Terms of Service

Nicolas helps organisations create issues, invite voters, and run liquid quadratic voting workflows. You are responsible for the organisations, issues, invitations, and content you create.

You must use accurate account information and keep access to your email account secure.

Do not use Nicolas for illegal activity, harassment, spam, security attacks, impersonation, or collecting personal information without the right to do so.

Do not try to bypass authentication, row-level security, rate limits, or organisation permissions.

Nicolas provides decision-support software. It can help a group see preferences, intensity, participation, and results, but it is not a substitute for legal, financial, employment, election, or governance advice.

You are responsible for deciding whether Nicolas is appropriate for your group’s rules and obligations.

Nicolas may link to Stripe for optional donations. Donations support the project and are processed by Stripe under Stripe’s terms.

Unless a separate written agreement says otherwise, donations do not create a service-level guarantee, ownership interest, or special access right.

We aim to keep Nicolas reliable, but the service is provided as is and may change, pause, or become unavailable.

We may update these terms as the product changes. Material changes will be reflected by the updated date on this page.

You keep responsibility for the content you create in Nicolas. You allow Nicolas to store, process, display, and transmit that content as needed to provide the service.

If you invite voters, make sure you have a reasonable basis for contacting them and adding them to your organisation.

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Nicolas is provided without warranties and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot legally be limited.
