Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Mobile Residents Directory. By continuing, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Nature of the Service

Mobile Residents Directory is an independent reference that describes and links to public rolls, indexes, and directory collections associated with Mobile, Alabama. We host no government record and are not affiliated with any agency, court, library, or records custodian.


2. Acceptable Use Rules

Use is limited to lawful purposes. Neither the service nor information reached 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. 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. § 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

Separate terms and privacy policies govern government portals, sponsored search tools, and other linked services. Their content, uptime, fees, and handling of data are outside our control.


5. Warranty Disclaimer

The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties. We make no promise that content is complete, accurate, or current, or that a linked records portal will remain available or produce a correct result.


6. Liability Limits

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages tied to use of the service or a linked resource, including reliance on a record reached 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 Rights

Copyright protects the original text, design, logo, and layout. You may link to a page or quote a brief passage with attribution, but may not republish full pages or systematically copy the service.


9. Revisions to These Terms

A revised version may be posted here. Use after publication of a revision signals acceptance.


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. Governing Law

Alabama law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-record access referenced by Mobile pages arises chiefly under the Alabama Open Records Law, Ala. Code §§36-12-40 to -47, subject to its exceptions and custodian procedures.


12. Severability

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