Terms of use
Terms current September 17, 2026
EO Explained is a free, independent reading aid. You may browse, link to and quote from the site, but official documents remain the authority and the site must not be presented as government guidance or legal advice.
Information, not legal advice
The site explains executive orders and later developments for general information. It does not create a professional relationship, replace an official source or provide advice for a particular person or situation. For decisions affecting rights, duties, benefits or deadlines, check the newest official material and seek qualified advice where appropriate.
Using and referring to the site
You may link to EO Explained and make reasonable quotations with clear attribution. Do not imply that EO Explained, the White House or another government body endorses your use. Do not remove source attributions, research-level labels, review dates or qualifications when reproducing an extract.
Accuracy, dates and availability
The project uses a source-led process and publishes review dates, but executive orders, implementation and litigation can change after a page is checked. No promise is made that every page is complete, current for a particular purpose or continuously available. Suspected errors should be reported through the corrections guidance.
External sources and privacy
Links to official, court and other third-party sites are provided for verification and context. EO Explained does not control their content, availability, privacy or accessibility practices. The privacy notice explains browser storage, hosting data, advertising technology and consent choices.
Responsible access
Do not interfere with the site, bypass security measures or use automated requests in a way that materially degrades access for other visitors. These terms do not restrict rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.
Changes and questions
Material changes to these terms will be dated on this page. Accessibility barriers can be described using the accessibility statement; factual concerns use the corrections guidance. A dedicated public contact address is not yet active, so the site does not claim that email or form submissions are currently available.
Using and citing the site
You may link to EO Explained and quote short portions of its explanations with clear attribution. Do not present a guide, status label, or illustration as an official statement by the U.S. government. Official order texts, statutes, Federal Register entries, agency notices, and court opinions remain the authoritative records. If you reproduce a guide, keep its date and source context so readers can distinguish the explanation from the underlying government document.
The site and its explanations are provided for general information. They may contain errors or become outdated as presidents issue new orders, agencies act, or courts decide cases. No guide creates a professional relationship or guarantees a legal outcome. You are responsible for checking official sources before relying on information for legal, financial, employment, compliance, or operational decisions.
EO Explained may update wording, links, status descriptions, and site features as evidence changes. Material factual revisions are recorded in the version history and corrections log. Advertising is served through Google AdSense only; there are no affiliate links or paid order guides. See the privacy policy for details on data and advertising practices.
