1. What This Reference Is
Colton Residents Directory is a privately operated reference to the public rolls, record indexes, and historical directory collections connected with Colton, California. It does not host government files and is not affiliated with Colton, San Bernardino County, California agencies, a court, or a records custodian.
2. Acceptable Use
Use the service only in a lawful and respectful way. You may not use these pages or information reached through them to:
- Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm another person
- Locate someone protected by a restraining or protective order
- Commit fraud, identity theft, or another unlawful act
- Make a decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including a credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decision
- Scrape, reproduce, or republish the content at scale
- Disrupt the pages, search functions, hosting, or security
3. No Consumer Reports
The service is not a consumer reporting agency as that term is defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. section 1681 and following. Nothing on these pages, and nothing returned by a linked search provider, is a consumer report. It must not be used to judge eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose covered by the FCRA.
4. External Links
Government portals, libraries, courts, archives, and sponsored search providers maintain their own terms and privacy practices. Colton Residents Directory does not control their content, availability, prices, results, or handling of information submitted to them.
5. No Warranties
The service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind. No promise is made that a statement is complete, accurate, or current, or that an outside portal will remain available 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, special, or similar damages arising from use of these pages or an outside resource, including a decision made from a record found through them.
7. Indemnity
You agree to defend and hold harmless the operators from a claim or demand, including reasonable attorney fees, that results from your misuse of the service or violation of these terms.
8. Original Materials
The original writing, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a short attributed passage is welcome. Full-page republication and systematic copying are not permitted without permission.
9. Changes to Terms
New wording may be posted here when the terms change. Continued use after the updated version appears constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
10. Access Restrictions
The operators may block or limit access for a user who violates these terms, abuses a page, or threatens the service. This may occur without advance notice.
11. California Law
These terms are governed by California law without applying conflict-of-law principles. The California Public Records Act is recodified at Government Code sections 7920.000 through 7931.000; those provisions govern requests to the public agencies that hold Colton records, not this private reference service. Where applicable, California's Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, Civil Code sections 1798.100 through 1798.199.100, governs personal-data rights concerning covered businesses.
12. Severability
If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.
