4.2.14: Terms of Service / Terms of Use

Establish agreements between providers and the Government for Web 2.0 tool use

Other Information:

Terms of Service (TOS) and Terms of Use (TOU) establish the agreement between the provider and the Government for Web 2.0 tool use. Many provider terms of service agreements are not acceptable for Government use unless modified. The Government has negotiated common TOS with many, but not all Web 2.0 providers. Even when common terms have been negotiated, legal and CIO review must be obtained prior to use to ensure DOI policies and guidelines are not nullified or superseded by the TOS or TOU. To date, DOI has signed TOS agreements with YouTube, Flickr and Facebook.
