Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government connection. It neither stores official criminal records nor obtains records, performs official checks, or files documents for a visitor.

The content identifies custodians for Catawba County records, including Sheriff Records, 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 connect visitors with outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use of the website is conditioned on the following restrictions:

• Do not violate federal, North Carolina, or local law.
• Do not stalk, threaten, or harass another person with information found here.
• Do not use the content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
• Do not seek unauthorized access to any system or account.
• Do not deploy bots, scraping software, or another automated collection tool.
• Do not disrupt service or interfere with another visitor's access.

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No information obtained here or through a linked tool may be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate. Such conduct can also violate criminal law. North Carolina places particular limits on misuse of its Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry. Registry information supports public safety awareness and does not authorize vigilantism, blacklisting, or discriminatory treatment.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produce no consumer report, credit report, or official background check. Our advertising partners do not offer their tools here for evaluating job applicants, rental applications, insurance rates, or credit. Information from the website or a linked tool must not be used 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

A regulated background check must come from an authorized official route or an FCRA-compliant screening provider, not from this website.

5. No Legal Advice

The material is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Catawba County charge, conviction, warrant, or expunction rule applies to a particular person. Obtain advice from a licensed North Carolina attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are provided "as is." No warranty is made 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 may be filed, amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged, so criminal records can change at any time. Gaps and delays are possible. Only the source court, sheriff, or government agency can make an official statement about its record.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to sheriff and court pages, state agencies, legal resources, and outside search providers. Those destinations are independently operated. We do not control their content, privacy practices, charges, terms, or availability. Review the destination's terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Catawba County Criminal History or the relevant content partner. Copying, distribution, modification, or derivative use requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the broadest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damage arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against a claim or demand caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

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

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised. A new version takes effect when posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or terminated at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as needed to make it enforceable.
