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 Services
Government portals, sponsored search tools, and other third parties set their own terms and privacy rules. Their content, prices, availability, and data practices are outside our control.
5. No Warranties
The site is provided "as is" and "as available," with no warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that anything on the site is accurate, complete, or current, or that any linked portal will work or return correct results.
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.

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. Revisions to These Terms
A revised version may be posted here from time to time. Continued use after publication signals acceptance of the revision.
10. Cutting Off Access
We may block or restrict any user who violates these terms or abuses the site, at our discretion and without notice.
11. Indiana Governing Law
Indiana law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-record links and descriptions refer to the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, Indiana Code chapter 5-14-3, but that statute governs custodians rather than this private service.

If one provision cannot be enforced, every remaining provision continues in effect.
