Terms of Use

These terms govern use of Foster City Residents Directory. Using the reference means you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the service.

1. What Foster City Residents Directory Is

Foster City Residents Directory is a privately operated reference. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections related to Foster City and California. It does not host government records and has no affiliation with Foster City, San Mateo County, any state office, court, library, or records custodian.


2. Rules for Lawful Use

Use the reference only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or a result 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, 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 Reporting Agency Status

Foster City Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. §1681 and following. Nothing on the reference, and nothing returned by a linked search tool, is a consumer report. It may not be used to judge eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose covered by the FCRA.


4. Outside Portals and Services

Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, set their own terms and privacy practices. Foster City Residents Directory is not responsible for their content, availability, prices, results, or data handling.


5. No Warranties

The reference is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that a page is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will operate or return a correct result.


6. Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of the reference or a linked resource, including a decision made from a record reached through it.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the operators harmless from a claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that arises from your misuse of Foster City Residents Directory or violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

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


9. Changes to These Terms

A new version may be posted here when the terms change. Continued use after the revision is posted means that the revised terms are accepted.


10. Restricting Access

Access may be blocked or limited for a user who violates these terms or abuses the service, at the operators' discretion and without advance notice.


11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by California law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The California Public Records Act, Government Code §7920.000 and following, governs access requests to California and local public agencies. It does not turn this private reference into a records custodian.


12. Severability

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