OpenCity provides searchable, AI-generated transcripts of public government meetings, synchronized video playback, issue tracking, development activity feeds, email alerts, and related civic information tools. The underlying video and document content is sourced from official city and state public records.

The design, code, and compilation of the Service are owned by OpenCity or its licensors. Public meeting content (video, audio, and official documents) remains the property of the respective government entities and is generally in the public domain or used under applicable open records laws.
The Service embeds or links to YouTube (Google), city websites, search providers, email platforms, and other third-party services. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third parties.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OPEN CITY AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE; (B) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY; OR (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any legal action arising out of or relating to these Terms must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Utah.
We may revise these Terms at any time. The “Effective” date above will be updated. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
