UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, SHALL LEGIS1 (OR ANY OF ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, DISTRIBUTORS, THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, OR LICENSORS (AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS)) BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO USE, ANY CONTENT, INFORMATION OR MATERIAL ON THE SERVICE, OR THE SERVICE ITSELF. YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT LEGIS1 (AND ANY OF ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, DISTRIBUTORS, THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, OR LICENSORS (AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS)) IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY USER, INCLUDING YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF LEGIS1 (OR ANY OF ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, DISTRIBUTORS, THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, OR LICENSORS (AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS)) TO YOU EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO LEGIS1 DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE.
8.5 New Jersey Residents. The limitations of liability in this Section 8 do not apply to residents of the State of New Jersey to the extent prohibited by New Jersey law.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Legis1 (and any of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, distributors, Third Party Providers, and licensors (and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents)) from and against all claims, liability, and expenses, including attorneys' fees and legal fees and costs, arising out of your use of the Service or your breach of any provision of this Agreement. Legis1 reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. You will cooperate as fully as reasonably required in the defense of any claim. You may not settle any claim covered by this Section 9 without Legis1's prior written approval.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a resident of New Jersey, you only agree to release, defend, indemnify and hold Legis1 (and the parties listed above) harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your violation of these Terms.
If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:
“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
If you are not a California resident, you waive your rights under any statute or common law principle similar to Section 1542 that governs your rights in the jurisdiction of your residence.
The Services may include a number of third-party providers of content, technology and other features, including the opportunity for users of the Services to purchase goods or services from third parties (“Third Party Providers”). These are provided for your convenience and are not endorsements by Legis1. Neither Legis1 nor such Third-Party Providers make any warranty concerning content, technology, goods or services provided by such Third-Party Providers. YOU AGREE THAT ANY RECOURSE FOR DISSATISFACTION OR PROBLEMS WITH THOSE GOODS OR SERVICES WILL BE SOUGHT FROM THE THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS DIRECTLY, NOT FROM LEGIS1.
The initial term of this Agreement shall be twelve (12) months from the Effective Date unless otherwise explicitly set forth on the Contract. Legis1 may terminate this Agreement and your use of the Services, or change or discontinue the Services, or remove or remove access to any Content, at any time for any reason. Legis1 shall have the right immediately upon notice to you to terminate your use of the Services in the event of any conduct by you which Legis1, in its sole discretion, considers to be unacceptable, or in the event of any breach by you of this Agreement or violation of applicable law. We will not be liable to you or any other Third Party for taking any of these actions and we will not be limited to the remedies above if you violate any of these Terms.
12.1 This Agreement and any disputes arising under it shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the United States of America and the State of Maryland, without giving effect to their conflict of laws principles. You expressly consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Maryland in any and all actions, disputes, or controversies relating to this Agreement.
12.2 Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. Before initiating any lawsuit or other formal proceeding against Legis1, you agree to first contact Legis1 at [email protected] and use good-faith efforts to resolve the dispute through consultation with Legis1. Good-faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating litigation.
12.3 Statute of Limitations. You agree that, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Site, Services, or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
This Agreement and any policies and rules posted on the Services by Legis1 constitute the complete and exclusive and final expression of the agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The parts of any and all previous terms and conditions agreements signed as part of a sales order not superseded by this Agreement remain effective. No waiver by either Legis1 or you of any breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Legis1 and its successors and assigns. Legis1 may assign this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, with or without notice to you. Any such assignment by Legis1 does not relieve you of your obligations under this Agreement.

This Editorial Policy describes how Legis1's newsroom operates. It is provided for informational purposes and does not modify or override the Terms and Conditions above, including the disclaimers in Sections 4.8 and 8.
How we report. Legis1's news coverage is built on top of our political intelligence platform, which tracks legislation, votes, hearings, communications, lobbying, and campaign finance from public records. Editors generally determine what stories we cover. Our data platform is designed to establish the underlying fact base from primary sources, which may include congressional filings, hearing records, lobbying disclosures, FEC filings, and similar public documents. AI-assisted drafting tools typically generate initial drafts from that fact base. Our editorial workflow is designed to include editor review of drafts prior to publication. Legis1 publishes the content on the Services.
What we cover. Legis1 covers the U.S. Congress, federal agencies, federal lobbying activity, and federal elections, with a focus on actions that are part of the public record.
Sourcing. Legis1 reports primarily from primary public records. Articles link to underlying source documents — filings, hearing transcripts, vote records, and disclosures — so readers can review the source material directly.
Reporting and analysis. Most Legis1 coverage is reporting on public records and public proceedings. Where an article includes analysis or commentary, we identify it as such. Legis1's coverage is nonpartisan; we do not endorse candidates or parties.
Corrections. Legis1 corrects verified factual errors. To report a factual error, contact [email protected] with the article URL and a description of the error. We review reported errors against the underlying source records. Subjects of coverage who believe a story omits material context or contains a factual error may use the same contact path.
