Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of content on Montgomery County Criminal History. Accessing the site signifies agreement to all terms below. If you do not agree, discontinue use of the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no connection to a local, Tennessee, or federal government body. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or another purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This resource helps readers locate Montgomery County criminal-record sources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site, independent of all government offices. It does not store official records, retrieve files, conduct official background checks, or submit documents for visitors.

Its guides identify the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, local courts, TBI Criminal Justice Information Services, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry as distinct custodians, and may also connect readers with outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you must not:

  • Use site content for harassment, threats, or stalking
  • Employ bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools
  • Violate federal, Tennessee, or local law
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Use content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Disrupt site performance or interfere with another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Tennessee Sex Offender Registry information is made public under TCA ยง40-39-206 for safety awareness. TBI warns that misuse against a registrant, including threats or harassment, can lead to criminal prosecution and civil liability. Vigilante action and discriminatory use are forbidden.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Our advertising partners likewise do not offer services here for evaluating applicants, renters, insurance eligibility, or creditworthiness. Site or linked-tool data must not be used to:

  • Set insurance premiums or assess creditworthiness
  • Evaluate a housing or rental applicant
  • Make an employment decision
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated activity

A legally permitted check for a regulated purpose must be obtained through the appropriate official process or an FCRA-compliant provider.

5. No Legal Advice

The site supplies general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Montgomery County charge, conviction, warrant, or Tennessee expungement law affects a particular situation. Seek a Tennessee-licensed attorney for legal guidance.

6. No Warranties

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

  • Outside search results will be complete or correct
  • The site will operate continuously
  • Information will always be complete, accurate, and current
  • Every page will be free from errors or security defects

Charges, dispositions, sealing, and expungement can change a record after publication. Gaps and delays are possible, and no site content is an official statement by MCSO, a court, TBI, or any other agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links to sheriff, court, Tennessee agency, legal-resource, and outside search pages lead to services we do not control. We accept no responsibility for their content, privacy practices, fees, or availability. Review the destination's own terms.

8. Intellectual Property

Montgomery County Criminal History or its content partners owns the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative works requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of this site or reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Tennessee law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with use of this website must be brought in a court located in Tennessee.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revision takes effect when posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected term will be modified only as far as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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