Terms of Use

These terms set the conditions for using Reading Residents Directory. By continuing to use the service, you accept them; do not use it if you do not agree.

1. Nature of the Service

Reading Residents Directory is a privately operated reference. It links to and describes public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections related to current or former Reading, Pennsylvania households. It does not host government records and has no affiliation with a public office, court, or custodian.


2. Lawful Use Rules

Use the service only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or information reached 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, follow their own terms and privacy policies. Their content, availability, prices, and data practices are outside our control.


5. No Guarantee

The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties. We do not guarantee that page information is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will remain available 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. Revisions to Terms

We may post an updated version of these terms here. Continued use after that posting accepts the revised terms.


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

Pennsylvania law governs these terms, without applying conflict-of-law principles. Records referenced on the service may be subject to the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law, Act 3 of 2008, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101–67.3104, along with separate court and confidentiality laws.


12. Severability

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