Terms of Use

Version 1.0 · Effective August 2026 · Draft pending attorney review

1 · What Write to Congress is, and is not

Write to Congress helps you compose and deliver your own messages to your elected representatives.

The messages are yours. The App drafts text from your instructions and in your chosen style, but you review, edit, and approve every message before it is sent. You are the author and sender of every communication; Write to Congress is a drafting and delivery tool.

Write to Congress is politically neutral. The App does not endorse candidates, parties, positions, or legislation, and is designed not to express political opinions of its own.

Write to Congress is not a law firm, lobbyist, or government agency, and provides no legal, tax, or compliance advice.

2 · License

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control. We (and our licensors) retain all rights not expressly granted. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of the App except as permitted by law.

3 · Accounts and eligibility

You must be at least [16/18] years old and reside in the United States. An account is required because your quotas, address, matched representatives, and message history are stored server-side. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, including your address, which determines which representatives you can contact, and for keeping your credentials secure. One account per person. Accounts are not transferable.

4 · AI-generated content

Drafts are generated by artificial intelligence and may contain errors or inaccuracies, including statements about bills, votes, or representatives. You are responsible for reviewing and correcting every message before sending it. You must not represent AI-drafted claims as verified facts without checking them. We do not guarantee that any message will be delivered, read, or answered.

5 · Free tier, subscriptions, and purchases

Free tier: [3] lifetime message compositions and [50] lifetime chat exchanges (with a daily ceiling). Lifetime limits never reset and are tied to your account, not your device.

Subscriptions (Advocate, Advisor): prices are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Monthly allowances reset on renewal and do not roll over. Consumable bundles never expire and are consumed only after included allowances. Quota is consumed only on confirmed successful delivery to at least one representative.

6 · Referral program

Each user has a personal referral code. A new user who signs up with a valid code receives [+3] lifetime compositions; the referrer earns [+1] composition when the referred user completes a first successful delivery, capped at [20] rewards per rolling month. If you promote Write to Congress in exchange for rewards, the FTC requires you to disclose that connection. Referrers see aggregate counts only: never who joined, what anyone wrote, or any individual’s activity. No self-referral, no automated or fraudulent referrals.

7 · Organization campaigns

Organizations may sponsor campaigns. Suggested prompts are the sponsoring organization’s content, clearly labeled with the organization’s name; they are not Write to Congress’s views. You may edit or discard the suggestion; whatever you send is your own message. Sponsors see aggregate counts only: never your name, your identity, or your message text. Campaign benefits are limited and have no cash value.

8 · Acceptable use

You agree not to use the App to: send threats, harassment, incitement, or unlawful content; impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity or constituency (including using an address that is not yours); automate, script, or bulk-generate messages, accounts, or referrals; probe, scrape, overload, or interfere with the App or the systems of representative websites; or violate any law, including election, lobbying, and campaign-finance laws applicable to you. We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations.

9 · Privacy

Your political views and communications are sensitive. Our Privacy Policy is part of this Agreement. Voice audio is never stored; your message content is never sold, never shared with campaign sponsors, and never used to profile you across users; analytics receive events and counts, not content.

10 · Intellectual property

You own your instructions and your final messages. You grant us the limited license needed to operate the App (draft, store, deliver, and display your content back to you). The App, its design, and its software are ours or our licensors’. Feedback you send us may be used without obligation.

11 · Third-party services

The App relies on third parties (app distribution, AI model providers, representative-data sources, payment processing). Representative contact forms and websites belong to their respective offices; we are not responsible for their availability, requirements, or changes.

12 · Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

13 · Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) $50.

14 · Indemnity

You will indemnify us against claims arising from your content, your messages to representatives, or your violation of this Agreement or applicable law.

15 · Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for violation of this Agreement, with notice where practicable. Sections that by their nature survive do so. Lifetime free allowances have no cash value.

16 · Changes

We may update the App and this Agreement. Material changes will be presented in-app for acceptance; continued use after notice constitutes acceptance of non-material changes. Changes never reduce what you have already paid for.

17 · Apple-specific terms

For the iOS app: this Agreement is between you and us only, not with Apple. Maintenance and support are our responsibility. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and may enforce it against you. You represent you are not in an embargoed country or on any U.S. Government prohibited or restricted parties list.

18 · Disputes; governing law

[Dispute-resolution terms pending counsel: arbitration and class-action waiver with opt-out vs. courts.] Governing law: [STATE]. Venue: [VENUE].
