Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of content on Tazewell County Criminal History. Using the website means accepting all terms stated below. Anyone who does not agree must stop using it.

NO FCRA USE. Tazewell County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not offer tools for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource helps visitors locate official criminal-record sources in Tazewell County, Virginia. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation firm.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently of all government offices. It does not store official records, obtain criminal histories, conduct state checks, or submit filings for a visitor.

Its role is to identify custodians such as the Tazewell County Sheriff, Tazewell court clerks, Virginia Department of State Police Central Criminal Records Exchange, and Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry. It may also connect visitors to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, a visitor agrees not to:

  • Use bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
  • Harass, stalk, threaten, or intimidate anyone with information found here
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Use the content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Disrupt service, slow the site, or interfere with another visitor's access
  • Violate federal, Virginia, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No visitor may use site content or linked results to stalk, intimidate, harass, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against another person. Registry information receives particular protection. Virginia Code §9.1-912 governs dissemination from the Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry for public protection and registry administration. Misuse may be criminal. The data does not authorize vigilantism or prohibited discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and creates no consumer report, credit report, or official background check. Its advertising partners are not presented as providers for applicant screening, rental review, insurance underwriting, or credit decisions. Data from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:

  • Evaluate credit or determine an insurance premium
  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Assess a rental or housing application
  • Determine eligibility for a permit, license, or public program
  • Carry out any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

A check for a regulated purpose must come through the legally authorized Virginia Department of State Police process or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The material is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Tazewell County charge, conviction, warrant, sealing rule, or expungement rule affects a particular person. Seek advice from a licensed Virginia attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are supplied "as is." There is no guarantee that:

  • A partner's search result will be accurate or complete
  • The website will remain available without interruption
  • Published information is complete, correct, or current
  • Every page is free from defects, errors, or security weaknesses

Charges may be filed, changed, dismissed, sealed, or expunged after publication. Gaps and delays are possible. No statement here is an official declaration from the sheriff, a court, Virginia State Police, or another government body.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to official Tazewell County offices, Virginia court and agency portals, legal resources, or commercial search services. A destination is outside this site's control. Its availability, charges, content, and data handling are its own responsibility, so review the destination's terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, code, logos, and graphics belong to Tazewell County Criminal History or its content partners. No one may reproduce, adapt, distribute, or build upon that material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the site is not liable for damages arising from its use, including reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A visitor agrees to defend and hold the site harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by that visitor's use or breach of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.

11. Governing Law

Virginia law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

12. Changes to These Terms

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

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

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

15. Questions

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