Most Internet-based Capability (IbC) providers require acceptance of Terms of Service (ToS) agreements before activating accounts, however, standard ToS are often inappropriate for acceptance for official use by Department of Defense (DoD) employees and other authorized users. Therefore, the DoD only agrees to ToS that have been reviewed, modified if necessary, and approved for DoD-wide application by the DoD Chief Information Office (CIO). Review the template for establishing a ToS agreement for DoD usage.
