Terms of Use

These terms apply when you use Hastings Residents Directory. By continuing to use the site, you agree to them; if you do not agree, do not use the site.

1. Purpose of This Site

Hastings Residents Directory is a privately operated guide to public rolls, record indexes, and historical directory collections relevant to Hastings, Nebraska. It may point to Adams County and state resources, but it does not host government records and is not connected with a government office, court, or records custodian.


2. Permitted Use

Use this site only for lawful purposes. You may not use the site or information reached through it to:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or injure another person
  • Find a person protected by a restraining or protective order
  • Engage in identity theft or fraud
  • Make an FCRA-regulated credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decision
  • Scrape, duplicate, or republish site content at scale
  • Disrupt the site's operation or security

3. Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Hastings Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.). Nothing on the site, or returned by a linked search tool, is a consumer report. It may not be used to assess eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.


4. Other Websites

Official portals, such as Adams County resources and Nebraska Judicial Branch services, and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, maintain their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control or accept responsibility for their content, availability, prices, or data practices.


5. No Warranty

The site is offered "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that its information is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will remain available or return correct results.


6. Limitation of Liability

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


7. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold the site operators harmless from a claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that results from your misuse of the site or breach of these terms.


8. Site Content

The original text, design, logo, and layout on this site are protected by copyright. You may link to a page or quote a short attributed excerpt, but may not republish entire pages or systematically copy the content.


9. Term Updates

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Continued use after a revision constitutes acceptance.


10. Restricting Access

We may block or limit access, without notice and at our discretion, for a user who violates these terms or misuses the site.


11. Nebraska Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-record requests directed to a government custodian are subject to the Nebraska Public Records Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. 84-712 through 84-712.09, rather than these terms.


12. Severability

If a provision of these terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
