1. Purpose of the Website
Columbia People Search is a privately run reference resource. It identifies public records, court indexes, directories, and official portals useful for researching people in Columbia, Tennessee. No government records are hosted here, and the service has no affiliation with a government agency, court, or custodian.
2. Acceptable Use Rules
Use Columbia People Search only for lawful purposes. Neither the service nor information reached through it may be used to:
- 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
Columbia People Search is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither its content nor results from a linked search tool are consumer reports. They cannot be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose governed by the FCRA.
4. External Services and Links
Links can lead to government portals, sponsored tools, and other third-party services. Their own policies and terms apply. We do not control or accept responsibility for an outside service's content, availability, prices, or data handling.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without express or implied warranties. Information may be incomplete, inaccurate, or out of date, and a linked records portal may become unavailable or return an incorrect match.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent the law permits, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages connected with using Columbia People Search or an external resource. This includes harm arising from a decision based on a record located through the service.
7. Indemnity
You agree to defend and hold the site's operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, caused by your misuse of the service or breach of these terms.
8. Copyright and Site Content
Copyright protects the site's original writing, design, logo, and layout. Brief attributed quotations and ordinary links are allowed. Republishing complete pages or systematically copying the content is prohibited.
9. Revisions to the Terms
A new version may be posted here at any time. Continued use after publication indicates acceptance of the revised terms.
10. Restricting Access
Access may be blocked or limited without notice when a user abuses Columbia People Search or violates these terms.
11. Tennessee Governing Law
Tennessee law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. References to government-record access concern the Tennessee Public Records Act, Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 10-7-501 through 10-7-515, but that Act does not make Columbia People Search a public agency or records custodian.
12. Severability
If one provision cannot be enforced, every remaining provision continues in effect.
