Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Oroville Residents Directory. By continuing to the site, you accept them; do not use it if you disagree with these conditions.

1. The Nature of This Website

Oroville Residents Directory is a privately operated reference for the public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections connected with Oroville and Butte County, California. We describe and link to those sources, but we host no government records and have no affiliation with any office, court, or records custodian.


2. Permitted and Prohibited Uses

Use this website only for lawful purposes. You may not use the site or anything obtained through it to:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm another person
  • Locate a person protected by a restraining or protective order
  • Commit fraud or identity theft
  • Use a result for an FCRA-regulated decision involving credit, employment, tenant, or insurance matters
  • Scrape, copy, or republish site content on a large scale
  • Disrupt the site's operation or security

3. FCRA Status

Oroville Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq., defines that term. Our pages and any result returned by a linked search tool are not consumer reports. They must not be used to evaluate eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the FCRA.


4. External Links and Services

Government portals and outside services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control or assume responsibility for their content, availability, prices, or data practices.

Where California consumer-privacy law applies, the California Consumer Privacy Act/CPRA, Civil Code §§1798.100 et seq., may provide rights for covered information subject to statutory exceptions. The Privacy Policy describes the limited data this site handles.


5. No Warranty

The website is supplied "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that its information is accurate, complete, or current, or that an outside portal will function or produce a correct result.


6. Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site's operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of this site or a linked resource, including a decision based on a record found through it.


7. Your Indemnification Obligation

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site's operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that result from your misuse of the site or breach of these terms.


8. Copyright and Site Materials

The site's original writing, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. You may link to a page and quote brief, attributed excerpts; republishing complete pages or copying the material systematically is not permitted.


9. Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these terms by publishing a replacement version on this page. Use of the site after a revision is posted constitutes acceptance of the new version.


10. Restricting Access

At our discretion, and without advance notice, we may block or limit access for a user who violates these terms or abuses the website.


11. California Governing Law

California law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The California Public Records Act (CPRA), Government Code §§7920.000-7931.000, governs access requests directed to California public agencies; it does not make this private website a records custodian or expand the records we can provide.


12. Severability

If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
