Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2026

Welcome to CommuneUSA. By using this site you agree to these terms. We have written them in plain language on purpose — if something is unclear, just ask.

What CommuneUSA is

CommuneUSA is a free, nonpartisan civic information tool. It helps you identify your elected and appointed representatives at the federal, state, and county level, and see how to reach them. It is not affiliated with any political party, campaign, government agency, or advocacy group.

Acceptable use

You may use CommuneUSA to:

  • Look up your own representatives by address.
  • Share representative information with others.
  • Learn about the structure of your government.

Please do not:

  • Scrape, crawl, or bulk-download data from this site at a rate that would disrupt service for others.
  • Use the site to harass, threaten, or target individuals — including the officials listed.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, attack, or interfere with the site's infrastructure.
  • Misrepresent this site as an official government resource.

Data accuracy — no warranty

Our representative data is sourced from public government APIs and official directories — Open States, Congress.gov, the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder, and the MRSC Officials Directory for Washington counties. We keep this data as current as possible through automated nightly syncs, but we cannot guarantee that it is always complete, accurate, or up to date.

CommuneUSA is provided “as is” with no warranty of any kind. Do not rely on it as your sole source for time-sensitive civic matters like voting deadlines or official contact information. Always verify with an official government source when it counts.

Civic data and public records

The information displayed on CommuneUSA — names, offices, districts, phone numbers, and email addresses — is public record. It is the same information published by government bodies and available through official channels. We aggregate and organize it to make it more accessible, but we do not create, alter, or verify the underlying facts.

If you believe a specific record is incorrect, please contact us. We will investigate and, where appropriate, update our data or reach out to the source API.

No political affiliation

CommuneUSA has no political agenda. We display information about officials regardless of party. We do not endorse, oppose, or rank candidates or elected officials. Any party labels shown are taken directly from official government data sources.

CommuneUSA is not sponsored by or affiliated with any campaign, PAC, political party, or government entity.

Third-party links

Official profile links on this site may point to government websites, legislative pages, or other external resources. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CommuneUSA and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site, reliance on the data displayed, or inability to access the service.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
