Terms and Conditions

ReadyTo.Vote is a technology platform that provides infrastructure to help eligible Texas residents submit voter registration applications. Specifically, we:

• Provide a web-based interface for you to enter your voter registration information
• Generate a Texas voter registration application form based on data you provide
• Facilitate your use of Lob, Inc., a third-party commercial mailing service, to print and mail your application to your county voter registrar
• Store a copy of your application in your account for your personal records
• Provide tracking and status information about your mailing

We do NOT:

• Act as Volunteer Deputy Registrars (VDRs) as defined by Texas Election Code
• Receive completed voter registration applications from you for delivery to registrars
• Review your application for accuracy, completeness, or eligibility
• Exercise any discretion over whether or when to send your application
• Guarantee that your application will be delivered or accepted by your county registrar
• Register you to vote (only your county voter registrar can register you)
• Provide legal advice regarding voter registration or eligibility

Before using this Service, you must confirm your eligibility by attesting to the following:

By using this Service, you represent, warrant, and attest that:

• You are a United States citizen
• You are a resident of the State of Texas
• You are at least 17 years and 10 months old (and will be 18 years old by the next election)
• You have not been finally convicted of a felony, OR if you have been convicted, you have fully discharged your sentence, including any incarceration, parole, supervision, period of probation, or you have been pardoned or otherwise released from the resulting disability to vote
• You have not been determined by a final judgment of a court to be totally mentally incapacitated or partially mentally incapacitated without the right to vote
• You meet all Texas voter registration eligibility requirements under Texas Election Code

You explicitly agree that you will NOT:

• Submit voter registration information for anyone other than yourself without their explicit authorization
• Provide false, fictitious, or fraudulent information
• Use someone else's identity or personal information
• Submit multiple fraudulent applications
• Use automated systems, bots, or scripts to submit applications
• Attempt to register to vote if you are not eligible
• Violate Texas Penal Code Section 13.007 (making a false statement on a voter registration application) or any other applicable law

You represent and warrant that:

• All information you provide is true, accurate, complete, and current
• You have carefully reviewed your application before authorizing us to send it
• You understand that providing false information on a voter registration application may violate state or federal law
• YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF YOUR APPLICATION

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Our system provides automated format validation (e.g., checking that dates are valid, ZIP codes are 5 digits) but does NOT review your application for accuracy or completeness
• No human reviews your application before it is sent
• You must carefully review the generated application preview before authorizing mailing
• You are responsible for ensuring all information is correct before submission

When you use our Service:

1. You provide data - You enter your personal information and create an electronic signature through our platform
2. You review - We generate a preview of your voter registration application for you to review
3. You authorize - You explicitly authorize us to transmit your information to Lob for printing and mailing
4. We transmit - Our automated system immediately transmits your information to Lob's API
5. Lob prints and mails - Lob prints your application and mails it via USPS to your county voter registrar
6. We store a copy - After transmission to Lob, we save a copy of your application in your account for your records
7. We provide tracking - We provide status information about your mailing

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Once you click "Authorize Mailing," our system immediately and automatically transmits your information to Lob
• There is no queue, delay, or holding period
• No human reviews or approves your application
• We have ZERO discretion over whether to send your application once you authorize it
• We cannot stop or cancel the mailing once you have authorized it

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Lob, Inc. (not us) physically prints and mails your voter registration application
• You are authorizing Lob to mail your application on your behalf
• We transmit your information to Lob's systems for this purpose
• Lob is responsible for the printing and mailing
• We are not the mailing service; we provide infrastructure that facilitates your use of Lob's mailing service

We explicitly disclaim any role as Volunteer Deputy Registrars.

Under Texas Election Code Section 13.044, a person who receives a voter registration application from an applicant for the purpose of delivering it to the registrar must be appointed as a Volunteer Deputy Registrar.

We do not receive completed voter registration applications from you for delivery. Instead:

• You provide us with data (not a completed application)
• We generate a voter registration form based on your data
• You authorize us to use a commercial mailing service to send it
• Lob mails the application
• We store a copy for your records after transmission

This process is fundamentally different from the VDR function contemplated by Texas law.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• You do not create a completed voter registration application and then give it to us
• Instead, you provide data to our system, which generates the application
• The application does not exist until our system creates it from your data
• We are providing document generation and transmission infrastructure, not acting as a delivery intermediary for pre-existing applications

You acknowledge and agree that:

• We store a copy of your application in your account AFTER it has been transmitted to Lob
• This storage is for your benefit (so you have a record of what you submitted)
• This storage is not part of our mailing or delivery function
• You can download or delete your application copy at any time
• The copy in your account is your personal record, not a "held" application awaiting delivery

We do NOT guarantee:

• That your application will be successfully delivered to your county registrar
• That your county registrar will accept your application
• That you will be registered to vote
• That the U.S. Postal Service will deliver your application
• That Lob will successfully print and mail your application

We are not liable for:

• Technical failures of our platform
• Failures of Lob's systems
• Failures of USPS delivery
• Internet connectivity issues
• Data transmission errors

We cannot and do not verify your voter registration status.

To confirm you are registered to vote, you must contact your county voter registrar directly or check your registration status through official Texas Secretary of State resources.

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
• All activities that occur under your account
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use

We collect and store:

• Personal information you provide (name, address, date of birth, etc.)
• Your electronic signature image
• Records of when you authorized mailings
• Copies of applications you submitted (stored in your account)
• Tracking and delivery status information
• Technical data about your use of the Service

We use your data to:

• Generate your voter registration application
• Transmit your information to Lob for printing and mailing
• Provide you with copies and records of your submissions
• Track the status of your mailings
• Send you reminders about voter registration renewals (if you opt in)
• Improve our Service

See our Privacy Policy for complete details.

• We retain your account data as long as your account is active
• You may delete your account and data at any time
• We may retain certain data as required by law or for legitimate business purposes

To prevent misuse of our Service and protect the integrity of voter registration, we implement:

We reserve the right to:

• Monitor submissions for patterns indicative of fraud or abuse
• Flag suspicious accounts or submissions for review
• Temporarily suspend accounts pending investigation
• Permanently terminate accounts engaged in fraudulent activity
• Report suspected fraud to law enforcement and election officials
• Cooperate fully with investigations by authorities
• Preserve and provide records to law enforcement upon lawful request

If we determine you have used the Service fraudulently or in violation of these Terms:

• Your account will be immediately terminated
• We may report your activity to:
  • Your county voter registrar
  • The Texas Secretary of State
  • Local, state, or federal law enforcement
  • Other appropriate authorities
• We will preserve all records related to your account and activity
• We will cooperate with any investigation or prosecution

While we implement fraud prevention measures, we have no obligation to monitor all user activity and cannot guarantee the prevention of all fraudulent submissions.

The ultimate responsibility for verifying voter eligibility rests with county voter registrars. Our fraud prevention measures are supplementary safeguards, not a replacement for official verification processes.

We take fraud reports seriously and will investigate promptly.

We may update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by:

• Posting the updated Terms on our website
• Updating the "Last Updated" date
• Sending you an email (if you have an account)

Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
