1. What This Reference Is
Santa Monica Residents Directory is a privately operated reference to public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections concerning Santa Monica, Los Angeles County, and California. It describes access routes and links to custodians, but it hosts no government record and is not affiliated with any office, court, library, or records custodian.
2. Permitted and Prohibited Uses
Use the pages and anything reached through them only for lawful purposes. You may not use the site or a result to:
- Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person

- Commit identity theft or fraud
- Make FCRA-regulated decisions involving credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another covered purpose
- Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
- Interfere with the site's operation or security
3. No Consumer Reporting Agency
Santa Monica Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither these pages nor a result from a linked search tool is a consumer report. Nothing obtained through them may be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.
4. External Links and Tools
Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, set their own terms and privacy rules. Santa Monica Residents Directory does not control or guarantee their content, availability, pricing, results, or data practices.
5. No Warranty
The site is supplied "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. No promise is made that a statement is accurate, complete, or current, or that an outside portal will remain available or produce a correct result.
6. Liability Limits
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of these pages or a linked resource, including a decision based on a record found through them.
7. Your Indemnification Promise
You agree to indemnify and hold the site's operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that result from your misuse of the site or breach of these terms.
8. Intellectual Property Rights
The original wording, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a short, attributed excerpt is welcome; republishing complete pages or copying the material systematically is not.
9. Changes to the Terms
A revised version may be posted on this page. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
10. Access Restrictions
Access may be blocked or limited for a user who violates these terms or abuses the site, at the operators' discretion and without advance notice.
11. California Governing Law
These terms are governed by California law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-record access questions referenced by these pages involve the California Public Records Act, Government Code §§7920.000–7931.000, recodified from former Government Code §6250 et seq.; that statute governs access by public agencies, not the operation of this private reference. Applicable California Consumer Privacy Act rights, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, remain subject to their exemptions and coverage rules.
12. Severability
If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
