Terms of use

What this is

PewRota builds a ministry rota from the services, ministries, people and rules you enter. PewRota applies the rules you set for your own parish; it ships no liturgical rules of its own. It is a tool for the scheduler; the rota it makes is yours to check, change and publish as your parish sees fit.

Your data

Everything you enter stays in your browser on your computer. You are responsible for having the parish's permission to hold the names you enter, and for keeping a backup file if you need one. We cannot recover anything that is cleared from a browser.

What is free

One ministry with up to 25 people, a month at a time, the review grid, every printout, drafts, backup, the guides and the FAQ are free with no account and stay that way. A paid plan adds every ministry and person, a quarter or a year, fairness carried between quarters, the swap log and CSV export. Nothing on the free list will be moved behind a payment.

Names and trademarks

Ministry names such as lector or sidesperson are ordinary words. Other products are named only in the comparison guide, as their own pages describe them. PewRota is not affiliated with or endorsed by any church, denomination, diocese or scheduling software company.

Refunds

Not happy with a purchase? Email [email protected] within 14 days of a first purchase, or within 7 days of a renewal, and we will refund it. Send the message from the email address you used at checkout, and include:

• the email address used at checkout (if you are writing from a different address)
• your access code, shown on the Premium page while you are subscribed on the browser you purchased from
• roughly when you purchased, and which plan (weekly, yearly or lifetime)
• the last 4 digits of the card, if you have the receipt handy

That is everything needed to find the purchase and process the refund. This policy does not limit any statutory rights you may have.

Acceptable use

Use the site to schedule volunteers. Do not scrape it at a rate that degrades it for other people, and do not enter anyone's details you have no right to hold.

Warranty and liability

The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, PewRota is not liable for any loss arising from the use of the site or from reliance on anything on it. Check the rota before you publish it; a rota is a plan made by volunteers, not a promise.

Contact

Questions, or a report that the builder broke a rule it says it keeps, go to the support address in the footer. A rule broken without a flag is a defect and gets fixed.
