Terms of Service

Version 2026-10-30

These terms are an agreement between BallotData LLC (“BallotData”, “we”) and the person or organization that buys access to our data (“you”). By checking out you agree to them on behalf of yourself and, if you name one, your organization.

1. What you buy

  1. A purchase gives you access, for its term, to the endorsements data and Ballot API coverage you chose at checkout (by contest or measure, by state, or nationally), delivered as you choose, with updates. The term runs from your payment through December 31, 2027 (Pacific time), or for a purchase made after 2027, through December 31 of the calendar year you bought in.
  2. Coverage means contests and measures on upcoming ballots that we have collected. There is no complete public source of every contest or endorsement, and we don’t promise to cover any particular contest, measure, endorser or jurisdiction.

2. Your license

  1. During your term, you may use the data, copy it within your organization, combine it with other data, and publish or display it in your own products, analyses and reports.
  2. You may not resell, sublicense or redistribute the data itself, in bulk or as a feed or dataset that lets others reconstruct a substantial part of it, or offer it as a competing data product.
  3. Keep API keys, private links and postback secrets confidential; you’re responsible for their use.
  4. You may keep using data you received during your term after it ends, under these same limits, but you receive no further updates.

3. Payment

  1. You pay once, in advance, through Stripe, at the prices on our site at checkout, plus any applicable tax. The price is the same whatever day of the year you buy.
  2. Purchases don’t renew. To keep receiving data after your term ends, buy again.
  3. Payments are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise or we agree in writing. A refunded purchase ends when it’s refunded.
  4. Data is delivered only once your payment has cleared.

4. No service level agreement

We provide no service level agreement. Deliveries, files, the API, the stream and postbacks may be delayed, interrupted or unavailable at any time, including for maintenance, and no credit or refund is due for any delay or outage. Statements that updates “generally” arrive within the hour describe typical performance, not a commitment.

5. No warranty about the data

The data is collected from public sources, including endorsers’ own publications, and is provided “as is” and “as available”. We make no warranty and accept no responsibility for its accuracy, validity, completeness, timeliness or fitness for any purpose. Endorsers may change or withdraw endorsements, and ballots may change, after we collect them. You are responsible for checking the data before relying on it. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from the data or the service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.

7. Your responsibilities

  1. Use the data lawfully, including election, campaign-finance and consumer-protection law.
  2. Don’t misrepresent an endorser’s endorsement or imply that an endorser or BallotData endorses you.
  3. Don’t try to get around coverage limits, rate limits or access controls.

8. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end access that breaks these terms, after notice where practical. Sections 2.4 and 4 to 10 survive.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Changes apply to purchases made after them, or sooner if you agree; we’ll email you about material changes. The version you agreed to is recorded with your purchase.

10. General

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and disputes go to the state or federal courts in San Francisco County, California. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. These terms, and anything we agree in writing, are the whole agreement about your purchase.
