Terms of Use

These terms apply when you use Carolina Forest Residents Directory. If you continue to use the service, you accept them. Do not use it if you do not agree.

1. Purpose of This Service

Carolina Forest Residents Directory is a private reference that describes and links to public rolls, indexes, and directory collections relevant to Carolina Forest, South Carolina. It does not host government records and is not connected to any office, court, or records custodian.


2. Lawful Use Rules

Use the site only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or anything found through it, to:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
  • Locate someone protected by a restraining or protective order
  • Commit identity theft or fraud
  • Make FCRA-regulated decisions (credit, employment, tenant, insurance)
  • Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.). Nothing here, and nothing any linked search tool returns, is a consumer report, and none of it may be used to judge eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-covered purpose.


4. External Services

Official portals and outside services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own policies and terms. We do not control their content, availability, prices, or data practices.


5. No Guarantee

The service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties. We do not guarantee that its information is accurate, complete, current, or that an external portal will be available or return a correct result.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, we are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this site or any linked resource, including decisions made from records found through it.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operators of this site from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, design, logo, and layout of this site are protected by copyright. Linking to any page and quoting brief excerpts with attribution is welcome; republishing full pages or systematically copying content is not.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms by posting a new version here. Continued use after a change means acceptance.


10. Cutting Off Access

We may block or restrict any user who violates these terms or abuses the site, at our discretion and without notice.


11. South Carolina Law

South Carolina law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-body record access is generally governed by the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act, S.C. Code Ann. § 30-4-10 et seq.; that statute does not change a custodian’s separate rules for court, vital, or recorded-document files.


12. Severability

If any part of these terms proves unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
