Terms of Use

These terms set the conditions for using Dayton Residents Directory. By using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Nature of This Website

Dayton Residents Directory is a privately operated reference service. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections relevant to Dayton, Ohio. It does not host government records and has no affiliation with a public office, court, or records custodian.


2. Rules for Site Use

Use this service only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or information found through it, to:

  • Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Dayton Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. Neither this site nor any result from a linked search service is a consumer report. Nothing found through them may be used to assess eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.


4. External Links

Government portals and outside services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own policies and terms. We do not control or accept responsibility for their content, availability, pricing, 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 information is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will function or produce correct results.


6. Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages related to use of this site or an external resource, including decisions based on records located through them.

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


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting short attributed excerpts is permitted; full-page republication or systematic copying is not.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms by placing an updated version on this page. Continued use after a revision is acceptance of that version.


10. Restricting Access

We may block or limit access, without notice and in our discretion, for a person who violates these terms or misuses the service.


11. Governing Law

Ohio law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-office records linked from this site are subject to the Ohio Public Records Act, R.C. 149.43, including its exemptions and redaction rules; that statute does not make this private reference a government custodian.
