Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of content on Pulaski County Criminal History. Using the website indicates agreement with all terms stated below. Anyone who does not agree must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This private website has no affiliation with a local, state, or federal government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners supplies a service intended for credit decisions, employment screening, tenant screening, insurance eligibility, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation service.

1. What This Website Is

Pulaski County Criminal History is an independent reference site. It does not hold official records, conduct official background checks, retrieve files, or submit documents for a visitor.

Its content directs readers to actual custodians, including Pulaski County court clerks and the Sheriff's Office, town police departments, the Virginia Department of State Police Central Criminal Records Exchange, and the Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry. Virginia FOIA, Virginia Code § 2.2-3700 et seq., governs qualifying public-record requests, while Virginia Code § 19.2-389 separately controls CCRE dissemination.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, a visitor agrees not to:

  • Violate a federal, Virginia, or local law
  • Harass, threaten, stalk, or intimidate another person
  • Use site information for a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any website system
  • Send bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
  • Disrupt access, overload services, or interfere with another visitor

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information found here or through a linked service may not be used to harass, intimidate, stalk, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Virginia Code § 9.1-918 makes unauthorized use of registry information to intimidate or harass a crime. Registry content exists for lawful public-safety awareness, not vigilantism, blacklisting, or discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This website does not prepare consumer reports, credit reports, or background reports and is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. The same limitation applies to how a visitor may use content from the site or a linked tool. A visitor agrees not to use it to:

  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Set insurance eligibility, rates, or terms
  • Assess creditworthiness
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A legally compliant screening need must be handled through an authorized official process or a qualified FCRA-compliant provider, not through this website.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Pulaski County charge, warrant, conviction, sealing rule, or expungement provision applies to an individual matter. A licensed Virginia attorney should address those questions.

6. No Warranties

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

  • Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
  • The website will remain available without delay or interruption
  • Pages will be free from errors, defects, or security risks
  • Results from an outside search provider will be complete or correctly matched

Agency contacts, court entries, charges, dispositions, seals, and expungements can change. Nothing published here is an official statement from a Pulaski County or Virginia government office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

The website links to official agencies, court systems, legal resources, and outside search providers. A linked destination is controlled by its own operator. We are not responsible for its availability, content, prices, security, privacy practices, or terms, and visitors should review those terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, branding, logos, and code on this website belong to Pulaski County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create a derivative work without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from access to or use of this website, including action taken in reliance on site content or a linked provider.

10. Indemnification

A visitor agrees to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, proceedings, and related costs, including reasonable legal fees, that result from the visitor's use of the website or violation of these terms.

11. Governing Law

Virginia law governs these terms. A dispute arising from website use must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

12. Changes to These Terms

These conditions may be revised. A new version becomes effective when posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or ended at any time, with or without notice, when we choose to do so.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected provision will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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