Terms of Use

These terms set the conditions for using Hamden Residents Directory. By continuing to use the pages, you accept them. If you do not accept the terms, please stop using the service.

1. What This Reference Is

Hamden Residents Directory is privately operated. It explains and links to public land records, other record indexes, and directory collections connected with people who live or lived in Hamden, in geographic New Haven County, Connecticut. The Town Clerk and the Hamden Historical Society are examples of custodians or repositories described in the reference. It does not host government records and is not affiliated with an office, court, library, or records custodian.


2. Lawful Use Rules

Use the pages only in a lawful and responsible way. You may not use this service, 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 involving credit, employment, tenant screening, or insurance
  • Scrape, copy, or republish the pages at scale
  • Disrupt the operation or security of the service

3. No Consumer Reporting Agency

This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither the pages nor results returned by a linked search tool are consumer reports. They may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose covered by the FCRA.


4. External Links

Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, set their own terms and privacy policies. Hamden Residents Directory is not responsible for an outside service's content, availability, price, or data practices.


5. No Warranties

The service is supplied "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. No promise is made that a page is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will operate or produce a correct result.


6. Liability Limits

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this service or a linked resource, including a decision based on a record found through it.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that result from your misuse of the service or breach of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original writing, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a short, attributed excerpt is welcome. Republishing full pages or copying the material systematically is not permitted.


9. Changes to These Terms

A revised version may be posted on this page at any time. Using the service after a change means that you accept the updated terms.


10. Access Restrictions

Access may be blocked or limited for a user who violates these terms or abuses the service, at the operators' discretion and without prior notice.


11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by Connecticut law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Connecticut's public-record access framework is the Freedom of Information Act, CGS §1-200 et seq., described by the Connecticut FOI Act. Requests under that law belong with the public agency holding the record, not with this private reference service.


12. Severability

If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.


13. Questions

Questions about these terms may be sent through the Contact page.
