Terms of Service
These draft terms describe how Signal Desk works. They should be reviewed by a qualified attorney before public launch.
Service
Signal Desk provides news summaries, issue briefings, representative lookup, paid civic-assistance intake, and fax/message preparation. Signal Desk does not guarantee any political outcome, official response, vote, policy change, delivery result, or legal result.
User Responsibility
You are responsible for providing accurate identity, contact, location, payment, and authorization information. You may submit requests only for yourself unless Signal Desk separately approves another lawful arrangement.
Safety and Authorization
Signal Desk may use automation and AI tools to prepare messages, summarize stories, classify urgency, or assist workflow. Signal Desk may refuse, edit, delay, or reject requests that are inaccurate, abusive, unlawful, impersonating another person, or outside the service scope.
No Threats or Violence
Signal Desk is for lawful civic speech. You may not use the service to threaten, harass, intimidate, dox, encourage violence, plan illegal activity, or ask anyone to harm a person or property. Users are responsible for the content they submit. Signal Desk may reject, preserve, remove, or report content that appears threatening, unlawful, or dangerous.
Payments
Payments are processed by third-party payment providers such as PayPal or Stripe. Signal Desk does not store raw credit card numbers. The intended workflow is user authorization, hosted checkout, then message delivery only after payment is attached to the request.
Refunds
If Signal Desk cannot send a request because the fax number is invalid, the provider fails after the retry limit, or the request is rejected before delivery, the request should be marked not charged rather than treated as a completed paid delivery. Final refund and payment-capture rules should be reviewed by counsel before public launch.
No Legal Advice
Signal Desk content is informational and civic in nature. It is not legal advice, lobbying compliance advice, tax advice, campaign finance advice, or a substitute for an attorney.
Lawful Requests
Signal Desk may cooperate with valid legal process, court orders, warrants, emergency safety requests, and provider abuse investigations as required or permitted by law.
Changes
Signal Desk may update these terms as the service changes. Continued use after updates means you accept the updated terms.
