Terms of Use

These terms apply when you use Hawaiʻi Residents Directory. By continuing to use the pages, you agree to follow these rules; if they do not work for you, stop using the service.

1. About This Reference

Hawaiʻi Residents Directory is operated privately and provides background on public rolls, record indexes, and historical directories in Hawaiʻi. It does not host government records and is not connected with a state or county office, court, or custodian.


2. Lawful Use Rules

Use these pages only in ways permitted by law. You must not use the service or information reached through it to:

  • Threaten, stalk, harass, intimidate, or otherwise hurt a person
  • Find a person whose location is protected by a court order
  • Carry out fraud, impersonation, or identity theft
  • Make a decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act
  • Copy or republish large portions of the pages or scrape them in bulk
  • Disrupt the service or try to defeat its security

3. Consumer Reporting Notice

Hawaiʻi Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency within the meaning of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither these pages nor results from a linked tool are consumer reports. They cannot be used to assess credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose covered by that law.


4. External Services

Outside portals and search providers, including services behind sponsored results, set their own terms. We do not manage their content, fees, availability, or handling of information you send them.


5. No Guarantee

The service is offered on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties. We cannot promise that page details are complete, accurate, or up to date, or that an outside portal will be online or return a particular result.


6. Liability Limits

As far as applicable law permits, the operators are not responsible for direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss tied to your use of the pages or an outside resource, including an action you take based on a record.


7. Responsibility for Claims

If your misuse of the service or breach of these terms causes a claim, you agree to protect the operators from that claim and related demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees.


8. Copyright and Site Material

Copyright protects the original writing, visual design, logo, and layout. You may link to a page or quote a short passage with credit. Do not republish full pages or copy the material as a collection.


9. Revisions

We can revise these terms by posting new wording here. If you keep using the pages afterward, that use signals acceptance of the revision.


10. Suspension of Access

We may limit or end access for a person who breaks these terms or abuses the service, with or without advance notice.


11. Hawaiʻi Law

Hawaiʻi law governs these terms, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Hawaiʻi's Uniform Information Practices Act, HRS chapter 92F, governs access to covered state and local government records; it does not make this private reference a government custodian.


12. Remaining Terms

If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the other provisions continue to apply.
