Terms of Use

These terms apply to Somers Residents Directory. By using the service, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Nature of This Service

Somers Residents Directory is a privately operated reference. It describes and links to public rolls, indexes, and historical collections relevant to Somers, Westchester County, and New York. It does not host government records and has no affiliation with an agency, court, library, or records custodian.


2. Lawful Use Requirements

Use the service only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or material 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 (credit, employment, tenant, insurance)
  • Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. Consumer Reporting Status

Somers Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency as that term is defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Nothing on this service or returned by a linked tool is a consumer report. It may not be used to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the FCRA.


4. Third-Party Destinations

Government portals and outside services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own terms and policies. We do not control their content, availability, charges, or information practices.


5. No Warranties

The service is offered "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that content is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will function 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 the service or a linked resource, including decisions made from records found there.


7. Indemnity

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


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, logo, design, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a brief attributed excerpt is permitted; reproducing full pages or systematically copying content is not.


9. Term Updates

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


10. Access Restrictions

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


11. Governing Law

New York law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Government public-record access, where relevant, is governed by New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6, including §§ 87 and 89, and by the separate rules for courts, vital records, and election records.


12. Severability

If a provision of these terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective.
