Terms of Use

These terms set the rules for using Lucas County Residents Directory. By using the site, you accept them. Do not use the site if you do not agree.

1. Nature of This Reference

Lucas County Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections connected with people who live or have lived in Lucas County, Ohio. It does not host government records and is not affiliated with a public office, court, or records custodian.


2. Lawful Use Rules

Use this site only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or information reached 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

Ohio law prohibits conduct including menacing by stalking under ORC 2903.211 and specified harassing or threatening electronic communications under ORC 2917.21. Public-record access does not permit monitoring, contact, or harm.


3. No Consumer Reporting Role

This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. Nothing on this site or returned through a linked search tool is a consumer report. It may not be used to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the FCRA.


4. External Services

Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own policies and terms. We are not responsible for their content, availability, prices, or data practices.


5. No Warranties

The site is offered "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that site content is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will operate or return correct results.


6. Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this site or a linked resource, including decisions based on records found through them.

You agree to indemnify and hold the site operators harmless 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 site's original text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a brief attributed excerpt is welcome. Republishing full pages or systematically copying content is not.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Continued use after a revision signifies acceptance.


10. Restricting Access

At our discretion and without notice, we may block or restrict a user who violates these terms or abuses the site.


11. Governing Law

Ohio law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Lucas County public-record access is addressed by the Ohio Public Records Act, ORC 149.43; that access right remains subject to record-specific exemptions and does not change these terms.


12. Severability

If one part of these terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect.
