Terms of Service

Last Revision | Aug 26, 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Agreement") govern your access to GoodParty.org and all associated tools and services (the "Platform") provided by Good Party, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Good Party”). By using the Platform, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you don't agree, stop using the Platform.

2. Eligibility

The Platform is available to:

  • Candidates running for U.S. political office as an independent or in a nonpartisan race
  • Sitting U.S. elected officials serving in an independent or nonpartisan capacity
  • Prospective candidates exploring a run (subject to limited access at Good Party's discretion)
  • Team members for any of the above, either paid or volunteer

To use the Platform, you must comply with the terms set forth in Section 3, and have legal authority to act on behalf of your campaign.

Good Party reserves the right to verify eligibility, restrict access, or terminate accounts that don't meet these requirements. Certain features may be unavailable for races with over 100k voters.

3. The Bright Hearted Pledge

By using the Platform, you commit to three principles:

  • Independent: Free from big money and the two major political parties
  • People-Powered: Your campaign serves the people; you raise funds from real, living individuals
  • Anti-Corruption: You serve with integrity, transparency, and accountability

Additionally, you may not use the Platform to promote or encourage hate-speech, intolerance or discrimination or to publish or promote misinformation or intentionally fraudulent claims and allegations. Use of the platform or being listed as candidate does not constitute a political endorsement.

Being registered to vote as a Democrat or Republican does not preclude joining Good Party but any other affiliation may warrant removal at the discretion of Good Party.

Anyone seeking to use the Platform must be free of affiliation from one of the major political parties for at least one election cycle or one year (whichever is shorter).

4. Permitted Use

Good Party grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the Platform for lawful campaign purposes during your subscription term. Campaigns must be created by the candidate or elected official — not by campaign managers, volunteers, or staff — and you are responsible for ensuring anyone you authorize to use the Platform complies with this Agreement.

You may not use the Platform to circumvent eligibility requirements, send unsolicited or deceptive communications, engage in hate speech or discriminatory conduct, or interfere with Platform security or operations. You are responsible for informing yourself of, and complying with, legal restrictions specific to the use of registered voter data (see Section 8).

5. Account Security

You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of any suspected unauthorized access. Good Party is not liable for losses from unauthorized use of your account.

6. Subscriptions and Fees

Subscriptions renew automatically each month. You can cancel at any time in your account settings. Cancellation takes effect immediately.

All fees are non-refundable, including for partial months, unused features, or accidental renewals, except as required by law.

Unused promotional texts or discounts cannot be transferred or redeemed for cash. All offers may be changed or withdrawn at any time.

Legacy plan features and pricing may differ from current offerings. Good Party reserves the right to discontinue or update legacy plans.

7. Text Campaigns and Outreach

To use outreach tools including text messaging, candidates must complete 10DLC registration through Good Party's process. To support this and related compliance services, Good Party will create and host a website using your name, likeness, and publicly available campaign details (“Candidate Website”). By using the Platform, you grant Good Party a limited license to create and maintain your Candidate Website.

Scheduled text campaigns and polls may not be delivered at the exact scheduled time. Changes or cancellations must be submitted at least 48 business hours in advance. In the event of a confirmed delivery error, no monetary refund will be issued; Good Party may, at its discretion, offer a credit toward a future campaign.

8. Voter File Access

Voter file access is a subscription feature. You must be a filed candidate or sitting elected official and complete Good Party's verification process before voter or constituent data becomes available. Each new office or race selected might require its own verification.

Voter data must be used solely for lawful campaign purposes and may not be resold or shared with any third party. Good Party may restrict or revoke access based on its verification process, compliance requirements, or suspected pledge violations.

You may not use voter or constituent data, in whole or in part, to: (a) establish an individual's eligibility for credit or insurance; (b) underwrite individual insurance; (c) evaluate an individual for employment, promotion, reassignment, or retention as an employee; (d) determine an individual's eligibility for a license or other benefit granted by a governmental authority; or (e) solicit survivors of deceased persons.

Voter and constituent data are sourced from public records and third-party data providers. See Section 19 for the applicable data disclaimer.

Users must comply with removal or deletion notices from Good Party within 30 days.

9. Consulting Services

Where consulting services are covered by a separate service agreement, they are provided subject to this Agreement. The license you grant Good Party under Section 11 extends to campaign materials used in delivering those services. Good Party grants you a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use consulting outputs in connection with the Platform during your subscription term.

10. Your Name and Likeness

By using the Platform, you grant Good Party a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use your name, likeness, public statements, and campaign information to list your candidacy on GoodParty.org, promote your candidacy on Good Party's social channels, and include your information in marketing and educational materials.

This license is for Platform promotion only and does not constitute a political endorsement. You may terminate this license at any time by written notice to us; termination may result in removal from the Platform. Terminating this license removes your likeness from Platform-facing promotional content going forward, but does not affect the separate license granted to Good Party under Section 11 over your underlying campaign data and materials.

11. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of your campaign data and materials. You grant Good Party a limited license to use that data to provide and improve the Platform.

Good Party retains all rights to the Platform, its technologies, and related content. Nothing in this Agreement transfers those rights to you. Good Party may collect and use anonymized, aggregated usage data to improve the Platform.

12. AI Powered Features

Good Party uses artificial intelligence to power features including but not limited to tools for campaign planning, electoral governance and outreach tools. By using these features, you acknowledge and agree that:

(a) Input processing. Content you provide may be processed by AI systems, including third-party AI providers, to deliver Platform functionality. Good Party takes reasonable steps to prevent personally identifiable information from being shared with third-party model providers beyond what is necessary to deliver the service.

(b) No professional advice. AI-generated outputs are not legal, financial, electoral compliance, or professional advice of any kind. You are solely responsible for reviewing all AI-generated content before use and for ensuring it complies with applicable law and your campaign's or office's obligations.

(c) Limitations. AI outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or reflect limitations or biases in underlying data. See Section 19 for the applicable disclaimer.

(d) Your responsibility. Nothing in the Platform's AI features removes or reduces your obligations under Section 16 (Your Compliance Responsibilities). You remain responsible for all content your campaign or office publishes or sends, regardless of how it was generated.

13. Privacy and Data

Good Party complies with the CCPA and CPRA for California residents. These practices apply to all users; statutory rights apply only where required by law.

We collect information you provide (name, email, campaign details, payment information) and data generated by your use of the Platform (login activity, outreach data). We use this data to provide and improve the Platform, verify eligibility, process payments, and communicate with you.

We do not sell, rent, or distribute your personal data to third parties for their own commercial purposes.

To operate the Platform, we share limited data with service partners to the extent necessary. Good Party is not responsible for those partners' data practices once data has been shared.

You may request deletion of your personal data by contacting us at Support@goodparty.org. Some data may be retained where required by law or to complete pending transactions.

Good Party maintains appropriate safeguards to protect your data. You are responsible for the security of your account and the accuracy and lawfulness of any data you upload.

14. Changes

Good Party may modify the Platform or this Agreement at any time. Changes take effect when posted; continued use means you accept the update. We encourage you to review this Agreement periodically.

15. Third-Party Services

Election data on the Platform is sourced from public and private databases and may not reflect real-time changes. See Section 19 for the applicable data disclaimer. You are responsible for independently verifying filing deadlines and election dates with your local election authority.

16. Your Compliance Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the Platform complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including campaign finance, election, and telecommunications laws.

17. Suspension and Termination

You may cancel at any time as described in Section 6. Good Party may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you materially breach this Agreement, violate the Candidate Pledge, fail to maintain eligibility, or engage in conduct that poses a risk to the Platform or its users.

Upon termination, your license to use the Platform ends. Sections 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18, and 19 survive termination.

18. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Good Party and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from claims arising from your use of the Platform, your campaign data, your violation of this Agreement or applicable law, or any third-party claims from your campaign activities.

Good Party agrees to indemnify you against claims alleging that the Platform infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.

19. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. GOOD PARTY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, VOTER AND CONSTITUENT DATA (SECTION 8), AI-GENERATED OUTPUTS (SECTION 12), AND THIRD-PARTY ELECTION DATA (SECTION 15) — GOOD PARTY DOES NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR CURRENCY OF ANY SUCH DATA OR OUTPUTS, AND YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH RELIANCE ON THEM.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GOOD PARTY'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE FEES YOU PAID IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. GOOD PARTY IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

20. Disputes and Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

  1. Informal resolution first. Before initiating any formal dispute, both parties agree to attempt good-faith informal resolution.
  2. Arbitration. If informal resolution fails, disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the AAA under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, in English, in Delaware or by video conference at your election. The arbitrator's decision is final and may be entered as a court judgment.
  3. Small claims carve-out. Either party may bring individual claims in small claims court instead of arbitration.
  4. No class actions. All claims must be brought individually — class actions and representative proceedings are not permitted.
  5. Opt-out. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting this Agreement by sending written notice to support@goodparty.org or by mail to Good Party LLC, 916 Silver Spur Road, Suite 310, Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274, with the subject line 'Arbitration Opt-Out.'

21. General

The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Good Party regarding the Platform and supersedes all prior agreements on the same subject. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified minimally to make it enforceable; remaining provisions stay in effect. Good Party's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign this Agreement without Good Party's prior written consent; Good Party may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
