NO FCRA USE. This privately owned website is not connected to Guilford County, North Carolina, or any government body. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency. The site and its advertising partners do not offer tools for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions, or for any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
1. What This Website Is
Guilford County Criminal History is a private reference site with no government affiliation. It does not keep official criminal records, conduct official checks, retrieve documents, or submit filings for a user.
Its content identifies custodians such as Guilford County Sheriff's Office, the Clerk of Superior Court, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, and the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry. North Carolina government access is governed in part by the Public Records Law, Chapter 132, while G.S. 114-19 separately limits SBI criminal-history dissemination. Neither law makes this private site an official records source.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the site is conditioned on an agreement not to:
- Run bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
- Stalk, threaten, or harass a person with information found through the site
- Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access
- Make employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions from site content
- Gain or attempt unauthorized access to systems or data
- Violate any applicable federal, North Carolina, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No person may use this site or a linked service to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against someone. The North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry's Acceptable Use Policy warns that conduct involving threats, intimidation, stalking, or harassment may be prosecuted under applicable criminal laws. Registry data is provided for safety and information, not retaliation, vigilantism, or prohibited screening. These terms do not claim a separate registry-specific misuse offense that North Carolina law does not identify.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Guilford County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create credit reports, consumer reports, or official background checks. Its advertising partners are not presented as providers for FCRA-regulated screening. Information from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Evaluate a rental or other housing application
- Set insurance eligibility, terms, or premiums
- Make a hiring, firing, or other employment decision
- Assess creditworthiness or make any other FCRA-regulated decision
A legally permissible regulated check must be obtained from an authorized official channel or a consumer reporting agency that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Guilford County charge, warrant, conviction, or North Carolina expunction law applies to a specific set of facts. Advice must come from a licensed North Carolina attorney.
6. No Warranties
All material and features are supplied "as is." No warranty is made that:
- An outside search provider's response will be accurate or complete
- Every page will be free from errors, bugs, or security flaws
- Site access will remain continuous and uninterrupted
- Published information will always be complete, accurate, or current
Charges and case entries may be filed, changed, dismissed, restricted, or expunged. Updates can therefore lag. No statement on this site is an official representation from the Guilford County Clerk, Sheriff's Office, SBI, or another government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to sheriff, court, state-agency, legal-aid, or independent search websites. Those destinations operate outside this site's control. Guilford County Criminal History is not responsible for an external site's content, availability, prices, data handling, or terms, which should be reviewed before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Guilford County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, altered, or used to make derivative material without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Guilford County Criminal History is not liable for damages arising from site use, including reliance on information obtained here or through an external service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold the site harmless against claims, demands, or legal actions caused by your use of the website or a breach of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.
11. Governing Law
North Carolina law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the site must be brought in a court located in North Carolina.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access to all or part of the website may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
