Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Shelby People Search. Accessing the site means you accept them. Please stop using the service if you do not agree.

1. Nature of the Site

Shelby People Search is a private reference service. It describes official records, court indexes, directories, and lookup portals connected with Shelby, North Carolina. We do not host government records and have no affiliation with a government agency, court, or custodian.


2. Acceptable Use Rules

You may use the service only for lawful purposes. 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

  • Make decisions regulated by the FCRA, including credit, employment, housing, or insurance decisions
  • Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. No Consumer Reports

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Content here and results produced by a linked search tool are not consumer reports. None may be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.


4. External Services

Government portals, sponsored tools, and other third-party services have their own rules and privacy practices. We do not control their content, availability, charges, or handling of data.


5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without express or implied warranties. We cannot promise that information is complete, accurate, or current, or that an outside portal will operate or produce a correct match.


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 service or a linked resource, including reliance on a record.


7. Your Indemnity

You agree to defend and hold the site operators harmless from claims, demands, and reasonable attorneys’ fees caused by your misuse of the service or breach of these terms.


8. Site Intellectual Property

Copyright protects our original writing, design, logo, and layout. Links and short attributed quotations are permitted. Republishing whole pages or systematically copying site content is not.


9. Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these terms by posting a replacement here. Continued use after publication of a revision signals acceptance.


10. Restricting Access

We may limit or block access without notice when a user abuses the service or violates these terms.


11. Governing Law

North Carolina law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Official state and local records may separately be governed by North Carolina Public Records Law, N.C. Gen. Stat. Chapter 132, and by record-specific exceptions.


12. Severability

If one provision cannot be enforced, all remaining provisions continue in effect.
