The Midterm Acceptance of these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and The Midterm Ledger, publisher of this site. They take effect October 28, 2026 and cover the site and our emails. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal information.
Use of content
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive license to read, link to, and share our pages for personal, non-commercial use. You may quote a short excerpt with attribution and a link. You may not copy, republish, scrape, sell, or redistribute our content in bulk, or use it to train machine-learning models, without written permission. Requests: zhaoq8778@gmail.com.
Intellectual property
The text, design, logos, and original graphics belong to The Midterm Ledger or are used with permission. Third-party trademarks, photographs, and campaign materials remain their owners' property. These terms transfer no ownership to you.
User submissions
If you send a comment, tip, correction, or other material, you keep ownership and grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, edit, publish, and distribute it in connection with the site. You confirm you have the right to share it and that it violates no one's rights. We may edit or remove submissions and are not required to publish them. Do not send confidential material unless we agreed in advance; see contact.
Prohibited conduct
You may not break the law, harass or threaten anyone, impersonate another person, misrepresent an affiliation with a campaign or party, upload malware, scrape content, interfere with the site, or attempt to access non-public areas.
Third-party links and advertising
We link to other sites and display ads. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, products, or privacy practices. An ad is not an endorsement. Our editorial policy explains ad separation.
Disclaimers
The site provides general election information. It is not legal advice and is not a substitute for official instructions from your state or county election office. Rules and dates change; confirm details with Vote.gov before you vote. We are not affiliated with any candidate, party, campaign, or election authority. The site is provided "as is," without warranties of accuracy, completeness, or fitness, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Midterm Ledger is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or lost profits or data, arising from your use of the site. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to what you paid us, which is zero for public pages.
Indemnification
You agree to defend and indemnify The Midterm Ledger and its officers, employees, and contributors against claims and costs, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your violation of these terms or misuse of the site.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the publisher's principal place of business. Disputes will be heard in the courts located there, unless the law requires otherwise.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We will post the new version and change the effective date. Continued use means you accept the update.
