Terms of Service

Effective May 2026.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Pulse of the Hill (the “Service”), operated by Pulse of the Hill (“we,” “us”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If your organization has a separately signed subscription agreement with us, that agreement controls in case of conflict.

1. Eligibility and use

The Service is intended for business use by government-affairs professionals, trade associations, advocacy organizations, and their advisors. You must be authorized to bind your organization to these Terms. You agree not to misuse the Service or attempt to access it using means other than the interfaces we provide.

2. Accounts

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for activity occurring under your account. Notify us at security@pulseofthehill.com immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

3. Subscription, fees, and renewal

Paid subscriptions are billed according to the order form or order page applicable to your account. Annual subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least thirty days before the renewal date. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or expressly stated in writing.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Reverse-engineer, scrape, or systematically extract data from the Service for the purpose of building a competing product.
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service or its outputs as a standalone data product without our written consent.
  • Use the Service to violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right, including the Lobbying Disclosure Act.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or attempt to gain unauthorized access.

5. Customer content

You retain ownership of notes, briefs, workspace data, and other content you create in the Service (“Customer Content”). You grant us a limited license to host, process, and display Customer Content solely to provide the Service to you. We do not use Customer Content to train machine-learning models.

6. Service data and accuracy

The Service presents data derived from public sources, including Senate LDA disclosures, Congress.gov, and other public records. While we take reasonable care to keep the data current and accurate, we do not warrant that all data is complete, error-free, or up-to-the-minute. The Service is a research tool, not legal, tax, or investment advice. Decisions should be verified against primary sources.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, and curation work (excluding Customer Content and underlying public-record data), is our property and protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws.

8. Termination

Either party may terminate the subscription for material breach upon thirty days’ written notice if the breach remains uncured. We may suspend access immediately for activity that threatens the security or integrity of the Service. Upon termination, your access ceases and we will, on request, return or delete Customer Content within sixty days.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability for claims arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the fees you paid to us in the twelve months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to customers via email at least thirty days before they take effect.
