Terms of Service
Last updated: March 2026
By using CivicWire, you agree to these terms. They are written in plain language because you should actually be able to read them.
Scores are editorial opinion
We do not endorse candidates
CivicWire does not endorse any candidate, political party, or political position. Our scores are derived from objective criteria — voting records, attendance, and public filings — evaluated against a consistent, published formula. A high or low score is not an endorsement or condemnation.
Paid reports
Paid products (Voter Dossier PDF, Candidate Runway Gap Analysis, Victory Roadmap) are informational tools for civic research and campaign planning. They do not guarantee electoral outcomes or constitute professional legal, financial, or political advice. Purchase does not imply any endorsement by CivicWire.
Refund requests within 48 hours of purchase will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Email info@civicwire.ca.
Data accuracy & corrections
We work hard to ensure all published data is accurate and properly sourced. If you believe a score or data point is incorrect, email info@civicwire.ca with supporting documentation. Correction requests are reviewed within 5 business days and published transparently.
Acceptable use
You may not use CivicWire to:
- —Scrape or republish data commercially without a data licensing agreement
- —Misrepresent CivicWire scores as factual statements or independent third-party endorsements
- —Harass, defame, or target individuals using data from this platform
- —Circumvent rate limits, authentication, or technical access controls
Intellectual property
The CivicWire scoring methodology, software, design, and editorial analysis are owned by CivicWire. Underlying civic data (council minutes, voting records) are public records and remain in the public domain. Score visualizations and generated PDFs may not be redistributed commercially without permission.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Canadian law, CivicWire and its operators are not liable for any direct, indirect, or consequential damages arising from reliance on scores, reports, or any information published on this platform. Use of this platform is at your own risk.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of British Columbia.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be noted with an updated date above. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance.
