1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using USFederalJobs, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and all applicable laws and regulations. If you disagree with any part of these terms, you are prohibited from accessing or using this site.

2. Intellectual Property

The visual design, brand assets, custom code, layout system, and interactive components of USFederalJobs are the exclusive intellectual property of the website owner.

However, the raw data powering our services—specifically federal salary tables, locality boundaries, qualification standards, and active job openings—is sourced from the public domain (via the Office of Personnel Management and USAJOBS). You are free to query, utilize, and reference such public domain data according to OPM guidelines.

3. Use License & Acceptable Conduct

We grant you a temporary, personal, non-commercial license to access the content and calculators on USFederalJobs. Under this license, you agree not to:

  • Use any scraper, spider, robot, or automated script to systematically download or index our visual tools or layout structures in a way that places an unreasonable load on our hosting infrastructure.
  • Attempt to decompile, reverse-engineer, or bypass any security features built into our search proxies or calculators.
  • Use our contact form or tools to distribute spam, malware, or abusive content.

4. Calculators and Data Disclaimer

IMPORTANT: The calculators, map summaries, pension estimates, and pay scales provided on USFederalJobs are for informational and general educational purposes only.

While we make every effort to incorporate the most up-to-date GS adjustments and retirement formulas published by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), our tools do not constitute legal, financial, career, or tax advice.

  • Individual employee pay depends on specific hiring agency credentials, step schedules, shifts, premium pays, and legislative updates.
  • FERS pension calculations depend on highly customized credit parameters, high-3 adjustments, military service buys, and specific age rules.
  • Official salary calculations and career offers are generated solely by the employing federal agency and OPM. You should consult with your agency HR representative for official guidance.

5. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall USFederalJobs or its creators be held liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data, loss of wages, or career setbacks) arising out of the use or inability to use our tools, even if we have been notified of the possibility of such damage.

6. External Links

USFederalJobs contains links to external, third-party sites (such as OPM.gov, USAJOBS.gov, and various federal department subdomains). We do not control or endorse the content of these sites and are not responsible for their availability, policies, or practices.

7. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms and Conditions at any time. When we make updates, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
