You must be at least 16 years old and able to form a binding agreement to use the website’s interactive tools. You agree to use the website only for lawful purposes and in line with these Terms.

3. Your limited license

We grant you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to view and use this website for your own personal, noncommercial research. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

4. Prohibited activities

You may not: scrape, crawl or automatically extract content beyond ordinary search-engine indexing; bulk download, copy, republish, resell or redistribute content; frame or mirror the website; impersonate the publishers, their businesses or anyone else; submit malicious code, spam or unlawful material; probe, scan or test the security of the website or its systems without written permission; overload or interfere with the website or its hosting; or use the website to harass anyone or violate any law.

5. Artificial-intelligence training

You may not use content from this website to train, fine-tune, benchmark or build artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models or datasets without our prior written permission, except where applicable law expressly allows that use without permission. Ordinary search indexing and linking are permitted.

6. Your responsibility for decisions

You are solely responsible for decisions you make using this website, including decisions to buy, sell, build, renovate, borrow, move or hire. Always confirm material facts directly with the responsible organization, the official record, or a licensed professional before you act.

7. No warranties

THE WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AVAILABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE BROADEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PUBLISHERS AND THEIR COMMONLY OWNED BUSINESSES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES OR LOST DATA, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE WEBSITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. Because the website is provided free of charge, total liability for any claim relating to the website will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars where such a limit is permitted.

IMPORTANT: Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions and limits in these Terms apply only to the extent the law allows, and nothing here limits rights that cannot legally be limited.

9. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the publishers and their commonly owned businesses from claims, losses and reasonable costs, including attorneys’ fees, arising from your misuse of the website or your violation of these Terms or of anyone’s rights.

10. Third-party links and services

The website relies on service providers such as hosting, web fonts and map tiles, and links to other websites. Those parties have their own terms and practices. We are not responsible for them.

11. Intellectual property

The website’s original text, images, graphics, data compilations, design and software are owned by the publishers or used under license and are protected by copyright and other laws. See the Copyright and Trademark notice.

12. Feedback and submissions

If you send us feedback, corrections or suggestions, you grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual right to use them to improve the website, without obligation to you. Do not send confidential information, financial account details or anything you are not entitled to share.

13. Electronic communications

When you email us, you consent to receive replies electronically. Email is not a secure channel for sensitive information.

14. Suspension and termination

We may restrict, suspend or end access to any part of the website, for anyone, at any time, including for violations of these Terms.

15. Changes

We may change the website or these Terms at any time. Changes take effect when posted with an updated review date. Material changes will be noted on this page.

16. General terms

If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity and governing law, survive. These Terms, together with the other Legal Center policies, are the entire agreement about the website.

17. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be brought in the state or federal courts located in North Carolina, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
