Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Moline Residents Directory. Continued use signals acceptance. If you disagree with them, do not use the site.

1. Nature of This Website

Moline Residents Directory independently points readers to public rolls, indexes, and historical collections concerning Moline, Illinois. It does not host government records and does not speak for an agency, court, library, or records custodian.


2. Rules for Using This Site

Use the site only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or anything found 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. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq.). Nothing here, and nothing any linked search tool returns, is a consumer report, and none of it may be used to judge eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-covered purpose.


4. External Services

Outside services, including government portals and sponsored tools, apply their own terms and privacy rules. We do not control their content, availability, prices, or treatment of submitted information.


5. No Warranties

The site is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties. Accuracy, completeness, and currency are not guaranteed, nor do we promise that an external portal will remain available or return a correct result.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operators are not responsible for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages tied to use of the site, its links, or decisions based on records reached through them.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the site's operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, caused by misuse of the service or a breach of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

Copyright protects the site's original writing, design, logo, and layout. Readers may link to pages and quote short passages with credit, but may not republish whole pages or copy the content systematically.


9. Changes to These Terms

A revised version may be posted here from time to time. Continuing to use the site after publication of a change signifies acceptance.


10. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or blocked, without advance notice, when a user abuses the service or violates these conditions.


11. Governing Law

Illinois law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-record requests described here operate under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, including the response rule in section 3 and fee rule in section 6. The Illinois Personal Information Protection Act, 815 ILCS 530, addresses data security and breach notices rather than creating a general right to erase lawfully public government records.


12. Severability

If one provision cannot be enforced, every remaining provision continues in effect.
