Terms of Use

These terms set the conditions for using Oregon Residents Directory. By continuing to use the site, you agree to them; if you do not agree, stop using the site.

1. About This Reference

Oregon Residents Directory is a privately operated guide to public rolls, indexes, and historical collections relating to people who live or once lived in Oregon. Government records are not stored here, and the site is independent of every public office, court, and records custodian.


2. Permitted Use

You may use this site only in a lawful manner. You agree not to use the site or information 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. No Consumer Reports

Oregon Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.). Neither this site's material nor results from a linked search service are consumer reports, and they may not be used to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the FCRA.


4. Third-Party Websites

Oregon agency portals and other linked providers, including sponsored search services, operate under their own terms. We do not control or accept responsibility for their content, access, charges, or handling of information.


5. No Guarantee of Service or Accuracy

The site is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties. We make no promise that the information is complete, accurate, or current, or that an outside portal will remain available or produce a correct result.


6. Liability Limits

As far as applicable law permits, the site operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages tied to your use of this site or an external resource, including action taken based on a record you locate.


7. Responsibility for Misuse

You agree to protect and hold the site operators harmless from claims, demands, and reasonable legal fees that result from your misuse of the site or breach of these terms.


8. Site Content and Copyright

Copyright protects the site's original writing, design, logo, and layout. You may link to pages and quote short passages with attribution, but may not republish full pages or copy the material systematically.


9. Revisions

We can revise these terms by publishing an updated version on this page. Using the site after publication of a change indicates acceptance.


10. Suspension of Access

At our discretion, we may restrict or block access for a person who breaks these terms or misuses the site, with or without prior notice.


11. Oregon Law

Oregon law governs these terms, without applying its conflict-of-law rules. Public-record access is addressed by ORS 192.311–192.478; its disclosure rules and exemptions apply to government records held by custodians, not records hosted on this site.


12. Severability

If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply.
