Terms of Service

Last updated: September 16, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Arizona Ballot Guide (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Site. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance of any changes.

2. Informational Purposes Only

The Arizona Ballot Guide is provided solely for informational and educational purposes. The Site aggregates publicly available information about candidates for the 2026 Arizona Primary Election, including biographical information, stated policy positions, issue stances, and legislative voting records.

Nothing on this Site constitutes legal, political, or professional advice. You should independently verify all information before relying on it for any purpose, including making voting decisions.

3. No Endorsement

The Arizona Ballot Guide is a nonpartisan resource. The inclusion of any candidate, party, or political position on this Site does not constitute an endorsement of that candidate, party, or position by the Site operators. The Site does not rank, score, recommend, or express a preference for any candidate or party.

4. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information on this Site is accurate, current, and complete. However, we make no warranties or representations as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any information. Candidate information, issue stances, and voting records may contain errors, may become outdated, or may reflect one interpretation of a candidate's positions.

Issue stances sourced from third parties such as ontheissues.org are presented as reported and may not reflect a candidate's current positions. Always verify information through the linked primary sources and candidate-provided materials before forming conclusions.

5. Third-Party Links

This Site contains links to external websites, including candidate campaign sites, government records, and news sources. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party websites. Links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement of the linked site or its content.

6. Prohibited Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations
  • Attempt to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to the Site or its systems
  • Scrape, copy, or republish Site content for commercial purposes without permission
  • Use the Site to spread misinformation or conduct political disinformation campaigns

7. User Submissions

The Site allows you to submit feedback, correction requests, and related content through our Feedback and Request a Correction forms ("Submissions"). By making a Submission, you represent that you have the right to submit the content, that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and that it does not infringe any third party's rights or violate any law.

You grant the Site operators a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, edit, and incorporate your Submission — in whole or in part — into the Site's content for the purpose of correcting, updating, or improving the information we publish. We are under no obligation to act on, publish, respond to, or retain any Submission, and we may decline, edit, or remove a Submission at our sole discretion.

You agree to indemnify and hold the Site operators harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of a Submission that violates these Terms or the rights of a third party. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle the personal information included in a Submission.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

This Site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Site operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of or inability to use the Site, including but not limited to damages arising from reliance on information provided on the Site.

10. Intellectual Property

The design, structure, and original content of this Site are the property of the Site operators. Public records, legislative votes, and government documents referenced herein are in the public domain. Candidate photographs and campaign materials are the property of their respective owners and are used for informational purposes under fair use principles.

11. Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

12. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

Except where prohibited by law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site — other than a claim that qualifies for small claims court — will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, and will be heard by a single arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in Maricopa County, Arizona, or another location we mutually agree on, and may be conducted remotely where the AAA's rules permit.

You and the Site operators each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action, collective action, or representative proceeding. Any arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis only.

This arbitration agreement does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidentiality rights. If any part of this section is found unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect, except that if the class-action waiver is found unenforceable, this entire arbitration section will not apply to that dispute.
