Neither the text here nor results returned by a linked tool are consumer reports. They may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the FCRA.
4. External Links and Tools
County and state portals, library services, archives, courts, and sponsored search tools operate under their own terms and policies. El Cerrito Residents Directory does not control their content, availability, price, results, or data handling. A link is an access pointer, not an endorsement or guarantee.
5. No Warranties
The pages are provided “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that information is accurate, complete, timely, or fit for a particular purpose, or that an outside portal will remain online, return a result, or display a complete record.
6. Liability Limits
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or similar damages arising from use of the reference or a linked resource, including action taken because of a record found through it.
7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold the operators harmless from a claim, demand, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that results from your misuse of the service or violation of these terms.
8. Intellectual Property
The original words, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a brief attributed excerpt is permitted. Full-page republication, systematic copying, and large-scale extraction are not.
9. Changes to These Terms
The operators may revise these terms by posting a replacement version. Continued use after a revision means that the updated terms are accepted.
10. Access Restrictions
Access may be blocked or limited for a person who violates these terms, abuses the pages, or threatens their security. A restriction may be imposed without advance notice.
11. Governing Law
California law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The California Public Records Act is codified at Government Code sections 7920.000 and following. California consumer-privacy duties, where applicable, include the Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act provisions in Civil Code sections 1798.100 and following. Those statutes govern public custodians and covered businesses in their own roles; they do not turn this private reference into a records custodian.
12. Severability
If a court finds one part of these terms unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
