Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Champaign County Residents Directory. By continuing, you agree to them. If you disagree, do not use the service.

1. What This Website Is

Champaign County Residents Directory is an independent reference to public rolls, indexes, and historical collections connected with Champaign County, Illinois. It does not host government records and is not affiliated with a public office, court, library, or custodian.


2. Rules for Using This Site

Use the site only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or anything found through it, to:

  • 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. 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. ยง 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 Links

Linked public portals, archives, and sponsored search providers apply their own policies. Their availability, prices, content, and treatment of submitted data are outside our control.


5. Warranty Disclaimer

The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties. We make no promise that its text is complete, accurate, or current, or that an outside portal will remain available or produce a correct result.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, we are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this site or any linked resource, including decisions made from records found through it.


7. Indemnification

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.


8. Copyright and Site Content

Copyright protects the original writing, layout, design, and logo. Readers may link to pages and quote short passages with credit, but may not republish whole pages or copy the service systematically.


9. Revisions to the Terms

A revised version may be posted here. Using the service after that posting means you accept the revision.


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.


11. Governing Law

Illinois law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. References to public administrative records follow the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, while court and restricted record classes use their own access laws.


12. Severability

If one provision cannot be enforced, every remaining provision continues to apply.
