Suffolk Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Nothing published here, and nothing produced by a linked search tool, is a consumer report. It may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.
4. Outside Services and Links
Government portals, libraries, archives, and sponsored search tools operate independently and have their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control their content, availability, prices, record displays, or handling of information you submit to them.
5. No Warranties
This reference is offered “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that any information is complete, accurate, current, or suited to a particular purpose, nor do we guarantee that a linked portal will remain available or return a correct result.

We may suspend, block, or limit access for a user who violates these terms or misuses the site. This action may occur without notice and at our discretion.
11. Virginia Law
Virginia law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. For existing City of Suffolk records, the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, Va. Code §§2.2-3700 et seq., applies as relevant. Its request provision, Va. Code §2.2-3704, calls for a reasonably specific request and generally requires a response within five working days or a statutory extension. The Act does not override court-record exclusions, vital-record eligibility, voter confidentiality, or other statutory limits.
12. Severability
If a court finds one provision of these terms unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
