TERMS OF SERVICE
Last Revised: [01/01/2025]

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to your access to and use of the websites and other online services (collectively, the “Services”) provided by the Duval County Democratic Executive Committee (the “DCDEC”, “we” or “us”). By accessing and using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

We may provide additional or different terms and conditions with respect to some of the Services (“Additional Terms”). If you use any Services with Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will apply to your use of such Services. If there is any conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control to the extent of such conflict.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make any changes to these Terms, we will notify you by revising the “Last Revised” date at the top of these Terms and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a statement to our website homepage or by sending you a notification). Unless otherwise indicated in our notice to you, any changes to these Terms will be effective immediately, and your continued use of the Services following our provision of such notice will confirm your acceptance of such changes. If you do not agree to any changes to these Terms, you must stop using the Services.

Voter Registration and Assistance Tools
We offer certain voter registration and assistance tools through the Services, which help you to, e.g., check to see whether you are registered to vote, register to vote, and commit to vote. These tools are intended to assist you by making available the applicable voter registration form for your state and an easy method for completion. You are solely responsible for properly completing and submitting the form in a timely manner to the appropriate state agency. While we aim to keep information accurate and our tools functioning as intended, we cannot guarantee their accuracy, timeliness, or operation. These tools and all related content are provided “AS IS.”

Mobile Communications

If you subscribe to receive updates or other information from us through our SMS text messaging program, you consent to receiving automated text messages from us via your mobile device. Subscribers may receive periodic updates from the Duval County Democratic Executive Committee (DCDEC). These may include updates, event invitations, donation asks, and voting reminders.

The DCDEC’s mobile campaigns provide subscribers with updates, event invitations, donation asks, and voting reminders. You can expect to receive no more than 2 text message(s) per day from the DCDEC.

You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Just text “STOP”. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you wish to rejoin, simply sign up again as you did the first time, and we will resume sending messages.

If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program, you can reply with the keyword “HELP” for more assistance, or you can get help directly at support@duvaldems.org.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. T-Mobile is not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
