Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge these Terms. When a form requires you to select a checkbox stating that you agree to the Terms, submitting that form constitutes your affirmative agreement to the version presented at that time.

SMS/text-message consent is separate and optional. Accepting these Terms does not, by itself, enroll you in recurring text messages.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use features that require your acceptance.

2. About This Website

This website provides information about Maksim Egorov’s campaign for Mayor of Irvine, campaign priorities, election-related matters, civic participation, volunteer opportunities, events, contributions, and ways members of the public may communicate with or support the campaign.

3. Permitted Use

You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes. You may not:

• Interfere with the website’s operation, availability, or security
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or information
• Introduce malicious software, automated attacks, or harmful code
• Scrape, harvest, or collect personal information from the website without authorization
• Misuse campaign forms or communication systems
• Impersonate another person or submit information in another person’s name without authorization
• Knowingly submit false, fraudulent, defamatory, threatening, or misleading material
• Use the website to harass, threaten, or harm another person
• Violate applicable law or the rights of others

We may restrict access or remove submissions when reasonably necessary to protect the Committee, website visitors, service providers, or the public.

4. SMS/Text-Message Terms

If you affirmatively opt in—for example, by selecting a separate SMS consent checkbox and submitting an enrollment form—you agree to receive recurring automated or non-automated SMS or MMS messages from or on behalf of Maksim Egorov for Irvine Mayor 2026.

Messages may include campaign news, public meetings, volunteer opportunities, event reminders, fundraising and donation reminders, voter-participation information, and election-related updates. Providing a telephone number alone does not enroll you in recurring campaign text messages.

You represent that you are the subscriber or customary user of the telephone number you provide and are authorized to consent to messages at that number.

5. Opting Out of Text Messages

You may revoke consent at any time by replying STOP or communicating your request through another reasonable method. You may receive one final confirmation message. We will not send additional messages from that program unless you affirmatively opt in again.

If you change, deactivate, or transfer your telephone number, please notify max@maxforirvine.com.

6. SMS Help and Support

Reply HELP to a message or email max@maxforirvine.com for assistance. Delivery depends on your carrier and network availability and is not guaranteed.

7. Email Communications

If you subscribe or otherwise lawfully receive campaign emails, you may receive campaign news, event information, volunteer opportunities, fundraising communications, and election-related updates. You may unsubscribe using the link provided in an email, when available, or by contacting us.

8. Privacy and Mobile Information

Information submitted through this website is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

Mobile telephone numbers, SMS opt-in data, and consent information will not be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. We may disclose mobile information to service providers only as needed to operate the messaging program, deliver requested messages, maintain consent and opt-out records, prevent misuse, or comply with law.

9. Campaign Contributions

Contributions may be processed through a third-party donation or payment platform and are subject to applicable federal, California, and local campaign-finance laws, including eligibility rules, contribution limits, prohibitions, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements.

When contributing, you may be required to certify that:

• The contribution is made from your own funds
• The contribution is not made in the name of another person
• You are legally eligible to contribute
• The contribution is not being reimbursed by another person or entity
• The information you provide is accurate and complete

The Committee may decline, return, or refund a contribution when required or permitted by law or when compliance information cannot be obtained or verified. Contributor information may be reported and publicly disclosed as required by law.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

This website may use or link to donation platforms, form providers, email and SMS services, social-media platforms, analytics services, news sources, and government websites. Third parties have their own terms and privacy policies. The Committee does not control and is not responsible for their availability, content, security, accuracy, or privacy practices.

A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of a third party or its content.

11. User Submissions

If you submit a message, comment, survey response, policy suggestion, photograph, testimonial, or other material, you represent that you have the right to submit it; it does not violate another person’s rights; and it is not unlawful, threatening, defamatory, fraudulent, intentionally misleading, or harmful to computer systems.

Submission does not guarantee publication, use, response, or retention. We will request appropriate permission before publicly identifying you with a testimonial or endorsement unless disclosure is otherwise authorized or required by law.

12. Political and Campaign Communications

Communications from the website or Committee may contain political, campaign, election-related, fundraising, or public-policy content. Committee identification, “paid for by” statements, FPPC identification, and other disclosures should be read with the communication on which they appear.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Committee’s total liability for claims arising solely from your use of this website will not exceed $100.

These limitations do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, violations of law, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

16. Responsibility for Misuse

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Committee and its candidate, officers, volunteers, employees, and contractors from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable legal expenses arising from:

• Your unlawful or unauthorized use of the website
• Material you submit in violation of another person’s rights

This is not an official government election website. For official voter registration, ballot eligibility, voting locations, election deadlines, and election results, consult the Orange County Registrar of Voters, the Irvine City Clerk, or another appropriate government authority.

These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the applicable agreement between you and the Committee concerning use of this website. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.

A failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later. These Terms do not create rights for any third-party beneficiary. Section headings are provided for convenience and do not limit the meaning of these Terms.
