All The Perfect Love Story materials — including the website and any documents, templates, guides, presentations, or other resources made available through this site (collectively, "the Materials") — are the original creative work of Nick Ledoux, dba Discipling the One, based in Opelika, Alabama (the "Owner").
All Materials are protected by United States copyright law and applicable international treaties. © 2026 Nick Ledoux, dba Discipling the One. All rights reserved.
The Owner grants to churches, ministries, small groups, schools, and individual believers ("You") a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, revocable license to use the Materials for non-commercial ministry, formation, and educational purposes, subject to the terms below.
You may, without seeking additional permission:
You may not, without the prior written permission of the Owner:
When using the Materials publicly — including in printed handouts, slide presentations, translations, or any other reproduction — you must preserve the original attribution and copyright notice. Standard attribution is:
The Owner reserves the right to revoke this license, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these Terms. If your license is revoked, you must promptly cease use of the Materials and destroy or delete any copies in your possession or control. Materials already incorporated into past sermons, recorded teachings, or printed handouts in good faith may remain in those existing forms.
The Owner expressly reserves the right, at any time and at the Owner's sole discretion, to modify the license terms governing future access to and use of the Materials, including but not limited to introducing licensing fees, subscription requirements, tiered access models, paid versions, premium materials, or commercial licensing structures. Such changes will apply prospectively to new downloads and new uses of the Materials. Materials lawfully downloaded under these Terms in their current form may continue to be used in accordance with these Terms as they existed at the time of download, subject to the Revocation provisions in Section 6.
The version of the Materials available at theperfectlovestory.org is the authoritative version. The Owner may update, revise, or replace the Materials at any time. You should refer to theperfectlovestory.org to ensure you are using the current authoritative version. The Owner is not responsible for outdated, modified, or third-party copies of the Materials, and reliance on any such copy is at your own risk.
The Materials are provided "as is" and without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The Owner does not warrant that the Materials are free from errors, suitable for any particular purpose, or that their use will produce any specific spiritual, pastoral, or organizational outcome.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Owner shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with the use or inability to use the Materials, even if the Owner has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
The Owner anticipates forming Discipling the One LLC (or a similarly named entity) as a holding entity for ownership of the Materials and related intellectual property, and may subsequently license the Materials to a nonprofit ministry entity for operational ministry use. By using the Materials, You acknowledge and agree that the Owner's rights under these Terms — including ownership of the Materials, the right to enforce these Terms, the right to grant or revoke licenses, and any related copyright or trademark rights — may be assigned, transferred, sublicensed, or otherwise conveyed to such entities or successor organizations at any time, without further notice to You. All rights and obligations under these Terms will continue uninterrupted following any such transfer or assignment, and the receiving entity will succeed to all of the Owner's rights and authorities described herein.
All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved by the Owner. No rights are granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Lee County, Alabama, and You consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
The Owner may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Materials after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
