These terms set the conditions for using Lakeville Residents Directory. By using the service, you agree to them. Do not use the service if you do not agree.

1. Nature of This Service

Lakeville Residents Directory is a private reference service. It describes and links to public record indexes, rolls, and historical collections connected with Lakeville, Minnesota. It does not host government records and is not affiliated with a government office, court, archive, or record custodian.


2. Lawful Use Rules

  • Scrape, reproduce, or republish the service’s content at scale
  • Disrupt the operation or security of the service

3. No Consumer Reporting Service

Lakeville Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Nothing here or returned by a linked search tool is a consumer report. It may not be used to assess eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.


4. Outside Websites

Dakota County, Minnesota, archive, and sponsored-search links lead to independently operated services with their own terms and privacy rules. We do not control their content, pricing, availability, or data practices.


5. No Warranties

The service is supplied "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that its content is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will work or return a correct result.


6. Liability Limits

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this service or a linked resource, including decisions based on records reached through it.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the service operators harmless from a claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that results from your misuse of the service or breach of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original writing, logo, design, and layout are protected by copyright. You may link to a page or quote a short attributed excerpt. Republishing entire pages or systematically copying content is not permitted.


9. Changes to Terms

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Use of the service after that posting signifies acceptance of the revision.


10. Access Restrictions

We may suspend or limit access for a person who violates these terms or misuses the service. We may do so without advance notice.


11. Minnesota Law

Minnesota law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minn. Stat. ch. 13, governs public-data access held by Minnesota government entities; it does not alter these private service terms or create access to private records.


12. Severability

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