Legal
Terms of Use
These terms govern your use of All Things New at hopestartsherecd.org — including Bible study guides, emotional-need journeys, accounts, and spiritual support requests.
Agreement
By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you create an account or send a support message, you must also confirm that agreement when prompted. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
What this site offers
All Things New is a free ministry resource. You may explore study guides, reflection content for emotional needs (such as peace, hope, prayer, or illness), create an optional account to save progress, and request prayer or spiritual support. The site is offered for spiritual encouragement, not as a commercial product or professional advice service.
Accounts
Accounts require a first name, email, and password. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for activity under your account. Provide accurate information. You may update your first name and email in your profile, reset your password by email, and permanently delete your account from your profile settings. We may suspend or close accounts used to harm others, abuse the service, or violate these terms.
Study materials and journeys
You may read our guides and journeys for personal, non-commercial spiritual growth and share links to pages on this site. Do not copy large portions for republication, sale, or redistribution without permission, and do not present our materials as your own. Scripture quotations remain subject to the rights of their publishers and translators.
Spiritual support requests
When you submit a prayer request, Bible question, request to talk with someone, Bible study request, baptism inquiry, or other message, you agree to communicate honestly and respectfully. Messages may be read by ministry team members so they can pray and respond. We will try to care for you thoughtfully, but we cannot guarantee a particular outcome, response time, or ongoing counseling relationship.
Not medical, legal, or clinical advice
Content about illness, grief, anxiety, relationships, or other struggles is for spiritual reflection. It is not medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice and does not replace qualified professionals. If you face a medical emergency, mental-health crisis, or immediate danger, contact local emergency services or appropriate help right away. This site is not an emergency service.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Harass, threaten, exploit, or harm others
- Submit false, abusive, or unlawful content through forms or accounts
- Attempt to disrupt, scrape excessively, or gain unauthorized access to the site or its data
- Use the site for spam, fraud, or commercial exploitation without permission
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your connection to this ministry
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise noted, the site design, original text, and compiled study materials are protected by applicable law. Brand names remain the property of their owners.
Availability
We aim to keep the site available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Features and content may change as the ministry grows.
Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The site and its content are provided “as is.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, All Things New and those who serve this ministry are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect and how we use it, including cookies and account deletion.
