Terms of Use

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

1. Nature of the Website

DuPage County Residents Directory is a private reference that describes and links to public rolls, indexes, and historical collections concerning DuPage County, Illinois. It does not host government records and is not connected with a public office, court, 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

  • 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. ยง 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

Public portals, sponsored search tools, and other outside services apply their own terms and privacy practices. Their availability, charges, content, and handling of data are outside our control.


5. Warranty Disclaimer

The service is offered "as is" and "as available," without warranties. We do not promise complete, current, or error-free information, nor do we guarantee that an outside portal will function or produce accurate results.


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. Revisions to These Terms

A revised version may be posted here. Using the service afterward signifies acceptance of the updated terms.


10. Restricting Access

We may limit or block access, without notice, when a user abuses the service or violates these terms.


11. Governing Law

Illinois law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. References to public access concern the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140; that statute governs requests to public bodies and does not make this private site a records custodian.


12. Severability

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