Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of this website. Viewing its content, searching through a tool displayed here, or otherwise using a page means that you accept the full Terms of Use. Anyone who does not agree with these conditions must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a federal, North Carolina, Warren County, or municipal government agency. This site and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or another purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its function is to direct visitors to criminal-record resources for Warren County and North Carolina. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation business.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site operated independently of all government offices. It does not maintain official criminal records. It also cannot retrieve records, perform an official background check, or submit documents for a visitor.

The content identifies the agencies that hold Warren County records, including the Warren 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. Some pages also provide access to third-party research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you agree not to:

  • Use bots, scrapers, or other automated means against the website
  • Interfere with website performance or another visitor's access
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or restricted area
  • Use information obtained here to threaten, stalk, or harass a person
  • Rely on site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Violate any applicable local, North Carolina, or federal law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from this website or a linked tool must not be used to stalk, threaten, intimidate, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. Such conduct is forbidden here and may also violate the law. North Carolina places specific controls on registry data. G.S. 14-208.15A makes it unlawful to use information from the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry to commit a criminal offense against a registrant or that person's property. Registry access supports public safety awareness, not vigilantism, housing discrimination, or employment blacklisting.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This website is not a consumer reporting agency as the FCRA defines that term. It does not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Its advertising partners likewise do not offer tools here for evaluating rental applications, screening job applicants, setting insurance rates, or assessing creditworthiness. You must not use information from this website or a linked tool to:

  • Set an insurance premium or assess creditworthiness
  • Evaluate a prospective renter or housing applicant
  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA

A lawful check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must be obtained from a properly authorized, FCRA-compliant provider. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation publishes official state criminal-history review channels, but each requester remains responsible for selecting a service permitted for the intended use.

5. No Legal Advice

The material on this website is general information, not legal advice. Descriptions of Warren County records cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, or North Carolina expunction law applies to a specific person. Advice about an individual matter must come from a lawyer licensed in North Carolina.

6. No Warranties

All website content and functions are supplied "as is." No warranty is made that:

  • A partner search tool will return complete or correct results
  • The website will remain available without interruption
  • Every page is free from bugs, mistakes, or security flaws
  • Information will always be accurate, complete, and current

Criminal records can change when charges are filed or dismissed and when a North Carolina court grants an expunction under Article 5 of Chapter 15A. Updates and omissions may therefore occur. Website content is not an official statement of the Warren County Sheriff, the Clerk of Superior Court, or another government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to a sheriff's office, court portal, North Carolina agency, legal-aid resource, or outside search service. Following a link takes the visitor to a service this website does not operate or control. We accept no responsibility for an external service's availability, fees, privacy practices, or content. Review that provider's own terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Warren County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, code, logos, and graphics. The material may not be copied, adapted, distributed, modified, or used to create another work without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from access to or use of this website. This limitation includes harm tied to reliance on information obtained here or from a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against a claim, demand, or legal proceeding caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms. That duty includes reasonable legal fees and related expenses.

11. Governing Law

North Carolina law governs these Terms of Use. Any dispute arising from use of this website must be brought in a court located in North Carolina.

12. Changes to These Terms

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

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the website at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected term will be modified only to the extent needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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