3. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq. Nothing here or from a linked search tool is a consumer report. It may not be used to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Government portals and outside services, including sponsored search tools, have their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control their content, availability, cost, or handling of information.

The service is offered "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that its information is complete, accurate, or current, or that a linked portal will function or produce a correct result.

The original writing, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. You may link to a page or quote a brief attributed excerpt. Republishing whole pages or systematically copying material is not permitted.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Continued use after publication means you accept the revision.


10. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or end access for a person who violates these terms or misuses the service, at our discretion and without notice.


11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by Minnesota law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minn. Stat. §13.03, controls the public-data presumption for government records, while other classifications and statutes can restrict access.


12. Severability

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