Terms of Use

These terms set the conditions for using Marblehead Residents Directory. By using the service, you accept them. Do not use the service if you do not agree.

1. Nature of This Service

Marblehead Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections connected with Marblehead, Massachusetts. It does not host government records and has no affiliation with an office, court, or records custodian.


2. Permitted Use

Use the service only for lawful purposes. Neither the service nor information found 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. Consumer-Report Status

This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Nothing here or returned by a linked search tool is a consumer report. It may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.


4. External Links

Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own terms and policies. We do not control their content, availability, pricing, or data practices.


5. No Warranty

The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that content is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will operate or return correct results.


6. Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this service or a linked resource, including decisions based on records found through it.


7. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold the service operators harmless from a claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that arises from misuse of the service or a violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a brief attributed excerpt is permitted. Republishing full pages or systematically copying content is not.


9. Term Updates

We may post a revised version of these terms here. Continued use after the revision signifies acceptance.


10. Access Restrictions

We may block or restrict a user who violates these terms or abuses the service, at our discretion and without notice.


11. Governing Law

Massachusetts law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c. 66, § 10, governs access requests made to the relevant public custodian; it does not make this private reference a government office.


12. Severability

If one part of these terms is unenforceable, the remaining parts continue in force.
