Who is responsible for what.

Last updated 22 August 2026. Using this site means you accept what follows.

What J217 is

J217 publishes listings of activities submitted by churches and faith-based organizations. That is the whole service. J217 does not organize, plan, host, staff, supervise, fund, or run any activity listed here, and is not a party to anything that happens at one.

The hosting organization is responsible for its own activity

Every listing names the organization hosting it. That organization is solely responsible for the activity: for its safety, its supervision, its staffing, its insurance, its compliance with the law, and for the accuracy of what it submitted. If you have a question about an activity, ask them, not us.

A listing is not an endorsement

Hosting organizations affirm a statement of belief when they submit, and that affirmation is the only thing J217 checks. It is taken at their word and not independently investigated. Beyond it, J217 does not screen or vouch for any organization, its leadership, its practices, or the people who show up to its activities. Nothing here is a background check, a safety inspection, or an insurance verification, and a listing is not a guarantee about anyone.

You take part at your own risk

Activities listed here can involve physical work, tools, ladders, vehicles, food handling, contact with the public, and other real risks of injury, illness, loss, or property damage. You decide whether to attend, and you accept those risks yourself. Use the same judgment you would use for any invitation from a stranger, satisfy yourself that an activity is safe and suitable before going, and do not rely on this site to have done that for you.

Children

If a young person attends an activity, the parent or guardian is responsible for deciding whether it is appropriate and for arranging supervision with the hosting organization directly. J217 arranges nothing and supervises no one.

What the review does, and what it cannot do

Every submission is read by a person before it goes live. Listings that are incomplete, unclear, or out of place get questioned or turned down, and that check is taken seriously. But it is a check on the listing, not on the activity. Reading a description cannot confirm that the details are true, that the activity will happen, that it will run the way it was written, or that the organization behind it is what it says it is.

Details come from whoever submitted them. Dates move, activities get cancelled, addresses change, and mistakes get typed. So J217 makes no promise that any listing is accurate, current, or complete, and you should confirm with the hosting organization before you travel.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, J217 and anyone operating it are not liable for any injury, death, illness, loss, theft, property damage, or other harm arising out of an activity listed on this site, out of your dealings with any organization or person you find through it, or out of any error, omission, interruption, or unavailability of the site itself. The site and everything on it are provided as they are, with no warranties of any kind.

If you post a listing

By submitting an activity you confirm that you are authorized to post on behalf of the organization named, that the details are accurate, that the organization is responsible for the activity, and that you will tell us if it is cancelled or changed. You agree to cover J217 for any claim arising from your listing or your activity.

Reporting or removing a listing

If something on the board looks wrong, out of date, or not right, tell us at hello@j217.org and we will look into it. J217 can decline, edit, or remove any listing, at any time, for any reason, with no obligation to explain. To take down your own listing, email from the address you submitted with.

Changes

These terms can change. The date at the top changes with them, and continuing to use the site means accepting the current version.
