Welcome to the websites nathanraun.com and nathanraunassociation.com (collectively, the “Website”), operated by the Nathan Raun Association (“we,” “us,” or “our”), an association based in Lincoln, Nebraska.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Website and all content, features, and services we provide. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website.

1. Our Mission and the Website

The Website is dedicated to the life and legacy of Nathan Raun. It provides biographical information, historical materials, devotional resources, images, videos, prayers, and other content intended to honor his memory and support the formal recognition of his sanctity. All content is provided for informational, educational, devotional, and inspirational purposes.

2. Intellectual Property and Content Protection

All content on the Website—including but not limited to text, photographs, images, videos, audio recordings, graphics, logos, prayers, writings, layouts, and design—is the exclusive property of the Nathan Raun Association or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view and use the content solely for your personal, non-commercial devotional or educational purposes. This license does not include any right to:

  • Copy, reproduce, duplicate, or distribute any content (in whole or in part)

  • Publicly display, perform, or republish content on any other website, social media platform, print publication, or medium

Any unauthorized use of the content constitutes a violation of these Terms and may also violate copyright and other laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Nathan Raun Association.

3. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Notice

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe any content on the Website infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to the address below that complies with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c). We will respond expeditiously to valid notices.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access immediately, without notice, for any violation of these Terms.

5. User-Generated Content

If the Website ever allows submissions (e.g., prayer requests, testimonials, or stories), any content you submit becomes the property of the Nathan Raun Association. You grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, and display your submission in connection with the cause for canonization and the Website.

6. Disclaimers

The Website and all content are provided “as is” and “as available” without any warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the information is complete, accurate, reliable, or error-free. Devotional materials are not intended as a substitute for professional medical, legal, or spiritual advice.

We make no representations regarding the likelihood or timeline of Nathan Raun’s canonization; that process is under the sole authority of the Catholic Church.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Nathan Raun Association, its officers, directors, employees, volunteers, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Website or its content.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Nathan Raun Association and its affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the Website, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.

9. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Website at any time, with or without cause or notice. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive.

10. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Lancaster County, Nebraska. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. We will post the revised version on the Website with a new “Last Updated” date. Your continued use after the changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

12. Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Nathan Raun Association regarding the Website and supersede any prior understandings.

Thank you for honoring the memory of Nathan Raun.
