1. Nature of This Site
Gadsden Residents Directory is an independent reference resource. It describes and links to public rolls, indexes, and directory collections concerning current and former Gadsden, Alabama residents. The site neither hosts government records nor represents the City of Gadsden, Etowah County, Alabama, any court, or any records custodian.
2. Acceptable Use Rules

- Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
- Locate someone protected by a restraining or protective order
- Commit identity theft or fraud
- Make decisions regulated by the FCRA, including credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions
- Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
- Interfere with the site's operation or security
3. No Consumer Reports
Gadsden Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither information here nor results from a linked search tool constitute a consumer report. They may not be used to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose covered by the FCRA.
4. External Services
Government portals, libraries, archives, and outside services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own terms and privacy policies. Their content, availability, prices, and data practices are outside our control.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
The site is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. No promise is made that its content will be accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will remain available or produce correct results.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site's operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages connected with use of the site or a linked resource, including reliance on records reached through either.
7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold the site's operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that result from misuse of the service or a breach of these terms.
8. Intellectual Property
Copyright protects the site's original writing, design, logo, and layout. You may link to a page or quote a short excerpt with attribution, but you may not republish full pages or systematically copy the content.
9. Updates to These Terms
A revised version may be posted here. Continued use after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
10. Restricting Access
Access may be blocked or limited, without notice, when a user abuses the site or violates these terms.
11. Alabama Governing Law
Alabama law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The Alabama Open Records Law, Ala. Code §§36-12-40 through 36-12-47, governs access requests made to Alabama public custodians; it does not make Gadsden Residents Directory a government office or give this private site control over City of Gadsden or Etowah County records.
12. Severability
If a provision is held unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect.
