These terms apply to Auburn Residents Directory. By using the site, you agree to them. Please leave the site if you do not accept them.

1. Nature of the Site

Auburn Residents Directory is a private reference that describes and links to public rolls, indexes, and historical collections concerning Auburn, Alabama. No government records are hosted here, and the site has no affiliation with a public office, court, library, or custodian.


2. Acceptable Use

Use is limited to lawful purposes. Neither the site nor information reached through it may be used to:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person

  • Make FCRA-regulated decisions (credit, employment, tenant, insurance)
  • Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.). Nothing here, and nothing any linked search tool returns, is a consumer report, and none of it may be used to judge eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-covered purpose.


4. Links to Outside Sites

Outside government portals, archives, and sponsored search services apply their own terms and policies. Their content, uptime, prices, and data practices are outside our control.


5. Warranty Disclaimer

The site is offered “as is” and “as available” without warranties. Accuracy, completeness, timeliness, linked-portal operation, and search-result correctness are not guaranteed.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages tied to use of this site or a linked resource, including reliance on a record.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operators of this site from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

Copyright protects the original text, layout, logo, and design. Links and brief attributed quotations are welcome. Full-page republication and systematic copying are prohibited.


9. Changes to These Terms

A revised version may be posted here. Continued use after posting means the revision is accepted.


10. Restricting Access

Access may be blocked or limited, without notice, when a user abuses the service or violates these terms.


11. Governing Law

Alabama law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Government-record access referenced in the content is governed in part by the Alabama Open Records Act, Ala. Code §§ 36-12-40 through 36-12-41, along with more specific confidentiality laws.
