Terms of Use

Last updated: September 8, 2026

Poliscopic monitors public meetings and government records so readers can understand the decisions shaping their communities. These terms keep that service simple, honest, and usable.

1. What Poliscopic is

Poliscopic publishes reporting, summaries, and links derived from public meetings, agendas, and government records — primarily for Maricopa County and the municipalities within it. The underlying records are public; our reporting, analysis, and presentation are our own work.

2. Permitted use

You may read, share, and link to Poliscopic content for personal and non-commercial purposes. We ask that you credit Poliscopic when you share our reporting and do not misrepresent it as your own or as an official government statement.

3. Accuracy disclaimer

We work from public meeting materials and make every effort to be accurate, but meetings, agendas, and records change, and summaries can miss nuance. Before relying on anything you read here for a decision — legal, financial, business, or civic — verify it against the official source linked in our articles. Nothing on Poliscopic is legal, financial, or professional advice.

4. Public records and copyright

Government meeting materials are public records. Poliscopic's own articles, images, and site content are protected by copyright and may not be reproduced wholesale or commercially without permission.

5. Fair use of the site

Please don't disrupt the site — no automated scraping that burdens the servers, no attempts to access restricted areas, and no use that interferes with other readers. Reasonable personal browsing is always welcome.

6. No warranty, limited liability

Poliscopic is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Poliscopic is not liable for damages arising from use of the site or reliance on its content. If a jurisdiction doesn't allow a limitation like this, that part doesn't apply to you.

7. Changes and contact

We may update these terms as the site evolves; changes take effect when posted. Questions? Email contact@poliscopic.com.
