1. Nature of the Service
Santa Cruz County People Search is a privately run reference service. It describes and links to California public records, Superior Court indexes, directories, and official lookup portals useful for locating or identifying people in Santa Cruz County. The service neither hosts government records nor has any affiliation with the Recorder, Assessor, court, or another government custodian.
2. Acceptable Use Rules
You may use Santa Cruz County People Search only for lawful purposes. The service and anything found through it must not be used to:
- Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
- Locate a person 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. No Consumer Reports
Santa Cruz County People Search is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither its content nor results supplied by a linked search tool constitute a consumer report. No information obtained through the service may be used to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.
4. External Services
Links lead to government portals and outside services, including sponsored search tools. Each destination enforces its own terms and privacy rules. We do not control or assume responsibility for its content, availability, charges, or data practices.
5. No Warranties
The service is offered "as is" and "as available," with no express or implied warranty. We do not promise that information is accurate, complete, or current, or that the Santa Cruz County and California portals linked from the service will remain available or return correct results.
6. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent the law permits, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages caused by use of the service or any linked resource, including decisions based on records located through it.
7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold the service operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that arise from misuse of Santa Cruz County People Search or a violation of these terms.
8. Intellectual Property
Copyright protects the original wording, design, logo, and layout. You may link to a page or quote a brief passage with attribution, but you may not republish whole pages or systematically reproduce the service's content.
9. Changes to These Terms
A revised version of these terms may be posted at any time. Continued use after a revision constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
10. Restricting Access
We may block or limit access without notice when a user violates these terms or abuses the service.
11. Governing Law
California law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public access to Santa Cruz County agency records is addressed by the California Public Records Act, Cal. Gov. Code § 7920.000 et seq., but that law does not make this privately operated service a government office or records custodian.
12. Severability
If a provision is held unenforceable, every remaining part of these terms continues in effect.
