Terms and Conditions for Use of Data Lists

#### General Disclaimer

Catholic Data Co, LLC ("the Company") offers a range of data lists to support Catholic organizations in their outreach and operational efforts. These offerings include ZIP Code Lists, Parish Lists, and Catholic Schools Lists, each available in comprehensive national formats or segmented by specific states to cater to the unique needs of our clients. These lists are designed to serve as crucial resources, facilitating effective communication and coordination within the Catholic community.

Despite the Company's diligent efforts to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information contained within these lists, through thorough review processes and validation by professional data verification firms, it is important to acknowledge that complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Structural changes within the Catholic community, such as parish closures, school consolidations, and the reassignment of clergy, can affect the accuracy of the data. Furthermore, in instances where direct contact information was not publicly available, the Company has employed inferred methods based on common patterns to approximate such details, particularly for email addresses. Although these methods are applied with careful consideration, the accuracy of inferred contact information cannot be fully assured.

For dioceses where a common email address pattern was observed, the Company has attempted to intuit the email addresses for entities that were not directly available online. This method, while conducted with careful consideration, is not infallible, and as such, the accuracy of these intuitively derived email addresses cannot be guaranteed.

In specific scenarios, such as dioceses where the number of parishes is significantly outnumbered by the number of missions and where one or two priests cover 6 or more parishes (i.e., the Diocese of Santa Fe, NM), we made the decision to only include the contact information for the "parent parish." This approach was taken as it was difficult to identify much more than a phone number for many mission parishes, ensuring our lists are as useful and concise as possible while acknowledging the unique organizational structures within certain dioceses.

The Company wishes to emphasize that despite our best efforts and methodologies, we cannot guarantee that the entries in each list represent the entirety of entries that could potentially be included. For instance, we cannot assure that the Colorado - Catholic Schools List contains every Catholic school in the state of Colorado. This limitation should be taken into consideration when utilizing our data lists.
