Terms of Use

These terms control use of Bend Residents Directory. By using the service, you accept them; do not use it if you do not agree.

1. Nature of This Service

Bend Residents Directory is an independently operated reference. It discusses and links to public record indexes, rolls, and collections concerning Bend and Oregon. It does not host government records and is not connected with a custodian, court, or office.


2. Rules for Using This Site

Use the service only in a lawful manner. You may not use it, or material obtained through it, to:

  • 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

Bend Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. Neither this service nor a result supplied by a linked tool is a consumer report, and neither may be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.


4. Links to Outside Sites

Government portals and independent services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own policies and terms. Their content, availability, price, and data practices are outside our control.


5. No Warranties

The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties. We do not promise that a page, record detail, link, or external portal is accurate, complete, current, available, or suited to a particular use.


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. Intellectual Property

9. Changes to These Terms

We can revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Use after a posted revision constitutes acceptance.


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

Oregon law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.311-192.478, controls access procedures for records held by public bodies; it does not make this private reference a record custodian.


12. Severability

If a provision is held unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect.
