Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of the website. Continuing to browse means that you accept them. Do not use the website if you disagree with any condition.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provide a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act purposes. Its role is to identify Yadkin County and North Carolina criminal-record resources. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site without ties to a government office. It neither stores official files nor retrieves records, conducts official checks, or submits documents for visitors.

Its material identifies the Yadkin County Sheriff's Office, the courts, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry, and outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is permitted only when you agree not to:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from the website or a linked tool may not be used to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. North Carolina law gives special weight to misuse of the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry. Registry data supports public safety, not vigilantism or punitive treatment of a listed person.

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. Our advertising partners do not turn this resource into an FCRA screening service. Data from the website or a linked tool must not be used 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

An FCRA-regulated purpose requires an authorized, compliant provider and the notices, consent, and procedures required by law.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is not legal advice. General Yadkin County record information cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expunction law affects an individual matter. Seek advice from a licensed North Carolina attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content is provided "as is." No promise is made 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, dismissals, sealing, and expunction can change a record. Gaps and delays are possible. Content here is never an official statement from a court, sheriff, or government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to government, court, legal-aid, and outside search services. We do not control their content, privacy practices, prices, or availability. Their own terms apply after a visitor follows a link.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Yadkin County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative work requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damage arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

North Carolina law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with website use must be brought in a court located in North Carolina.

12. Changes to These Terms

Revised terms take effect when they are posted to this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or ended at any time and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue. The affected provision will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
