Terms of Service

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms", "Agreement") carefully before accessing or using the PollFlux website, live polling features, comment widgets, APIs, and associated web tools (collectively referred to as the "Service"), operated by PollFlux ("we", "us", or "our").

1. Acceptance of Terms

By visiting, browsing, registering an account, creating a poll, or casting a vote through PollFlux, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to all provisions of these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the Service.

2. The PollFlux Service & Core Philosophy

PollFlux delivers a high-speed, interactive audience feedback utility. Our core service is engineered to allow creators to launch real-time polling sessions and embed threaded discussions with zero mandatory voter friction. While registration is required for poll creators who wish to manage dashboards and retain historical analytics, public voters are never forced to submit personal credentials to cast a ballot.

3. User Conduct & Prohibited Content

You are solely responsible for all polls, titles, options, comments, images, and discussions you publish or share via PollFlux. You agree NOT to use the Service to publish, distribute, or facilitate any content that:

• Promotes hate speech, harassment, threats, doxxing, defamation, or violence against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, or sexual orientation.
• Depicts or facilitates non-consensual sexual content, explicit adult material, or child sexual exploitation and abuse material (CSAM).
• Promotes illegal substances, weapons, fraudulent scams, phishing attacks, malware distribution, or deceptive pyramid schemes.
• Infringes upon any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or intellectual property right of any third party.
• Impersonates any individual, celebrity, corporation, or entity in a manner intended to deceive or mislead the public.

4. Voting Integrity & Anti-Tampering Regulations

The integrity of real-time polling outcomes is paramount. We take aggressive technical measures to ensure honest sentiment tracking. You explicitly agree NOT to:

• Deploy automated bots, headless browsers, cURL/scripts, proxy scrapers, or click farms to artificially manipulate vote counts.
• Bypass client-side or server-side duplicate check mechanisms, browser fingerprinting, or cooldown periods.
• Conduct Denial-of-Service (DoS/DDoS) attacks, flood SignalR WebSockets, or stress-test PollFlux servers without written authorization.

Violation of these anti-tampering rules will result in immediate IP banning, invalidation of fraudulent vote batches, and account termination.

5. Fan Community Polls Disclaimer

PollFlux hosts fan-created opinion surveys and entertainment polls, including unofficial fan community voting pages (such as television entertainment discussions). Unless explicitly certified, PollFlux is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with official television networks, broadcast licensees, or production studios. Fan polls are for public entertainment, community discussion, and predictive sentiment analysis only. Official votes must be cast through official licensed channels.

6. Intellectual Property & User License

You retain ownership of all original content you create on PollFlux. However, by publishing public polls, topics, or comments, you grant PollFlux a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, display, aggregate, format, and distribute that content across the Service for operational and public viewing purposes. All PollFlux trademarks, logos, custom graphics, and software code remain the exclusive property of PollFlux.

7. DMCA & Copyright Infringement Claims

PollFlux respects the intellectual property rights of creators. If you believe in good faith that any content hosted on our platform infringes your copyright under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), please send a formal takedown notice to our designated agent at [email protected] with the following details:

9. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability
