1. What This Reference Is
Berlin Residents Directory is privately operated reference material about public rolls, record indexes, portals, and historical collections connected with Berlin, Connecticut. It does not host government records and is not affiliated with the Berlin Town Clerk, Assessor, registrars, courts, libraries, state agencies, or any other custodian.
2. Rules for Using the Reference
Use the pages and anything reached through them only for lawful purposes. You may not use them to:
- Stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or harm another person.
- Locate a person protected by a restraining or protective order.
- Commit identity theft, fraud, or another unlawful act.
- Make a decision regulated by the FCRA, including credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions.
- Scrape or republish the pages at scale, or interfere with site security and operation.
3. No Consumer Reporting Agency
Berlin Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency as that term is defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. §§1681 et seq. Nothing on these pages, and no result returned by a linked tool, is a consumer report. It may not be used to judge eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, tenant screening, or another purpose regulated by the FCRA.
4. Outside Links
The reference links to Berlin and Connecticut government portals, courts, libraries, archives, and sponsored search tools. Each outside service controls its own content, availability, pricing, privacy practices, and terms. Berlin Residents Directory is not responsible for the actions or omissions of an external service.
5. No Warranties
The pages are supplied “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that a fact is complete, accurate, current, or fit for a particular purpose, or that a linked portal will be available or return a result. Public records and access rules can change.
6. Limits on Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or similar damages arising from use of this reference or a linked resource, including a decision made from a record found through it.
7. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the operators from a claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that results from your misuse of the reference or breach of these terms.
8. Intellectual Property
The original wording, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a brief attributed excerpt is allowed. Full-page republication and systematic copying are not authorized.
9. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms by posting a new version here. Continued use after the revised text appears means that the updated terms are accepted.
10. Ending or Restricting Access
Access may be blocked or limited for a user who violates these terms, abuses a search feature, or threatens the operation or security of the reference. This may happen without advance notice.
11. Governing Law
Connecticut law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Connecticut's public-records statute is the Freedom of Information Act, Chapter 14, CGS §§1-200 through 1-242. The Connecticut Data Privacy Act is codified in CGS chapter 743jj. Those statutes and their exemptions govern the public records and state systems discussed here; they do not make Berlin Residents Directory a custodian of those records.
12. Severability
If a court finds one part of these terms unenforceable, that part will be limited or removed as needed and the remaining terms will continue in effect.
