Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site that operates independently of government. It does not keep official criminal records, retrieve files, perform official background checks, or submit documents for a visitor.

Its information points toward the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office, the Magistrate and Circuit courts, the West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, and the West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry. It may also connect visitors with outside search tools. Public records held by West Virginia bodies remain subject to the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W. Va. Code §29B-1-1 et seq., and other applicable access limits.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you agree not to:

• Operate bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
• Violate any applicable federal, West Virginia, or local law
• Attempt unauthorized access to any system or restricted function
• Use information to stalk, threaten, or harass another person
• Use site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
• Disrupt service, burden the website, or interfere with another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information from this website or a linked tool to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate the law. This restriction is especially important for the West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry. Registry information is published for public safety awareness, not vigilantism, employment blacklisting, housing discrimination, or retaliation against a listed person.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produce no background check, credit report, or other consumer report. Our advertising partners likewise do not provide services through this website for evaluating applicants, rental requests, insurance risk, or credit. You must not use information from the site or a linked tool to:

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

Any legally permissible check for such a purpose must come from an authorized, FCRA-compliant provider. West Virginia State Police dissemination also follows the written-authorization rule in W. Va. Code §15-2-24(d).

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is not legal advice. General information about Calhoun County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law applies to a specific person. Seek advice from a licensed West Virginia attorney for an individual legal matter.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are provided "as is." We make no guarantee that:

• Partner search results are accurate or complete
• The website will remain available without interruption
• Any page is free from errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities
• Information is complete, accurate, or current when viewed

Criminal records can change when charges are filed, amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Updates may not be reflected here at once. No website statement should be treated as an official declaration by the Calhoun County Sheriff, a court, or another government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to government offices, court systems, state agencies, legal-aid groups, and outside search providers. Those destinations are beyond our control. We are not responsible for their availability, content, fees, security, or data practices. Read the destination's own terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

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

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages arising from website use, including actions taken in reliance on information found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

West Virginia law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of this website must be brought in a court located in West Virginia.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

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

15. Questions

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