Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

Introduction

Welcome to POWERBACK.us (the “Platform” or “Application”). By accessing or using the POWERBACK.us web application, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Platform.

Definitions

In these Terms of Use, "we", "our", and "us" refers to the owner of the web application. "You" refers to the user or viewer of our web application.

Use of the Web Application

You may use our web application for your personal, non-commercial use only. You agree not to use our web application for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You also agree not to modify, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any information, software, products, or services obtained from our web application.

Governing Law

These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America. Any dispute arising under these Terms of Use shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America.

Transparency

We are committed to maintaining transparency and complying with all relevant federal election laws and regulations regarding the management and use of donation funds. As a conduit for political contributions towards federal election campaigns, we will provide clear and accurate information to users regarding how donation funds are managed, allocated, and disbursed in accordance with applicable laws, including the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) and regulations issued by the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

Users will be informed about the allocation of donation funds to specific political campaigns and candidates, as well as any administrative fees or expenses incurred for facilitating the contributions. We will ensure that all contributions are properly disclosed, and information about the recipient campaigns will be made available to users in a transparent manner.

It is essential to note that political contributions may be subject to limitations and reporting requirements under federal election law. Users are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these legal obligations and exercise their donations accordingly.

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and accountability in managing political donations, and we encourage users to reach out to us with any questions or concerns regarding the handling of donation funds. Our aim is to foster an environment of trust and openness as we facilitate small-dollar individual political contributions towards federal election campaigns.

Refunds and Donations

Contributions made through POWERBACK.us are subject to the specific terms disclosed at the time of contribution. Where a contribution is made subject to stated conditions, any eligibility for a refund will be governed by those disclosed terms.

Except where a refund option is expressly offered and approved in advance, contributions are final and non-refundable. POWERBACK.us does not guarantee that refunds will be available in every circumstance, including after funds have been processed, committed, redirected, or reported in accordance with applicable law and the terms accepted by the contributor.

Users are responsible for reviewing the applicable contribution terms before completing any transaction.

Conditional Redirects

Contributions made through the POWERBACK.us platform may be conditionally earmarked for one or more federal candidates, subject to publicly disclosed performance criteria or other thresholds.

If a specified candidate fails to meet those conditions by the relevant deadline, and the contributor has not requested a refund in advance, the contribution will instead be treated as a direct contribution to POWERBACK, a political committee organized under applicable campaign finance laws (the "Committee").

In such cases:

- The funds will not be forwarded to the candidate. - The contribution will be reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) as a contribution to the Committee. - It will count toward the donor's individual contribution limit for PACs under federal law. - The contribution is not refundable unless previously requested and approved.

Donors are provided notice of this potential redirection at the point of contribution and must affirmatively agree to these terms before completing their transaction.
