1. Nature of the Reference
Butte County Residents Directory is privately operated reference material. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and historical collections concerning current or past residents of Butte County, California. No government record is hosted here, and the service is independent of every office, court, library, and custodian it names.
2. Acceptable Use
Use the pages and any linked material only for lawful, respectful purposes. You may not use the service 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 involving credit, employment, tenant, or insurance matters
- Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
- Interfere with the site's operation or security
3. No Consumer Report
Neither this service nor its operator is a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq. The pages and linked search results are not consumer reports and may not be used to assess eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose covered by the FCRA.
4. External Links and Services
Government portals, libraries, archives, and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own terms and privacy rules. Butte County Residents Directory does not control their content, uptime, charges, or data practices.
5. Disclaimers of Warranty
The service is supplied "as is" and "as available" without warranties. No promise is made that a page is accurate, complete, current, or free of error, or that an outside portal will function or return a correct result.
6. Liability Limits
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from the pages or a linked resource, including a decision based on a record reached through them.
7. Your Responsibility
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorney fees, that result from misuse of the service or a violation of these terms.
8. Original Material
The original writing, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Links and brief attributed quotations are welcome. Republishing full pages or copying the material systematically is not permitted.
9. Changes to the Terms
A revised version may be posted at any time. Continued use after the new version appears means that the updated terms are accepted.
10. Restricting Access
Access may be blocked or limited for a user who violates these terms or abuses the service, at the operator's discretion and without advance notice.
11. California Law
California law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The California Public Records Act, Government Code §§7920.000-7931.000, applies to government records linked from the reference, while the California Consumer Privacy Act and CPRA amendments, Civil Code §1798.100 et seq., address covered consumer-data rights. Those statutes do not turn this private service into a records custodian.
12. Severability
If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
