1. PAPPY™ Books, Systems & Study Tools

The rules set forth in this section apply universally to all intellectual property utilizing any PAPPY™ System. These Systems are proprietary pedagogical tools and spiritual development frameworks. By utilizing any PAPPY™ System your organization agrees to adhere to the following mandatory compliance standards:

1.1. INTRODUCTION. Subject to the global definitions established above, Armor of Oak grants to the Organization utilizing The System a limited license to use the The System in its entirety and its proprietary intellectual property Core Content as written and Trademarks, as defined within this Agreement, strictly as set forth within this section of this Agreement. This license facilitates the Organization’s localized integration of The System to be delivered exclusively to its immediate Attendees, subject to the strict structural and operational distinctions outlined within this section, and within this Agreement.

1.2. RIGHTS INCLUDED. Depending on the System licensed, the System may include one or more scripts, manuscripts, manuscript outlines, bulletin templates, graphic designs, images, and/or other copyrighted Core Content and Trademarks of the System, logos and brands related to Armor of Oak proprietary Systems. This license does not permit any use of other Armor of Oak Licensed Material, Trademarks, logos, brands or copyrighted Core Content other than that included in the System which is strictly related to The System.

1.3. LIMITED LICENSE. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Armor of Oak grants to the Organization a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license during the Term to add personal insights, commentary or illustrations during the live oral local delivery of The System, without textually changing any part of the Licensed Material, subject to the mandatory compliance standards set forth within the Terms of Stewardship and this Agreement, and to reproduce and display the Trademarks (in accordance with Trademark usage guidelines communicated by Armor of Oak from time to time) only as reasonably necessary to utilize and promote the System. The original Licensed Material must remain, and be delivered, fully intact, without textual changes, edits, or alterations.

1.4. PASTORAL FLEXIBILITY AND PERSONAL COMMENTARY. The internal staff preacher or teacher may offer their own comments, personal insights, or illustrations during the live oral local delivery of the Licensed Material, without textually altering, contradicting, replacing, or changing any part of the Licensed Material. The original Licensed Material must remain and be delivered fully intact, without textual changes, edits, or alterations.

1.5. NO ALTERATION OR REBRANDING. The Core acronyms, definitions, and designated stages of development must be utilized exactly as written by the author. The Organization is strictly prohibited from altering, rearranging, skipping, or substituting any component of any PAPPY™ or MY PAPPY™ Framework or System. In essence, none of the PAPPY™ Systems may be altered, revised, abbreviated, or changed in any way, shape, or form.

1.6. MAINTAINING SYSTEM DISTINCTION. The Organization must, at all times, maintain the clear operational distinction between ALL PAPPY™ and MY PAPPY™ Systems and framework tools in all ministry settings. Each named System must be taught as its own distinct, standalone method. Each named System must not be blended, combined, or presented interchangeably. Each named System can be used simultaneously as complementary tools, but cannot be physically or textually fused, merged, consolidated, utilized to create derivative works, or be used or manipulated into any ulterior form, into a new hybrid asset or custom framework document.

1.7. STRICT STRUCTURAL MEDIA BAN FOR PAPPY™. The Organization is strictly prohibited from creating, designing, displaying, or projecting any visual media, slide decks, sanctuary screen graphics, or digital backdrops, or software driven assets that contain any Core Content, acronym breakdown, color-coded rule, structural chart, workflow step, or key mechanical portion of ANY PAPPY™ or MY PAPPY™ System. The visual display or screen projection of these Systems within the Organization is strictly and unconditionally limited to the text display or verbal mentioning of the official, approved Trademarked name of the System (e.g., "Today we are practicing the PAPPY™ Bible Study Method", or “John 3:16 studied via the PAPPY™ Master System”, or “Learn how to pray the PAPPY™ Prayer way this Sunday”). Physical paper photocopies of the System in its entirety are permitted to be distributed solely to the Organizations in-person Attendees, staff and volunteers. Any recording, broadcasting, filming, or streaming of the Organization’s presentation or teaching of the System by Attendees, staff, volunteers, or any other party involved is strictly prohibited. The Organization is permitted to design localized visual media, slide decks, or screen graphics to accompany live local ministry delivery provided they do not violate this Agreement.

1.8. FRAMEWORK PRESERVATION IN MEDIA. While the Organization is permitted, and  encouraged, to create its own original visual media, slide decks, sanctuary screens, or graphics, to fit their local church aesthetic, including raw unannotated Bible passages, the Organization’s original visual media, including scripture text media, must at all times adhere to the Media Ban For PAPPY™, and this Agreement. Biblical text projected on screen must never be in an annotated form using any part of the PAPPY™ System. No digital replication, parsing, or structural outline of the framework’s inner mechanics may be projected on any screen under any circumstances.

1.9. CONGREGATIONAL STUDY TOOLS. The PAPPY™ Habit Tracker System, the PAPPY™ Prayer Guide, the PAPPY™ Basic Bible Study, the MY PAPPY™ Master Bible Study, and the MY PAPPY™ Code of Many Colors System are intentionally designed for full congregational engagement. These specific framework tools and unique study sheets may be widely distributed to your immediate local Attendees to build a shared study culture.

1.10. NO DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION OR DISPLAY. No part of any PAPPY™ System, framework, acronym breakdown, color guide, structural chart, study layout, key component, or teachings whether verbal, written, or digitally designed may be posted, uploaded, displayed, shared, or made accessible on the internet or social media in any way, shape, or form except as authorized.

1.11. AUTHORIZED ONLINE REFERENCES. Organizations and Attendees are legally permitted to mention the name of the Systems online and to share their personal experiences or encourage study habits. Permitted online statements are limited to naming references only, such as: "We are learning how to use the PAPPY™ Bible study System," or "Use the MY PAPPY™ Code of Many Colors System to mark your Bible."

1.12. PROTECTION OF SYSTEM SECRETS. The Organization and its Attendees are strictly prohibited from explaining, revealing, teaching, unauthorized disclosure, dissemination, or unauthorized exploitation of the proprietary methodologies, trade secrets, and confidential intellectual property, including but not limited to operational keys or internal mechanics of any of the PAPPY™ Systems whether verbal, written, digital, or online and whether though social media or any website. If outside individuals or digital viewers inquire about the System mechanics, the Organization and its Attendees must explicitly direct those inquiries to www.ArmorOfOak.org or www.MorselsMinistryOfChrist.org so that they may purchase their own legal user license.

1.13. PERFORMANCE, RECORDING, AND STREAMING RESTRICTIONS. The Organization’s distribution of any PAPPY™ System may be performed solely on the Organization’s premises and may be promoted solely to the Organization’s Attendees, on the Organization’s premises, and on the Organization’s corporate website according to the rules of this Agreement. The organization may stream said recordings from its website, its YouTube channel, or other third-party websites (i.e., Facebook, Instagram, etc.) provided such delivery does not violate the terms of this Agreement. The Organization is prohibited from selling audio, video, or transcriptional recordings of its presentation of any Armor of Oak PAPPY™ System, whether to internal Organization members, or externally to the public or other outside organizations. The Organization agrees not to post Licensed Material, as outlined in this Agreement, without full attribution to Armor of Oak. The Organization agrees not to use any Trademark or Core Content in, on, or associated with any for-sale products, apparel, merchandise, paid curriculum, or services. All use of the Trademarks inures to the benefit of Armor of Oak. Because the internal mechanics, structural stages, and acronym breakdowns of the PAPPY™ and MY PAPPY™ Systems are proprietary trade secrets, the broadcasting, live-streaming, or digital transmission of any teaching session, sermon, or class detailing how to use the System mechanics is strictly prohibited. While the Organization may stream standard sermons, any deep-dive teaching or instructional session focused on the System's operational keys must remain strictly confidential and offline. Furthermore, the Organization is contractually obligated to establish, announce, and strictly enforce a "No Recording" policy during these specific sessions. To satisfy the requirement of taking active, reasonable measures, the Organization must, at a minimum: (1) require the speaker or leader to deliver an explicit verbal announcement prior to the start of the teaching session stating that all video, audio, and photographic recording of the session or materials is strictly prohibited, (2) prominently print a "No Recording/No Cameras Allowed" notice in the physical and digital bulletin or handout distributed for that session, and (3) place visible signage at the main entrance doors of the meeting room or sanctuary indicating the restriction. The Organization must explicitly instruct all staff, leaders, volunteers, and Attendees that the use of cell phones, tablets, cameras, or any other audio/visual recording devices to record the teaching is strictly prohibited. The Organization must take reasonable, active measures to ensure no video, audio, or photographic fragments explaining or showcasing the System mechanics are recorded or uploaded to social media, public websites, shared cloud folders, or personal channels by its staff, associates, members, or Attendees.
