Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Opelika Residents Directory. By continuing, you accept them. If you disagree, do not use the service.

1. Nature of the Service

Opelika Residents Directory is an independent reference that describes and links to public rolls, indexes, and historical collections concerning Opelika, Alabama. We do not host the underlying government files and have no connection to an agency, court, library, or records custodian.


2. Acceptable Use Rules

Only lawful use is permitted. Neither the service nor information reached through it may be used 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. No Consumer Reports

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Content here and results from a linked tool are not consumer reports. They cannot be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose governed by the FCRA.


4. External Services

Government portals, archives, and outside providers, including sponsored tools, operate under separate terms and privacy policies. Their content, availability, fees, and data practices remain outside our control.


5. Warranty Disclaimer

The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties. We do not guarantee that a page is accurate, complete, or current, or that an Opelika, Lee County, Alabama, or third-party portal will remain available or return a correct result.


6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss arising from use of the service or a linked resource, including reliance on any record.


7. Your Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold the service operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, caused by misuse of the service or breach of these terms.


8. Site Intellectual Property

Copyright protects the original writing, design, logo, and layout. You may link to a page or quote a short passage with attribution, but full-page republication and systematic copying are prohibited.


9. Updates to the Terms

A revised version may be posted here. Continued use after it appears means you accept the revision.


10. Restricting Access

We may restrict or block a user who abuses the service or violates these terms, with or without notice.


11. Alabama Governing Law

Alabama law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Public access references include the Alabama Open Records Act, Ala. Code §§36-12-40 to -41, but that statute governs access from custodians and does not turn this private service into a government records office.


12. Severability

If one provision cannot be enforced, every remaining provision continues in effect.
