Terms of Use
By using this website you agree to these terms.
Effective November 10, 2026.
1. Who we are
This website is run by Community Search Network ("CSN," "we," "us"), a Virginia nonprofit corporation.
2. Not an emergency service
CSN is not a law enforcement or emergency agency and cannot dispatch help. If someone is missing or in danger, call 911.
3. General information only
The information on this site is meant to build general understanding. It is not professional, medical, legal or law enforcement training or advice. In any real situation, follow the directions of 911, police and search leaders. Reading this site or signing up does not make you a CSN volunteer; that happens only when CSN confirms it in writing.
4. Taking part in a search
By joining in a CSN-involved search, you agree to work as a team, to follow the directions of search leaders and law enforcement, and to cooperate with CSN and law enforcement during the search and afterward, including answering questions about what you saw or found.
5. Links to other organizations
We link to trainings and resources from other organizations. They run their own websites and courses, and set their own prices, schedules and policies. A listing is not an endorsement or a guarantee, and CSN is not responsible for their content or services.
6. Using this site
You agree to give accurate information on our forms, and not to misuse the site, interfere with it, copy it in bulk by automated means, or use it to harass, track or locate any person.
7. Our name and content
The Community Search Network name, logo and website content belong to CSN. You are welcome to share links to our pages. Please ask before using our name or logo in any other way.
8. Text messages and privacy
Text messages are covered by our SMS Terms. Personal information is covered by our Privacy Policy.
9. No warranties
We work to keep this site accurate and available, but it is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows.
10. Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, CSN and its directors, officers and volunteers are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content.
11. Governing law
Virginia law governs these terms. Any dispute will be heard in the state or federal courts serving Fairfax County, Virginia.
12. Changes
If we change these terms, we will post the new version here with a new effective date. Using the site after that means you accept the new terms.
