Terms of Service

1. The Service

Votumi provides political campaign management tools, including a candidate-facing dashboard, a publicly accessible campaign page, supporter sign-up, QR code generation, AI-assisted content drafting, and analytics (collectively, "Campaign Tools"). The Service is intended for political candidates, campaign managers, and their authorized staff in jurisdictions where digital campaign tools are permitted.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time with reasonable notice where practicable.

2. Accounts and Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By creating an account you represent that:

• All registration information you provide is accurate and kept up to date.
• You are authorized to act on behalf of any organization or campaign for which you use the Service.
• Your use of the Service will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including federal and state campaign finance laws.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.

3. Subscription, Trial, and Billing

Votumi offers a free trial period as specified at sign-up. After the trial ends your account will be suspended unless you subscribe to a paid plan. Subscription fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) as selected. All fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as stated in our refund policy.

We use Stripe, Inc. as our payment processor. By providing payment information you authorize Stripe to charge the applicable fees. You agree to Stripe's terms of service in addition to these Terms.

We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days' advance notice. Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right.
• Collect, store, or process supporter personal data in a manner inconsistent with these Terms or applicable privacy law.
• Spread demonstrably false or defamatory content about opponents, public officials, or private individuals.
• Send unsolicited commercial messages (spam) to supporters or other third parties.
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features of the Service.
• Use the Service for any campaign or cause that promotes violence, discrimination, or illegal activity.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its related systems.

Votumi reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, without refund.

5. Campaign Data and Content

"Campaign Content" means all text, images, videos, and other materials you upload, input, or generate through the Service. You retain ownership of your Campaign Content and grant Votumi a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, display, and process your Campaign Content solely as necessary to provide the Service.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of all Campaign Content. Votumi does not review Campaign Content for compliance with campaign finance laws and makes no representation that your use of the Service satisfies any legal disclosure, reporting, or disclaimer requirement.

AI-assisted content generated through the Service is provided as a drafting aid. You are responsible for reviewing, editing, and ensuring compliance of any AI-generated content before publishing.

6. Supporter Data

When voters sign up to support a campaign through your public campaign page, their personal data (name, email, postal code, volunteer interest) is collected on your behalf. As a campaign operator you act as the data controller for supporter data. You agree to:

• Use supporter data only for lawful campaign communications and compliance purposes.
• Provide supporters with clear notice of how their data will be used.
• Honor opt-out and deletion requests in accordance with applicable law.
• Not sell, rent, or share supporter data with third parties outside your campaign.

Votumi processes supporter data on your behalf as a data processor under the terms of our Data Processing Agreement, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.

7. Intellectual Property

The Votumi name, logo, platform software, design, and all related intellectual property are owned by Votumi, Inc. and protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to use Votumi's intellectual property except as expressly set out herein.

You retain all rights in your own Campaign Content. If you provide feedback or suggestions about the Service, you grant Votumi the right to use such feedback without restriction or compensation.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with certain third-party services, including:

• Clerk — for authentication and identity management.
• Stripe — for payment processing.
• Third-party AI model providers — for AI content generation features.

These third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Votumi is not responsible for the practices or availability of third-party services.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. VOTUMI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

VOTUMI DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL, FINANCIAL, OR CAMPAIGN COMPLIANCE ADVICE. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING YOUR CAMPAIGN COMPLIES WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VOTUMI, INC. AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL VOTUMI'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID VOTUMI IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $100.

11. Termination

You may cancel your account at any time through the dashboard Settings page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Votumi may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you breach these Terms or if required by law, with or without notice.

Upon termination, your access to the Service will cease and your Campaign Content may be deleted after a 30-day grace period. You are responsible for exporting any data you wish to retain before termination.

12. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for violations of intellectual property rights.

You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration relating to the Service.

13. Changes to These Terms
