Terms of Service

1. The Deal

VoteOut (“VoteOut,” “we,” “us”) is a civic-information website operated by Bryan Weaver, a Texas sole proprietor, at voteouteveryone.com. By using the site or buying anything from us, you (“you,” the “user”) agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

2. What VoteOut Is

VoteOut is an independent political-speech project. Its purpose is to help voters identify which candidates on their ballot are incumbents so they can make informed decisions about whether to replace them. The site’s viewpoint is anti-incumbent: it advocates the defeat of incumbents from all parties equally.

VoteOut is not affiliated with any candidate, campaign, political party, political action committee, or government body. VoteOut does not coordinate with any candidate or committee. VoteOut does not endorse any specific challenger.

3. Information Accuracy — As-Is, No Warranties

Ballot information is sourced from public APIs (Google Civic Information, OpenFEC, OpenStates) and static fallback data maintained by VoteOut. We do our best to keep the data accurate but cannot guarantee it is complete, current, or error-free.

Always verify your ballot with official sources before voting — typically your Secretary of State, County Clerk, or the Election Assistance Commission. VoteOut is a reference tool, not an official ballot.

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

4. Postcard Sales

When postcard sales are available, you may purchase a physical postcard listing the incumbents on your ballot. The postcard is mailed only to the address you provide as the buyer. Delivery is fulfilled by a third-party print-and-mail provider (currently Lob) and typically arrives within 5–10 business days of order confirmation.

All sales are final once the order has been submitted to the print provider. If your postcard does not arrive within 15 business days, or arrives damaged, contact support@voteouteveryone.com and we will reprint and resend at no additional charge.

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not see or store your payment card number.

5. Not a Campaign Contribution

The price of a VoteOut postcard is the price of a printed-and- mailed product. It is not a campaign contribution to any candidate, campaign, or political committee, and it is not tax-deductible. You will not receive a campaign finance receipt.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the site to: (a) submit addresses you are not authorized to use; (b) scrape, copy, or republish ballot data at scale without permission; (c) attempt to compromise the security of the site; (d) impersonate any person or entity; or (e) use the site for any purpose that violates applicable law.

VoteOut may suspend or block access for users who violate these rules.

7. Intellectual Property & Open Source

VoteOut’s source code is released under the MIT license. Site content (writing, design, brand) remains the property of Bryan Weaver. You may link to the site freely. You may not copy site content to build a competing product without permission.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, VoteOut’s total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the site or a postcard purchase is limited to the amount you paid VoteOut in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $50, whichever is greater. VoteOut is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify VoteOut against claims arising from your misuse of the site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law.

10. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, unless a consumer-protection statute in your state of residence provides otherwise.

11. Changes to These Terms

VoteOut may update these Terms over time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
