Terms of Service
Effective2026-08-09Version1.0
1.Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Project Euthyna, Inc., governing your use of projecteuthyna.com and any related sites, applications, and services we operate.
- Service
- projecteuthyna.com and every site, application, and service we operate that links to these Terms.
- Project Euthyna
- Project Euthyna, Inc., the operator of the Service. Also “we” and “us”.
- Record
- the structured legislative data we publish, drawn from official government sources.
By accessing or using the Service, or by signing in, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
2.Who may use the Service
You may use the Service if you are at least 13 years old and able to form a binding contract. If you are between 13 and the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
You may not use the Service if we have previously terminated your access.
3.Your account
3.13.1 Creating an account
Some features require an account. You create one by signing in through a third-party identity provider we support. We do not issue passwords.
You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account. Keep your identity-provider credentials secure, and tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
3.23.2 Closing your account
You may stop using the Service at any time. You can delete your account from the account menu; doing so removes your name, your email address, and your district. Our Privacy Policy explains what we delete and when.
4.What the Service is
The Service organizes the public record of government — measures, votes, members, committees, and nominations — drawn from official primary sources, and offers tools to help you see and act on it. It has three surfaces:
- The Record
- a neutral, comprehensive presentation of the public record of a Congress.
- Your representatives
- a personalized view of the officials who represent you, with publicly available contact information.
- The Feed
- timely items relevant to you, with tools to act on them.
We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.
5.Accuracy and the official record
5.15.1 We are not the official record
We take care to reproduce the public record faithfully and to keep it current, but the Service is not the official record. Source data may be delayed, incomplete, or in error; our processing may introduce errors of its own.
For any purpose where accuracy matters — legal, journalistic, financial, or official — consult the authoritative government source directly. We link to it wherever we can.
If you believe something in the Record is wrong, tell us. We would rather hear from you than have the error stand.
5.25.2 Our own material is not advice
Where we explain, summarize, characterize, or contextualize the record, that material is ours and is labeled as ours. It is offered for general information only. IT IS NOT LEGAL, FINANCIAL, ELECTORAL, OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.
5.35.3 No government affiliation
The Service is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Congress, the Library of Congress, the U.S. Census Bureau, or any other government body. References to government sources do not imply their endorsement of us.
6.Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service to break the law, or to help anyone else do so.
- Harass, threaten, defame, or impersonate any person, including any public official, or use contact information obtained through the Service to do so.
- Use contact information obtained through the Service for bulk unsolicited messaging, commercial solicitation, or any purpose other than communicating with officials as a member of the public.
- Access the Service by automated means (scraping, crawling, harvesting) except as permitted in 7, or in a way that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
- Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measure, except as permitted under 12.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of any part of the Service, except to the extent that restriction is unenforceable where you live.
- Misrepresent the Service's content — including presenting our material as official, or presenting altered material as ours.
7.Content and intellectual property
7.17.1 Government material
Much of what the Service presents is the work of the United States government and is not subject to copyright in the United States. We claim no rights in it.
7.27.2 Third-party material
Map data is provided by OpenStreetMap contributors under the Open Database License, by Protomaps, and by the U.S. Census Bureau. Use of that material is subject to the licenses of those providers, and attribution requirements must be preserved.
7.37.3 The Record — yours to reuse
We put work into structuring the Record, but we don't think the public record of government should be locked up by whoever organizes it. You may copy, republish, and build on the Record for any purpose, including commercially. We ask only that you say where it came from, and that you don't present it as something other than the public record.
If you're building something with it and the shape we publish it in doesn't suit you, tell us. We'd rather make it usable than have you scrape it.
7.47.4 Our editorial material — share it, don't alter it
Our editorial material — the explanations, summaries, characterizations, Feed posts, and the framing we put around the Record — is ours, and it is separate from the Record itself. You may share and republish it, in whole or in part, for any purpose, provided you attribute it to Project Euthyna, link to the original where the medium allows, and don't alter its meaning.
That last condition isn't about control of our prose. We are non-partisan, and editorial material republished under our name in altered form can make us appear to have taken a position we didn't take. Quote us, excerpt us, and disagree with us as sharply as you like — just don't put words in our mouth.
Nothing here narrows fair use, or any other right you already have under copyright law.
7.57.5 Design, software, and brand
The Service's design, software, and brand — including our name, emblem, and wordmark — are owned by us and reserved. 7.3 and 7.4 don't grant any right to use them, and nothing in these Terms lets you present your work as ours or as endorsed by us.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service.
7.67.6 Feedback
If you send us ideas or suggestions, you grant us an unrestricted, royalty-free, perpetual right to use them, with no obligation to you.
8.Third-party services and links
The Service links to and relies on services we don't control — government websites, identity providers, mapping providers, and officials' own contact channels. We are not responsible for their content, availability, practices, or terms. Your use of them is governed by their own agreements.
9.Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why, and what we do with it. It is part of these Terms.
10.Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time if you violate these Terms, if we reasonably believe your use creates risk or legal exposure for us or others, or if we discontinue the Service.
You may stop using the Service at any time. Clauses 5, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16 survive termination.
11.Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that any content — including any representation of the public record — is accurate, complete, or current.
Some jurisdictions don't allow the exclusion of certain warranties; those exclusions may not apply to you.
12.Security research
We welcome good-faith security research. If you believe you've found a vulnerability, report it to security@projecteuthyna.com and give us a reasonable opportunity to fix it before disclosing it publicly. We will not pursue legal action against researchers who act in good faith, avoid privacy violations and service degradation, and do not access, modify, or retain data belonging to others.
13.Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER WE NOR OUR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AGENTS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF — OR INABILITY TO USE — THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY RELIANCE ON ITS CONTENT.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
These limits apply even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages, and even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations; they apply to you only to the extent permitted.
14.Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of the rights of any third party.
15.Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we'll give notice on the Service at least 30 days before it takes effect. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the change. If you don't accept, stop using the Service and delete your account.
Every version of these Terms is listed in the history at the end of this page.
16.Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you and we consent to personal jurisdiction there.
There is no arbitration clause in these Terms, and no waiver of your right to bring or join a class action. If you have a dispute with us, you keep every option the law gives you. A site that asks public officials to answer for what they do shouldn't quietly exempt itself from being answered to.
Nothing here prevents either of us from seeking injunctive relief, or you from bringing a claim in small claims court.
17.General
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets — but only to a party that agrees in writing to be bound by these Terms and by the Privacy Policy as they stand at the time of the transfer. See Privacy Policy 5.4, which binds a successor to the same commitments about your information.
