Judici.com pages with the name of a single court prominently displayed near the top of the page and intended to facilitate access to the Data of only that court ("Court Pages"), are hosted on Judici.com servers by Judici.com acting as agent of that court. The court, and thus its Court Pages, are exempt from the requirements of the FCRA. Judici pages which aggregated data from multiple courts, are NOT hosted on behalf of a single court, and thus ARE subject to the requirements of the FCRA.
