5. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, CapitolExposed has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Service or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

6. Public Records Note

Works produced by the United States government are not copyrightable under 17 U.S.C. § 105. This includes STOCK Act financial disclosures, FEC campaign finance records, Senate lobbying disclosure filings, congressional vote records, and other official government documents that form the foundation of our platform.

Additionally, factual data and compilations of facts are not copyrightable under the Supreme Court's ruling in Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service Co., 499 U.S. 340 (1991). The DMCA does not provide a mechanism for removing factual information derived from public records.

If you have concerns about data accuracy rather than copyright infringement, please contact us at hello@capitolexposed.com and we will review and correct any verified errors.
