Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 23, 2025

1. Agreement to Terms

By creating an account or using the Vote42 service (the "Service"), provided by [Your Company Name] ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.

2. User Accounts and Roles

Our service provides for two types of users:

  • Campaign Partners: These are organizations (e.g., lobbying firms, advocacy groups) that subscribe to our paid plans. Campaign Partners are responsible for all activity under their account, including payment of fees and the management of their invited Advocates.
  • Advocates: These are individuals, often volunteers, who are invited by a Campaign Partner to participate in a specific Advocacy Campaign. Advocate accounts are free but may have limited functionality outside of the campaigns to which they are invited.

You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating your account and to keep this information up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activities that occur under your account.

3. The Service

Vote42 provides a platform for legislative intelligence and advocacy management. A significant portion of the data provided through the Service, such as bill status, legislative profiles, and voting records, is aggregated from publicly available government sources. While we strive for accuracy, we are not responsible for errors or omissions in this underlying public data.

4. User-Generated Content

You (or your organization) retain ownership of all the content you upload or create within the Service, including documents, notes, discussion threads, and questionnaire responses ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, and process this content solely for the purpose of operating, providing, and improving the Service. This includes using your User Content to power our AI Search (RAG) and reporting features for your organization's exclusive use. We will not use your specific User Content to train general AI models for other customers.

5. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to misuse the Service or help anyone else to do so. This includes refraining from probing or testing system vulnerabilities, interfering with the network, uploading unlawful content, or violating any applicable laws or regulations, including lobbying and ethics laws.

6. Subscriptions and Payment

Paid plans are subscribed to by Campaign Partners on a recurring basis. All fees are as described on our Pricing page. Campaign Partners are responsible for timely payment. We reserve the right to change our pricing or suspend service for non-payment.

7. Termination

You are free to stop using our Services at any time. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service with notice to you if you are in breach of these Terms, or if your use would cause a real risk of harm to us or other users. Upon termination, we will provide a reasonable opportunity to export your User Content before it is permanently deleted.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS," AT YOUR OWN RISK, WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. **You explicitly acknowledge that the Service is a BETA version, is provided for testing purposes only, and may contain errors, inaccuracies, or result in data loss.** WE ALSO DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL [Your Company Name] BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

11. Changes to Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on our website. If a revision is material, we will notify you. By continuing to use the Service after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.
