Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to White County Criminal History. Reading its content, following a link, or using a search tool signals agreement to the full terms. A person who does not accept them should stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This is a private website with no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act purposes. The resource points to criminal-record channels in White County and Tennessee. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently from all government offices. It cannot file documents, perform an official check, retrieve a record, or store an official White County criminal file.

Its function is to identify custodians such as the White County Sheriff's Office, local courts, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry, along with outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is conditioned on an agreement not to:

  • Use automated scrapers, bots, or similar collection tools
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system or data
  • Harass, stalk, intimidate, or threaten a person
  • Interfere with site speed, availability, or another visitor's access
  • Make hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions from site content
  • Violate federal, Tennessee, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No site or linked-tool information may be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct can be unlawful. Tennessee registry data is provided for public safety awareness, not vigilantism or exclusion. Misuse can lead to criminal prosecution or civil liability under the Tennessee Sexual Offender and Violent Sexual Offender Registration, Verification and Tracking Act, Tenn. Code Ann. §40-39-201 et seq.

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 are not presented as tools for FCRA screening. Site or linked-tool information may not be used to:

  • Determine access to a license, permit, or public program
  • Make a credit or insurance decision
  • Evaluate a rental or housing application
  • Make an employment decision
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A person who needs a legally compliant check must use the appropriate official Tennessee process or a consumer reporting agency that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

General explanations about White County records are not legal advice. Only a licensed Tennessee attorney can advise how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement law applies to a specific matter.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are offered "as is." We make no promise that:

  • Partner search results will be complete or correct
  • Every page will be free from defects or security flaws
  • The service will remain available without interruption
  • All information will always be complete, current, and accurate

Charges, dispositions, expungements, and access rules can change. Gaps and delays are possible. No site content is an official statement by a court, sheriff, White County office, or Tennessee agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may open a government office, court portal, legal resource, or private service that we do not control. We are not responsible for an outside site's content, availability, fee, privacy practice, or terms. Review the destination's rules before use.

8. Intellectual Property

White County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, code, logos, and graphics. Written permission is required to copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative work from that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage resulting from use of the website, its content, or an outside service reached through it.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, actions, legal fees, and related costs caused by your site use or violation of these conditions.

11. Governing Law

Tennessee law governs these terms, including applicable Tennessee Public Records Act provisions at Tenn. Code Ann. §10-7-501 et seq. A dispute tied to website use must be brought in a court located in Tennessee.

12. Changes to These Terms

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

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend or end access at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

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

15. Questions
