  • Access and Use of Services
  1. Registration.  You will be required to register and create an account with Democracy Docket in order to access and use certain features of the Services. If you choose to register for the Services, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. Each individual user must be of legal age to form a binding contract through creating and maintaining an account and using the Service (in many jurisdictions, this age is 18) and agrees to be bound by these Terms.
  2. Accounts and Security. You may never use another’s account, and you may not provide another person with the username and password to access your account. You are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your password or account, including compliance with applicable federal, state, or local laws, including but not limited to Privacy Laws (defined below), and it is your responsibility to ensure that your password remains confidential and secure. You agree to (a) immediately notify Democracy Docket of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) take necessary steps to protect your account from unauthorized access. Democracy Docket will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.
  3. Mobile Services.  The Service may include certain services that are available via a mobile device, including (i) the ability to upload or post content to the Service via a mobile device, (ii) the ability to browse the Service and the Site from a mobile device and (iii) the ability to access and participate in Services through an application downloaded and installed on a mobile device (collectively, the “Mobile Services”). To the extent you access the Service through a mobile device, your wireless service carrier’s standard charges, data rates and other fees may apply. In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Mobile Services may be prohibited or restricted by your carrier, and not all Mobile Services may work with all carriers or devices.
  4. Cancellation and Refunds. You may cancel your subscription to any fee-based Service at any time through the subscriber portal at account.democracydocket.com or with help from our Help Center. The timing and effect of cancellation are described below. 

All subscriptions renew automatically at the end of the applicable subscription term unless canceled before the applicable renewal date. Annual subscribers will receive notice at least 15 days before their subscription renews. 

For monthly subscriptions, subscription charges are non-refundable once billed. A cancellation will prevent your monthly subscription from automatically renewing at the end of the then-current subscription month and you will continue to have access to members-only content through the remainder of the subscription month for which you have already paid. 

For annual subscriptions, you may cancel within seven (7) days after the date of purchase or renewal and request a full refund. If a refund is issued, your subscription will terminate immediately and your access to members-only content will end. If you cancel more than seven (7) days after the date of purchase or renewal, your annual subscription fee is non-refundable. Your cancellation will prevent your annual subscription from automatically renewing at the end of the then-current subscription term, and you will continue to have access to members-only content through the remainder of the annual subscription period for which you have already paid. 

Gift subscriptions are one-time purchases and do not automatically renew, and cannot be canceled or refunded.

Except as expressly provided above or as otherwise required by applicable law, all payments are final. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Democracy Docket reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to issue refunds or credits in exceptional circumstances. Your rights under applicable law may vary based on your jurisdiction and may supersede portions of this policy.

  1. Customer Support.  Democracy Docket endeavors to provide you with reasonable customer support and maintenance during standard business hours for any fee-based Services via e-mail to [email protected]. Democracy Docket does not guarantee that the support will be available at a certain time or that Democracy Docket will respond within a certain time or that it will have the ability to resolve all problems in connection therewith.
  • Fees and Payment Terms 

Democracy Docket charges subscription fees per the rates and options provided on the Site. All subscriptions are automatically renewed at the end of the subscription term. 

Monthly subscriptions are charged on the same calendar day of each month as the date the subscription began. If a month does not contain that calendar day, the subscription will be charged on the last day of that month. 

Democracy Docket reserves the right to change its prices and to institute new charges at any time, upon posting such new pricing on the Site, which may also be sent by email. Use of the Service by you following such notification constitutes your acceptance of any new or increased charges.

All subscriptions are auto-renewing, meaning that once you sign up for a subscription, your credit card will be charged the renewal fee at the beginning of the period for which you have registered for a subsequent renewal period. The renewal fee charged to your account will be the fee then in effect for the period for which you are renewing. Renewal notices will not be sent to you if you elect a monthly subscription. If you fail to cancel your account prior to your monthly renewal date, then your credit card will be charged the full amount for the renewal period. Democracy Docket may change subscription fees at any time and from time to time. You may be notified of any price changes either via email or through a pop-up window on the Site. Continued use of the Service following a price change constitutes your acceptance of the applicable price change. If you object to any price changes adopted by Democracy Docket, then your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Service and cancel your account prior to your credit card being charged a recurring subscription fee at the changed rate. The provisions of this paragraph are subject to all applicable local laws.

You agree to pay all applicable fees related to your use of the Services. All fees are based on Services purchased, regardless of actual usage. We may suspend or terminate your paid account and/or access to our paid Services if your payment is late and/or your offered payment method cannot be processed. All fees are exclusive of any applicable sales, use, import or export taxes, duties, fees, value-added taxes, tariffs or other amounts attributable to your use of the Services (collectively, “Taxes”). You are solely responsible for the payment of any such Taxes. In the event we are required to pay Taxes on your behalf, you shall promptly reimburse us for all amounts paid. Taxes or any additional charges, if applicable, will be itemized in your order confirmation email.

Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and unless otherwise agreed to by Democracy Docket, in writing, we must receive payment before our acceptance of an order. Payments for items through our Site or for our Services are made through third party platforms, which allow you to use a credit or debit card for purchases. Therefore, when making purchases you are subject to that third-party’s terms of service and privacy policies.

By purchasing Services, you represent and warrant that (i) the payment information you supply for purchases is true, correct, and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use that payment for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your bank or credit card company, and (iv) you will pay all fees associated with your purchase, including all applicable taxes, if any. In the event your payment is returned for any reason, you will automatically be charged any bank fee or third-party payment processor fee imposed on Democracy Docket, in addition to our own processing fee, as determined by Democracy Docket. If this occurs, we retain the right to collect, and you agree to pay any current and past due balances at any time after the returned payment.

Democracy Docket reserves the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel any purchases. You agree to update your Account and other information, including your email address and credit card information, promptly so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

Any payments made through the Site and/or for Services are final and non-refundable. 

  • Communications. You consent to accept and receive communications from us, including email, and calls to the telephone number you provide to us as described in our Privacy Policy. Standard message and data rates applied by your cell phone carrier may apply to the text messages we send you. 
  • User Content and Feedback. 

Certain features of the Services may permit you to submit or post information, questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback, or other materials (“User Content”). You retain ownership of any User Content you submit through the Services.

By submitting User Content, you grant Democracy Docket a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, host, store, display, distribute, modify (solely as necessary for formatting or technical purposes), and otherwise use such User Content as reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, improve, and provide the Services, communicate with users, display User Content through the Services as intended, and comply with applicable law.

You represent and warrant that: (a) you own or otherwise have all rights necessary to submit the User Content; (b) your User Content does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; (c) your User Content complies with applicable law and these Terms; and (d) any information you provide in connection with the Services is accurate, current, and complete, and you will promptly update such information as necessary.

Any suggestions, ideas, recommendations, comments, or other feedback you provide regarding the Services (“Feedback”) may be used by Democracy Docket for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment, compensation, or other obligation to you. To the extent necessary, you grant Democracy Docket a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and incorporate such Feedback into the Services and our business operations.

Democracy Docket is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or quality of any User Content and has no obligation to review, monitor, verify, or validate User Content submitted by users. Certain information you provide through the Services may also be governed by our Privacy Policy.
