We last updated our Terms of Service on August 30, 2023.

Please note: Uses of “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to SermonKit.

These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you”) and SermonKit, concerning your access to and use of the SermonKit website (“website”) and the services we offer (“services”).

We may amend these Terms of Service at any time by posting the amended terms on our website. We may or may not post notices on the homepage of our website when such changes occur.

Content Disclaimer

Postings on SermonKit are made at such times as we determine at its discretion. You should not assume that the information contained on our website has been updated or otherwise contains current information. SermonKit periodically reviews past postings to determine whether they remain accurate and information contained in such postings may have been superseded. THE INFORMATION AND MATERIALS IN OUR WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED FOR YOUR REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NOTICES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN. THESE MATERIALS ARE NOT GUARANTEED OR REPRESENTED TO BE COMPLETE, CORRECT, OR UP TO DATE. THESE MATERIALS MAY BE CHANGED FROM TIME TO TIME WITHOUT NOTICE.

Our Services

SermonKit provides resources (“illustrations,” “applications,” “introductions”) and a tool (“sermon builder”, “sermon building tool”) to assist its users with the sermon writing process. As long as you maintain your SermonKit subscription (“subscription”), you will have access to our resources and sermon building tool. Unless stated otherwise, SermonKit illustrations and application are property of SermonKit. SermonKit resources acquired through a subscription may be presented in part or in whole, modified, broadcasted (live-streamed), and re-broadcasted (uploaded on a video platform, e.g., YouTube). SermonKit allows continued usage of resources after a subscription has expired or has been canceled. Expiration or cancelation of a subscription will disable the acquisition of new or existing resources and will limit the features of the sermon builder. Sermons created in the sermon builder remain accessible after the expiration or cancelation of a subscription in read-only format.

SermonKit forbids redistribution (e.g., sharing or posting online in whole) or republishing (e.g., using SermonKit resources in a book without modification) SermonKit resources unless a derivative work is created that no longer resembles the original resource.

SermonKit extends ownership of sermons created in the sermon building tool to you, as long as they contain original content and do not solely consist of SermonKit resources.

SermonKit may suspend your account with or without notice if you are found to be violating these Terms of Service.

In pastor speak: Use and preach SermonKit illustrations and applications to aid you in fulfilling Matthew 28:16-20. Just don’t copy/paste them into your book. We trust the conviction of the Holy Spirit in this area.

Refunds for Services

Our services are non-refundable, without exception. If the Annual plan free trial does not suit your needs, we encourage you to cancel the trial on your account page. If you have an issue with your account, you may contact us at: support@sermonkit.com
