1. Nature of This Reference

Fredericksburg Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections relevant to the City of Fredericksburg and Virginia. The site does not host government records and is not affiliated with a city office, court, library, or records custodian.

  • Disrupt the site’s operation or security

3. No Consumer Reporting Role

This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Nothing on this site, and nothing returned through a linked search tool, is a consumer report. It may not be used to evaluate eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.


4. Third-Party Links

Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, have their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control their content, availability, prices, or data handling.

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


11. Virginia Law

These terms are governed by Virginia law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The Virginia Freedom of Information Act, Va. Code §§ 2.2-3700 et seq., including the response requirements in Va. Code § 2.2-3704, governs access to many existing records held by public bodies. It does not alter the use rules for this private reference site or require a custodian to release exempt records.

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