Terms of Use
Effective date: October 19, 2026
These Terms of Use apply to HeartbeatChristianTelevision.com and the Heartbeat Christian Television (“HCTV,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) Roku application (together, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the Services.
Using the website and Roku application
You may use the Services for lawful, personal, noncommercial viewing and related purposes. Use by children should be supervised by a parent or guardian. You are responsible for your internet connection, compatible equipment, and any charges imposed by your internet or device provider. Roku’s own terms also apply to your use of its platform.
Streaming video content
HCTV provides access to available Christian programming, including video on demand. Streaming does not transfer ownership of a program or grant permission to download, copy, rebroadcast, publicly exhibit, distribute, or commercially exploit it unless separately authorized by the rights holder or permitted by law. Do not bypass access controls or technical protections.
Program descriptions and availability may change. Statements and opinions expressed by individual speakers, programmers, or guests are their own and do not necessarily represent HCTV. Content is offered for general information, inspiration, and entertainment and is not a substitute for professional medical, legal, financial, or other advice.
Intellectual property
The HCTV name, branding, website design, application, and original materials are owned by HCTV or its licensors. Programs, music, images, and other materials remain the property of their respective rights holders. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Contact us regarding permissions or suspected infringement and identify the material and your rights or concerns.
Acceptable use
Do not use the Services to violate laws or others’ rights; submit unlawful, fraudulent, threatening, or harmful material; introduce malware; interfere with service operation; attempt unauthorized access; impersonate others; or collect information about users without permission. We may restrict access when reasonably necessary to address misuse, security risks, or legal requirements.
Submissions and programmer agreements
Provide accurate information when contacting HCTV or submitting a programmer application, and submit only materials you are authorized to share. An application does not guarantee acceptance or distribution. Programmer participation, fees, and content licensing are governed by separate programmer terms and agreements; these viewer terms do not replace those agreements.
Third-party services
The Services may use Roku, Streamable, other video hosts, embedded players, analytics providers, and external links. Their services are subject to their own terms and privacy policies. HCTV does not control third-party platforms, their policies, or their continued availability. Our Privacy Policy explains information handling in connection with the Services.
Service and content availability
We may add, modify, suspend, or remove content or features, including for licensing, technical, security, or operational reasons. We do not guarantee that any program, live stream, feature, or device support will remain available. Playback quality depends on factors including your connection, device, and third-party delivery systems. Interruptions and maintenance may occur.
Disclaimers
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Services and content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service, the accuracy or completeness of all content, or that the Services will be free of harmful components.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, HCTV, its operators, and its licensors and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or lost profits, data, or business opportunities arising from use of or inability to use the Services. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limits consumer rights that cannot be waived. Where a limitation is not permitted, liability is limited only to the extent the law allows.
Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms and will post the updated version here with a revised effective date. Changes apply prospectively. Continued use after updated terms take effect constitutes acceptance, subject to any additional notice or consent required by law.
