Ratify Ballot Box
Terms and Conditions

1. About the Ratify Ballot Box

The Ratify Ballot Box is an interactive entertainment and engagement experience that allows users to participate in polls, ballots, rankings, voting activities, and other interactive content.

Ballot Box results are intended primarily for entertainment, engagement, research, and informational purposes.

Unless Ratify expressly states otherwise, Ballot Box results do not constitute an official election, professional ranking, industry certification, or independently verified public-opinion survey.

2. Eligibility

You must be legally permitted to use the Services under the laws applicable to you.

Users under the age of 13 should not submit personal information through the Ratify Ballot Box without appropriate authorization or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to act on behalf of that organization.

3. Ballot Participation

Ratify may establish rules for individual ballots, polls, rankings, or other activities.

These rules may include:

• •The number of votes permitted
• •Voting periods
• •Eligibility requirements
• •Methods used to verify participation
• •Geographic or other participation restrictions
• •Methods used to calculate results
• •Procedures for addressing suspicious or fraudulent activity

By participating, you agree to comply with any rules displayed for the applicable Ballot Box activity.

Ratify may use reasonable technical and administrative measures to identify and prevent suspected manipulation.

5. Invalid or Suspicious Votes

Ratify reserves the right to investigate voting activity and to remove, exclude, invalidate, or disregard votes or submissions that we reasonably determine violate these Terms, applicable ballot rules, or the integrity of the Ratify Ballot Box.

Ratify may also restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect the Services or the integrity of voting results.

Our decisions regarding suspected fraudulent or invalid participation will be made in good faith based on the information reasonably available to us.

6. Ballot Results

Ballot Box results may change while voting remains open.

Results may be based on submissions received through Ratify and should not necessarily be interpreted as representing the opinions of the general population or any particular demographic group.

Ratify may publish, display, analyze, aggregate, or otherwise use Ballot Box results in connection with Ratify's business, products, research, marketing, entertainment content, and services.

Ratify may correct results when reasonably necessary because of technical errors, duplicate submissions, fraudulent activity, data-processing errors, or similar circumstances.

7. No Purchase Necessary

Unless expressly stated otherwise for a particular promotion or activity, no purchase is necessary to participate in the Ratify Ballot Box.

Participation in the Ballot Box does not require the purchase of future Ratify products or services.

If Ratify later conducts a contest, sweepstakes, giveaway, or promotion involving prizes, separate official rules may apply.
