Acceptance of Terms
By using GovLink, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.
Service Description
GovLink helps you find answers from official U.S. government sources. We're not a government agency — we're a tool to help you navigate government information.
No Legal Advice
GovLink does not provide legal, medical, financial, or professional advice. Information is for general educational purposes only. For decisions affecting your rights, benefits, or obligations, consult the relevant agency directly or a qualified professional.
Accuracy
We strive for accuracy by citing official .gov sources. However, government information changes. Always verify critical information on the official agency website linked in each answer.
Your Responsibilities
- Don't use GovLink for illegal activities
- Don't attempt to scrape, overload, or disrupt the service
- Don't submit personal identifiers (SSN, passwords, etc.) in questions
- Respect rate limits and API policies of underlying government services
Government API Terms
GovLink uses official government APIs. Your use is subject to their terms, which may include rate limits, attribution requirements, and usage restrictions.
No Warranty
GovLink is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or complete service.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, GovLink and its operators aren't liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages from your use of the service.
Changes
We may update these terms. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by U.S. federal law and the laws of the District of Columbia.
