Terms of Service

Last updated: March 16, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using PewNeighbor. By creating an account or using our service, you agree to be bound by these terms.

1. About PewNeighbor

PewNeighbor is a friendship-finding platform for members of church communities. It is designed to help people find friends and couple-friends within their church. PewNeighbor is not a dating service and must not be used as one. Creating an account with romantic intent toward other members is a violation of these Terms and may result in immediate account termination.

PewNeighbor is operated as a private platform. Access is limited to members of registered church communities. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason consistent with applicable law.

2. Eligibility

To use PewNeighbor you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age.
  • Be a member of a registered church community on the platform.
  • Provide accurate information when creating your account and profile.
  • Not have previously been banned from PewNeighbor for a Terms violation.
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement in your jurisdiction.

3. Account Registration and Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your sign-in credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at legal@pewneighbor.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

You may only create one account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent a ban or restriction is prohibited.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your profile information up to date.

4. Church Accounts

Registration

Churches may apply to register on PewNeighbor. Approval is at our sole discretion. By registering a church, the church administrator represents that:

  • They are authorized to act on behalf of the church.
  • The church is a legitimate, active religious community.
  • The information provided during registration is accurate.

Administrator responsibilities

Church administrators are responsible for:

  • Distributing the church join code only to actual members of their congregation.
  • Reviewing and acting on member reports in a timely manner.
  • Removing members who violate these Terms.
  • Keeping their church's account information current.

PewNeighbor is not responsible for the actions of church administrators or their failure to moderate their community.

Subscriptions and billing

Church accounts are subject to the subscription tiers displayed on our pricing page. Subscription fees are billed monthly or annually in advance. All fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice to the church's administrator email.

If a church exceeds its member limit, new members will be unable to join until the church upgrades to a higher tier or existing members are removed.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use PewNeighbor to:

  • Harass, threaten, intimidate, stalk, or harm any other user.
  • Use the platform for romantic or sexual solicitation of any kind.
  • Post or transmit content that is defamatory, obscene, pornographic, or otherwise objectionable.
  • Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any organization.
  • Collect or harvest personal information about other users.
  • Send unsolicited commercial messages or spam.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or network.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of PewNeighbor.
  • Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access or interact with the service.
  • Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation.
  • Facilitate or encourage any of the above activities.

6. Content

Your content

You retain ownership of the content you submit to PewNeighbor (profile text, messages, photos). By submitting content, you grant PewNeighbor a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, display, and transmit that content solely for the purpose of operating the service.

Content standards

All content you post must be accurate, lawful, and consistent with these Terms. You must not post content that violates any third party's rights, including intellectual property rights or privacy rights.

Content moderation

We reserve the right (but not the obligation) to review, edit, or remove any content that violates these Terms or that we determine, in our sole discretion, is harmful or inappropriate. Removal of content does not constitute a waiver of our right to take further action, including account termination.

7. Privacy

Your use of PewNeighbor is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

8. Termination

By you

You may delete your account at any time from your account settings. Deletion is permanent and irreversible. We do not offer refunds of any prepaid subscription fees upon account deletion.

By us

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately and without notice if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms, that your use of the service creates legal risk for us or other users, or that continued access is otherwise inappropriate. We will generally attempt to notify you by email unless doing so would be harmful or impractical.

Effect of termination

Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 9, 10, 11, and 12.

9. Disclaimers

PEWNEIGHBOR IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We do not verify the identity of users beyond the information they provide, and we make no representations about the character, intentions, or suitability of any user you may connect with through PewNeighbor.

PewNeighbor is a technology platform, not a church, counseling service, or background-check service. You are solely responsible for exercising your own judgment in all interactions with other users, including when agreeing to meet in person.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PEWNEIGHBOR AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

IN NO EVENT WILL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PewNeighbor and its owners, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another person or entity.

12. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of PewNeighbor that cannot be resolved informally will be submitted to binding arbitration in Tennesseeunder the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened misappropriation or infringement of intellectual property rights. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify registered users by email and update the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of PewNeighbor after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the service and delete your account.
