Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Reading a page, submitting a search, or otherwise continuing to browse signals acceptance of every term below. Anyone who does not agree should discontinue use.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, state, or federal agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners supplies a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its role is limited to helping visitors locate criminal-record resources for Sumner County and Tennessee. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently of government. It cannot retrieve an official record, perform an official background check, submit a filing, or maintain a government criminal-record database.

Its content identifies official custodians of Sumner County records, such as Sheriff Records, criminal-court clerks, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation repository, and the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect visitors to outside search providers.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use of the service is conditioned on the following limits. You must not:

  • Use site content for an FCRA-regulated decision
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass another person with information found here
  • Violate any federal, Tennessee, or local law
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
  • Send bots, scrapers, or automated requests through the pages
  • Interfere with service availability or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No information obtained here or through a linked tool may be used to stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate against another person. Tennessee's registry warns that misuse of Tennessee Sex Offender Registry data can create criminal and civil consequences. That public record exists for safety and awareness, not private retaliation or vigilantism.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Services on or linked from these pages are not offered for regulated screening. You agree not to use site or tool data 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 legally regulated check must come from an appropriate official channel or an FCRA-compliant consumer reporting agency, not from this resource.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is not legal advice. General explanations about Sumner County records cannot decide how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement law applies to an individual matter. Consult a licensed Tennessee attorney for advice.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are supplied "as is," without a 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 may be filed, changed, dismissed, or expunged, and agencies can revise fees or access rules. Gaps and delays are possible. Nothing published here is an official statement from a Tennessee court, the Sheriff, or another government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to courts, the Sheriff, Tennessee agencies, legal resources, and outside search companies. Those destinations are outside our control. We are not responsible for their availability, prices, content, privacy practices, or results. Review each provider's terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Sumner County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create another work without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for losses arising from use of the website, its information, or any linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Tennessee law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the site must be brought in a court located in Tennessee.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised. A posted revision takes effect when it appears on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be suspended or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected language will be narrowed only as much as needed.

15. Questions
