Membership applications and payments presented on this site are subject to federation review, fee schedules, and eligibility criteria published on the membership pages.

You are responsible for safeguarding login credentials for member features. Notify USOF promptly if you suspect unauthorized use of your account. Demo authentication on this prototype does not replace formal federation approval of membership.

USOF logos, branding, guides, templates, and site content are protected by applicable intellectual property laws unless otherwise noted. You may not copy, modify, or redistribute federation materials for commercial use without written permission.

Limited personal or organizational use of downloadable resources is permitted where each resource's license or guide page says so.

When you send messages, forms, or application data, you grant USOF a non-exclusive right to use that information to operate programs, respond to you, and maintain federation records.

You must provide accurate information and must not submit content that is defamatory, infringing, or violates others' rights.

The site may link to external websites or tools operated by partners, donors, or service providers. USOF is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those third parties. Review their terms and policies before use.
