The gist:

We at DM42.Net provide a communications, publishing, file shareing and collaboration platform called OnlineLutherans.Net and would love for you use it to connect with others on our server as well as others around the world running compatible software. OnlineLutherans' basic service is free, and we offer paid plans for advanced features such as a custom domain name, extra storage, the ability to create a shopping cart, create email list, and many other premium features. Our service is designed to give you as much control and ownership over what goes on your website as possible and encourage you to express yourself freely. However, be responsible in what you publish and be aware of the privacy settings you assigned to your published material. In particular, make sure that none of the prohibited items (like spam, viruses, or serious threats of violence) are stored or published through our service. If you find material on OnlineLutherans that you believe violates these Terms of Service, please report it to us.

(We've made the below Terms of Service available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license, which means you're more than welcome to repurpose it for your own use. Just make sure to replace references to us with ones to you.)

Terms of Service:

The following terms and conditions ("Terms") govern all use of the OnlineLutherans.Net website and all content, services, and products available at or through the website, (taken together, our "Services").

• Your OnlineLutherans Account and associated channels. If you create an account on OnlineLutherans, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account all associated channels, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account, its associated channels and any other actions taken in connection with your account. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized uses of your your account, your channel(s) or any other breaches of security. We will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.
• Responsibility of Contributors. If you upload data, operate a blog, comment on posted items, edit or post material or links to a page, channel, forum, or other application on OnlineLutherans, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available (any such material, "Content"), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content or your conduct. That is the case regardless of what form the Content takes, which includes, but is not limited to text, photo, video, audio, or code. By using OnlineLutherans, you represent and warrant that your Content and conduct do not violate these Terms or our User Guidelines. By submitting Content to OnlineLutherans for transmission through or storage on the service, you grant to us a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of displaying, and distributing, your content. If you delete Content from our server, we will use reasonable efforts to remove it from our services and direct servers to which it was distributed to do the same. You acknowledge, however, that the deleted content may not be made immediately unavailable and it may not be immediately purged from the backups of our services. Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, we have the right (though not the obligation) to, in our sole discretion, (i) reclaim your username or or channel name due to prolonged inactivity, (ii) refuse or remove any content that, in our reasonable opinion, violates any our policy or is in any way harmful, objectionable, or as required by law or (iii) terminate or deny access to and use of OnlineLutherans to any individual or entity for any reason. In such cases, we will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.
• HTTPS. We offer free HTTPS on on many of our services by default, including those using custom domains, usually via Let’s Encrypt. By signing up and using a custom domain on OnlineLutherans, you authorize us to act on the domain name registrant’s behalf (by requesting the necessary certificates, for example) for the sole purpose of protecting your data via HTTPS.

2. Ecommerce.

There are certain features offered on OnlineLutherans that enable you to sell items (goods, content, services, etc.) on your website or through your channel(s) ("Ecommerce Features").

• **Prohibited Uses. You may not use Ecommerce Features for any unlawful purposes, or in furtherance of illegal activities. We may terminate your access to Ecommerce Features if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your use is in any way harmful or objectionable.
• Third Party Services. You may choose to set up and/or use third party services, such Stripe or PayPal to collect payment, TaxJar to calculate taxes, or EasyPost to manage shipping. If you do so, be aware that some of your — and your customers’ — data may be passed to the respective third party, and the respective third party’s terms of service, privacy policy, and other policies may apply. We are not involved in these relationships. Please note that some of these third party services (like TaxJar) may be enabled by default, but you may disable them before your store is set up. If you do not want to use these third party services, please disable them.
• Tax Calculations. You are responsible for all taxes and fees associated with your ecommerce activities. You must collect, report, and/or pay the correct amounts to the appropriate authorities, if applicable, and if needed, inform your customers about any taxes they may be required to pay and issue appropriate invoices. While some Ecommerce Features allow you to include sales taxes or Value Added Taxes in transactions, you should not rely solely on these features. We make our best efforts to keep our content and documents up-to-date, but because the tax law changes rapidly, we cannot guarantee that all the services are completely current. Tax laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may be subject to different interpretations by different authorities. We recommend you consult an appropriate tax professional for your specific tax situation.**

3. Responsibility of Visitors.

OnlineLutherans has not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material, including computer software, posted to our Services, and cannot therefore be responsible for that material's content, use or effects.

You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. Our Services may contain content that is offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable, as well as content containing technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, and other errors.

4. Fees, Payment, and Renewal.

• Fees. Some of our Services are offered for a fee or may be offered for free with optional paid upgrades. By using a Paid Service, you agree to pay the specified fees. If you subscribe to a recurring service, we will bill or charge you for the service in regular intervals (such as monthly, annually, or biennially), on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by contacting the relevant support team.
• Payment. If your payment fails or Paid Services are otherwise not paid for on time, we may immediately cancel or revoke your access to the Paid Services. If you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees for Paid Services, we may revoke your access to our Services in general.
• Automatic Renewal. To ensure uninterrupted service, you may be offered the option to have your services automatically renewed. This means that unless you cancel a Paid Service before the end of the applicable subscription period, it will automatically renew, and you authorize us to invoice you or use any payment mechanism we have on record for you to collect the then-applicable subscription fee (as well as any taxes). Your Paid Services are renewed for the same interval of time. For example, if you purchase an annual plan, you will be charged each year.
• Refunds. While you may cancel a Paid Service at any time, refunds are issued in our sole discretion.
• Fee Changes. We may change our fees at any time. When applicable, we may give you advance notice of the fee changes. If you don't agree with the fee changes, you can cancel your Paid Service.

Cookies Policy

Our Privacy Policy explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing, and storage of your information. This policy specifically explains how we, our partners, and users of our services deploy cookies, as well as the options you have to control them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to "remember" you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a "session cookie") or for multiple repeat visits (using a "persistent cookie"). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as "first party cookies"), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website ("third party cookies"). Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as "web beacons" or "pixels." These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

How we use cookies

We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons; some enable a personalized experience for both visitors and registered users; and some allow the display of information or content from selected third party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the "like" or "follow" button on a post, for example). Many of the cookies we use are only set if you are a registered user of our services (so you don’t have to log in every time, for example), while others are set whenever you visit a page on our server, irrespective of whether you have an account. For more information on the choices you have about the cookies we use, please see the Controlling Cookies section below.

Where we place cookies

We set cookies in a number of different locations across our services. These include:

• On our websites
• In the administrative dashboards of our websites.
• On pages and sites that we host for our users.

Types of Cookie

The table below explains the types of cookies we use on our websites and why we use them.

Category of cookies	Why we use these cookies
Strictly Necessary	These cookies are essential for websites on our services to perform their basic functions. These include those required to allow registered users to authenticate and perform account related functions, as well as to save the contents of virtual "carts" on sites that have an ecommerce functionality.
Functionality	These cookies are used to store preferences set by users such as account name, language, and location.
Security	We use these cookies to help identify and prevent potential security risks.
Analytics and Performance	Performance cookies collect information on how users interact with our websites, including what pages are visited most, as well as other analytical data. We use these details to improve how our websites function and to understand how users interact with them.
Third Party / Embedded Content	Pages and content hosted on our site may make use of different third party applications and services to enhance the experience of website visitors. These include social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter (through the use of sharing buttons), or embedded content from Youtube and Vimeo. As a result, cookies may be set by these third parties, and used by them to track your online activity. We have no direct control over the information that is collected by these cookies.

Examples

Below are examples of the cookies set by us, with explanations of their purpose. Some of these cookies are set across our whole network, whereas some are specific to individual services. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, but rather aims to be representative. Information about cookies that may be set by third parties, is below. In addition, people and companies that use our services to publish or host their own sites may place additional cookies. We provide more information on these cookies below.

Functionality

Cookie	Purpose
PHPSESSID	Login cookie used to identify user.

Please note that this section is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather aims to be representative, and that our users may set additional cookies (such as Google Analytics), depending on the features they have chosen to enable or the plugins they have installed.

Controlling Cookies

Visitors may wish to restrict the use of cookies or completely prevent them from being set. Most browsers provide for ways to control cookie behavior such as the length of time they are stored – either through built-in functionality or by utilizing third party plugins. If you disable cookies, please be aware that some of the features of our service may not function correctly. To find out more on how to manage and delete cookies, visit aboutcookies.org. For more details on your choices regarding use of your web browsing activity for interest-based advertising visit youronlinechoices.eu (EU based) or optout.aboutads.info (US based). On a mobile device, you may also be to adjust your settings to limit ad tracking. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

Consent for Advertising Cookies on Our Sites

You may see a “cookie banner” on our websites and dashboards. If you are visiting one of our users' sites from the EU, then we do not set cookies that are used to show you targeted ads before you click to accept. When you consent in this manner, we and our advertising partners may set advertising cookies on the site you are visiting and on other of our websites, dashboards, and services. We’ll display the banner to you periodically, just in case you change your mind.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, you can find the most relevant contact details in our Privacy Policy.
