These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and BallotBox360. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

BallotBox360 is a nonpartisan civic information application that aggregates publicly available U.S. government data β€” including Congressional legislation, voting records, campaign finance disclosures, and election information β€” and presents it in an accessible format.

The Service includes a free tier and a paid subscription tier ("BallotBox360Β°") that unlocks additional features including AI-generated bill summaries, expanded campaign finance data, and budget breakdowns.

3. Subscriptions & Billing

Subscription Plans

BallotBox360Β° is available as:

  • Monthly β€” billed monthly, cancel anytime
  • Annual β€” billed once per year at a discounted rate
  • Lifetime β€” one-time purchase, no recurring charges

Billing

Subscriptions purchased through the iOS App are processed by Apple and governed by Apple's payment terms. BallotBox360 never has access to your payment card information. Pricing is displayed in the App and on the Site at the time of purchase.

Cancellation

Refunds

All refund requests for App Store purchases must be directed to Apple, as BallotBox360 does not process payments directly. To request a refund from Apple, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. We have no authority to grant or deny refunds for App Store transactions.

Lifetime Purchases

Lifetime subscriptions provide access to BallotBox360Β° features for the life of the product. In the unlikely event the Service is discontinued, lifetime subscribers will receive reasonable advance notice.

4. Free Tier Limitations

The free tier of BallotBox360 provides access to core features with reasonable usage limits. Limits may be adjusted over time. Attempting to circumvent usage limits through automated requests, multiple accounts, or other means is a violation of these Terms.
