Terms of Use

These terms govern use of the private Union County Residents Directory reference and its links to public custodians and outside services.

1. Nature of the Service

Union County Residents Directory is a privately operated reference. It identifies public offices, libraries, archives, and search paths related to Union County records. It is not a Union County agency, New Jersey agency, court, records office, library, or public-records database.


2. Permitted Use

Use the material only for lawful personal, family-history, civic, legal, or safety research. You may not use the site or linked information to stalk, harass, threaten, impersonate, harm, expose protected information, evade a record restriction, or violate a law, court order, or custodian rule.


3. No Consumer Reporting Use

Union County Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Information available here or through an outside service may not be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any purpose regulated by the FCRA.


4. Outside Links

The site includes links to public offices, libraries, and other outside services. Those services have their own terms, privacy notices, access rules, fees, and availability. We do not control their content or promise that a link will remain active.


5. Information Without Warranty

Descriptions, links, coverage dates, hours, and access details are provided as general information. They may change or contain errors. A result can be outdated, redacted, incomplete, misindexed, sealed, or restricted. Verify every record with the official custodian before relying on it.


6. Limits of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Union County Residents Directory is not liable for loss, harm, or a decision arising from use of this reference, an external site, or information that proves incomplete or inaccurate. The reader remains responsible for checking the source record and complying with applicable law.


7. Responsibility for Claims

You agree to defend and hold harmless Union County Residents Directory and its operators from claims connected with your unlawful use of the site, misuse of information, or violation of these terms, to the extent permitted by law.


8. Intellectual Property

The site's original arrangement and explanatory text are protected by applicable law. Public-record material, external images, and outside pages remain subject to the rights and policies of their respective custodians or owners. Do not copy site material in a way that violates law or another party's rights.


9. Revisions to Terms

We may revise these terms as the site changes or legal requirements evolve. Continuing to use the reference after publication of revised terms means you accept the current version.


10. Access Controls

We may limit or end access when we reasonably believe a visitor is violating these terms, threatening site security, or misusing information. This does not limit any remedy available under law.


11. New Jersey Law

These terms are governed by New Jersey law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Many requests for Union County government records are governed by the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. Court, vital-record, election, and protected-address rules may require a different procedure and are not overridden by these terms.


12. Severability

If a provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the fullest extent allowed by law.


13. Questions

Questions about these terms may be sent through the Contact page. Questions about a particular government or archival record should be directed to its custodian.
