Effective 12 August 2026
These Terms govern your use of Texas Lobby Tracker (the “Service”), operated by Stenger Strategies (“we,” “us”) of Austin, Texas. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information and is part of these Terms.
The Service aggregates lobby registration data published by the Texas Ethics Commission (“TEC”), organizes it, classifies it by industry sector, and delivers searches, comparisons, and email alerts. It also provides reference directories of Texas legislators and statewide officials.
The Service is a research and monitoring tool. It is not a compliance product, and it is not legal advice.
You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract. You agree to provide accurate registration information and keep it current.
The Service is licensed to you for your own professional use. You agree not to:
The underlying filings are public record and we claim no ownership of them. What we license to you is our compilation, classification, enrichment, presentation, and delivery of that data. You remain free to obtain the same underlying records from the TEC directly.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section.
The Service is not a substitute for the official TEC record.
Always verify against the original TEC filing before relying on any information for legal, compliance, financial, journalistic, or business decisions. We provide the Service on an “as-is” basis and do not warrant accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.
If you publish a professional profile, you grant us a non-exclusive license to display the content you submit to other subscribers, for the purpose of operating the Service. You represent that you have the right to submit it and that it is accurate and not misleading.
You may edit or unpublish your profile at any time. We may remove content that violates these Terms or that we reasonably believe is inaccurate or unlawful.
The Service — including its software, design, sector taxonomy, compiled datasets, and written content — is owned by us and protected by applicable law. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service; they transfer no ownership.
The Service links to third-party sites, including the Texas Ethics Commission, the Texas Senate, and the Texas House. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, or privacy practices.
We aim for continuous availability but do not guarantee it. The Service may be unavailable for maintenance, third-party outages, or events beyond our control. We may modify or discontinue features. We do not currently offer a formal uptime commitment.
You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time by emailing us.
We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if your payment fails, or if we reasonably believe your use creates legal risk or harms the Service or other users. Where practical, we will give notice and an opportunity to cure.
On termination, your license ends immediately. Sections 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, and 15 survive.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; those limitations apply only to the extent permitted.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and reasonable costs (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of a third party’s rights.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
a) Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
b) Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, you agree to contact us at info@stengerstrategies.com with a written description of the dispute and the relief you seek, and to give us 30 days to resolve it informally. Most disputes can be settled this way.
c) Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The arbitration will be held in Travis County, Texas, or by videoconference or on the documents if you prefer. The arbitrator’s decision may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
d) Class-action waiver. Disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity. You and we each waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding.
e) Exceptions. Either party may (i) bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and (ii) seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state or federal courts of Travis County, Texas to protect intellectual property, confidential information, or to stop unauthorized access, scraping, or redistribution under Section 5. For those matters you consent to that jurisdiction.
f) Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing info@stengerstrategies.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and that you decline arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms, and we will not treat it as a reason to close your account.
g) Severability. If subsection (d) is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will proceed in the courts of Travis County, Texas, and the rest of this Section still applies.
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be posted here with a new effective date and, where appropriate, sent by email. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept them.
If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us regarding the Service.
