If you do not agree with any part of this Disclaimer, you must not use our Website. This Disclaimer is a legally binding agreement between you and CanByFirst.

1. General Disclaimer

The information provided on the CanByFirst website, https://canbyfirst.com, is intended for general informational purposes only. While we, CanByFirst, strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability with respect to the Website or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the Website for any purpose. Any reliance you place on such information is therefore strictly at your own risk.

CanByFirst, operating from Canby First Baptist Church, 1905 N Maple, Canby, OR 97013-9161, provides this Website “as is” and “as available,” without any warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected. We also do not warrant that the Website or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components. You understand and agree that your use of the Website is solely at your own discretion and risk, and that you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download or use of any material from the Website.

This general disclaimer applies to all content, materials, and services available through the Website, including but not limited to text, graphics, images, videos, audio, and any user-generated content. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Website (or any part thereof) with or without notice at any time and for any reason. We shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Website.

2. Website Content Accuracy

CanByFirst is committed to making reasonable efforts to present accurate and current information on its Website. However, we do not guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content, data, or materials found on https://canbyfirst.com. The information provided may contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors, and it may not always be the most current information available. For instance, event dates, times, and locations, contact details for specific ministries or individuals, or descriptions of services may change without immediate updates to the Website. Similarly, articles or blog posts reflecting opinions or specific information may become outdated over time.

We expressly disclaim all liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this Website. CanByFirst makes no commitment to update the information on the Website. Any content on the Website may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update such material. It is your responsibility to independently verify any information obtained from the Website before acting upon it. For example, if you plan to attend an event advertised on our Website, we strongly recommend confirming the details through direct contact (e.g., via dhruv@canbyfirst.com or phone) rather than relying solely on the Website content. Your reliance on any information provided by CanByFirst or others appearing on the Website is solely at your own risk. CanByFirst shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on the information provided on the Website.

3. Professional Advice Disclaimers

The content available on the CanByFirst website, including but not limited to articles, blog posts, community resources, spiritual guidance, event information, or general advice, is provided for informational and general guidance purposes only. It is not intended to constitute, and should not be relied upon as, professional advice of any kind. This includes, without limitation, legal advice, medical advice, financial advice, psychological counseling, spiritual counseling, or any other form of professional guidance or expert opinion. For example, an article discussing coping with grief or offering financial stewardship tips is meant to be a general resource, not a substitute for a licensed therapist, financial advisor, or legal counsel.

CanByFirst, its employees, volunteers, or contributors are not engaged in rendering professional services through this Website. We strongly advise you to consult with a qualified and licensed professional in the relevant field for advice tailored to your specific situation. For instance, if you have legal questions, you should seek advice from a qualified attorney; for health concerns, consult a medical doctor; for financial decisions, consult a certified financial planner. Relying on information from this Website without seeking professional advice is done at your own risk.

No pastoral care relationship, professional-client relationship, or any other professional advisory relationship is created by your use of this Website or by any communication you may have with CanByFirst personnel or volunteers through the Website’s contact forms, email, or other online channels. CanByFirst expressly disclaims all liability for any actions taken or not taken based on the content of this Website. By using this Website, you acknowledge and agree that CanByFirst is not responsible for any decisions you make based on the information presented herein.

These external links are provided solely for your convenience and for informational purposes. For example, we might link to a partner organization’s website, a news article relevant to our community, or a social media profile. The inclusion of any link does not necessarily imply a recommendation or endorse the views expressed within them. CanByFirst has no control over the nature, content, and availability of those sites or resources.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall CanByFirst, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, volunteers, agents, licensors, or suppliers be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses (even if CanByFirst has been advised of the possibility of such damages), arising out of or in connection with:

1. The use or inability to use the Website;
2. The cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information, or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or from the Website;
3. Unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data;

7. Any reliance placed by you on the completeness, accuracy, or existence of any advertising, or as a result of any relationship or transaction between you and any advertiser or sponsor whose advertising appears on the Website;
8. Any other matter relating to the Website.

This limitation of liability applies regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise. This limitation also applies even if CanByFirst knew or should have known of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, CanByFirst’s liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law. Your sole and exclusive remedy for any dispute with CanByFirst related to your use of the Website is to discontinue your use of the Website.
