Terms of Use

These terms apply to your use of Findlay Residents Directory. By using the service, you accept these terms. Do not use the service if you do not agree.

1. Nature of the Service

Findlay Residents Directory is a private reference service. It describes and links to public rolls, index systems, and directory collections relevant to Findlay, Ohio. It does not host government records and has no affiliation with a public office, court, library, or records custodian.


2. Lawful Use Rules

Use the service only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or material reached through it, to:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
  • Locate someone protected by a restraining or protective order
  • Commit identity theft or fraud
  • Make decisions regulated by the FCRA, including credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions
  • Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. Consumer Reporting Status

Findlay Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. Nothing here, or returned by a linked search tool, is a consumer report. It may not be used to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.


4. Outside Resources

Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control their content, availability, pricing, or data practices.


5. No Warranties

The service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that information is complete, accurate, or current, or that a linked portal will work or return correct results.


6. Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of the service or a linked resource, including decisions based on records reached through it.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the service operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that arise from your misuse of the service or a violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. You may link to pages and quote short excerpts with attribution. Republishing full pages or systematically copying content is prohibited.


9. Term Updates

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Continuing to use the service after a change means acceptance.


10. Restricting Access

We may block or limit access, without notice and at our discretion, for a person who violates these terms or abuses the service.


11. Governing Law

Ohio law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Ohio's public-record access statute is R.C. 149.43, the Ohio Public Records Act; it governs access to qualifying government records, not the operation of this private service.


12. Severability

If a provision of these terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
