We reserve the right to refuse or terminate volunteer participation at any time for any reason, including violation of these terms, conduct that reflects poorly on the campaign, failure to follow instructions or campaign policies, or any behavior we deem inappropriate or harmful to the campaign. Volunteers are not employees of the campaign and are not entitled to compensation, benefits, or reimbursement unless specifically agreed upon in writing.

The value of volunteer time and services is not considered a contribution under campaign finance law. However, any out-of-pocket expenses you incur while volunteering may be considered an in-kind contribution and may be subject to reporting requirements and contribution limits.
