Terms of Service
Welcome to Sin Forgiver
These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and Syntax Circus LLC ("we," "us," and "our") governing your use of the Sin Forgiver app, website, and related services. Our address is 7533 S Center View Ct Ste N, West Jordan, UT 84084, United States.
Sin Forgiver is parody entertainment. It is not clergy, religious counseling, therapy, legal advice, or a real-world spiritual service. Every certificate, message, and forgiveness reference is fictional, comedic, and for entertainment only.
Who can use Sin Forgiver
You must be at least 13 years old to use Sin Forgiver. Before anything else, the app and website check that you are 13 or older and ask you to agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. On supported phones and tablets the app may use the age information Apple or Google Play provides for your account; otherwise it asks you. If Apple or Google Play reports that an age check, age verification, or a parent's or guardian's approval is required, you cannot use the app or make purchases in it until that is resolved with them. If you are not 13 or older, do not use Sin Forgiver. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the service only with permission from a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms for you. Do not use Sin Forgiver where doing so would violate applicable law.
Your account and access
Some features work through device-based access, while others require sign-in through a supported provider. Keep control of your device and sign-in methods, use accurate information where it is required, and let us know if you believe your access has been compromised. We may limit or suspend access that we reasonably believe is fraudulent, abusive, or inconsistent with these Terms.
Our record of your agreement
When you confirm your age and accept these Terms, we keep a record of that acceptance so we can show it later if needed. The record includes the version of the Terms and Privacy Policy you accepted, a confirmation that you are 13 or older, the date and time, your platform and app version, and a one-way (hashed) form of a random identifier for your installation. It does not include your birthdate, your IP address, or your browser or device user-agent. We keep it for three years from acceptance and then delete it. You can ask us to delete it sooner (see the Privacy Policy); if you do, we will ask you to confirm your age and acceptance again before you continue to use the service.
Purchases, certificates, and refunds
Sin Forgiver offers paid digital entertainment items, including novelty forgiveness certificates and related in-app content. A purchase is not a purchase of religious, legal, therapeutic, or spiritual services. Delivery may depend on your platform, network, account, and service availability. Prices are shown in the app or on the website before you buy.
The applicable app store or payment provider processes purchases, cancellations, and refunds under its own policies. Refunds, if any, are governed solely by that provider's policy, and we do not promise refunds beyond what that provider allows. You may buy the same item more than once. Certificates and related content are for personal entertainment use only: do not resell them or present them as genuine religious credentials, legal documents, or official records.
Accusations and content you submit
Sin Forgiver lets you create a certificate that names another person and an alleged "sin," with optional details such as an incident date, a place, and a name. This is a joke feature. By using it you agree that:
- what you submit is clearly comedic and is not a statement of fact, and you will not present it as one;
- you have the right to submit it and you will not use it to harass, threaten, bully, defame, or expose anyone, to make accusations of crimes, abuse, or other serious wrongdoing, or to reveal anyone's private information (such as home addresses, phone numbers, health, or sexual information);
- you will not submit information about a child, or about a person who has asked not to be named;
- the other person's name and details you provide are about a third party, and you are responsible for them.
Sin Forgiver does not contact the person you name. If you choose to share the certificate or its link with them, you do that yourself and you are responsible for how you do it.
You keep ownership of what you submit. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, and adapt it as needed to operate the service, create your certificate, and show it to the person who receives the link. We may review, hide, or remove content and restrict or end access for any reason, including to enforce these Terms or to respond to a complaint.
Removal requests for people named in an accusation
If someone has named you in an accusation, you can ask us to remove it, without making a purchase or creating an account. Use the removal request page at https://www.sinforgiver.com/removal-request, use the report options on the accusation page, or email privacy@sinforgiver.com. Please tell us which accusation (for example, by sending the link) and how to reach you. We review requests as promptly as we reasonably can, and we generally remove or disable an accusation when the person it names asks us to. We may keep a limited record of the request and our action for safety, abuse-prevention, and legal reasons.
Copyright complaints
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. To send a notice, email dmca@syntaxcircus.com or write to Copyright Agent, Syntax Circus LLC, 7533 S Center View Ct Ste N, West Jordan, UT 84084, United States. Our designated agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. A notice must include: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the material and where we can find it; your contact information; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.
If we remove material because of a notice, we will tell the person who submitted it, who may send a counter-notice that includes the information the DMCA requires. We may restore the material if the original complainant does not tell us within 10 to 14 business days that it has filed a court action. We will end the access of users who we determine are repeat infringers, in appropriate circumstances. Knowingly sending a false notice or counter-notice may expose you to liability.
Use the service responsibly
Do not use Sin Forgiver for unlawful, fraudulent, or abusive purposes. Do not interfere with the service or another person's access, bypass payment, entitlement, or authentication systems, impersonate someone else, or suggest that Sin Forgiver provides genuine religious authority or guaranteed outcomes. Do not scrape the service or use automated means to create accusations or purchases.
Changes, availability, and ending access
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features, catalog items, prices, certificate formats, or supported platforms. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, permanent feature availability, or error-free operation.
You may stop using Sin Forgiver at any time. You can request account closure through the account-closure path in the app or on the website, or through our public data-deletion page. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access if we believe you have violated these Terms or created a legal, security, or product risk.
Privacy and intellectual property
Your use of Sin Forgiver is also subject to the Privacy Policy. Sin Forgiver's software, branding, design, certificates, artwork, and other content (other than content you submit) are owned by or licensed to us and protected by law. We give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the service for personal, non-commercial entertainment.
Disclaimers and limits on liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sin Forgiver is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability. We are not responsible for content submitted by users.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Syntax Circus LLC and its suppliers are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, use, goodwill, or business opportunity arising from the service. Our total liability for a claim will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the service during the 12 months before the claim or US$100. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as Sin Forgiver changes. We will post the updated version and effective date here. When we change the Terms or the Privacy Policy in a material way, the app will ask you to accept the new version at your next launch; if you do not accept, you cannot continue to use the app.
Governing law and contact
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Utah, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
