KavLyfe Terms of Service & Conditions of Use

KavLyfe ("KavLyfe," "we," "us," or "our") operates a search engine dedicated to gospel-related content, alongside a family of first-party apps (video, music, events, devotional, and short-form video). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the KavLyfe website, mobile app, search engine, APIs, and related services (together, the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

KavLyfe's core search functionality is available to anyone, without an account, regardless of age. Creating an account, however, requires that you be at or above the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, or that a parent or guardian consents on your behalf where you are below that age. You are responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with the laws applicable to you.

KavLyfe provides a search engine that indexes gospel-related content from across the public web, and ranks content from its own first-party apps above third-party results. KavLyfe does not host or control most of the third-party content returned in search results - that content remains on infrastructure operated by its original, independent source.

As a result:

• KavLyfe does not guarantee the accuracy, availability, or continued existence of any specific third-party search result.
• Clicking a third-party result may redirect you to that source's own app (if installed on your device) or load the content within an in-app browser.
• KavLyfe will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep its index current and to remove content subject to a valid takedown request, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Service.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

The Service is currently offered free of charge. KavLyfe may introduce optional paid features in the future, with advance notice, and nothing in these Terms obligates KavLyfe to keep any specific feature free indefinitely.

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Submit false or bad-faith content reports intended to suppress legitimate content.
• Attempt to breach, disable, or circumvent the security of KavLyfe's systems.
• Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the Service other than through the Service's own intended use.
• Upload, submit, or transmit content that is unlawful, infringes third-party intellectual property rights, or violates any applicable law.
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

KavLyfe reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, with or without notice, depending on severity.

Content published through KavLyfe's own first-party apps remains the property of KavLyfe or its content partners, as applicable. Content indexed from third-party sources remains the property of its original owner. KavLyfe claims no ownership over indexed third-party content and provides only a link, title, description, and thumbnail sufficient for search purposes. If you believe indexed content infringes your copyright, see our DMCA / Copyright Takedown Policy.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KAVLYFE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. KAVLYFE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY CONTENT IT INDEXES, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ACCURATE, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KAVLYFE'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). KAVLYFE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

You agree to indemnify and hold KavLyfe harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your violation of applicable law.

Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. KavLyfe may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we reasonably suspect fraud, abuse, or a security risk.

12.1 Informal resolution first

Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact KavLyfe at [email protected] and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

12.2 General governing law and forum

Except where Section 12.3 below requires otherwise for your jurisdiction, these Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and any dispute not resolved informally will be subject to binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by Lagos Court Arbitration, under the Arbitration and Mediation Act 2023, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court where eligible. You and KavLyfe each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, consolidated, or representative action, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12.3 Jurisdiction-specific carve-outs

Mandatory consumer-protection and data-protection laws in certain jurisdictions override the default arbitration and class-action-waiver terms above. Where you are a resident of one of the jurisdictions below, the following applies instead, to the extent required by local law:

• European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland: if you are a consumer, you may bring a claim in the courts of your own country of residence, and mandatory consumer-protection provisions of that country's law will apply regardless of the governing-law clause above.
• United States (certain states): where a restriction on mandatory arbitration or class-action waivers applies to you, the arbitration provisions in Section 12.2 apply only to the extent enforceable under your state's law.
• Nigeria and other jurisdictions with statutory consumer-arbitration limits: where local law restricts a business's ability to compel a consumer into binding arbitration, disputes may instead be brought before the courts with competent jurisdiction over your place of residence.
• Any other jurisdiction where mandatory arbitration or a class-action waiver is unenforceable by law: the unenforceable portion of Section 12.2 will not apply to you, and the applicable dispute will instead proceed in the courts of competent jurisdiction where you reside.

12.4 Severability

If any part of this section is found unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, only that part is severed for that jurisdiction, and the remainder of this section and these Terms as a whole remains in effect.

KavLyfe may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified via email or an in-app notice at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
