ElectionsMCP
Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of ElectionsMCP. By creating an account or using the service you agree to them. Please read section 5 carefully if you intend to upload voter files, donor records or membership lists — the responsibility for that data stays with you.
1. What the service is
ElectionsMCP is a scenario calculator for U.S. elections. It applies your assumptions about swing and turnout on top of published election results and shows you the outcome on a map, at whatever geography you choose. It can be driven by a person in a browser or by an AI agent over the Model Context Protocol.
It is not a forecast, a projection, or a prediction. Numbers the product shows you are the arithmetic consequence of inputs you or your team supplied. Where we display official results we say so and name the source; where we lack data we say that too, rather than estimating. Do not present our output as a forecast, and do not rely on it as one.
Parts of the service are marked beta. Beta features may change or be withdrawn.
2. Your account
You must be able to form a binding contract to use the service. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for the people you invite into your workspace. Sign-in is by one-time email link — keep access to your email secure, and tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
3. Acceptable use
Do not use the service to break the law, to infringe someone's rights, or to attack the platform or other customers. Specifically, do not:
- upload data you do not have the right to upload, or use data in a way its licence forbids;
- attempt to reach another customer's workspace, campaign or data;
- probe, scan or load-test the service without our written permission;
- present modelled output as official results, certified returns, or a forecast;
- use the service to harass, intimidate or unlawfully target any person.
We may suspend an account that is causing harm to the platform or to other customers, and will tell you why.
4. Your content
Everything you create or upload stays yours. You grant us only the licence we need to run the service for you — to store, process, transmit and display your content to you and to the people you have given access. We do not sell your content, use it to train models, or use it to improve the product for anyone else.
5. Data you bring — voter files, donor records, membership lists
This is the section that matters if you import third-party data. You warrant that you have the right to upload every dataset you bring, and that our processing of it on your behalf is permitted by whatever licence, contract or law governs it.
Commercial voter files, donor databases and similar products are typically licensed on terms that restrict who may hold and access them. Those terms are between you and your provider. Before you upload such data, it is your responsibility to confirm that your licence permits a hosted service to process it on your behalf, and to obtain any consent or notification your provider requires.
You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from data you upload without the right to do so, or from your use of data in breach of the terms it came with.
For our part: we process your imported data only to provide the service to you, we scope it to your workspace and to the campaign it belongs to, and we delete it when you ask. Our security page describes the controls, and our privacy policy describes the vendors involved.
6. Plans, payment and trials
Paid plans are billed in advance through Stripe on the interval shown at checkout. Where a free trial is offered, its length is stated before you subscribe, and the plan converts to paid at the end of it unless you cancel first.
You can cancel at any time from your account. Cancellation stops the next renewal; it does not refund the period already paid for, and your workspace stays available until the end of it. We may change prices, and will give notice before a change affects an existing subscription.
Entitlements — how many campaigns or seats a plan includes — are shown in the product and enforced by it.
7. Our data and intellectual property
The software, the interface, and our compilations of public election data remain ours. Underlying official results are public records, and third-party datasets remain the property of their providers on their own terms. You may share and publish maps and reports you produce, and we ask that they carry the attribution the product generates — which includes the "not a forecast" framing and the as-of date.
8. Availability
We aim to keep the service running and to be candid when it is not, but we do not promise uninterrupted availability, and we do not currently offer a contractual uptime commitment. We may change or discontinue features; if we discontinue something you depend on, we will give reasonable notice and a way to export your work.
9. Disclaimers
The service is provided "as is". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that modelled output is accurate, complete or predictive of any election result — it is a calculation on assumptions you supplied.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, neither party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue or data. Our total liability arising out of these terms is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
11. Termination
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that materially breaches these terms, ordinarily after notice and an opportunity to fix the problem. On termination you may export your content for a reasonable period, after which we delete it as described in the privacy policy.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. Material changes will be notified to account holders by email and reflected in the date above. If you keep using the service after a change takes effect, you accept it.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts located in California will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from them.
