Negotiated Terms of Service Agreements
Before you decide to use a tool, seek the advice of your agency Terms of Service (TOS) Point of Contact (POC) to be sure your agency has already signed a federal–compatible TOS, the product supports your broader agency mission and goals, and that the TOS is legally appropriate for use by your agency. See complete implementation guidance on the main Terms of Service page. |
Here's the list of tools that have federal–compatible Terms of Service agreements. Keep in mind that even though a tool may be on the list, your agency may not have a signed TOS for that tool.
