1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms" or "Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "Visitor," or "Constituent") and the Sally Busby for Indiana Committee ("we," "us," "our," or "the Campaign").

If you do not agree with any provision of these Terms or our Privacy Policy, you must immediately cease accessing this website and refrain from submitting any data or requests through our interactive forms.

2. Permitted & Prohibited Conduct

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access and use the website and its content strictly for personal, non-commercial, educational, civic engagement, and political advocacy purposes in support of honest governance in District 78.

You strictly agree NOT to engage in any of the following unauthorized actions while utilizing our web platform:

• Security Circumvention: Attempting to bypass, probe, defeat, or disable our Content Security Policy (CSP), Subresource Integrity (SRI) checks, SSL/TLS encryption, or server firewall mechanisms.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

All original content featured on sallyforindiana.com—including text, campaign slogans ("Sally Busby for Indiana"), logo designs, infographics, accountability research filings, legislative directories, video recordings, and graphic assets—is the sole and exclusive property of the Sally Busby for Indiana Committee, protected by applicable United States copyright and trademark laws.

Fair Use & Civic Advocacy: Constituents and press organizations are encouraged to share, link to, quote, and distribute our infographics, accountability files, and policy breakdowns for non-commercial civic and educational purposes, provided that clear and prominent attribution is credited to Sally Busby for Indiana (sallyforindiana.com).

4. Interactive Tools & Calculators Disclaimer

Our website features interactive utilities, including the District 78 Priorities & Utility Calculator and the District Map Address Lookup Portal. You expressly acknowledge and agree that:

• Informational Purposes Only: All calculators, rate comparisons, and potential annual bill projections provided on this site are illustrative, educational tools based on historical CenterPoint Energy filings, public Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) records, and public tax data. They are designed to foster public awareness and civic dialogue.
• Not Professional Advice: Nothing contained within our calculators or policy documents constitutes formal legal, financial, accounting, utility billing, or professional advice. Users should consult their actual utility billing statements and official IURC rate schedules for exact personal financial accounting.
• Address Lookup Verification: While our District Map tool connects to official Google Civic Information endpoints and verified Indiana town directories, official voter registration status and exact precinct boundaries are ultimately governed solely by the Indiana Election Division (`indianavoters.in.gov`) and county election boards.

5. User Submissions & Video Q&A Content

When you submit constituent questions, personal stories regarding utility rate burdens, or policy inquiries via our "Ask Sally Anything" or "Submit Questions for Video Q&A" portals, you retain ownership of your original ideas. However, by submitting content to the campaign, you grant the Sally Busby for Indiana Committee a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, and publicly address your submitted questions or remarks across our video dispatches, public town halls, and written publications.

Note on Privacy: Unless you grant explicit permission to share your full identity, our campaign adheres to a strict protocol of referencing constituent questions using only first names and town/neighborhood names (e.g., "Sarah from Newburgh") to protect individual privacy while fostering community dialogue.
