1. The Reference and Its Role
Hollister Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and historical collections related to Hollister and San Benito County, California. Government records are not hosted here, and the reference has no affiliation with a government office, court, library, or records custodian.
2. Lawful Use Rules
Use the reference only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or information 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 decisions 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 Reporting Agency Status
The reference is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. section 1681 et seq. Neither its content nor a result from a linked search tool is a consumer report. Nothing returned may be used to evaluate eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose covered by the FCRA.
4. Linked Portals
County and state portals, libraries, archives, and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, set their own terms and privacy policies. Hollister Residents Directory is not responsible for an outside provider’s content, availability, charges, or data handling.
5. No Warranty
The reference is supplied “as is” and “as available,” without warranties. No promise is made that a description is accurate, complete, or current, or that an outside portal will work or return a particular result.
6. Liability Limits
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of the reference or a linked resource, including an action taken after finding a record.
7. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold the operators harmless from claims, demands, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from your misuse of the reference or breach of these terms.
8. Intellectual Property
The original writing, layout, design, and logo are protected by copyright. A link or brief attributed quotation is welcome. Republishing a full page or copying the material systematically is not permitted.
9. Changes
An updated version may be posted here at any time. Continued use after a revision means the revised terms are accepted.
10. Access Restrictions
Access may be blocked or limited for a user who violates these terms, threatens people, or abuses the reference, with or without advance notice.
11. California Law
California law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The public-record framework referenced by the directory is the California Public Records Act, Government Code section 7920.000 et seq. California privacy obligations may also apply, including the Consumer Privacy Act, Civil Code section 1798.100 et seq., subject to its definitions and exceptions.
12. Severability
If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
