Terms of Use

These terms govern use of Vestal Residents Directory. By using this privately operated reference, you agree to these conditions. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.

1. Nature Of The Site

Vestal Residents Directory is a private reference to public-record sources and historical collections in Vestal, Broome County, and New York. It does not host government records and is not affiliated with a public office, court, archive, or records custodian.


2. Acceptable Use

Use the service only for lawful purposes. You may not use it or any linked material to:

  • stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm another person;
  • locate a person protected by a restraining or protective order;
  • commit identity theft, fraud, or another unlawful act;
  • make an FCRA-regulated credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or similar decision;
  • scrape, copy, or republish site content at scale; or
  • interfere with site operation or security.

3. Consumer Reporting Status

We are not a consumer reporting agency as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. Nothing here, including material returned by a linked service, is a consumer report and none may be used for an FCRA-regulated purpose.


4. Outside Services

Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control their content, availability, costs, or data handling.


5. No Warranties

The reference is provided as is and as available. We make no warranty that any information is complete, accurate, current, uninterrupted, or suitable for a particular purpose, and every record should be confirmed with its custodian.


6. Liability Limits

To the greatest extent permitted by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or other damages arising from use of this service or a linked resource.


7. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold the operators harmless from claims, demands, losses, and reasonable attorneys' fees caused by your misuse of the service or breach of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a brief attributed excerpt is welcome; systematic copying or republication of complete pages is not.


9. Term Updates

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version. Continued use after the change means you accept the current version.


10. Access Restrictions

We may restrict or block access, without notice, when we reasonably believe a user has violated these terms, misused personal information, or threatened service security.


11. New York Law

New York law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The records-access context discussed here is New York's Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law article 6, sections 84 through 90, but that statute does not override confidential records or agency-specific rules.


12. Severability

If a term is held unenforceable, the remainder will continue in effect to the extent allowed by law.
