Terms of Service

VoteScores is provided by Zeus Athena LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Zeus Athena”, “we”, “us”). By using the VoteScores platform, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the platform. We may update these terms; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

VoteScores provides voter education tools, candidate comparison quizzes, and related civic-technology services. The platform launches with the Kenya 2027 General Election and will extend to additional jurisdictions over time.

VoteScores is non-partisan. Match scores reflect policy alignment, not endorsement. We do not recommend candidates.

• You must be at least 18 years old to create an account
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account
• One person, one account - no impersonation or fake accounts
• Campaign accounts require identity verification
• Multi-factor authentication is required for privileged roles

You agree not to:

• Submit false election data or fabricated evidence
• Attempt to manipulate match scores or voting projections
• Scrape, crawl, or bulk-access the platform without authorization
• Interfere with the platform's security or availability
• Use the platform for voter intimidation or electoral fraud
• Impersonate another user, election official, or representative of any election body

Submissions to the Evidence Engine and People's Tally are treated as election records. Knowingly submitting false data is a violation of these terms and may be reported to the relevant election body, law enforcement, or judicial authority.

Evidence submissions are immutable - once submitted, they cannot be modified or deleted. This is by design for legal integrity.

The platform's code, design, and branding are owned by Zeus Athena LLC. Election data, candidate positions, and quiz questions are provided for public use under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.

Your use of the platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal data consistent with applicable data protection laws (including the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 where relevant).

We aim for high availability, especially during election periods, but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may perform maintenance or updates that temporarily affect availability.

VoteScores provides information for voter education purposes. We are not responsible for voting decisions made based on quiz results, nor for political, electoral, or legal outcomes influenced by use of the platform. Match scores are approximations based on available candidate position data.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Zeus Athena LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the platform.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these terms or your use of the platform shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation, then mediation. Unresolved disputes shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, USA, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable consumer rights you may have under the mandatory law of your country or state of residence.
