Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Quincy Residents Directory. By continuing to use it, you agree to these conditions. If you disagree, do not use the service.

1. Nature of This Website

Quincy Residents Directory is an independently operated reference. It describes public rolls, indexes, and directory collections concerning Quincy, Illinois, and links readers to their custodians. No government records are hosted here, and the service has no connection to an agency, court, or records office.


2. Rules for Using This Site

Use the site only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or anything found through it, to:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person

  • 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. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq.). Nothing here, and nothing any linked search tool returns, is a consumer report, and none of it may be used to judge eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-covered purpose.


4. External Websites

Government portals and outside services, including sponsored search providers, operate under their own terms and privacy rules. Their content, uptime, prices, and handling of data are outside our control.


5. No Warranties

The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We make no promise that its content will always be accurate, complete, or current, or that an external portal will remain available or return a correct result.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, we are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this site or any linked resource, including decisions made from records found through it.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operators of this site from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, design, logo, and layout of this site are protected by copyright. Linking to any page and quoting brief excerpts with attribution is welcome; republishing full pages or systematically copying content is not.


9. Changes to These Terms

A revised version may be posted here when these terms change. Use of the service after publication of a revision constitutes acceptance.


10. Restricting Access

Access may be blocked or limited, without notice and at our discretion, when a user abuses the service or violates these terms.


11. Governing Law

Illinois law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-record access described in the directory remains subject to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, and to the exemptions and procedures applied by the relevant custodian.


12. Severability

If any part of these terms proves unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
