Terms of Use

These terms govern use of Parma Residents Directory. Using the service indicates agreement; if you do not agree, do not use it.

1. Nature of the Service

Parma Residents Directory is a privately run reference. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and historical directory collections relevant to Parma, Ohio. It does not host government records and has no connection to an office, court, or records custodian.

  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. No Consumer-Reporting Service

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


4. Links to Outside Sites

Government portals and outside services, including sponsored-result tools, have their own rules and policies. We are not responsible for their content, availability, prices, or data practices.


5. No Warranties

The service is offered "as is" and "as available," without warranties. We do not promise that its contents are accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will operate or return a correct result.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this service or a linked resource, including decisions based on a record found through it.

You agree to indemnify and hold the operators harmless from a claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from misuse of the service or a violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a short attributed excerpt is allowed; republishing complete pages or systematically copying material is not.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Continued use after a revision means acceptance.


10. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or block access, without notice and at our discretion, for a violation of these terms or abuse of the service.


11. Governing Law

Ohio law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. For public-record access questions, Ohio Public Records Act, ORC 149.43, governs records kept by public offices subject to its exceptions; it does not alter these private terms.


12. Severability

If a provision of these terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
