• modify or copy the materials
• use the materials for any commercial purpose or for any public display
• attempt to reverse engineer any software contained on the website
• remove any copyright or other proprietary notations from the materials

3. User Accounts

5a. Product Analytics

We use PostHog for product analytics so we can understand which features are useful and where the site can be improved. We send a pseudonymous user identifier (never your email or name), your account tier, and metadata about how you use the site — pages visited, features clicked, when you start a chat. We do not send the content of your chat messages, the topics you track, or any of the documents you view. PostHog session recording is enabled with sensitive surfaces (chat input, account settings) masked from playback. To request deletion of your analytics data, contact us through our website.

6. Disclaimers

The information on this website is provided on an 'as is' basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Civic Record excludes all representations, warranties, obligations, and liabilities arising out of or in connection with your use of this website.

7. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall The Civic Record or its suppliers be liable for any damages arising out of the use or inability to use the materials on our website, even if we have been notified orally or in writing of the possibility of such damage.

8. Revisions and Errata

The materials appearing on The Civic Record website may include technical, typographical, or photographic errors. We do not warrant that any of the materials on its website are accurate, complete, or current.

9. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and bar access to the service immediately, without prior notice or liability, under our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever including without limitation if you breach the Terms.

10. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect.
