Unacceptable Use

ClarityGov operates a free service, and as such the following actions are prohibited:

Disclaimer

Our Terms of Service may be subject to change. While we may notify users for larger changes, it should not be expected nor is required. The aforementioned terms describe services current as of the date updated. New services may be subject to updated data collection practices even if they are not included in this document. Additionally, should any jurisdiction find any part of these terms to be inadmissible, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid, the entirety of the remaining document remains in force.
