It links to sources that may identify people who live or previously lived in Lakewood. It does not host government records or act for any government office, court, or records custodian.

- Make FCRA-regulated decisions (credit, employment, tenant, insurance)
- Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale

3. Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Lakewood Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency as that term is defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither the information here nor results from a linked search tool are consumer reports. They may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.
4. Third-Party Links
Government portals, Cuyahoga County records systems, and other third-party services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for their content, availability, costs, or data practices.
5. No Warranty
The service is provided "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. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this service or a linked resource, including decisions based on records found through them.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the service operators from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from misuse of the service or a violation of these terms.
8. Intellectual Property
The original Lakewood Residents Directory text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. You may link to a page and quote a brief, attributed excerpt. Republishing full pages or systematically copying material is not permitted.
9. Term Updates
We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Continued use after a revision constitutes acceptance.
10. Restricting Access
At our discretion and without notice, we may block or restrict a user who breaches these terms or abuses the service.
11. Ohio Law
Ohio law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-record access at Lakewood, Cuyahoga County, and Ohio custodial offices is governed by the Ohio Public Records Act, R.C. 149.43; that law does not make this private reference service a government custodian.
12. Severability
If one provision of these terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective.
