1. About This Reference
Alabama Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes and links to public rolls, indexes, and historical collections that can help research people and addresses in Alabama. No government record is hosted here, and the reference is not affiliated with a public office, court, or records custodian.
2. Permitted and Prohibited Uses
Only use the site and information found through it in lawful ways. In particular, you must not:
- Follow, threaten, harass, intimidate, or harm someone
- Seek a person whose location is protected by a court order
- Use information to commit fraud or steal an identity
- Make a decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
- Copy or republish site material in bulk
- Disrupt the site's operation or security
3. No Consumer Reports
Alabama Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq.). Neither the material on this site nor results from a linked search tool are consumer reports. Do not use either to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose covered by the FCRA.
4. Outside Services
Government portals and third-party providers, including sponsored search tools, set their own conditions and privacy practices. Alabama Residents Directory does not control or warrant their content, uptime, prices, or handling of information.
5. No Promise of Accuracy
The reference is offered “as is” and “as available,” without a warranty. We cannot promise every detail is correct, complete, or current, or that a linked Alabama portal will work or return a matching record.
6. Limits on Liability
As far as the law permits, the operators are not responsible for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages tied to use of this site or an outside resource, including actions taken after reading a record.
7. Responsibility for Misuse
You agree to protect the site's operators from claims, demands, and reasonable legal fees caused by your unlawful use of the reference or breach of these terms.
8. Copyright and Reuse
Copyright protects the site's original writing, design, logo, and layout. You may link to a page or quote a short passage with credit; reposting full pages or copying the site systematically is not allowed.
9. Revisions
A revised version takes effect when posted here. Continued use after that date signals acceptance of the changes.
10. Restricting Access
Access may be blocked or limited, without advance notice, when someone misuses the site or violates these terms.
11. Alabama Law Applies
Alabama law governs these terms, without applying its conflict-of-law rules. Alabama's Open Records Law, Ala. Code §36-12-40, sets a public-records baseline subject to exceptions. Executive-branch requests also follow Ala. Code §§36-12-43 through 36-12-45 and Executive Order 734; county, municipal, and court access rules can differ.
12. Terms That Cannot Be Enforced
If a court finds one part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts continue to apply.
