About SBWPC

Our content
The text, photos, logo and design of this site belong to SBWPC or the people who let us use them. You may quote short passages and share links with credit to SBWPC. For anything more, such as using our logo or photos, email info@sbwpc.org first.
Photos of SBWPC events may show members and guests. If you appear in a photo and want it removed, email us and we will take it down.
Endorsements and election information
Our endorsements reflect the decisions of SBWPC under our endorsement process. They are not endorsed by, or made on behalf of, any candidate or campaign.
We work to keep election dates, results and voting information accurate, but they can change. Always confirm deadlines and voting details with the California Secretary of State (opens in a new tab) or the Santa Barbara County Elections Office (opens in a new tab) before relying on them. Results we post are unofficial until they are certified.
Contributions and membership
When you give or join through our forms, you confirm that:
- The money is your own and is not being given to you by anyone else to contribute in your name
- You are a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident
- The information you give, including your occupation and employer, is true and complete
- You understand that contributions of $100 or more are reported to the state by law and become public, as explained in our Privacy Policy
Contributions and dues are not tax deductible.
Refunds. If you gave by mistake or the amount was wrong, email info@sbwpc.org as soon as possible. We will review the request, and any refund is handled as campaign finance law requires.
[SBWPC to confirm: refund policy and the time limit for refund requests.]
Things you send us
When you submit an endorsement request, comment or other material, you confirm that it is accurate and that you have the right to share it. You let SBWPC use it for the purpose you sent it for, such as reviewing an endorsement request.
Other websites and services
Our site links to and embeds services run by others, such as JotForm, PayPal, Constant Contact, Google and YouTube. We do not control them, and their own terms and privacy policies apply when you use them. A link to another site does not mean we endorse it.
No warranties
We provide this site "as is." We do our best to keep it accurate and available, but we do not promise that it will always be complete, current, error free or online.
Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, SBWPC and its board, members and volunteers are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss that comes from using this site or relying on its content. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under law that cannot be waived.
Governing law
These terms are governed by California law. Any dispute about them or this site will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Santa Barbara County, California.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
