Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government affiliation. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, performs official background checks, or files documents on a visitor's behalf.

Its function is to identify Brown County record holders, including the sheriff, Brown County Court, Brown District Court, the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. It may also connect readers with outside tools that support personal research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you must not:

• Use the website in violation of federal, Nebraska, or local law
• Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or restricted area
• Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
• Deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated access tools against these pages
• Rely on site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
• Interfere with performance or prevent others from accessing the site

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information obtained here or through a linked tool to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate the law. Nebraska Sex Offender Registry information is published for lawful public-safety awareness. It may not be turned into vigilante action, unlawful discrimination, or blacklisting of a listed person.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, consumer reports, or background checks. Our advertising partners and this site are not services for reviewing applicants, setting insurance rates, or evaluating credit. You agree never to use site or linked-tool data to:

• Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
• Make a hiring or termination decision
• Evaluate a renter or housing application
• Assess credit or establish an insurance premium
• Carry out any other decision regulated by the FCRA

A check for a regulated purpose must come from a legally appropriate official channel or an FCRA-compliant screening company, not this website.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Brown County charge, conviction, warrant, adult-sealing rule, or set-aside procedure applies to an individual. Seek advice from a Nebraska-licensed attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are offered "as is." We make no promise that:

• Partner search results will be complete or correct
• Information will always be current, accurate, or complete
• The website will remain continuously available
• Every page will be free from bugs, errors, or security defects

Criminal records can change when charges are filed or dismissed and when a Nebraska court seals a case or sets aside a conviction. Updates may lag. No site content is an official statement from the sheriff, a court, the Nebraska State Patrol, or another government office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to a sheriff, court, Nebraska agency, legal-aid organization, or outside search provider. We do not control the destination and accept no responsibility for its content, availability, prices, or data practices. Review the third party's terms before using its service.

8. Intellectual Property

Brown County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. You may not reproduce, alter, distribute, or create derivative work from that material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from site use, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Nebraska law governs these terms, and any dispute related to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Nebraska. For context, the Nebraska Public Records Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 84-712 through 84-712.09, governs public-body records, while Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-3523 limits dissemination of certain official criminal-history information. Neither law makes this private site an official source.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these conditions at any time. A revision becomes effective when the updated terms are posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend, restrict, or end access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected provision will be modified only to the extent needed for enforcement.

15. Questions
