1. Nature of the Website

McDonough Residents Directory is an independent reference to public rolls, indexes, and historical collections. It does not host government records and is not connected with any agency, court, or custodian.

  • 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. Outside Services and Portals

Separate terms and privacy policies govern government portals, sponsored tools, and other linked services. Their content, uptime, charges, and data handling remain outside our control.


5. Warranty Disclaimer

The website is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties. We do not promise complete, accurate, or current content, continuous access to linked portals, or correct outside results.

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.

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. Revisions

A revised version may be posted here. Continued use after publication signifies acceptance of the updated terms.


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.

Georgia law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public access to state and local records is governed in part by the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §§50-18-70 through 50-18-77, including its exemptions and custodian procedures.
