Terms of Service

Last updated June 12, 2026

CivicMerge is operated by Interzone Group, based in California, USA. By using civicmerge.com, you agree to these terms.

Acceptance

By accessing or using CivicMerge (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you are 18 or older.

Accounts

You may need an account to purchase datasets or subscribe. Account registration requires a valid email address. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account.

To delete your account, email [email protected]. We will process deletion within 30 days. Purchase records are retained in anonymized form for 7 years as required by tax law.

Purchases & Subscriptions

One-time purchases. You pay the listed price for a dataset. Payment is processed by Stripe. Upon successful payment, you may download the dataset. Access does not expire.

Subscriptions. Standard ($49/mo) and Pro ($99/mo) tiers billed monthly via Stripe. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain access and remaining exports until the period ends. No prorated refunds.

Auto-renewal compliance. By subscribing, you acknowledge and agree to the auto-renewal terms. You may cancel at any time via your account settings or by emailing [email protected]. We will send a reminder before each renewal. Cancellation must be completed before the renewal date to avoid being charged for the next period.

No refunds. All purchases and subscription payments are final. Because digital goods cannot be returned, we do not offer refunds. This includes accidental purchases.

Service Level Agreement (Pro Plan)

Uptime commitment. CivicMerge Pro Plan targets 99.5% monthly uptime. Uptime is measured as the percentage of time the Service is accessible via HTTPS in a given calendar month, excluding the following:

  • Planned maintenance (notified at least 48 hours in advance)
  • Third-party service outages (Cloudflare, Stripe, Resend, etc.)
  • Force majeure events
  • Actions or omissions by you or your authorized users

Credits. If uptime falls below 99.5% in a month, you may request service credits:

  • 99.0%–99.49% → 5% credit of monthly fee
  • 95.0%–98.99% → 10% credit of monthly fee
  • Below 95.0% → 25% credit of monthly fee

Credits are applied to your next billing period. Total credits never exceed the monthly subscription fee. No cash refunds. To request a credit, email [email protected] within 30 days of the month in question.

License to Use Datasets

When you purchase a dataset, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use it for any lawful purpose, including commercial use, research, analysis, and product development.

You may not resell, sublicense, or publicly redistribute the raw dataset as-is. Derived works, analysis, and aggregated insights are permitted and do not require attribution.

Datasets are derived from government open data portals under each dataset's applicable terms. AI processing and transformation may create new intellectual property, which we license to you under these terms.

Data Accuracy & Disclaimer

We process and check datasets using automated pipelines, but we do not guarantee accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. Government source data may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information.

THE SERVICE AND ALL DATASETS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Interzone Group shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service or any dataset. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the fees you paid in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

Prohibited Conduct

  • Use the Service for any illegal purpose
  • Attempt to bypass payment or access controls
  • Scrape or bulk download datasets without authorization
  • Interfere with the operation of the Service
  • Resell or redistribute raw datasets as-is
  • Use datasets for any housing, lending, employment, or credit eligibility determination subject to the Fair Housing Act (FHA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), or similar regulations

Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts for violation of these Terms. If your account is terminated for cause, no refund will be issued. You may stop using the Service at any time.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of California.

Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be posted on this page. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
