Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Fantasy Government ("the Service") at www.fantasygovernment.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to create a Fantasy Government account. If you are under 18, you must have parental or guardian consent. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these eligibility requirements.

Students participating in classroom leagues do not create accounts and do not need to meet the age requirement individually — they access the Service through their teacher's account or a read-only class code. See Section 9 (Classroom & Educational Use) for the terms governing classroom participation.

3. Accounts

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account
• You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account
• You may not create more than one account per person
• You may not transfer your account to another person
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms

Teacher accounts may manage classroom leagues that include student participants. The teacher remains the sole account holder and is responsible for all activity within the classroom league. Students do not have accounts; see Section 9 (Classroom & Educational Use).

4. Non-Partisan Policy

Fantasy Government is strictly non-partisan. Our scoring system is based solely on objective, verifiable legislative activity (votes cast, bills sponsored, etc.) sourced from official government data (Congress.gov, Senate.gov). We do not endorse, promote, or penalize any political party, ideology, candidate, or position. Users must not use the platform to promote political agendas or harass others based on political affiliation.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
• Harass, bully, or threaten other users
• Post spam, advertising, or promotional content in league chats
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other accounts or our systems
• Use automated bots or scripts to interact with the Service
• Reverse engineer or copy any part of the Service
• Use the Service in a way that could damage, disable, or impair it
• Post content that is defamatory, obscene, or violates any third-party rights

6. Subscriptions and Payments

• Some features require a paid subscription (Pro or Pro+ plans)
• Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually as selected at checkout
• All payments are processed securely by Stripe
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled before the renewal date
• You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account billing settings
• Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period — no partial refunds
• We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days notice to existing subscribers

7. Refund Policy

We offer refunds within 7 days of initial purchase if you have not used the paid features. After 7 days, or if you have used the paid features, refunds are not available. To request a refund, contact us at support@fantasygovernment.com.

8. Congressional Data

All legislative data used for scoring is sourced from official U.S. government sources (Congress.gov, Clerk of the House, Senate.gov) and is in the public domain. Fantasy Government does not create or fabricate legislative data. Scoring is based on recorded, official votes and legislative actions. We are not affiliated with the U.S. Congress, any member of Congress, or any government agency.

9. Classroom & Educational Use

Fantasy Government offers a Teacher Mode product for civics classrooms in grades 7–12. Teachers create a single account and run classroom leagues from it. Student participants engage with class roster decisions in classroom discussion or through a read-only class code that grants view-only access; students do not create accounts and do not provide any personal information to Fantasy Government.

By using Teacher Mode, you (the teacher) agree that:

• You will not collect, store, or transmit personally identifiable information (PII) about your students to Fantasy Government through any feature of the Service, including league names, team names, chat messages, or any other text field
• You will not attempt to associate roster decisions, league activity, or chat content with specific student identities in any way that creates a student data record on our servers
• You are responsible for complying with any local district policies governing the use of third-party educational tools in your classroom
• You acknowledge that Fantasy Government's no-student-data architectural commitment, described in our Privacy Policy, is a defining feature of the Service that you will not attempt to circumvent

This section governs the educational use case. For all other uses, the remaining sections of these Terms apply.

10. Intellectual Property

The Fantasy Government name, logo, website design, and original content are the property of Fantasy Government LLC and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may not use our branding without written permission. User-generated content (league names, team names, chat messages) remains your property, but you grant us a license to display it within the Service.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT SCORING DATA WILL BE PERFECTLY ACCURATE OR TIMELY. LEGISLATIVE DATA MAY BE DELAYED OR CONTAIN ERRORS FROM SOURCE APIS.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FANTASY GOVERNMENT LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOST PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Wisconsin.

14. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice on the site. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
