Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Central Residents Directory. By continuing, you agree to them. If you disagree, do not use the service.

1. Nature of This Website

Central Residents Directory independently organizes references to public rolls, indexes, and historical collections related to Central, Louisiana. No government records are hosted here, and the service has no affiliation with a city, parish, state agency, court, or records custodian.


2. Acceptable Use Rules

All use must be lawful. Neither the site nor information reached through it may be used 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 and Links

Separate terms and privacy policies govern government portals, sponsored search tools, and other third-party services. Their content, availability, prices, and data handling are outside our control.


5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. Accuracy, completeness, and timeliness are not guaranteed. No promise is made that a linked portal will remain available or produce a correct result.


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

The original text, design, logo, and layout of this site are protected by copyright. Linking to any page and quoting brief excerpts with attribution is welcome; republishing full pages or systematically copying content is not.


9. Revisions to These Terms

A revised version may be posted here at any time. Continued use after posting signals acceptance of the revision.


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

Louisiana law governs these terms, without applying conflict-of-law principles. Official-record links are supplied in the context of the Louisiana Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:1 et seq., which does not turn this private service into a custodian. Louisiana's Data Privacy Act, Act 502 of 2026, is scheduled to take effect January 1, 2027, subject to its scope, exemptions, and implementing law.


12. Severability

If one provision is held unenforceable, every remaining provision continues in effect.
