Fair-Use & Anti-Scraping Policy

Rate limits and daily pass quotas that keep RecordsRegister.com fast, affordable, and protected against automated bulk bots.

⚠️ Mandatory Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) & Non-Government Notice RecordsRegister.com is an independent public-record indexing service and is not affiliated with any government agency or court. We are NOT a Consumer Reporting Agency (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.). Information from this website may never be used for employment screening, tenant screening, credit/loan underwriting, insurance eligibility, or any other FCRA-regulated decision.

1. Purpose of Our Fair-Use Policy

RecordsRegister.com offers low, one-time personal research pricing (including our 30-Day Unlimited Member Pass) for individual consumers, genealogists, and researchers. Our Fair-Use Policy ensures that automated scrapers, commercial data resellers, and shared-credential rings cannot degrade database performance or harvest public index abstracts in bulk.

2. Automated Per-Minute & Daily Quotas

All visitor sessions and active 30-Day Member Pass codes (`RR-PASS-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX`) are governed by real-time rate-limiting buckets displayed below. When a daily pass quota is reached, the counter resets automatically at 12:00 AM UTC.

3. Strictly Prohibited Activities

• Sharing, posting, or reselling a 30-Day Member Pass Code across multiple users or websites.

• Running automated scripts, bots, headless browsers, or curl/python scrapers against `/api/search`, `/report.php`, or `/records/...` directory pages.

• Attempting brute-force enumeration of Order Codes (`RR-2026-...`) or Member Pass Codes (`RR-PASS-...`).

4. Enforcement & Pass Suspension

Sessions that exceed per-minute rate limits receive a temporary `HTTP 429` cooldown notice. Pass codes used for automated scraping or public credential sharing may be permanently revoked by our Executive Management Console without refund.

Enforced in real time across visitor sessions and 30-Day Member Pass codes:
