Terms of Service Agreements with New Media Providers
A coalition of federal agencies (led by GSA's Office of Citizen Services) has been working on Terms of Service agreements with a broad range of social media providers who offer free services to users. The objective is to resolve issues with the existing standard Terms of Service (TOS) that are problematic to federal agencies. Having these agreements means that, if a federal agency chooses to use various social media sites, they won't have to start from scratch on negotiating a special TOS.
We're negotiating tailored TOS with a broad range of providers, including YouTube, Flickr, Blip.tv, Yahoo Video, Vimeo, Facebook, MySpace, iTunes, Blist, and others.
If you're at a federal agency, you need to work with your agency attorneys and any other key stakeholders to be sure your agency can agree to the legal provisions of each agreement.
