Terms of Service · Updated 12 October 2026
Terms of Service
These Terms of Service govern your use of ixmavelle.digital, including every article, page, and feature on the site. They explain what you may do with our political reporting, what we ask of you in return, and where our responsibility ends.
What these terms cover
Ixmavelle Digital publishes election reporting, policy coverage, and governance updates. This page sets the ground rules for reading that work, quoting it, and sending anything back to our desk. By accessing the site, you agree to these terms — and if you do not agree, please do not use the site.
- Reading our reporting
- Personal, non-commercial reading, sharing, and linking are welcome.
- Reusing our work
- Quoting with attribution and a working link is permitted.
- Sending us a tip
- Tips and corrections may be verified, followed up, and edited before publication.
- When we get it wrong
- Corrections that change a story's meaning are labeled on the story itself.
Published policy
12 Oct
The date above is the revision date for this page. Every time the terms change in a way that affects what you may do with our reporting, that date moves and the change is described here.
Questions in writing
Send licensing requests, permission questions, or legal notices through the contact page and we will route them to the right desk.
Contact usThe rules you agree to by using the site
Three obligations sit at the center of these terms. Read them together: each one describes what you may do, and what happens to your access if you go past it.
Use of the site
Read, share, and link — do not republish
You may read, share, and link to our content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not republish substantial portions of our reporting without permission. Automated scraping, bulk downloading, or use of our content to train commercial systems requires prior written consent. We may restrict access where use interferes with the site or with other readers.
Acceptable conduct
Use the site as a reader, not a threat
You agree not to misuse the site, including attempting to gain unauthorized access, distributing malware, or interfering with normal operation. You also agree not to submit knowingly false information intended to mislead our editorial team. We may block access for conduct that violates these terms.
Limitation of liability
The site is provided as-is
The site is provided on an "as is" basis. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the site. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Intellectual property, and what belongs to whom
All original reporting, headlines, and site content are owned by Ixmavelle Digital or its licensors and are protected by copyright. That covers the writing, the framing, our charts and maps, and the way a story is assembled on the page.
Quoting with attribution and a link is permitted — a sentence or two in a newsletter, a discussion thread, or a lesson plan is fine when our name and a working link travel with it. Using our name or our logo in a way that suggests endorsement without permission is not. Third-party material remains the property of its owners, and where we publish a photograph, a court filing, or a wire item, that owner's terms come along with it.
If you need a substantial excerpt for a commercial use, ask first. We will tell you plainly whether we can grant it, who owns the piece you want, and what credit line we would ask for.
User submissions
When you submit a tip, a correction, or a message, you confirm the information is yours to share and is not knowingly false. You grant us the right to use the submission for editorial purposes, including verification and follow-up. We are not obligated to publish any submission, and we may edit for length, clarity, or legal risk. Confidentiality requests are handled as described in our Privacy Policy — tell us at the start of your message if you need that protection, and we will not pass your details to a third party without your agreement.
Before you send us something
- Say what is checkable: a date, a venue, and who to ask next.
- Flag anything you cannot share publicly before you send it.
- Do not send an accusation you have not seen evidence for.
Accuracy, corrections, and the limits of both
We work to report accurately and correct errors when they occur. Despite that effort, content may contain mistakes or may become outdated as events develop — a bill that stalls, a ruling that gets appealed, a race that shifts after a filing. We do not warrant that all information is complete or current at the moment you read it.
Corrections that change the meaning of a story are labeled. If you spot an error in a date, a vote count, or a quotation, tell us through the contact page and include the story you are reading. We will check it against the record and reply with what we find.
Report a correctionWhere our responsibility ends
Third-party links
Our articles may link to external websites, including court filings, government pages, and other news outlets. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices. Following an external link means that site's terms apply to what you do there, and its operators — not Ixmavelle Digital — answer for what it publishes.
No professional advice
Content on this site is journalism and commentary, not legal, financial, or medical advice. Articles may describe court rulings or policy proposals, but they are not a substitute for professional guidance on your own situation. Decisions you make based on what you read here are your own responsibility, and a general explanation of a statute is not an opinion about your case.
Governing terms and changes
We may update these Terms of Service to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised date, and where a change narrows what you may do with our reporting, we will say so in plain language at the top. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
The policies that sit beside these terms
These terms describe how you may use the site. Two companion pages describe how we handle what you give us and what we store on your device. Read them together, and treat the set as the full agreement between you and Ixmavelle Digital.
- Read our Privacy Policy What we collect when you read, subscribe, or send a tip, how long we keep it, and how confidentiality requests are handled.
- Read our Cookie Policy Which cookies the site sets, what each one is for, and how to change your choices in the browser you are using.
Questions about these terms
Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact page. Our desk reads messages Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM ET, and replies in the order they arrive.
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500
