Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not store official records, retrieve them, perform official checks, or file documents for a visitor.

Its content identifies the Del Norte County Sheriff, Superior Court of California, California Department of Justice, and California Megan's Law Website as distinct official record sources. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.

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

You may not use information found here or through a linked tool to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may be criminal. California law places special limits on misuse of California Megan's Law Website data, including Penal Code section 290.46. Registry information serves public safety, not vigilante action or unlawful 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

Any check for a regulated purpose must come from a lawful, FCRA-compliant provider or the official California channel authorized for that use.

5. No Legal Advice

Nothing here is legal advice. General information about Del Norte County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, sealing rule, or expungement law applies to one person. Seek advice from a California-licensed attorney.

6. No Warranties

All website content and functions are supplied "as is." We make no promise 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

Charges, dispositions, sealing orders, and expungement relief can change a record. Updates may lag or contain gaps. Nothing here is an official statement from the Del Norte County Sheriff, Superior Court, or another government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to Sheriff pages, court portals, California agencies, legal resources, or outside search providers. We do not control a destination's content, availability, fees, or data practices and accept no responsibility for them. Review its terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Del Norte County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, modified, or adapted without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for losses arising from use of this website or reliance on information obtained here or from a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless against claims or demands caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.

11. Governing Law

California law governs these terms, including applicable consumer protections under the Unfair Competition Law, Business and Professions Code section 17200 et seq. A dispute tied to use of this site must be brought in a court located in California.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A revised version takes effect when it 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 stay effective. The affected language will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
