CHAPTER 1. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

---

Subsection 1. Registration Information
Upon registering an account on the United States Defense Force forums, you agree to follow all regulations and procedures. Furthermore, all modern-day forums have the same administrative functions; the forum software provides members who have administrative access to members' IP addresses. This function is only viewable by:

• The Secretary of Defense (SecDef)
• The Deputy Secretary of Defense (DepSecDef)
• The National Security Advisor (NSA)

As part of our internal security initiative, the USDF employs numerous, legal and safe practices to uphold the safety of our organization. With that, through the forum admin panel, there is an option to show members who may have similar IP addresses. Those who match IP addresses may be questioned and monitored until a proper investigation is completed. This is only done to ensure there are no malicious individuals attempting to undermine our organization or threaten the safety of its personnel. At no time will your IP address be shared outside of the individuals listed above, and it will never be sold to nor shared with any foreign third parties and/or allies.

Subsection 2. Account Rights & Access
Upon registering an account on the United States Defense Force forums, you automatically agree to the USDF Registration Agreement. Furthermore, you are granted access (which can be revoked at anytime) to use said board, subject to and in accordance with our regulations and procedures while in active service of the United States Defense Force or if granted VIP status. The Office of the Secretary of Defense reserve the right to (within reason) restrict, disable or ban any forum account should they consider that:

• Our regulations and procedures have or may have been breached;
• There has been fraudulent, unlawful or abusive activity; or
• It is necessary in order to prevent and/or stop any harm or damage to the United States Defense Force, its personnel or forum guests (VIPs)
• Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you acknowledge and agree that these terms are non-negotiable or prone to editing without the explicit consent of the National Security Council in its entirety. Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that any form of account abuse and/or unauthorized access will subject the offender(s) to an immediate dishonorable discharge.

 
Subsection 3. VPNs and Proxies
Personnel wishing to use services such as a proxy or VPN, on our forums, are permitted to do so. The USDF always recommends our personnel take the necessary steps to ensure their personal safety is intact. However, if there is good reason to, such as if an individual was applying to a position with a high security clearance (or at the discretion of the SecDef, DepSecDef, or NSA), they will be requested to turn any IP-blocking services off temporarily. Please note that this is only a request. This means that you have the right to refuse to turn off these services; however, this may affect your standing for the position.

Note: The SecDef, DepSecDef, and NSA may compel a user to temporarily or permanently disable any VPN or Proxy software/tool they are using (within justifiable reason) for inspection or within the course of an investigation.
