1. About This Reference
Michigan Residents Directory is privately operated and points readers to public rolls, record indexes, and historical directory collections related to people who live or lived in Michigan. No government records are stored here, and the site is independent of every records office and court.
2. Permitted and Prohibited Use
You may use the site only in lawful ways. You must not use this site or information reached through it to:
- Stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or injure another person.
- Find a person who is protected by a restraining or protective order.
- Carry out fraud or identity theft.
- Make a decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
- Harvest or republish site material in bulk.
- Disrupt site operations or attempt to defeat its security.
3. Consumer Reporting Restrictions
Michigan Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency within the meaning of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.). Site content and results from linked search providers are not consumer reports and cannot be used to assess eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose regulated by that law.
4. Third-Party Sites
Government portals and outside services, including sponsored search tools, set their own terms. We do not control their content, availability, fees, or handling of information.
5. No Guarantee of Service or Accuracy
The site is offered "as is" and "as available." We make no warranty that its material is accurate, complete, or up to date, or that an outside portal will remain available or return a correct result.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages connected with use of this site or a linked service, including action taken based on a record located there.
7. Responsibility for Misuse
You agree to protect the site operators from claims, demands, and reasonable legal fees that result from your misuse of the site or breach of these terms.
8. Site Material and Copyright
Copyright protects the site's original writing, design, logo, and layout. You may link to a page or quote a short excerpt with attribution, but you may not republish whole pages or systematically copy the material.
9. Revisions to the Terms
Revised terms take effect when posted on this page. Continuing to use the site after an update indicates acceptance.
10. Suspension of Access
We may restrict or end access, with or without notice, when someone violates these terms or abuses the service.
11. Michigan Law and Public Records
Michigan law governs these terms, without applying conflict-of-law principles. The Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231–15.246, governs access requests to public bodies; it does not make every record available or change the rules of a separate custodian.
12. Severability
If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the other provisions remain effective.
