4. Outside Links and Services
Linked government portals, library resources, archives, search providers, and sponsored tools have their own terms and privacy practices. The operator does not control their content, availability, prices, fields, results, or data handling and is not responsible for changes made by those third parties.
5. No Warranties
The reference is supplied “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that a page, link, office detail, fee, record description, or external portal is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, or suitable for a particular purpose. A public-record result must be checked with its custodian.

11. Governing Law
These terms are governed by Connecticut law without applying its conflict-of-law rules. Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. §§1-200 through 1-242, governs qualifying requests to public agencies, but it does not make this private reference a government custodian or override protected records.
12. Severability
If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The invalid provision will be limited or replaced only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
