You may use The Civics Project only in compliance with applicable laws and these terms.
You agree not to misuse the service, interfere with its operation, or attempt to access data, systems, or accounts that you are not authorized to use.

Accounts and access
Some features may require an account. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for activities that occur under your account.
If you believe your account has been used without authorization, contact us promptly.
Content and accuracy
We work to make political and legislative information easier to understand, but we do not guarantee that summaries, analyses, or other materials will always be complete, current, or error-free.
You should verify important information against official sources before relying on it for legal, professional, financial, or other high-stakes decisions.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, The Civics Project and its original content, design, branding, and software are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may not reproduce, sell, or commercially exploit our materials except as permitted by law or with our written permission.
Third-party services
Our site may rely on or link to third-party services, including payment, analytics, hosting, and authentication providers.
We are not responsible for third-party websites, products, or policies, and your use of those services may be governed by separate terms.
Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis to the fullest extent permitted by law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Civics Project is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, or business arising from your use of the service.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date.
Your continued use of the service after revised terms are posted means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable in Ontario, without regard to conflict of law principles.
