1. Nature of the Service
Fort Dodge Residents Directory independently organizes references to public rolls, indexes, and historical collections related to Fort Dodge, Iowa. It neither hosts government records nor represents Webster County, any court, public agency, or record custodian.

- Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person

- 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. No Consumer Reports
Fort Dodge Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. Content here and results supplied by linked search tools are not consumer reports. They cannot be used for eligibility decisions involving credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.
4. External Services
Government websites and outside services, including sponsored search providers, apply their own policies and terms. Their availability, prices, data handling, and content are outside our control.
5. No Warranties
The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. No promise is made that its material is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will remain available or produce correct results.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages connected with this service or a linked resource. This limitation includes harm arising from decisions based on records reached through the service.
7. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the operators harmless from claims or demands caused by your misuse or breach of these terms, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
8. Intellectual Property
Copyright protects the original wording, logo, design, and layout. You may link to pages or quote short attributed passages. Full-page republication and systematic copying are prohibited.
9. Revisions
A revised version may be posted here. Use after its publication signifies acceptance of the revision.
10. Access Restrictions
Users who abuse the service or violate these terms may be blocked or restricted at our discretion without prior notice.
11. Governing Law
These terms are governed by Iowa law without applying conflict-of-law rules. Iowa Code Chapter 22 addresses access to records held by Iowa government bodies and includes exceptions. That statute does not designate this privately operated service as a record custodian. The supplied Fort Dodge research found no generally applicable Iowa consumer privacy statute, and these terms make no claim that one applies.
12. Severability
If one provision is held unenforceable, every remaining provision continues in effect.
