Terms of Use

1. Nature of the Service

Newark Residents Directory is a privately operated reference resource. It is not a government agency, records custodian, court, library, or archive, and it does not host, certify, or guarantee official records.


2. Acceptable Use Rules

Use the service only for lawful purposes. You may not use it to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, harm, impersonate, defraud, or invade another person’s privacy. You may not attempt to defeat redactions, reconstruct a protected address, interfere with the site, or submit unlawful material.


3. No Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Information from this site may not be used for credit, employment, tenant screening, insurance, or any other purpose regulated by the FCRA. Obtain any legally required report from an appropriate source and verify public-record information with its custodian.


4. Links to Other Services

External links are provided for reference. Outside sites control their own content, availability, security, fees, policies, and search rules. A link does not create a partnership, endorsement, or guarantee of a third party.


5. No Warranty

The service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. Records can be incomplete, outdated, restricted, changed, redacted, or incorrectly indexed. We make no promise that a source, link, result, or record will be accurate, current, complete, or available.


6. Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for loss, damage, or claim arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on this service or a linked resource. Verify every material record with the issuing office before acting on it.


7. Your Responsibility

You agree to defend and hold harmless the operators of this service from claims arising from your unlawful use, violation of these terms, or misuse of a record, link, or result obtained through the service.


8. Intellectual Property

The site’s design and original text are protected by applicable law. Third-party records, scans, maps, and collection descriptions may have separate copyright or repository-use rules. Use an original source in line with its stated terms.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms to reflect legal, technical, or service changes. The current terms appear here, and use after a revision is subject to the revised version to the extent permitted by law.


10. Restricting Access

We may suspend or end access where we reasonably believe a user has violated these terms, created a security risk, or used the service unlawfully. This does not limit other rights or remedies.


11. New Jersey Law

These terms are governed by applicable New Jersey law, including the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., where an official public-record request is involved. Vital-record requests are subject to separate rules, including N.J.S.A. 26:8-62 and Department of Health eligibility procedures.


12. Severability

If a provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the extent permitted by law. Any unenforceable provision will be limited only as needed to make it valid.


13. Questions About Terms

Questions about these terms may be sent through the contact route on this service. Questions about an official Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, court, or archive record must be directed to the issuing custodian.
