Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Visiting a page, reading its content, or running a search signifies acceptance. Anyone who does not agree must stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act decisions. Its purpose is to identify official criminal-record resources in Clackamas County, Oregon. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no connection to a government office. It neither stores official records nor retrieves them, runs official checks, or files documents for a user.

Its content directs readers to Clackamas County custodians, Oregon Circuit Court, Oregon State Police Criminal Justice Information Services, and the Oregon Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to third-party research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is permitted only if you agree not to:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information found here or through a linked tool must not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate. Oregon law, including ORS 163A.215 and 163A.225, controls disclosure and misuse of Oregon Sex Offender Registry information. Registry data supports public safety awareness and never authorizes vigilantism or unlawful discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Its advertising partners do not turn this service into a lawful screening product. Data from this site or a linked tool may 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

Any legally permitted screening process must use an appropriate official or FCRA-compliant provider, not information from this site.

5. No Legal Advice

The material is general information, not legal advice. A licensed Oregon attorney should address how a charge, warrant, conviction, or set-aside rule affects a specific matter.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are supplied "as is," without a guarantee 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

Records can change as charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, or set aside. Gaps may occur, and no page should be treated as an official statement from a court, sheriff, or agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to government, court, legal-resource, and outside search websites that we do not control. Their content, availability, prices, and data practices are their responsibility. Review their terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Clackamas County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distributing, changing, or building upon them requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

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

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

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

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised, and a new version becomes effective when posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the others remain effective. The affected language will be adjusted only as far as needed for enforcement.

15. Questions
