Terms of Use

These terms govern every visit, search, and use of content on Claiborne County Criminal History. Continuing to use the website means you accept each condition below. If you do not agree, stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately owned site has no government affiliation and is not a consumer reporting agency. Neither the site nor an advertising partner provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other Fair Credit Reporting Act purpose. Its role is limited to helping visitors locate Claiborne County and Tennessee criminal-record resources.

1. What This Website Is

Claiborne County Criminal History is an independent reference site. It does not hold official records, perform government background checks, retrieve files, or submit documents for visitors.

Content routes readers to the Claiborne County sheriff and courts, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry, and outside services that may assist with research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Violate federal, Tennessee, or local law
  • Stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass another person
  • Use site information for an FCRA-regulated decision
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Run bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool must not be used to threaten, stalk, intimidate, harass, or discriminate. Tennessee registry information carries a specific warning against threats, retribution, and added punishment. It exists for public safety awareness, never vigilante action.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We do not create credit reports, background reports, or any other consumer report. Site content and linked tools may not be used to:

  • Make a hiring or firing decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing application
  • Determine creditworthiness or insurance pricing
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

When law requires an official check, use the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation or another provider qualified for that purpose.

5. No Legal Advice

Explanations of Claiborne County records are general information, not legal advice. A licensed Tennessee attorney should advise how a charge, warrant, judgment, or expungement law affects an individual matter.

6. No Warranties

All services and content are supplied "as is." We make no promise that:

  • Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
  • The site will operate without interruption
  • Pages will be free of errors or security flaws
  • A partner search will produce a complete or correct match

Records change as cases move, charges are dismissed, and expungement orders are processed. Only the official custodian can confirm a current record.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to government agencies, courts, legal resources, and independent search companies. We do not control their content, prices, privacy practices, availability, or terms. Review each destination's rules before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the site's text, code, logo, and graphics belong to Claiborne County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, altered, distributed, or used to create another work without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for loss or damage arising from use of the site, reliance on its content, or use of a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, proceedings, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your site use or violation of these terms.

11. Governing Law

Tennessee law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from site use must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Tennessee.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these conditions. A new version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or ended at any time, with or without notice, when we determine that action is appropriate.

14. Severability

If one term is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected term will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be submitted through the Contact page.
