MANDATORY NOTICE AND CONSENT PROVISION FOR ALL DOD INFORMATION SYSTEM USER AGREEMENTS
 **By clicking the Consent button on the prior page to enter the system, you acknowledge:** You are accessing a U.S. Government (USG) information system (IS)
				        (which includes any device attached to this information system) that is
				        provided for U.S. Government-authorized use only.
				    You consent to the following conditions
				    The U.S. Government routinely intercepts and monitors
				            communications on this information system for purposes including,
				            but not limited to, penetration testing, communications security
				            (COMSEC) monitoring, network operations and defense, personnel
				            misconduct (PM), law enforcement (LE), and counterintelligence (CI)
				            investigations.
				        At any time, the U.S. Government may inspect and seize data stored
				            on this information system.
				        Communications using, or data stored on, this information system
				            are not private, are subject to routine monitoring, interception,
				            and search, and may be disclosed or used for any U.S.
				            Government-authorized purpose.
				        This information system includes security measures (e.g.,
				            authentication and access controls) to protect U.S. Government
				            interests -- not for your personal benefit or privacy.
				        Notwithstanding the above, using an information system does not
				            constitute consent to personnel misconduct, law enforcement, or
				            counterintelligence investigative searching or monitoring of the
				            content of privileged communications or data (including work
				            product) that are related to personal representation or services by
				            attorneys, psychotherapists, or clergy, and their assistants. Under
				            these circumstances, such communications and work product are
				            private and confidential, as further explained below:
				        Nothing in this User Agreement shall be interpreted to limit
				                the user's consent to, or in any other way restrict or affect,
				                any U.S. Government actions for purposes of network
				                administration, operation, protection, or defense, or for
				                communications security. This includes all communications and
				                data on an information system, regardless of any applicable
				                privilege or confidentiality.
				            The user consents to interception/capture and seizure of ALL
				                communications and data for any authorized purpose (including
				                personnel misconduct, law enforcement, or counterintelligence
				                investigation). However, consent to interception/capture or
				                seizure of communications and data is not consent to the use of
				                privileged communications or data for personnel misconduct, law
				                enforcement, or counterintelligence investigation against any
				                party and does not negate any applicable privilege or
				                confidentiality that otherwise applies.
				            Whether any particular communication or data qualifies for the
				                protection of a privilege, or is covered by a duty of
				                confidentiality, is determined in accordance with established
				                legal standards and DoD policy. Users are strongly encouraged
				                to seek personal legal counsel on such matters prior to using
				                an information system if the user intends to rely on the
				                protections of a privilege or confidentiality.
				            Users should take reasonable steps to identify such
				                communications or data that the user asserts are protected by
				                any such privilege or confidentiality. However, the user's
				                identification or assertion of a privilege or confidentiality
				                is not sufficient to create such protection where none exists
				                under established legal standards and DoD policy.
				            A user's failure to take reasonable steps to identify such
				                communications or data as privileged or confidential does not
				                waive the privilege or confidentiality if such protections
				                otherwise exist under established legal standards and DoD
				                policy. However, in such cases the U.S. Government is
				                authorized to take reasonable actions to identify such
				                communication or data as being subject to a privilege or
				                confidentiality, and such actions do not negate any applicable
				                privilege or confidentiality.
				            These conditions preserve the confidentiality of the
				                communication or data, and the legal protections regarding the
				                use and disclosure of privileged information, and thus such
				                communications and data are private and confidential. Further,
				                the U.S. Government shall take all reasonable measures to
				                protect the content of captured/seized privileged
				                communications and data to ensure they are appropriately
				                protected.In cases when the user has consented to content searching or
				            monitoring of communications or data for personnel misconduct, law
				            enforcement, or counterintelligence investigative searching, (i.e.,
				            for all communications and data other than privileged
				            communications or data that are related to personal representation
				            or services by attorneys, psychotherapists, or clergy, and their
				            assistants), the U.S. Government may, solely at its discretion and
				            in accordance with DoD policy, elect to apply a privilege or other
				            restriction on the U.S. Government's otherwise authorized use or
				            disclosure of such information.
				        All of the above conditions apply regardless of whether the access or use
						    of an information system includes the display of a Notice and Consent
						    Banner ("banner"). When a banner is used, the banner functions to remind
						    the user of the conditions that are set forth in this User Agreement,
						    regardless of whether the banner describes these conditions in full detail
						    or provides a summary of such conditions, and regardless of whether the
						    banner expressly references this User Agreement.
