Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Visiting a page, submitting a search, or reading its material constitutes agreement to every term below. Anyone who does not agree must discontinue use.

NO FCRA USE. No local, Oregon, or federal government body operates or is affiliated with this private website. The site and its advertising partners do not offer tools for tenant, employment, credit, insurance, or any other decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its limited role is to identify official Crook County and Oregon record sources. It is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation business.

1. What This Website Is

This is a privately operated reference site with no affiliation to a government office. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, performs official background checks, or files documents on another person's behalf.

Its reference material identifies sources that include the Crook County Sheriff's Office, Oregon Circuit Court, Oregon State Police CJIS, and the Oregon Sex Offender Registry. Optional outside research tools may also appear.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use of the site is conditioned on an agreement not to:

  • Operate bots, scrapers, or other automated tools against site pages
  • Interfere with performance or prevent another person from using the service
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or restricted area
  • Use site information to threaten, harass, or stalk a person
  • Rely on the content for housing, hiring, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Violate any applicable federal, Oregon, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Neither site material nor information from a linked tool may be used for harassment, stalking, intimidation, threats, or unlawful discrimination. Misuse of Oregon Sex Offender Registry information is restricted by Oregon law and can carry criminal consequences. Registry access supports lawful public-safety awareness, not vigilantism or an unlawful decision.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This operation is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produces no credit report, background check, or other consumer report. Its advertising partners likewise do not offer site tools designed for applicant screening, rental review, insurance pricing, or credit evaluation. Information from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:

  • Make any other decision regulated by the FCRA
  • Determine eligibility for a permit, license, or government benefit
  • Evaluate creditworthiness or establish an insurance premium
  • Assess a rental or housing application
  • Make a hiring, firing, or other employment decision

Any FCRA-regulated purpose requires an authorized official process or a consumer reporting agency that complies with the Act.

5. No Legal Advice

The material is informational and does not constitute legal advice. Although it describes Crook County records, it cannot decide how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Oregon set-aside provision affects an individual matter. A licensed Oregon attorney should provide advice about a specific situation.

6. No Warranties

All material and functions are supplied "as is," without a guarantee that:

  • An outside search provider's results will be accurate or complete
  • Pages contain no errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities
  • Access will remain continuous and uninterrupted
  • Information will always be complete, accurate, or current

Criminal records change as charges are filed, dismissed, set aside, or sealed. Updates and omissions can therefore occur. No content here is an official representation by a court, sheriff, or other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to sheriff websites, court portals, state agencies, legal-aid organizations, and external search providers. Once a visitor follows one, the destination is outside this site's control. No responsibility is accepted for its content, privacy practices, fees, availability, or operation. The destination's terms should be reviewed before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Crook County Criminal History or its content partners own the text, graphics, logos, and code. Prior written permission is required to copy, modify, adapt, or distribute that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, liability is disclaimed for damages arising from site use, including a decision based on information obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A visitor agrees to indemnify and hold the operator harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings arising from that visitor's use of the site or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by Oregon law. Any dispute arising from site use must be filed in a court situated in Oregon.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision becomes effective when the new version is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, every remaining provision continues in effect. The affected language will be modified only to the minimum degree required for enforceability.

15. Questions

Questions concerning these conditions may be directed through the Contact page.
