Terms of Use

These terms apply when you use Chatham County Residents Directory. By continuing, you agree to them. If you disagree, do not use the service.

1. What This Website Is

Chatham County Residents Directory is a privately run reference to public rolls, official indexes and historical collections concerning Chatham County, Georgia. It neither hosts government records nor represents any office, court or records 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

Separate terms and privacy policies govern government portals, sponsored search tools and other linked services. Their content, uptime, prices and handling of data are outside our control.


5. Service Without Warranties

The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We make no promise that its contents are accurate, complete or current, or that an outside portal will remain available or produce a correct result.


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. Site Materials

Copyright protects the original writing, design, logo and layout. You may link to pages or quote a short passage with attribution. Republishing whole pages or copying the service systematically is prohibited.


9. Updates to the Terms

A revised version may be posted here from time to time. Using the service after an update indicates acceptance of the new terms.


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. References to public access follow the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq.; that statute governs custodians, not this private reference site.


12. Severability

If any part of these terms proves unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
