Terms of use

Rules for using this private notice verification service.

Last updated: May 27, 2026

American Bureau of Liens is a private data, notice, and verification company. We are not a court, recorder's office, government agency, collection agency, law firm, lawyer referral service operated by a bar association, or your attorney. This site does not provide legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship.

You are not legally required to use this site, respond to a notice, request contact, or hire any attorney or service provider because of a notice from us.

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Use govern access to ablien.org, notice-verification links, QR-code routes, forms, filing summaries, document previews, opt-out tools, and related services operated by American Bureau of Liens. By using the service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service; you may still disregard a notice, mail us a request, or contact a licensed attorney independently.

2. What the service does

The service lets recipients verify that a mailed notice corresponds to a public-record filing, review limited filing details, submit a response, request follow-up, view available filing documents, and submit mail or privacy preferences. We may use public records, third-party data, mailing vendors, document tools, analytics, and internal review systems to operate the service.

Filing summaries may be incomplete, delayed, generated from OCR, derived from public records, or affected by county-recording practices. The official record remains with the court, clerk, recorder, or public office that accepted or maintains the filing.

3. No legal advice or representation

Information on this site is for notice verification, routing, privacy-preference, and informational purposes only. It is not legal, medical, financial, tax, settlement, lien-resolution, or professional advice. We do not evaluate claims, represent you, file disputes, negotiate liens, or decide whether a lien is valid.

If you request attorney contact or indicate that a matter is yours, we may route your response and related filing information to one or more participating attorneys, law firms, referral partners, or legal-service providers. No attorney-client relationship exists unless and until you and an attorney separately agree to one in writing or as otherwise required by applicable law.

4. Compensation, referrals, and data use

We may be compensated by law firms, attorneys, legal-service providers, data customers, mailing partners, or other business partners for verified referrals, accepted leads, licensed data, operational services, or related business arrangements. You do not pay us to verify a notice through this site.

Our collection, tracking, disclosure, sale, sharing, retention, and privacy-choice practices are described in our Privacy policy and Do not sell or share my information page.

5. Consent to contact

If you provide a phone number, submit a response, check a consent box, or request follow-up, you authorize American Bureau of Liens and, where applicable, participating law firms, attorneys, legal-service providers, or their authorized representatives to contact you about the notice and related services using the information you provide. Message and data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchasing goods or services from us.

You may revoke contact consent by following instructions in the communication, submitting an opt-out request, or emailing privacy@ablien.org.

6. Your responsibilities

Use the service only for notices addressed to you, your household, or someone for whom you are legally authorized to act. Keep secure codes private. Information submitted through forms must be accurate to the best of your knowledge.

  • Accessing, attempting to access, or sharing another person's notice without authorization.
  • Guessing, enumerating, scraping, crawling, bulk requesting, or reverse engineering notice links, secure codes, APIs, PDFs, records, or QR-code routes.
  • Submitting false, misleading, automated, malicious, or abusive information.
  • Interfering with security, rate limits, logging, delivery, suppression, or verification systems.
  • Using this service to harass, threaten, impersonate, discriminate, or violate applicable law.

7. Opt-outs and suppression

You may request that we stop mailing future notices to your address, opt out of sale or sharing of personal information, or submit a privacy request. Suppression requests affect our systems and do not erase public records, county records, court records, third-party archives, or records already held by other parties.

Mail suppression can be requested at /optout. Sale/share opt-out requests can be submitted at /do-not-sell.

8. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not promise that records are complete, current, error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for any particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, American Bureau of Liens disclaims implied warranties and will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunities, loss of data, or reliance on filing summaries.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

9. Changes, governing law, and contact

We may update these terms from time to time. The date above shows the latest update. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated terms. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

These terms are governed by the laws of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer-protection or privacy laws require otherwise.

Questions may be sent to notices@ablien.org or mailed to American Bureau of Liens, PO Box 38402, Phoenix, AZ 85069.
