Terms of Use

These terms apply to use of Burlington Residents Directory. By using the reference, you agree to them. Do not use the reference if you do not agree.

1. Nature of This Reference

Burlington Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and historical directory collections concerning Burlington, North Carolina. It does not host government records and has no affiliation with a government office, court, or record custodian.


2. Permitted Use Rules

Use this reference only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or information reached 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 involving credit, employment, tenant screening, or insurance
  • Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This reference is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. Nothing published here, or returned by a linked search tool, is a consumer report. It may not be used to assess eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.


4. External Resources

Government portals and outside services, including sponsored search tools, have separate terms and privacy practices. Their content, access, price, and data handling are not under our control.


5. No Warranties

This reference is offered "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that information is accurate, complete, current, or that an outside portal will be available or return a correct result.


6. Liability Limits

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this reference or an external resource, including decisions made from records reached through it.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the reference operators from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from misuse of the reference or a violation of these terms.

Original text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Links and brief attributed quotations are welcome. Republishing full pages or systematically copying content is not permitted.


9. Term Changes

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Using the reference after that posting means acceptance of the revision.


10. Access Restrictions

We may block or restrict a user who violates these terms or misuses the reference, at our discretion and without notice.


11. Governing Law

North Carolina law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The North Carolina Public Records Act, N.C. Gen. Stat. ch. 132, governs access to many public records held by public custodians, including inspection and copying rules; it does not make this private reference a records custodian.


12. Severability

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
