Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Richmond Residents Directory. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.

1. What This Website Is

Richmond Residents Directory is a private reference to public rolls, indexes, and collections concerning Richmond, Kentucky. It neither hosts government records nor represents Madison County, a court, an agency, or another custodian.

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
  • Locate someone protected by a restraining or protective order

  • 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

Richmond Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. Neither its content nor linked search results are consumer reports, and they may not support credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-regulated decision.


4. Links to Outside Sites

Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, have their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for their content, availability, pricing, or data practices.


5. Warranty Disclaimer

The service is offered "as is" and "as available," without warranties. We do not promise that content is complete, accurate, or current, or that a linked portal will remain available or return a correct result.

Kentucky law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-record access discussed in the content is governed in relevant part by the Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, but those statutes do not make this private service a records custodian.
