Terms of Use

These terms set the conditions for using Beverly Residents Directory. By using the service, you accept them. Do not use it if you do not agree.

1. Nature of This Service

Beverly Residents Directory is a private reference that describes and links to public rolls, indexes, and historical directory collections relevant to Beverly, Massachusetts. It does not host government records and is not connected with any government office, court, or records custodian.


2. Lawful Use Rules

Use this service only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or material found 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

Beverly Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Nothing provided here, including results from a linked search tool, is a consumer report. It may not be used to assess eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.


4. Links to Outside Sites

Government portals and independent services, including sponsored search tools, maintain their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control their content, availability, pricing, or data practices.


5. No Warranties

The service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties. We do not promise that its information is accurate, complete, or current, or that an external portal will work or return a correct result.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this service or an external resource, including decisions made from a record found through it.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, caused by misuse of the service or a violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

Original text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Links and brief attributed quotations are welcome, but republishing full pages or systematically copying the content is not permitted.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Continuing to use the service after a revision means you accept it.


10. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or block access, without notice, for a user who breaches these terms or misuses the service.


11. Governing Law

Massachusetts law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Requests to Massachusetts or Beverly public custodians are governed by M.G.L. c.66 §10 and the exemptions in M.G.L. c.4 §7 cl.26; those statutes do not make this private reference a records custodian.


12. Severability

If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
