Terms of use

Last updated: 12 September 2026

What this site is

The Jersey Christian Portal (“we”, “the Portal”) is a free community noticeboard, on this website and in the Jersey Christian app. These terms cover both. We connect people; we are not a party to any arrangement, contract or transaction between a member and anyone who engages them.

No endorsement, no vetting

Listings are published in good faith by members who belong to a Jersey church, and are screened automatically for unsuitable content. That screening is a basic safety measure only. It is not a background check, qualification check, insurance check or endorsement — by the church, the pastor or Jersey Christian Portal. You engage any listed person entirely at your own risk and should make your own checks (references, insurance, DBS or equivalent where relevant, especially for work involving children, vulnerable people or access to your home).

Members’ responsibilities

• You must be 18 or over to join.
• Describe what you offer honestly and keep your listing current.
• Hold any licences, registrations or insurance your trade requires.
• Only list under a church you genuinely belong to.
• No unlawful, misleading or offensive content.
• No abuse, harassment, hate, threats, sexual content or scams. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour: it is removed, and the account responsible may be closed.

Anyone can report a post, and signed-in members can hide everything posted by another member. Every report goes to the site administrator.

We may edit, hide or remove any listing or notice, and suspend or close any account, at our discretion — including when a church leader or a member of the public raises a concern.

What you post stays yours

You keep ownership of everything you post — your words, your logo, your photographs. By posting it you give us permission to show it on this website and in the Jersey Christian Portal apps, and to resize or crop images so they display properly. That permission lasts only as long as the post does: remove it, or close your account, and we stop using it.

Only post what is yours to share. If a photograph, logo or wording belongs to someone else, make sure you have their permission first.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jersey Christian Portal and those who run it accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from use of this site or from any dealings between members and third parties.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Jersey, Channel Islands.
