Terms of Use

These conditions apply when you visit or use South Carolina Residents Directory. By continuing to use the site, you agree to them; if you disagree, stop using it.

1. What South Carolina Residents Directory Provides

South Carolina Residents Directory is a privately operated guide to public rolls, indexes, and historical directory collections about people who live or have lived in the state. The site links readers to records held elsewhere; it neither hosts government records nor represents a government office, court, or custodian.


2. Lawful Use and Prohibited Conduct

Use this reference only in ways permitted by law. You may not use the site or information found through it to:

  • Follow, threaten, intimidate, harass, or injure anyone
  • Find a person who is protected by a restraining or protective order
  • Carry out fraud or identity theft
  • Make a decision for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or another purpose governed by the FCRA
  • Systematically scrape, reproduce, or republish site material
  • Disrupt the site's operation or compromise its security

3. No Consumer Reporting Service

This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither site content nor results returned through a linked search tool are provided as a consumer report; do not use them to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.


4. Third-Party Destinations

State and county portals, libraries, archives, and independent services—including sponsored search providers—set their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control or guarantee their content, uptime, charges, or handling of information.


5. No Guarantee of Accuracy or Availability

This reference is supplied "as is" and "as available," without warranties. We make no promise that site material is accurate, complete, or up to date, or that an outside portal will be accessible or provide a correct result.


6. Limits on Liability

Where law permits, the site's operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss connected with using this website or a linked resource, including an action taken based on a record found through one of them.


7. Responsibility for Claims

You agree to protect and hold the site operators harmless from claims, demands, and reasonable attorneys' fees that arise from your misuse of the site or breach of these terms.


8. Copyright and Reuse

Copyright protects this site's original writing, visual design, logo, and layout. You may link to a page or quote a short attributed passage, but you may not republish complete pages or copy the material systematically.


9. Revisions to These Terms

We can revise these conditions by placing an updated version on this page. If you keep using the site afterward, that use signifies acceptance of the revision.


10. Restricting Site Access

At our discretion, we may limit or block access for a person who misuses the site or violates these terms, with or without advance notice.


11. South Carolina Law

South Carolina law governs these terms, without applying its conflict-of-law rules. Public access to records held by covered public bodies is addressed by the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act, S.C. Code Ann. §§30-4-10 et seq., particularly §30-4-30; that statute governs public bodies, not this privately operated guide. The Family Privacy Protection Act, S.C. Code Ann. §§30-2-10 through 30-2-50, including §30-2-50's restriction on knowing use of public-agency personal information for commercial solicitation directed to a South Carolina resident, applies according to its terms.


12. Keeping the Remaining Terms in Effect

If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply.
