Terms of use

By using MoneyMouth you agree to these terms. They’re written to be read. [Lawyer: review all sections; bracketed items need filling in.]

1. Who we are

MoneyMouth is run by [legal name of owner or company], [city], Connecticut (“we”). Contact: [contact email].

2. What MoneyMouth is, and isn’t

• MoneyMouth is not part of, endorsed by or connected to any government, agency, party or campaign.
• Splits posted here are opinions. They aren’t official votes, petitions or polls, and they don’t change how any government spends money.
• Budget figures come from the public sources named on each page. We work to keep them accurate but can’t promise they’re complete, current or error-free. Check the source before relying on a number.
• Nothing here is tax, legal or financial advice. The receipt is an illustration, not a calculation of what you owe.

3. Your account

• You must be at least 18. [Lawyer: confirm.]
• One account per person. Give a truthful home state.
• Keep your sign-in link and phone to yourself. You’re responsible for what’s posted from your account.

4. What you post

• You own what you write. You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, display and share your public posts on MoneyMouth, and to include your percentages in anonymous averages and summaries, including after you delete your account. Averages that include your post aren’t recalculated to remove it.
• You must follow the house rules. We may hide or remove posts, or close accounts, that break them or the law.
• Don’t post anything you don’t have the right to share.

5. Don’t misuse the site

Don’t try to get around security or database rules, read other people’s private data, overload the site, scrape it in bulk, or post automatically.

6. Ending things

You can delete your account at any time from Account. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms, and we may change or shut down MoneyMouth. If we shut down, we’ll give at least [30] days’ notice on the site so you can download your data.

7. Disclaimers and limits

MoneyMouth is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential damages, or for anything other users post. Our total liability is limited to [$100]. [Lawyer: confirm wording and enforceability for Connecticut consumers.]

8. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut. [Lawyer: venue and dispute-resolution terms.]

9. Changes

If we change these terms, we’ll post the new version here with a new date, and announce significant changes on the site before they take effect.
