1. The Nature of This Reference
Costa Mesa Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections concerning people who live or lived in Costa Mesa, California. Government records are not hosted here, and the reference is not affiliated with a city, county, state, federal office, court, library, or records custodian.
2. Acceptable Use
Use the reference only for lawful purposes. You may not use it or anything 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 a decision regulated by the FCRA, including credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions
- Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
- Interfere with the site's operation or security
3. No Consumer Report
This reference is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither its pages nor results from linked search tools are consumer reports. They may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose governed by the FCRA.
4. Linked Services
Government portals, archives, libraries, and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, set their own terms and policies. Costa Mesa Residents Directory does not control their content, availability, fees, or data practices.
5. Disclaimers of Warranty
The reference is supplied “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. Accuracy, completeness, currentness, portal availability, and returned results are not guaranteed.
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 this reference or a linked resource, including a decision based on a record reached through it.
7. Your Responsibility
You agree to indemnify and hold the operators harmless from a claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that results from your misuse of the reference or breach of these terms.
8. Copyright and Copying
The original wording, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting a short, attributed excerpt is welcome. Reposting full pages or copying the content systematically is not permitted.
9. Revisions
New terms may be posted here from time to time. Use after an update means the revised terms are accepted.
10. Access Restrictions
Access may be blocked or limited for a user who violates these terms or abuses the service, at the operator’s discretion and without advance notice.
11. California Law
These terms are governed by California law without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The California Public Records Act is codified at Government Code §§7920.000–7931.000, and California’s Consumer Privacy Act appears at Civil Code §1798.100 et seq.; those statutes govern the public agencies and data custodians covered by them, not a promise that this private reference hosts their records.
12. Severability
If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
