• Governing Law: These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision.

• Severability: If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed with the remainder of the arbitration agreement remaining in full force and effect.

• Time Limitation on Claims: ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

24. Electronic Communications Consent

By creating an account and using our Services, you agree to the following regarding electronic communications:

• Transactional Communications: You consent to receive electronic communications from PREAMBL LLC regarding your account, donations, receipts, security notices, and other transactional matters. These communications are essential for the operation of your account and cannot be opted out of while maintaining an active account;
• Communications from Organizations: When you donate to an organization through our platform, you have the option to consent to receive communications (texts and/or emails) from that specific organization. This consent is separate and independent for each organization. As noted in our FAQ, email addresses are shared with organizations as part of the payment processing requirements, and organizations may contact you even without explicit consent, though we educate them on best practices regarding consent;
• Managing Your Consents: You can manage which organizations you consent to receive communications from through your account settings page, without making additional donations. You can update these preferences at any time;
• Revoking Consent: To stop receiving communications from specific organizations, you can update your consent preferences in your account settings or use the unsubscribe mechanisms provided by those organizations. To completely withdraw from all electronic communications from PREAMBL LLC, you must close your account, though this will prevent you from using our Services;
• Required Disclosures: Notwithstanding your communication preferences, we reserve the right to send you legally required notices about your account, security breaches, or changes to our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.

Please note that organizations receiving donations through our platform maintain their own communication practices and privacy policies. While we provide consent management tools and educate organizations on best practices, each organization is responsible for their own compliance with applicable laws regarding electronic communications.

25. Account Security

• Password Requirements: Use a strong, unique password that is at least 8 characters long. We recommend using a password manager and avoiding passwords you use for other online services;
• Credential Protection: Keep your login credentials strictly confidential and never share them with any third party, including family members, campaign staff, or anyone claiming to represent PREAMBL LLC or The Dore platform. We will never ask for your password via email, phone, or any other communication method;
• Security Breach Notification: Immediately notify us at contact@preambl.us if you suspect or become aware of: (a) any unauthorized use of your account; (b) any security breach or compromise of your credentials; (c) any other breach of security related to the Services. Time is critical in preventing fraudulent donations or campaign finance violations;
• Account Responsibility: Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account, except where unauthorized access results from a security failure on our part or a breach beyond your reasonable control despite your compliance with these security requirements;

Knowingly providing false information may result in immediate account termination and potential legal consequences under campaign finance law;

• Prohibited Account Sharing: You may not share, sell, transfer, or allow any other person to access your account. Each user must have their own individual account. This is required for campaign finance compliance as contributions must come from the actual donor.

PREAMBL LLC is not liable for any loss, damage, or legal consequences arising from: (a) your failure to maintain reasonable account security; (b) unauthorized access resulting from your negligence or failure to follow these security requirements; (c) your failure to promptly notify us of security breaches; or (d) your intentional sharing of account credentials. We reserve the right to require you to change your password if we believe your account security has been compromised. If you believe your account has been compromised through no fault of your own, please contact us immediately for assistance.
