1. Purpose of This Website
Monroe Residents Directory is a privately run reference to public-source routes and historical directory collections in Monroe County, New York. It links to records indexes and explains their limitations. The site does not host government records and is not connected with any government office, court, library, or custodian.
2. Permitted Use

3. Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Monroe Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Nothing on this site, or returned by a linked search tool, is a consumer report. It may not be used to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, tenant screening, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.
4. Outside Services
Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control their content, availability, charges, or data practices.
5. No Warranties
The site is offered "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that information is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will remain available or return correct results.
6. Liability Limits
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this site or a linked resource, including decisions based on records located through them.

10. Restricting Access
We may block or limit access, without notice and at our discretion, for a user who violates these terms or abuses the site.
11. New York Law
New York law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law §§84–90, governs requests to agencies, while Judiciary Law §255 governs court-file searches and copies. New York's Personal Privacy Protection Law appears in Public Officers Law Article 6-A; these statutes do not make this private site a government custodian.
