Terms of Use

These terms set the rules for using Memphis Residents Directory. By using the service, you accept these terms. Do not use the service if you do not accept them.

1. Nature of the Service

Memphis Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes and links to public rolls, indexes, and directory collections relevant to Memphis and Tennessee. Government records are not hosted here, and the service has no affiliation with an office, court, or records custodian.


2. Permitted Use

Use the service only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or material obtained 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. § 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 Resources

Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control their content, availability, prices, or data practices.


5. No Warranty

The service is offered "as is" and "as available," without warranties. We do not promise that material is accurate, complete, or current, or that an outside portal will work or return 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. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms by posting a new version here. Continued use after a change means 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

Tennessee law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Tennessee Public Records Act access is governed by T.C.A. §10-7-503 and applicable exceptions, custodian policies, court rules, and record-specific statutes.


12. Severability

If any part of these terms proves unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
