Terms of Use

Last updated: November 9, 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of profocis.com and related services (“ProFocis,” “we,” “us”). By visiting or using the site, creating an account, or taking an Action, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

2. What ProFocis is

ProFocis is a platform where people can learn about a Campaign and contact companies or public figures by call, email or social post. We are an information and organizing tool. We are not a law firm, news organization, lobbyist, or government body, and we do not speak for any Campaign target.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use ProFocis, and if you are under the age of majority where you live, you should have a parent or guardian’s permission. You must not be barred from using the service under applicable law. ProFocis is intended for use in the United States.

4. Accounts

  • You can browse most of the site without an account. Joining as a Member or Organizer requires an email address, a username and a password.
  • Give accurate information and keep it up to date.
  • Keep your password secret. You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at info@profocis.com if you think it has been compromised.
  • Do not share, sell or transfer your account, and do not impersonate anyone else.
  • Organizers may create or manage Campaign content only as the site allows, and must follow the Organizer rules we post.

5. Acceptable use

ProFocis exists for peaceful, lawful civic participation. When you use the site or contact a Campaign target, you agree to:

  • be respectful and civil, whether you call, write or post;
  • keep to the lawful purpose of the Campaign and tell the truth about who you are;

and you agree not to:

  • harass, stalk, bully or abuse anyone, including Campaign targets, their staff and other users;
  • make threats of violence or harm, or encourage others to do so;
  • use hate speech, slurs or discriminatory attacks;
  • share private information about anyone (such as a home address, personal phone number or family details) or contact people at their homes;
  • send spam, bulk or repetitive messages, or use bots, scripts or other automation to take Actions or inflate counts;
  • post unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent or misleading content;
  • break, probe, scrape or overload the site or evade rate limits or security measures;
  • infringe anyone’s intellectual property or privacy; or
  • use the site for commercial solicitation or to violate any law.

We may use contact-directory details that are publicly listed for a target’s office or business. Please use those channels only.

6. Your content

You own what you submit, such as your profile, avatar and any text you post (“User Content”). You give ProFocis a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce and distribute your User Content as needed to run and promote the site. You confirm that you have the rights to what you submit and that it does not break these Terms or any law. We may remove or edit User Content at our discretion, but we have no duty to monitor it. Messages you send to Campaign targets from your own email, phone or social account are your own communications, and you are solely responsible for them.

7. Our content, sources and fair use

Campaign pages summarize publicly available reporting and records about public figures, companies and sponsors, and link to the original sources. We write these summaries as commentary, criticism and news-related reporting. Where we quote or reference third-party material, we do so in limited amounts, with attribution and a source link, and we believe this is fair use under U.S. copyright law. Statements on Campaign pages reflect the cited sources and our editorial summary. They are not legal findings and do not claim to be the whole story. If you think something is inaccurate or unfair, see section 12.

The ProFocis name, logo, design and original content belong to us and are covered by our Copyright and Content Use page.

8. No verification of follow-through

Action counts on ProFocis are click counts. They show how many times people clicked an Action button, not how many calls were completed, emails were sent or posts were published. We do not verify follow-through. We make no promise that any Campaign target will respond, change course or take notice, or that any Campaign will reach its goal.

9. Third-party links and services

The site links to news sites, company pages, social networks and other third-party services. We do not control or endorse them and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or practices. Using them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, secure or error free, or that content from third-party sources is complete or current. Nothing on ProFocis is legal, financial or professional advice.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, ProFocis and its owners, volunteers and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the site. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed 100 US dollars. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising from your User Content, your communications with Campaign targets, or your breach of these Terms, to the extent the law permits.

12. Corrections and takedown requests

We want Campaign pages to be accurate and fair. If you believe a page contains a factual error, outdated information, or content that should not be there, email info@profocis.com with the subject “Correction Request” and include:

  • the web address of the page;
  • the statement you believe is wrong or objectionable;
  • why, with supporting documents or links if you have them; and
  • your name and how to reach you.

We will review requests in good faith and, where appropriate, correct, update, clarify or remove the content. We may add a note rather than remove material that is accurately supported by public sources. Copyright complaints follow the process on our Copyright and Content Use page.

13. Termination

You may stop using ProFocis and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access, remove content, or restrict features at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you broke these Terms, harmed others, or created legal or security risk. Sections that by nature should survive (including sections 6 to 11, 14 and 15) survive termination.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that is not resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except where the law of your home state requires otherwise.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version with a new “Last updated” date and, for material changes, give additional notice. Continued use after changes means you accept them.

16. General

These Terms, with the Privacy Policy and Copyright and Content Use page, are our full agreement with you. If a part is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent.
