Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Washington People Search. Your use signals agreement. Please leave the site if you do not accept them.

1. Nature of This Website

Washington People Search is a private reference resource. It describes and links to public records, court indexes, directories, and official lookup portals used to identify people in Washington. No government record is hosted here, and we have no affiliation with an agency, court, or records custodian.


2. Acceptable Use

You must use the site and information reached through it only for lawful purposes. You may not:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
  • Locate a person 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. No Consumer Reports

Washington People Search is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. Neither site content nor a result returned by a linked search tool is a consumer report. Do not use either to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.


4. External Services

Links may lead to government portals, outside services, and sponsored search tools. Their own terms and privacy policies apply. We do not control their content, uptime, prices, or handling of data.


5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The site is offered "as is" and "as available," with no express or implied warranty. We do not promise that information is complete, accurate, or current. We also cannot promise that a linked portal will remain available or produce a correct result.


6. Liability Limits

To the fullest extent the law permits, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages tied to use of the site or a linked resource, including reliance on a record reached through either.


7. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold the site operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that result from misuse of the service or breach of these terms.


8. Site Intellectual Property

Copyright protects the original text, design, logo, and layout. You may link to pages or quote short excerpts with attribution. Republishing complete pages or copying the content systematically is prohibited.


9. Revisions to These Terms

We may post revised terms here at any time. Continued use after publication means that you accept the new version.


10. Restricting Access

We may block or limit access, without notice and at our discretion, when a user violates these terms or abuses the service.


11. Washington Governing Law

Washington law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Government records linked from the site remain subject to the Washington Public Records Act, chapter 42.56 RCW, or to other record-specific laws and court rules as applicable.


12. Severability

If one provision cannot be enforced, every remaining provision continues in effect.
