Terms of Use

These conditions apply whenever you use Nitro Residents Directory. Please leave the site if you do not agree to follow them.

1. Nature of This Website

Nitro Residents Directory is an independent reference that describes public rolls, indexes, and historical collections relevant to Nitro, West Virginia. It does not store government records and is not connected with Nitro City Hall, Kanawha County, Putnam County, a court, a library, or any records custodian.


2. Acceptable Use Rules

Your use must remain lawful. Neither the site nor information reached through its links may be used to:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
  • Locate someone 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. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq.). Nothing here, and nothing any linked search tool returns, is a consumer report, and none of it may be used to judge eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-covered purpose.


4. External Websites

Linked government portals, libraries, archives, and sponsored tools operate under their own policies. Their content, uptime, charges, and handling of data remain outside our control.


5. No Warranty

Access is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties. No promise is made that a statement is complete, current, or correct, or that an outside portal will operate or produce an accurate match.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, we are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this site or any linked resource, including decisions made from records found through it.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operators of this site from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, design, logo, and layout of this site are protected by copyright. Linking to any page and quoting brief excerpts with attribution is welcome; republishing full pages or systematically copying content is not.


9. Updates to These Terms

A revised version may be posted here from time to time. Using the site after an update indicates acceptance of that revision.


10. Cutting Off Access

We may block or restrict any user who violates these terms or abuses the site, at our discretion and without notice.


11. Governing Law

West Virginia law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-record access discussed here includes the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W.Va. Code chapter 29B, but that law does not override confidential-record restrictions.


12. Severability

If one provision cannot be enforced, every remaining provision continues to apply.
