We can refuse to provide or stop providing all or part of the Service to you (including terminating or disabling your access to Polliticly) immediately to protect our community or services, or if you create risk or legal exposure for us, violate these Terms of Use or our policies, if you repeatedly infringe other people’s intellectual property rights, or where we are permitted or required to do so by law. We can also terminate or change the Service, remove or block content or information shared on our Service, or stop providing all or part of the Service if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate adverse legal or regulatory impacts on us. When you request to delete content or your account, the deletion process will automatically begin no more than 40 days after your request. It may take up to 90 days to delete content after the deletion process begins. While the deletion process for such content is being undertaken, the content is no longer visible to other users, but remains subject to these Terms of Use and our Data Policy. After the content is deleted, it may take us up to another 90 days to remove it from backups and disaster recovery systems. 

• Content will not be deleted within 90 days of the account deletion or content deletion process beginning in the following situations: ○ where your content has been used by others in accordance with this license and they have not deleted it (in which case this license will continue to apply until that content is deleted); or
• where deletion within 90 days is not possible due to technical limitations of our systems, in which case, we will complete the deletion as soon as technically feasible; or ○ where deletion would restrict our ability to:

  • protect the safety and security of our products, systems, and users;
  • comply with a legal obligation, such as the preservation of evidence; or
  • comply with a request of a judicial or administrative authority, law enforcement, or a government agency;
  • in which case, the content will be retained for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it has been retained (the exact duration will vary on a case-by-case basis).
• If you delete or we disable your account, these Terms shall terminate as an agreement between you and us, but this section and the section below called “Our Agreement and What Happens if We Disagree” will still apply even after your account is terminated, disabled, or deleted.

Our Agreement and What Happens if We Disagree 

Our Agreement. 

• If any aspect of this agreement is unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect. 
• Any amendment or waiver to our agreement must be in writing and signed by us. If we fail to enforce any aspect of this agreement, it will not be a waiver. 
• We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. 

Who Has Rights Under this Agreement. 

• Our past, present, and future affiliates and agents, including Polliticly, Inc., can invoke our rights under this agreement in the event they become involved in a dispute. Otherwise, this agreement does not give rights to any third parties. 
• You cannot transfer your rights or obligations under this agreement without our consent. 
• Our rights and obligations can be assigned to others. For example, this could occur if our ownership changes (as in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets) or by law. 

Who Is Responsible if Something Happens. 

• Our Service is provided “as is,” and we can’t guarantee it will be safe and secure or will work perfectly all the time. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ALSO DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We also don’t control what people and others do or say, and we aren’t responsible for their (or your) actions or conduct (whether online or offline) or content (including unlawful or objectionable content). We also aren’t responsible for services and features offered by other people or companies, even if you access them through our Service. 

• Our responsibility for anything that happens on the Service (also called “liability”) is limited as much as the law will allow. If there is an issue with our Service, we can’t know what all the possible impacts might be. You agree that we won’t be responsible (“liable”) for any lost profits, revenues, information, or data, or consequential, special, indirect, exemplary, punitive, or incidental damages arising out of or related to these Terms, even if we know they are possible. This includes when we delete your content, information, or account. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms will not exceed the greater of $10 or the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months. 
• You agree to defend (at our request), indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with these Terms or your use of the Service. You will cooperate as required by us in the defense of any claim. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will not in any event settle any claim without our prior written consent. 

How We Will Handle Disputes. 

• Except as provided below, you and we agree that any cause of action, legal claim, or dispute between you and us arising out of or related to these Terms or Polliticly (“claim(s)”) must be resolved by arbitration on an individual basis. Class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted; you and we may bring a claim only on your own behalf and cannot seek relief that would affect other Polliticly users. If there is a final judicial determination that any particular claim (or a request for particular relief) cannot be arbitrated in accordance with this provision’s limitations, then only that claim (or only that request for relief) may be brought in court. All other claims (or requests for lief) remain subject to this provision. 

• Instead of using arbitration, you or we can bring claims in your local “small claims” court, if the rules of that court will allow it. If you don’t bring your claims in small claims court (or if you or we appeal a small claims court judgment to a court of general jurisdiction), then the claims must be resolved by binding, individual arbitration. The American Arbitration Association will administer all arbitrations under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. You and we expressly waive a trial by jury. 

The following claims don’t have to be arbitrated and may be brought in court: disputes related to intellectual property (like copyrights and trademarks), violations of our Platform Policy, or efforts to interfere with the Service or engage with the Service in unauthorized ways (for example, automated ways). In addition, issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a court to decide. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. You can opt out of this provision within 30 days of the date that you agreed to these Terms. To opt out, you must send your name, residence address, username, email address or phone number you use for your Polliticly account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement, and you must send them here: Polliticly, Inc., ATTN: Polliticly, Inc. 400 Scotia Dr. Apt 206 Hypoluxo, FL 33462 

• Before you commence arbitration of a claim, you must provide us with a written Notice of Dispute that includes your name, residence address, username, email address or phone number you use for your Polliticly account, a detailed description of the dispute, and the relief you seek. Any Notice of Dispute you send to us should be mailed to Polliticly, Inc., ATTN:Polliticly, Inc. 400 Scotia Dr. Apt 206 Hypoluxo, FL 33462. 
• Before we commence arbitration, we will send you a Notice of Dispute to the email address you use with your Polliticly account, or other appropriate means. If we are unable to resolve a dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is received, you or we may commence arbitration.
• We will pay all arbitration filing fees, administration and hearing costs, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration we bring or if your claims seek less than $75,000 and you timely provided us with a Notice of Dispute. For all other claims, the costs and fees of arbitration shall be allocated in accordance with the arbitration provider’s rules, including rules regarding frivolous or improper claims. 
• For any claim that is not arbitrated or resolved in small claims court, you agree that it will be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida or a state court located in Leon County. You also agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim. 
• The laws of the State of Florida, to the extent not preempted by or inconsistent with federal law, will govern these Terms and any claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions. 

Unsolicited Material. 

We always appreciate feedback or other suggestions, but may use them without any restrictions or obligation to compensate you for them, and are under no obligation to keep them confidential. 

Updating These Terms 

We may change our Service and policies, and we may need to make changes to these Terms so that they accurately reflect our Service and policies. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you (for example, through our Service) before we make changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect. Then, if you continue to use the Service, you will be bound by the updated Terms. If you do not want to agree to these or any updated Terms, you can delete the app from the device.

standards. 

• When we have a good-faith belief it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud, unauthorized use of Polliticly, violations of our terms or policies, or other harmful or illegal activity; to protect ourselves (including our rights, property or Polliticly), you or others, including as part of investigations or regulatory inquiries; or to prevent

The Short

Polliticly is a celebration of people through constructive expression and community betterment. You use the app, we sell your data, we give back to local communities across the United States of America. 

The Long 

By using Polliticly, you agree to these guidelines and our Terms of Use. We’re committed to these guidelines and we hope you are too. Not following these boundaries may result in deleted content, disabled accounts, or other restrictions. 

In some cases, we allow content for public awareness which would otherwise go against our Community Guidelines – if it is newsworthy and in the public interest. We do this only after weighing the public interest value against the risk of harm and we look to international human rights standards to make these judgments. 

• Follow the law. 

We have zero tolerance when it comes to sharing sexual content involving minors or threatening to post intimate images of others. Respect other members of the Polliticly community. 

We want to foster a positive, diverse community. We remove content that contains credible threats or hate speech, content that targets private individuals to degrade and/or shame them, personal 

information meant to blackmail or harass someone, and repeated unwanted messages. We do generally allow stronger conversation around people who are featured in the news or have a large public audience due to their profession or chosen activities. 

It’s never OK to encourage violence or attack anyone based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, disabilities, or diseases. When hate speech is being shared to challenge it or to raise awareness, we may allow it. In those instances, we ask that you express your intent clearly. 

Serious threats of violence to public and personal safety aren’t allowed. This includes specific threats of physical harm as well as threats of theft, vandalism, and other financial harm. We carefully review reports of threats and consider many things when determining whether a threat is credible.

• Maintain our supportive environment by not glorifying self-injury. The Polliticly community cares for each other, and is often a place where people facing difficult issues such as eating disorders, cutting, or other kinds of self-injury come together to create awareness or find support. Encouraging or urging people to embrace self-injury is counter to this environment of support, and we’ll remove it or disable accounts if it’s reported to us. We may also remove content identifying victims or survivors of self-injury if the content targets them for attack or humor. 
• Be thoughtful when posting newsworthy events. 

We understand that many people use Polliticly to share important and newsworthy events. Some of these issues can involve graphic images. Because so many different people and age groups use Polliticly, we may remove videos of intense, graphic violence to make sure Polliticly stays appropriate for everyone. 

We understand that people often share this kind of content to condemn, raise awareness or educate. If you do share content for these reasons, we encourage you to caption your photo with a warning about graphic violence. Sharing graphic images for sadistic pleasure or to glorify violence is never allowed. 

Help us keep the community strong: 

• Each of us is an important part of the Polliticly community. If you see something that you think may violate our guidelines, a team that reviews these reports and works as quickly as possible to remove content that doesn’t meet our guidelines. When you complete the report, try to provide as much information as possible, such as links, usernames, and descriptions of the content, so we can find and review it quickly. We may remove entire posts if either the imagery or associated captions violate our guidelines. 
• You may find content you don’t like, but doesn’t violate the Community Guidelines. Keep an open mind to ideas that may conflict with your current beliefs. 
• We may work with law enforcement, including when we believe that there’s risk of physical harm or threat to public safety.
