1. Nature of the Service
Commerce Township Residents Directory is privately operated reference material about public indexes, record collections, and access routes in Commerce Township, Oakland County, and Michigan. It does not host government records and is not affiliated with a government office, court, library, or records custodian.
2. Permitted Use
Use the service only for lawful purposes. You may not use the site or anything found through it to:
- Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm another person.
- Locate a person protected by a restraining or protective order.
- Commit identity theft, impersonation, or fraud.
- Make a decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or related eligibility decisions.
- Scrape, reproduce, or republish the content at scale.
- Interfere with site operation or security.
3. No Consumer Reports
The site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Nothing here, or returned through an outside search tool, is a consumer report or may be used for an FCRA-regulated purpose.
4. Outside Resources
Government portals, library systems, and third-party services have their own rules, pricing, availability, and data practices. We do not control or endorse their content or results.
5. No Warranties
The site is offered “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty that its content is complete, current, accurate, uninterrupted, or suited to a particular purpose, and linked portals can change without notice.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or other damages arising from use of this site or an outside resource.
7. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the operators harmless from claims, losses, or reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from your misuse of the service or breach of these terms.
8. Intellectual Property
The original site text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a short attributed excerpt is permitted; reproducing full pages or systematically copying material is not.
9. Term Updates
We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Continued use after publication signifies acceptance of the revised terms.
10. Access Restrictions
We may suspend or restrict access, without notice, when a user violates these terms, threatens site security, or abuses the information provided.
11. Michigan Law
Michigan law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The Michigan Freedom of Information Act, 1976 PA 442, MCL 15.231 et seq., controls access to many public-body records, but it does not make court files, restricted vital records, or protected addresses generally available.
12. Severability
If a provision of these terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective.
