1. What This Website Is

Olney People Search is an independently operated reference resource. It describes and links to public records, court indexes, directories, and official lookup portals relevant to Olney, Montgomery County, and Maryland. No government records are hosted here, and the site has no affiliation with a government agency, court, or records custodian.


2. Rules for Using This Site

You must use the site and any information reached through it only for lawful purposes. Prohibited conduct includes:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person

3. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Olney People Search is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. Neither site content nor results supplied by a linked or embedded search tool constitute a consumer report. None may be used to decide a person's eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.


4. Links to Outside Sites

Links may lead to Maryland or Montgomery County government portals, as well as third-party services and sponsored search tools. Each outside provider sets its own terms and policies. Its content, access, prices, and data practices remain outside our control.


5. No Warranties

The site is offered "as is" and "as available," with no express or implied warranty of any kind. We do not promise that site information is accurate, complete, or current. We also cannot promise that an outside portal will remain available or produce correct results.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law permits, we have no liability for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages connected with use of the site or a linked resource. This limitation includes decisions made from records reached through those resources.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the site's operators harmless from claims or demands caused by your misuse of the site or breach of these terms, including reasonable attorneys' fees.


8. Intellectual Property

Copyright protects the site's original writing, design, logo, and layout. Links to any page and short, attributed quotations are allowed. Republishing a full page or systematically copying site content is not.


9. Changes to These Terms

A revised version of these terms may be posted here at any time. If you keep using the site after an update, you accept the revised terms.


10. Cutting Off Access

At our discretion, access may be blocked or limited without notice when a user abuses the site or violates these terms.


11. Governing Law

Maryland law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Separately, access to Maryland government records may be governed by the Maryland Public Information Act, Md. Code, General Provisions Article, Title 4, or by a more specific records law. The MPIA does not govern these private site terms.


12. Severability

If one provision is held unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect.
