Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of the material on this website. Accessing any part of the site means that you agree to them. If you do not accept the full terms, discontinue use.

NO FCRA USE. This is a privately run resource with no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to direct readers to Warren County and New York criminal-record resources. It is neither a private investigation service nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference website is independent of every government office. It does not keep official criminal records, retrieve files, perform official background checks, or submit documents for visitors.

Its content points toward Warren County Sheriff Central Records, the appropriate criminal court, the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, and the New York State Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to independent search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you agree not to:

  • Use the site in violation of any federal, state, or local law
  • Threaten, stalk, intimidate, or harass a person with information found here
  • Use site content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another FCRA-regulated decision
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Send bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools through the pages
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from this website or a linked tool may not be used to stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone. New York Correction Law Article 6-C governs the New York State Sex Offender Registry, and misuse of registry information may lead to criminal penalties. Registry data serves public safety, not vigilante conduct, blacklisting, or 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. Advertising partners are not presented as providers for job, rental, credit, or insurance screening. Data from this website or a linked tool may not be used to:

  • Make an employment or termination decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing application
  • Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
  • Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other action governed by the FCRA

Any check for a regulated purpose must come through a lawful official channel or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The website provides general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Warren County charge, conviction, warrant, or New York record-sealing rule affects an individual matter. Advice for a specific situation must come from a licensed New York attorney.

6. No Warranties

All material and services are offered "as is." No promise is made that:

  • Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
  • The website will remain available without interruption
  • Every page will be free of bugs, errors, or security weaknesses
  • An outside search provider will return complete or correct results

Criminal records can change as charges are filed, resolved, corrected, or sealed. Updates may lag or be missed. No content here is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to sheriff, court, state-agency, registry, and independent service pages. We do not operate those destinations and are not responsible for their availability, content, privacy practices, fees, or results. Review each destination's own terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Warren County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Those materials may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create another work without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the greatest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses or damages resulting from use of this website, its content, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal proceedings caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

New York law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located within New York, subject to applicable law.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision becomes effective when the updated text is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend, restrict, or end access at any time and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
