These terms apply to Clackamas County Residents Directory. By using the reference, you accept them. Do not use the reference if you do not accept these terms.

1. Nature of This Reference

Clackamas County Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and local-history collections relevant to Clackamas County, Oregon. It does not host government records and is not affiliated with a public office, court, library, or other custodian.


2. Lawful Use Rules

Use the reference only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or information reached from it, to:

  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. No Consumer Reporting Agency

This reference is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. No material here, or result returned by a linked search tool, is a consumer report. It may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the FCRA.


4. Linked Services

Government portals, collections, and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, set their own terms and privacy rules. We do not control their content, availability, charges, or data practices.


5. No Warranties

The reference is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that content is complete, current, or accurate, or that a linked portal will remain available or return correct results.


6. Liability Limits

To the extent allowed by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this reference or a linked resource, including decisions based on records reached through it.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from misuse of the reference or a violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The reference’s original text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking and brief attributed quotations are permitted. Republishing full pages or systematically copying material is not permitted.


9. Term Updates

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Use after the revision is posted means acceptance.


10. Access Restrictions

We may block or limit access for a person who violates these terms or misuses the reference, at our discretion and without notice.


11. Oregon Law

Oregon law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public offices discussed here follow Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.311–192.478, including the response and fee provisions of ORS 192.324. Consumer privacy rights, when applicable, are addressed by the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, ORS 646A.570–646A.589. Those laws govern custodians and consumers according to their own terms; they do not make this private reference a public office.
