Terms of Use

These terms apply to DeKalb County Residents Directory. By using the site, you accept them; otherwise, discontinue use.

1. The Site's Purpose

DeKalb County Residents Directory is a private reference to public rolls, indexes, and historical collections concerning DeKalb County, Georgia. It does not host government records and is not affiliated with any office, court, library, or custodian.


2. Rules for Using This Site

Use the site only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or anything found 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 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. External Services

Official portals, sponsored search tools, and other third-party services operate under their own terms. Their content, availability, charges, and data practices remain outside our control.


5. No Warranty

The site is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties. Accuracy, completeness, currency, portal availability, and the correctness of external results are not guaranteed.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, we are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this site or any linked resource, including decisions made from records found through it.


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

The original text, design, logo, and layout of this site are protected by copyright. Linking to any page and quoting brief excerpts with attribution is welcome; republishing full pages or systematically copying content is not.


9. Updates to the Terms

A revised version may be posted here. Continued use after publication constitutes acceptance of the revision.


10. Cutting Off Access

We may block or restrict any user who violates these terms or abuses the site, at our discretion and without notice.


11. Governing Law

Georgia law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Access to Georgia agency records is addressed by the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §§50-18-70 through 50-18-77; that law does not make this private site a records custodian.


12. Severability

If one provision cannot be enforced, all remaining provisions continue in effect.
