Terms of Use

These conditions apply whenever you use Dalton Residents Directory. Continuing to browse means you accept them; otherwise, do not use the service.

1. Nature of This Reference

Dalton Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes public rolls, indexes, and historical collections associated with Dalton, Georgia, but stores no government record and is not affiliated with an agency, court, library, or custodian.


2. Permitted and Prohibited Use

Every visit and search must serve a lawful purpose. 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 Resources

Linked government portals, sponsored search providers, and other outside services apply their own policies and terms. Their availability, prices, content, and handling of data remain their responsibility.


5. Warranty Disclaimer

The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without a warranty. No promise is made that its information will be current, complete, or accurate, or that an outside portal will remain available or produce a correct match.


6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss tied to use of the service, an external resource, or a decision based on a retrieved record.


7. Your Responsibility for Claims

You agree to indemnify and hold the operators harmless from claims and demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that arise from misuse of the service or a breach of these conditions.


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, design, logo, and layout of this site are protected by copyright. Linking to any page and quoting brief excerpts with attribution is welcome; republishing full pages or systematically copying content is not.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms by posting a new version here. Continued use after a change means 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. Georgia Law

Georgia law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Government access discussed in the guides is governed in part by the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §50-18-70 et seq.; that statute does not make this private service a records custodian.


12. Severability

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