1. About This Reference
Wisconsin Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections that may help readers study current or past records in Wisconsin. The site stores no government record and is not part of any government office, court, library, or records custodian.
2. Lawful Use Rules
Use this reference only in lawful ways. You may not use the site or information found through it to:
- Stalk, threaten, intimidate, harass, or injure another person
- Find a person who is protected by a restraining or protective order
- Carry out fraud or identity theft
- Make a decision governed by the FCRA
- Systematically scrape, copy, or republish site content
- Disrupt site security or normal operation
3. No Consumer Reports
Wisconsin Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.). Neither its content nor results from a linked search tool are consumer reports. They may not be used to decide eligibility for a purpose covered by that federal law.
4. External Services
State and county portals, libraries, and outside search companies set their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control their content, service, fees, or data handling.
5. No Warranty
This reference is supplied "as is" and "as available," without warranties. We do not promise that site content is accurate, complete, or current, or that an outside portal will remain online or produce a correct result.
6. Liability Limits
As far as applicable law allows, the site operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss arising from use of this reference or an external resource, including a choice made after finding a record.
7. Responsibility for Claims
You agree to protect and hold the site operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that result from your misuse of the site or breach of these Terms.
8. Site Material
Copyright protects the site's original writing, design, logo, and layout. Links and brief attributed quotations are welcome, but full-page republication or systematic copying is not permitted.
9. Revisions
We may revise these Terms by publishing an updated copy here. Continued use after that posting means you accept the change.
10. Restricted Access
We may limit or end access, with or without notice, for a person who breaks these Terms or abuses the site.
11. Wisconsin Law
Wisconsin law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The Wisconsin Public Records Law public-access provisions in Wis. Stat. §§ 19.31-19.39, including § 19.35 on access and fees, govern qualifying requests to Wisconsin public authorities; § 19.21 addresses local-government record retention. These provisions do not make this private reference the custodian of an official record.
12. Severability
If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply.
