Intellectual Property

CampaignBase Intellectual Property

The Platform, including its software, design, features, and content created by CampaignBase, is owned by CampaignBase and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Platform without our express written permission.

Your Content

You retain ownership of all content you create or upload to the Platform, including campaign materials, contact lists, and custom content. By using the Platform, you grant CampaignBase a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the Platform’s services to you.

AI-Generated Content

Content generated by our AI features in response to your prompts is provided for your campaign’s use. You are responsible for reviewing all AI-generated content before use. CampaignBase makes no representations about the accuracy, completeness, or legal compliance of AI-generated content. You may not use AI-generated content in any way that violates applicable law.

Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Platform, you grant CampaignBase a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose, including improving the Platform.

Campaign Finance Disclaimer

IMPORTANT: CampaignBase is a software platform, not a campaign finance advisor, law firm, or compliance service. The following disclaimers are essential and constitute a material part of these Terms.

Not Legal or Compliance Advice

Nothing in the Platform, including compliance guides, filing requirement information, campaign finance guidance, or AI-generated content, constitutes legal advice or a legal opinion. CampaignBase does not represent that any information provided through the Platform is accurate, complete, or current.

Campaign finance law is complex, varies significantly by jurisdiction, and changes frequently. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your campaign’s fundraising, expenditure, and reporting activities comply with all applicable federal, state, and local campaign finance laws and regulations.

FEC and State Compliance

If you are a candidate for federal office, your campaign is subject to regulation by the Federal Election Commission (FEC). If you are a candidate for state or local office, your campaign is subject to the campaign finance laws of your state and, potentially, your locality. CampaignBase does not guarantee compliance with FEC regulations, state campaign finance laws, or local ordinances.

You should consult a qualified attorney familiar with campaign finance law in your jurisdiction before making fundraising, expenditure, or reporting decisions. CampaignBase expressly disclaims any liability for your campaign’s compliance with applicable campaign finance law.

Employer and Occupation Requirements

Federal law and many state laws require campaigns to collect and report the employer and occupation of donors who contribute above certain thresholds. Our Platform includes features to assist with collecting this information. However, you are solely responsible for ensuring that your campaign collects and reports required donor information accurately and completely.

Consultant Marketplace

Nature of Consulting Services

The CampaignBase Consultant Marketplace connects candidates with independent political consultants. Consultants listed on our marketplace are independent contractors, not employees, agents, or representatives of CampaignBase. CampaignBase does not control, supervise, or direct the work of consultants.

No Endorsement

CampaignBase does not endorse, recommend, or guarantee the quality, accuracy, or suitability of any consultant’s advice or services. Candidates engage consultants at their own risk.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

No attorney-client relationship is created through the Consultant Marketplace or through any consultation conducted through the Platform, regardless of whether a consultant happens to be a licensed attorney. If you need legal advice, you should consult an attorney directly.

Payment and Fees

Consulting sessions are charged at the rate of $100 per one-hour session. CampaignBase retains a platform fee of $25 (25%) per session. The consultant receives $75 (75%) per session. Payments are processed through Stripe.

Cancellation and Refunds

Cancellation policies for consulting sessions are as follows:

• Cancellations made more than 24 hours before the scheduled session: full refund
• Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled session: no refund, though consultant will make an effort to reschedule the session
• Consultant-initiated cancellations: full refund to candidate

Consultant Obligations

Consultants who participate in the Marketplace agree to separate Consultant Terms, which include obligations regarding confidentiality, professional conduct, and compliance with applicable law. CampaignBase reserves the right to remove consultants from the Marketplace for any reason.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CampaignBase disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

CampaignBase does not warrant that:

• The Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
• Any information provided through the Platform is accurate, complete, or current
• AI-generated content is accurate, lawful, or suitable for your use
• The Platform will meet your specific campaign needs or result in any particular election outcome
• Any defects will be corrected

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CampaignBase and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Platform, even if CampaignBase has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall CampaignBase’s total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to CampaignBase in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CampaignBase and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with:

• Your use of the Platform
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any applicable law, including campaign finance law
• Your use of voter data in violation of applicable state law
• Any content you upload to or create through the Platform
• Your campaign’s activities and operations
• Your interactions with consultants through the Consultant Marketplace
