1. About This Reference
Santa Clara County Residents Directory is a private reference that describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections concerning people who live or have lived in Santa Clara County, California. It does not host government records and is independent of every office, court, and records custodian.

3. No Consumer Reporting Agency
This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither its text nor a result from a linked search tool is a consumer report, and neither may be used to assess eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.
4. External Links
Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, set their own terms and privacy rules. Santa Clara County Residents Directory is not responsible for an outside service's content, availability, prices, or data handling.
5. No Warranties
The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. No promise is made that a page is accurate, complete, or current, or that an outside portal will operate or return a correct result.
6. Liability Limits
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of these pages or a linked resource, including a decision based on a record located through them.
7. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the operators harmless from a claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that results from your misuse of the service or breach of these terms.
8. Intellectual Property
The original writing, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a short attributed excerpt is welcome; republishing full pages or copying the material systematically is not.
9. Changes
A revised version may be posted here at any time. Use after the revision is posted means that the revised terms are accepted.
10. Access Restrictions
Access may be blocked or limited for a user who violates these terms or abuses the service, at the operators' discretion and without prior notice.
11. Governing Law
California law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The California Public Records Act, Government Code §§7920.000 et seq., describes access to many state and local records, but it does not turn this private reference into a records custodian or override a separate confidentiality rule.
12. Severability
If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
