1. About This Reference

3. No Consumer Reports
Illinois 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 results from linked search tools are consumer reports. Do not rely on them to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose covered by the FCRA.
4. Outside Links and Tools
State and county portals, libraries, and sponsored search services set their own terms. Illinois Residents Directory does not control outside content, fees, availability, or how another provider handles data.
5. No Warranty
The reference is supplied on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties. No promise is made that a page or outside portal is accurate, complete, current, available, or free of errors.
6. Liability Limits
As far as applicable law permits, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss tied to use of the site or an external resource, including an action taken based on a record found through a link.
7. Your Responsibility
You agree to protect and reimburse the site's operators for claims, demands, and reasonable legal fees that result from your misuse of the reference or breach of these terms.
8. Site Material
Original writing, design, logo, and page layout are protected by copyright. Readers may link to a page or quote a short passage with credit, but may not republish entire pages or systematically copy the material.
9. Term Updates
A revised version may be posted here from time to time. Continued use after the updated terms appear is acceptance of that version.
10. Access Restrictions
The operators may limit or end access for a user who breaks these terms or misuses the service, with or without advance notice.
11. Illinois Law
Illinois law governs these terms, without applying conflict-of-law rules. Where these pages describe public records, the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, supplies the state request framework; record-specific confidentiality statutes still control access.
12. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue to apply.
