1. About these terms
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the Basay Parish Youth Council (BPYC) website and member system operated for the parish youth ministry of San Nicolas de Tolentino Parish in Basay, Negros Oriental. The system supports public information, membership administration, events, attendance, volunteering, committees, meetings, tasks, documents, galleries, fundraising records, notifications, and related youth-ministry activities.
By creating an account or using a protected feature, you agree to follow these terms and the policies linked in the website footer. If you are a minor, your parent or legal guardian should review these terms with you and provide consent where required.
2. Appropriate use
Use the system only for lawful parish, youth-ministry, community, and personal participation purposes. You must not:
- impersonate another person or provide information you know is materially false;
- attempt to access another person's account, private record, receipt, document, or restricted administrative function;
- probe, disrupt, overload, reverse engineer, or bypass the website's security or access controls;
- upload malware, unlawful material, harassment, threats, sexual content, or content that endangers or exploits a child or vulnerable person;
- scrape personal information, send spam, or use member details for unauthorized solicitation, campaigning, surveillance, or commercial activity; or
- publish another person's private information, image, or story without appropriate authority or consent.
3. Accounts and credentials
Provide accurate registration information, keep your password and device secure, and notify BPYC promptly if you believe your account has been compromised. Accounts are individual and may not be shared. Google sign-in is optional when available and remains subject to Google's own terms.
BPYC may verify, correct, restrict, suspend, or deactivate an account to protect members, enforce safeguarding requirements, address inactivity or inaccurate records, comply with law, or preserve the integrity of parish operations. Administrative permissions are granted by role and may be changed or withdrawn.
4. Youth participation and safeguarding
Some events, activities, media uses, or volunteer roles may require approval or recorded consent from a parent or legal guardian. A registration or volunteer signup does not override capacity limits, safety requirements, parish instructions, or the need for approval. QR credentials and member cards are personal identifiers; do not copy, lend, publish, or misuse them.
Online tools do not replace the supervision, emergency procedures, pastoral judgment, or safeguarding responsibilities of authorized adults. For an immediate safety threat, contact local emergency services and responsible parish leadership instead of relying on the website.
5. Content and media
You retain any rights you hold in content you submit. By intentionally submitting a photo, document, caption, message, or similar material for an authorized BPYC purpose, you permit BPYC to store, reproduce, resize, display, and distribute it only as reasonably necessary for that purpose and according to its selected visibility. You confirm that you have authority to submit it and that required consent has been obtained.
BPYC may correct metadata, restrict visibility, or remove content that is inaccurate, unsafe, unlawful, infringes rights, violates these terms, or is no longer appropriate. Public galleries and officer profiles may be shared outside the signed-in member area; private and member-only material must not be republished without permission.
6. Events, records, and communications
Event listings may change because of weather, pastoral direction, capacity, safety, or other circumstances. Registration, check-in, attendance, volunteer, meeting, task, consent, and notification records are administrative records and must not be manipulated or used to misrepresent participation.
Messages sent through the system may include service notices, verification messages, event information, safeguarding reminders, and administrative communications. Keep your contact information current.
7. Fundraising
The website may publish fundraising campaigns and accept the submission of payment or donation proof. BPYC does not process payment-card details through this website. Payment occurs through the method stated for the campaign, and a submitted proof remains subject to review. Submission does not by itself confirm verification or issuance of an official acknowledgment.
Questions about an amount, duplicate payment, correction, acknowledgment, or possible refund must be raised promptly with BPYC. Resolution may depend on the payment provider, campaign purpose, funds already committed, and applicable law or parish policy.
8. Third-party services
The system may depend on hosting, email, Google sign-in, Google Drive, web-font, or other infrastructure providers. Their services may be unavailable or governed by separate terms and privacy notices. A link to another service is not an endorsement of all content found there.
9. Availability and responsibility
BPYC works to keep information accurate and the system secure, but the service is provided for ministry administration on an "as available" basis. Maintenance, connectivity failures, third-party outages, human error, and security incidents may interrupt access. Verify urgent schedules, safety instructions, payment details, and official decisions with an authorized BPYC or parish representative.
To the extent permitted by Philippine law, BPYC and its authorized volunteers and representatives are not responsible for indirect or consequential loss resulting from reliance on unavailable, incomplete, or outdated website information. Nothing in these terms excludes responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.
10. Privacy, changes, and governing law
The Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled. BPYC may update these terms when the system, ministry practices, or legal requirements change. Material updates will be reflected by the date shown on this page.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Concerns should first be sent through the BPYC contact details shown on this website so the council can seek a fair and pastoral resolution.
