Terms of use

Effective November 7, 2026

QRvote is a free tool for informal, people’s-choice votes: fairs, contests, school events. By using it you agree to these terms.

What it’s for, and what it isn’t

It’s for informal contests. Don’t use it for government, union, shareholder or any other official or legally binding election.
The anti-cheat measures make cheating harder and easier to spot, but no online vote can be made cheat-proof. Results are provided as-is. Organizers decide the outcome of their own contests.
If your contest awards prizes, you’re responsible for following the contest and sweepstakes rules where you are.

Organizers

You’re responsible for what you post: contest text, entry names and photos.
Only upload photos you have the right to use, and get permission from the people in them (a parent’s or guardian’s for children).
Your organizer link is the only key to your contest. Keep it private. We can’t recover it or verify who you are.
If you connect an AI app or other software to your contest, or give it your organizer key, it acts for you: what it does is on you, the same as if you’d done it on the dashboard, including contests it creates for you. You can disconnect it any time.
On a Q&A, ideas board, nomination or wall, people post in your space. You decide what stays up: approve or hide posts from your dashboard, and act on reports. We step in on reports too.

Printed orders

Prints are made, sold and shipped by Zazzle, not by us. When you order, you buy from Zazzle under Zazzle’s terms: prices, payment, delivery, returns and refunds are theirs. We earn a share of each sale: Zazzle’s commission, and a royalty on our designs that is part of the price Zazzle shows you.
Arrival dates on the Print page are estimates. Order early, and check the preview on Zazzle before you pay.
The links for sheets of entry signs carry your entries’ scan codes. Anyone who has one could vote without going to the signs, so don’t share them; replacing an entry’s code retires the old link.
What you print is yours to have the right to print, the same as what you post here.

Everyone

Don’t try to vote more than your fair share, automate voting, get around the anti-cheat measures, or attack the service.
Don’t post anything illegal, hateful, harassing, or that infringes someone else’s rights.
If you post a question, idea, suggestion or message, you’re responsible for it. Keep it to the topic and don’t post anything illegal, hateful, harassing, private about someone else, or that infringes someone else’s rights.
What you post is shown to everyone who opens the page and on the event’s big screen. The organizer can hide it, and we can remove it.

Reporting and removal

Anyone can report a contest, entry or post with the “Report” link on its page. We may remove photos, hide entries or posts, or take down whole contests that break these terms, and we may void votes we believe are fraudulent. We report apparent child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and preserve it as the law requires. We don’t review content before it’s published, but our moderators may look at uploaded photos afterwards, whether or not anyone reported them.

No warranty and limitation of liability

The service is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, QRvote isn’t liable for any indirect or consequential damages, or for lost data, votes or results, arising from your use of the service.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. They are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA. Questions: legal@qrvote.org.
