NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a government body. It and its advertising partners do not offer tools for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site only helps readers locate Clarke County and Virginia record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve them, perform an official check, or submit documents for a visitor.
Its purpose is to identify the Clarke County Sheriff's Office, court clerks, Virginia State Police Central Criminal Records Exchange, Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry, and other official channels. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, you agree not to:
- Use automated bots or scrapers against the pages
- Disrupt the service or interfere with another visitor's access
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system
- Use information to threaten, stalk, or harass someone
- Rely on site content for a housing, hiring, lending, or insurance decision
- Violate federal, Virginia, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No information found here or through a linked tool may be used to stalk, threaten, intimidate, discriminate against, or harass a person. Virginia Code § 9.1-918 specifically prohibits unauthorized or intimidating and harassing use of Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry data, with criminal penalties for a willful violation. Registry access serves public-safety awareness, not vigilantism or unlawful discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. The same restriction applies to use of linked tools for an FCRA-regulated decision. You must not use site data to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
A lawful FCRA-regulated check must come from an appropriate compliant provider or the official Virginia process authorized for that purpose, not from this site.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is not legal advice. General explanations of Clarke County records cannot determine how a charge, warrant, conviction, sealing rule, or expungement rule applies to an individual. Consult a licensed Virginia attorney for legal advice.
6. No Warranties
All content is provided "as is," without a guarantee that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Charges, dispositions, sealing orders, and expungements can change what an official source shows. Gaps or delays may occur, and nothing here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, or other agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to government offices, court portals, legal resources, or outside search providers. We do not control their content, availability, fees, or data practices. Their own terms govern once you leave this site.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Clarke County Criminal History or its content partners. Written permission is required to copy, alter, distribute, or create derivative works from that material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage resulting from site use, including reliance on information here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against a claim, demand, or legal action arising from your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Virginia law governs these terms. A dispute connected with site use must be brought in a court located in Virginia.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A revision takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest remain effective. The affected provision will be adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.
