Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently of government. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves files, performs official checks, or submits documents for a user.

Its content routes readers to Washington County custodians, including the sheriff, Washington Combined Court, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, and the Colorado Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also display tools run by outside providers.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

• 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

Using information from this site, or from any tool linked here, to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against any person is prohibited and may be a crime. This applies with special force to sex offender registry information: Colorado law restricts how Colorado Sex Offender Registry data may be used, and misusing registry information against a listed person can carry criminal penalties. Registry data exists for public safety awareness, not for vigilante action, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool 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

If you need a background check for any of those purposes, order an official check through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation or an FCRA-compliant screening company.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Colorado attorney can assess how a charge, conviction, warrant, sealing rule, or juvenile expungement rule applies to particular facts.

6. No Warranties

Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not 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

Criminal records change all the time - charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, and expunged. We try to keep up, but gaps are unavoidable. Nothing on this site should be treated as an official statement from a court, sheriff, or government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff, court, state-agency, legal-aid, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination controls its own content, privacy practices, availability, and prices. Review that service's terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

All text, graphics, logos, and code on this site belong to Washington County Criminal History or our content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or build on our content without getting written permission first.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that come from using this site - including decisions made based on information found here or through any linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to hold us harmless from any claim, legal action, or demand that stems from how you used this site or from breaking these terms. That includes covering our legal fees and related costs.

11. Governing Law

Colorado law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from site use must be brought in a court located in Colorado.

12. Changes to These Terms

Revised terms become effective when posted here. Continued use after posting signifies acceptance of the revision.

13. Cutting Off Access

We can limit or block your access to this site at any time, for any reason, with no warning.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in force. The affected language is narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
