Terms of Use

1. Purpose of the Site

The Site is operated for informational and civic purposes. It presents the principles, platform, and perspective of Demo-Public — a civic movement dedicated to practical, constitutional, evidence-based governance. The Site is not a commercial storefront, does not process payments, and does not operate a membership or subscription program.

Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, financial, or professional advice. Content is provided for general informational and civic-engagement purposes only.

2. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms. You agree not to:

• Use the Site in any way that violates applicable federal, state, or local law or regulation.
• Submit false, misleading, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable content through the contact form or any other interactive feature.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its underlying infrastructure.
• Use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or harvest content from the Site in a manner that places unreasonable load on our servers or circumvents technical measures.
• Impersonate Demo-Public or any individual associated with it.

3. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, and the overall design — is the property of Demo-Public or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable United States copyright and intellectual property laws.

You may view, print, and share content from the Site for personal, non-commercial, and civic-engagement purposes, provided you attribute Demo-Public and do not alter the content.

4. User-Submitted Messages

The Site includes a contact form through which you may submit messages or comments to us. By submitting a message, you represent that its content is truthful, lawful, and does not infringe the rights of any third party.

Messages submitted through the contact form are received privately by Demo-Public and are not published on the Site. We reserve the right not to respond to any submission and to disregard submissions that are abusive, harassing, or otherwise inappropriate.

By submitting a message, you authorize Demo-Public to review and use the information you provide for the limited purposes of responding to you, evaluating your feedback, and supporting the internal operation and development of the movement. Submission of a message does not transfer ownership of your original content to Demo-Public.

5. External Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only. We do not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any linked external site. Accessing external links is at your own risk.

6. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep the content on the Site accurate and current. However, we do not warrant that all information on the Site is complete, accurate, or up to date at all times. Content reflects the views and positions of Demo-Public as of the date it was published and may not reflect subsequent developments. We reserve the right to correct, update, or remove content at any time without notice.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Demo-Public and its organizers, volunteers, representatives, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

9. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by applicable laws of the United States and any applicable state or local laws. Any dispute relating to these Terms or use of the Site will be addressed in a court of competent jurisdiction as determined by applicable law.
