USAPhonesBooks Terms of Use

These Terms govern your access to USAPhonesBooks, our free reverse phone lookup and people search service. If you have used reverse-lookup tools like usphonebook before, please read these terms carefully, since they set the rules for what our public-records data may and may not be used for.

Template Notice — Review by Counsel Required

This document is a working template provided for planning purposes. It has not yet been reviewed by a licensed attorney, and it does not constitute legal advice. Before publishing or relying on these Terms, USAPhonesBooks should have qualified counsel review and tailor every section to its actual operations and jurisdiction.

Placeholder details (such as the governing-state reference and contact address) must be confirmed before this page goes live. Treat everything below as a starting draft, not a final agreement.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By visiting www.usaphonesbooks.com or running any search on the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and by our Privacy Notice. If you do not accept these Terms, please do not use the service.

You confirm that you are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement. If you use USAPhonesBooks on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of the Service

USAPhonesBooks is a free reverse phone lookup, people search, and reverse address lookup tool. We help you organize and surface information drawn from billions of publicly available US records, such as directory listings, public filings, and other openly accessible sources.

The service is offered at no cost, requires no signup, and is built to keep your searches private and anonymous. We do not notify the person you look up. Search results are provided for general informational purposes only and are not a substitute for an official background check from an authorized provider.

3. FCRA Notice — We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

USAPhonesBooks is NOT a consumer reporting agency ("CRA") as defined by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. The information we display is not assembled or evaluated as a "consumer report," and you may not treat it as one.

You may not use USAPhonesBooks, or any data obtained through it, to make decisions about a person's eligibility for employment, housing or tenancy, credit, insurance, or any other purpose regulated by the FCRA. If you need an FCRA-compliant report, you must use a properly authorized consumer reporting agency instead.

4. Permitted Use and Prohibited Conduct

You agree to use USAPhonesBooks only for lawful, personal, and non-commercial purposes, and to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. The service exists to help with legitimate needs, such as identifying an unknown caller or reconnecting with a contact.

You are strictly prohibited from using the service or its results to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, defraud, or harm any person. You may not use it for employment, tenant, or credit screening; for unlawful discrimination; for debt collection in violation of law; or to violate anyone's privacy or rights.

  • No employment, tenant-screening, or credit decisions
  • No stalking, harassment, intimidation, or doxxing
  • No scraping, reselling, or bulk-harvesting our data
  • No reverse-engineering, automated bots, or attempts to bypass security
  • No use that violates the privacy or legal rights of any individual

5. Accuracy and "As Is" Disclaimer

The records we surface come from third-party public sources that we do not control and cannot independently verify. Information may be incomplete, outdated, mismatched, or simply wrong, and people frequently share names, phone numbers, and addresses.

The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any warranty of accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. You are responsible for independently confirming any detail before you act on it.

6. Intellectual Property

The USAPhonesBooks name, logo, site design, original text, and software are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by US and international intellectual property laws. References to other brands, such as usphonebook, are made only for comparison and identification and imply no affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement.

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to view and use the site for your own personal lookups. You may not copy, republish, frame, or commercially exploit any part of the service without our prior written permission.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, USAPhonesBooks and its owners, employees, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the service.

Because the service is free, our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the service will not exceed one hundred US dollars ($100.00). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

8. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless USAPhonesBooks and its affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees that arise out of your misuse of the service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any law or third-party right.

This obligation survives the termination of your access to the service.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our service, technology, or the law. When we do, we will update the "last revised" date on this page.

Your continued use of USAPhonesBooks after we post changes means you accept the updated Terms. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically so you stay informed.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state identified by USAPhonesBooks [STATE TO BE CONFIRMED BY COUNSEL], without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be handled in the courts located within that jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by law.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will stay in full effect.

11. Contact

Questions about these Terms of Use can be sent through the contact page on www.usaphonesbooks.com. We aim to respond to good-faith inquiries in a reasonable timeframe.

To request removal of your information or to raise a privacy concern, please use the options described in our Privacy Notice and our Do Not Sell My Personal Information page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is USAPhonesBooks the same company as usphonebook?

No. USAPhonesBooks is its own free reverse phone lookup and people search service. We mention usphonebook only for comparison, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by that brand.

Can I use USAPhonesBooks results to screen a tenant or job applicant?

No. We are not a consumer reporting agency, and our data may not be used for employment, tenant, credit, insurance, or any other FCRA-regulated decision. Use an authorized CRA for those purposes.

Are these Terms final?

Not yet. This page is a working template that still needs review by qualified legal counsel, and placeholder details like the governing state must be confirmed before publication.
