and we don't promise the App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, free of bugs, or able to do everything you might want it to. Anything you rely on from the App, you rely on at your own risk.
10. Limits on what you can recover from us
To the maximum extent the law allows, in no event will CityGate be liable to you for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or lost goodwill, arising out of or connected to your use of the App — even if we knew or should have known those kinds of losses might happen. If, despite the above, CityGate ends up legally responsible to you for something related to this EULA, the most we'll owe you in total for all claims combined is fifty U.S. dollars ($50).
11. Apple-specific addendum (Licensed Application End User License Agreement)
If you got the App from the Apple App Store, the additional terms in this section apply on top of the rest of the EULA. Where there's a clash between the rest of this EULA and the section below for App Store installations, the section below wins for that conflict.
11.1 Who this agreement is between
This EULA is solely between you and CityGate. Apple Inc. ("Apple") is not a party to it. Apple is not responsible for the App or for anything inside the App. CityGate, not Apple, is the party on the hook for the App.
11.2 What the license actually covers on Apple devices
For Apple-distributed copies of the App, the license in section 2 is read as a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, in line with the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Other accounts that are linked to you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing may also use the App.
11.3 Maintenance and support
Maintenance and support for the App, to the extent any is required by this EULA or by law, is CityGate's responsibility — Apple has no obligation at all to provide maintenance or support for the App.
11.4 Warranty (and the App Store refund route)
CityGate is responsible for any product warranties, express or implied, that haven't been effectively disclaimed. If the App ever fails to live up to a warranty that does apply, you can let Apple know and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) you paid for the App through the App Store. Beyond that App Store refund right, Apple has no other warranty responsibility for the App. Anything else — claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses tied to a warranty failure — is on CityGate.
11.5 Claims about the App
CityGate, not Apple, is the party that handles any claim from you or anyone else about the App or about how you possess or use the App. That includes (without limitation) product-liability claims, claims that the App doesn't meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar laws.
11.6 Intellectual-property claims
If somebody else claims the App, or your use of it, infringes their intellectual-property rights, CityGate (not Apple) is the party that will look into it, defend it, settle it, or otherwise deal with it.
11.7 Compliance with U.S. export rules
You confirm that (i) you're not located in a country that's subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that the U.S. Government has designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (ii) you're not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
11.8 Developer name and address
For questions, complaints, or claims about the App, contact the developer:
CityGate Church Inc 2761 Longpine Rd, Burlington, NC 27215 support@citygatechurch.com
11.9 Other third-party terms
Some features of the App rely on third-party agreements (the ones described in section 5). You agree to abide by the applicable third-party terms when you use those features.
11.10 Apple as a third-party beneficiary
You and CityGate acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this EULA. Once you accept it, Apple has the right (and is treated as having accepted that right) to enforce this EULA against you as a third-party beneficiary.
12. Governing law
This EULA is governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules — except where another jurisdiction's law mandatorily applies and overrides that choice. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
13. The whole agreement
This EULA, together with our Privacy Policy and anything else we point to from inside the App, is the entire agreement between you and CityGate about the App. It supersedes any prior or contemporaneous understanding between us on the subject, whether spoken, written, or electronic.
