Terms of Use · Termos de Uso

Effective November 8, 2026 · Version 2026-11-08

These terms are the rules for using the Catedral da Família app and website. Please read them. By creating an account, you agree to them.

Who we are

The app is made for the church Catedral da Família, in Burlingame, California.
The app is published by Leonardo Machado ("we"). The church decides what goes in it and who can see what.
Questions? Write to catedraldafamilia@gmail.com.

You must be 13 or older to have an account.
Children under 13 do not get their own account. A parent or guardian adds them to the family in the app.
If you are 13 to 17, a parent or guardian should know that you use the app and agree to these terms.

Give true information about yourself.
Keep your password and sign-in codes private. Do not share your account.
Keep your Kids passcode secret. Anyone who knows it can collect your child. Change it at once if someone else may know it.
If you sign in by text, you agree to receive one-time codes by SMS (US numbers only). Message and data rates may apply. We send no other texts.
Tell the church at once if you think someone else used your account.
You are responsible for what happens in your account.
A guest account is a light account for paying for events: you see your tickets, receipts and account, and nothing else of the church. The same rules apply, and you must be 13 or older. You can become a member at any time; your tickets and receipts stay with you.

Harass, threaten or hurt anyone.
Post anything hateful, sexual, violent or otherwise objectionable, in a chat or anywhere else. It is not tolerated. Leaders review reports within 24 hours, remove what breaks these rules, and can close the account.
Pretend to be someone else.
Post photos or details of other people without their permission.
Copy data out of the app in bulk, or use robots or scripts on it.
Misuse the public forms (for example, send fake visitor forms or sign-ups).
Try to get into parts of the app you are not allowed to see.
Break the law or the church's rules.

What you post (for example, a profile photo, an answer to a form or a message in the chat of an escala, a ministry's service date) stays yours.
Messages in an escala chat are read by the people serving in that escala, its ministry leaders and the Lead Pastors. You can edit or delete your own; leaders can delete any; anyone can report one. A report goes to the ministry's leaders and the Lead Pastors, never to the person reported; a report about a Lead Pastor goes only to the other Lead Pastors.
You can hide a person's messages in the escala chats just for you (they are not told); you can still report them.
Songs and YouTube links you add to an escala are seen by everyone on it. Only add links you are allowed to share. A YouTube link opens on YouTube, under YouTube's own terms.
You let the church and us store and show it, only to run the app for the church.
The church may remove anything that breaks these rules.

When you accept an escala, you commit to it: only a leader can remove or replace you.

When you pay for an event, you buy it from the church, not from us.
Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or keep your card number.
Refunds follow the church's Refund Policy: no refunds, including when you cancel your own sign-up, except when the church cancels the event date. Then you get a full refund automatically. The Refund Policy has the details (in the app: Me, then About and legal).

Kids check-in is a tool to help the church's volunteers. It does not guarantee a child's safety.
The app is not for emergencies. In an emergency, call 911.

We work hard to keep the app working and safe, but we cannot promise it will always work or have no mistakes.
As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for indirect losses. Our total responsibility to you is limited to $100.
You agree to cover our costs if a claim against us comes from your own misuse of the app.
Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have by law that cannot be waived.

We may change these terms. When we do, the app shows the new version and asks you to accept it before you go on.
If you do not accept, you can still download your data and delete your account.

You can delete your account at any time: Me, then Account, then Delete account. You can also read how on our website, without signing in.
The church may close an account that breaks these rules.

If you are under 18, you can remove things you posted, or ask us to remove them. Write to catedraldafamilia@gmail.com.

If you got the app from the App Store, Apple is not a party to these terms and is not responsible for the app or its support. Apple's standard license (EULA) also applies.

California law applies. Any dispute goes to the courts of San Mateo County, California.
