Terms of Use

Last updated: 8/17/2026

Welcome. These terms govern your use of manypartsministries.com and everything on it — the charism assessment, our courses and studies, our communities, and our shop — all operated by Favoring Brave, LLC, doing business as Many Parts Ministries ("we," "us," "our"). By using the site or creating an account, you agree to these terms.

The short version

• Whether you purchase the assessment yourself or your parish, diocese, or school provides your access, taking it commits you to nothing — no contract with the organization, no obligation to serve, no strings.
• Your assessment results describe the charisms you are most likely to have. They're a starting point for discernment, not a verdict — and never a substitute for professional, medical, or vocational advice.
• What you buy is a license to use our materials for yourself (or, for organizational purchases, for your community) — not ownership, and not permission to redistribute.
• Be kind in our communities. We can remove content or accounts that aren't.
• Questions: [email protected].

1. Your account

To take the assessment or access courses, you create a free account with accurate information. Keep your password to yourself; you're responsible for activity on your account. One account per person — an account belongs to a human being, not an organization or a shared inbox.

2. The assessment

2.1 Getting access, and what it costs. There are two ways to take the charism assessment:

• Purchasing it yourself, at the price shown at checkout.
• Through an organization — a parish, diocese, school, or ministry that invites you using a link or code it provides. In that case there is typically no charge to you: your checkout shows $0 and asks for no payment information, because the organization covers the assessments it invites people to take (see §3.4).

Creating the account itself is always free, in either path.

2.2 No obligation, either way. However you receive access, taking the assessment creates no contract, obligation, or legal relationship between you and any parish, diocese, school, or other organization — including one that invited you. It creates no obligation to volunteer, join anything, or accept any invitation, and no entitlement to any role.

2.3 What results are. The assessment identifies the charisms you are most likely to have, based on your responses. Results are a starting point for prayerful discernment in community — not a diagnosis, not a psychological evaluation, not a determination of aptitude, and not professional advice of any kind. We make no guarantee about any outcome from using the assessment or acting on results.

2.4 What results may not be used for. Organizations receiving results through our dashboards agree not to use them to make employment decisions, to exclude anyone from ministry or participation, or as the basis of any automated decision about a person.

2.5 Who sees results. Visibility of results is governed by our [Privacy Policy] — read §4 there; it's the part that matters most.

3. Purchases, subscriptions, and billing

3.1 Prices and payment. Prices are shown at checkout and processed by our payment processor Stripe. Payment plans are available on assessment purchases of $1,000 or more.

3.2 Subscriptions (memberships, dashboards, and similar) renew per the term shown at purchase until canceled.

3.3 Seats. Organizational subscriptions are purchased for a stated number of seats. Seats are for the people your organization designates; adding seats after purchase is handled by us on request in three business days or less.

3.4 Usage-billed assessments. Some organizational arrangements bill assessments after an agreed window closes, at the actual completed count, at the rate schedule stated in your quote or agreement. Those arrangements are governed by their own written terms, which control over these Terms where they conflict.

3.5 Refunds. Because our products are digital and delivered immediately, our refund policy is simple:

• Courses, studies, programs, and digital downloads: full refund within 7 days of purchase, as long as the purchase hasn't been substantially used — for programs, that means no assessment codes redeemed; for courses and downloads, no more than limited initial access. Once a program's codes are redeemed or materials are substantially used, the purchase is non-refundable.
• Individual assessments: refundable any time before you begin. Once you've completed the assessment, the service has been delivered and it isn't refundable — but if something went wrong (a technical failure, a duplicate purchase), email us and we'll make it right.
• Subscriptions (dashboards, memberships): cancel any time; your access runs to the end of the paid period, with no partial-period refunds. An unwanted renewal charge is refundable within 7 days if the subscription hasn't been used since it renewed.
• Organizational usage billing: assessments billed after your window closes reflect actual completed counts, so there is nothing to refund — but final-count questions are welcome within 14 days of the invoice.
• Physical products: if something arrives damaged or defective, contact us within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund it. We are also able to receive returns within 14 days, as long as it is in new condition and any assessment codes are unused.
• Payment plans: refund eligibility applies to the purchase as a whole, on the same windows above — not per installment.

To request a refund, email [email protected]; we respond within 3 business days, and approved refunds go to the original payment method. If your situation doesn't fit these rules, write to us anyway — we always strive to resolve situations fairly.

3.6 Codes and coupons. Assessment codes, Member Codes, and coupon links provided to an organization are for that organization's own community. Don't publish them publicly or share them beyond your community as you may end up paying for use you did not intend. Assessment codes redeemed by people who had the link but you did not intend to take the assessment or are not eligible for refund once they have begun.

4. Your license to our materials

When you purchase or are granted access to our materials — the assessment, results reports, courses, studies, books, curricula, videos, PDFs — you get a personal, non-transferable license to use them for yourself and, where the product says so, your household or the group it was purchased for. Our materials are protected by copyright and remain ours. You may not resell, redistribute, republish, or share access or files beyond what your license covers, and you may not use our materials to build a competing product or train an AI system.

Site and organizational licenses. Curricula and program materials sold at a site or organizational level may be used across that site or organization as described at purchase — and not beyond it (for example, a parish site license doesn't cover the whole diocese).

Printing for personal and ministry use of materials designed for it (worksheets, one-sheets, participant handouts) is welcome within the licensed group.

5. Communities and things you post

Our member communities exist so people can discern and serve together. By posting, you agree to:

• Be charitable. No harassment, hate, or personal attacks; disagree like a Christian.
• No spam, solicitation, or promotion of outside products or services without our permission. These will be deleted and repeated offenses will result in being banned from the community.
• Don't post others' personal information, or content you don't have the right to share.
• Stay reasonably on mission — these are ministry spaces, not general forums.

You keep ownership of what you write, and you give us a license to display it within the community and operate the service. We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these terms, with or without notice.

6. Organizational accounts and dashboards

If you administer an Assessment Results Dashboard for a parish, diocese, school, or other organization:

• You confirm you're authorized by that organization to hold that access.
• You agree to use results only for the organization's ministry purposes, consistent with §2.4 and our Privacy Policy, and to honor removal requests routed through us.
• Administrator access is personal — don't share your login. Use your admin codes to add administrators. Additional codes are available for purchase if you have exhausted yours.
• Organizations with a separate written agreement (a quote, services agreement, or program terms) are governed by that agreement where it conflicts with these Terms.

7. Children and teens

The site and adult assessment are for users 18 and older; the teen assessment is designed for ages 14–20, and users under 18 need parent/guardian consent. No use by children under 13. 

8. Acceptable use

Don't break the site, probe or scrape it, misrepresent who you are, take the assessment as someone else, interfere with anyone else's use, or use the site for anything unlawful.

9. Third-party services

The site links to and embeds third-party services (payment processing, video, podcast players, scheduling). Their terms govern your use of them; we're not responsible for third-party services.

10. Our theological and editorial voice

Our materials reflect our understanding of charisms and discernment within fidelity to the Catholic tradition. The list of charisms we assess is our curated framework, offered to serve the Church. Nothing on the site is an official act or statement of any diocese, the USCCB, or the Holy See.

11. Disclaimers

The site and materials are provided "as is" and "as available."

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

12.1 No indirect damages. Neither Favoring Brave, LLC, nor its members, managers, employees, contractors, or agents, will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, or the cost of substitute services — arising out of or relating to the site, the assessment, our materials, or these terms, even if we have been advised such damages are possible.

12.2 Cap. Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the site, the assessment, our materials, or these terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts paid to us — by you, or by the organization that provided your access — for the product or service giving rise to the claim during the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) $100. 

12.3 Discernment decisions. Assessment results are a starting point for discernment (§2.3), not advice. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for decisions any person or organization makes — or declines to make — in reliance on assessment results, including decisions about ministry, service, volunteering, or participation.

12.4 What this section does not do. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain of the exclusions above; in those jurisdictions, they apply to the fullest extent permitted.

12.5 Basis of the bargain. These limits reflect how a $9 assessment and modest ministry subscriptions can exist at all — the pricing assumes them, and they survive even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. 

13. Indemnification

13.1 Individuals. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Favoring Brave, LLC and its members, managers, employees, contractors, and agents from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from: (a) your material breach of these terms; (b) your unlawful use of the site; or (c) content you post, where the claim alleges it infringes another's rights or was posted without authority.

13.2 Organizational administrators and organizations. If you hold dashboard or administrator access on behalf of a parish, diocese, school, or other organization, that organization additionally agrees to indemnify us against third-party claims arising from: (a) the organization's use or disclosure of assessment results, including any use contrary to §2.4, §6, or applicable law; (b) the organization's own communications, programs, and events run in connection with our materials; and (c) the organization's compliance with its own policies, including safe-environment policies. 

13.3 Process. We will notify you promptly of any claim subject to indemnification, and you may control the defense with counsel we reasonably approve; we may participate at our own expense, and no settlement that admits fault on our behalf or imposes obligations on us may be made without our written consent.

14. Disputes and governing law

14.1 Talk to us first. Before any formal step, write to [email protected] describing the problem and what would make it right, and give us 30 days to resolve it with you. Most things end here, and we mean for them to.

14.2 Christian mediation. We are a ministry, and we believe Scripture calls Christians to resolve disputes with one another before turning to the courts (1 Corinthians 6:1–7; Matthew 18:15–16). If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, both parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve it through Christian mediation before pursuing any other remedy, with a neutral, mutually agreed mediator or mediation ministry under the Institute for Christian Conciliation's Rules of Procedure, or a mutually agreed Catholic conciliation process. Costs for mediation will be shared equally by both parties. 

14.3 If mediation does not resolve it. The next step is binding arbitration.

14.4 Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

14.5 Exceptions. Nothing in this section prevents either party from bringing a qualifying claim in small claims court, or from seeking emergency injunctive relief to protect intellectual property or the security of the platform. 

15. Termination

You can close your account any time (see the Privacy Policy for what happens to data). We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Sections that by their nature survive (licenses, disclaimers, liability, disputes) survive termination.

16. Changes to these terms

We'll update the "Last updated" date when these terms change, and flag significant changes on the site or by email. Continued use after changes means acceptance.
