Whatcom County People Search is a privately run reference. It describes and links to public records, court indexes, directories, and lookup portals relevant to people in Whatcom County, Washington. The site does not host government records and has no affiliation with an agency, court, or records custodian.
2. Acceptable Use Rules
You may use the site only in a lawful manner. Neither the site 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. Consumer Reporting Restriction
Whatcom County People Search is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq.). Content here and results supplied by linked search tools are not consumer reports. They must not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.
4. Third-Party Links
Government portals and independent services, including sponsored search tools, are linked for reference. Each destination applies its own terms and policies. We do not control or accept responsibility for its content, uptime, prices, or handling of data.
5. Warranty Disclaimer
The site is offered "as is" and "as available," with no express or implied warranty. We do not promise that information is accurate, complete, or current. We also do not guarantee that a linked portal will remain available or produce a correct result.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not responsible for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages tied to use of the site or a linked resource. This limitation includes decisions based on records found through those resources.

You agree to defend, indemnify, 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.

Copyright protects the site's original writing, design, logo, and layout. You may link to its pages or quote short attributed excerpts. Republishing a full page or systematically copying the site's material is not allowed.
9. Revisions to Terms
We may revise these terms by publishing a new version here. If you keep using the site after a revision, you accept the updated terms.
10. Restricting Access
We may block or limit access, without advance notice and at our discretion, when a user abuses the site or violates these terms.
11. Governing Law
Washington law governs these terms, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The Washington Public Records Act, chapter 42.56 RCW, governs identifiable records held by state and local agencies. It does not turn this privately operated site into a government custodian, and court case records follow separate court access rules.
12. Severability
If a provision cannot be enforced, every remaining provision continues in effect.
