Terms of Service

Revised: May 9, 2026

Welcome to Alexander Hale for Congress ("we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of halefortexas.comand any related services we provide (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By visiting the Services, signing up for our communications, submitting volunteer or contact forms, contributing to the campaign, or otherwise interacting with us, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should not use the Services.

2. Eligibility and Lawful Use

You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age in your jurisdiction) to make a contribution. You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including campaign finance laws administered by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the Texas Ethics Commission.

3. Contributions

Federal law prohibits contributions to a federal campaign from foreign nationals (other than U.S. permanent residents), federal contractors, and corporations or labor organizations from their treasury funds. By contributing, you certify that:

• You are a U.S. citizen or lawfully admitted permanent resident.
• The funds are your own and not those of another person.
• You are not a federal contractor and the contribution is not made on a corporate or labor organization credit card.
• You are at least 18 years of age and the contribution is not from another person reimbursing you.

Total campaign contribution maximum is $7,000 ($3,500 for the primary election plus $3,500 for the general election). Contributions are not tax-deductible for federal income tax purposes. Federal law requires us to report the name, address, occupation, and employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in an election cycle.

4. User Submissions

When you submit information through volunteer forms, surveys, contact requests, or other features, you agree that the information is accurate, complete, and not misleading. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any submitted material for campaign communications, organizing, and lawful campaign activities.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Services to transmit any unlawful, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable content.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Services, related systems, or other users' data.

• Misrepresent your identity, including by submitting forms on behalf of another person without authorization.

6. Communications

By providing your phone number and opting in, you consent to receive recurring text messages, including event reminders, issue updates, volunteer opportunities, and donation requests. Message frequency varies. Msg and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for assistance or STOP to opt out at any time.
