Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Wheaton People Search. Your use signals agreement. If you do not accept the terms, stop using the site.

1. What This Website Is

Wheaton People Search is a privately operated reference. It describes and links to public records, court indexes, directories, and lookup portals serving Wheaton, Maryland. No government records are hosted here, and no affiliation exists with Montgomery County, Maryland agencies, courts, or records custodians.


2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree to use this site only for lawful purposes. You may not use this site, or anything found through it, 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. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq.). Nothing on this site, and nothing returned by any search tool available through it, is a consumer report. You may not use any of it to determine a person's eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other purpose that requires FCRA compliance.


4. Links to Outside Sites

Links may lead to government portals or outside services, including sponsored search tools. Their own terms and policies control. We do not assume responsibility for outside content, access, prices, or data handling.


5. No Warranties

The service is offered "as is" and "as available," with no express or implied warranties. We cannot promise that information is complete, correct, or current, or that a linked portal will remain available and return accurate results.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law permits, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of the site or a linked resource, including reliance on a located record.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operators of this site from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your misuse of the site or your violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, design, logo, and layout of this site are protected by copyright. You may link to any page and quote brief excerpts with attribution. You may not republish full pages or systematically copy the site's content.


9. Changes to These Terms

A new version may be posted here at any time. Continued use after publication constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.


10. Cutting Off Access

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


11. Governing Law

Maryland law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Maryland government-record access is governed by the Maryland Public Information Act, General Provisions Title 4. That law applies to record custodians and does not make Wheaton People Search a government office.


12. Severability

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in full effect.
