Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Visiting a page, reading its material, or using a search feature signifies agreement with every term below. Anyone who does not agree should stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a local, Kentucky, or federal agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify official criminal-record resources in Hart County, Kentucky. It is not a private investigation service or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government connection. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, runs an official check, or files documents for a visitor.

Its material identifies the Hart Sheriff, jail, Hart Office of Circuit Court Clerk, Kentucky State Police, AOC, Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry, and other sources. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Run a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
  • Harass, stalk, intimidate, or threaten someone with information found here
  • Interfere with service or prevent another person from using the site
  • Use the material for a hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decision
  • Attempt unauthorized access to a system or account
  • Violate federal, state, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate. Such conduct may also violate the law. Kentucky registry information demands special care. Data from the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry supports public-safety awareness and does not authorize vigilantism, harassment, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background checks, or consumer reports. The same is true of the services offered here by advertising partners. Data from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:

  • Set an insurance rate or assess creditworthiness
  • Evaluate a housing or rental application
  • Make an employment decision
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government program
  • Serve any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

A lawful FCRA-regulated check must come from an appropriate official or FCRA-compliant provider, not from this resource.

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is not legal advice. General information about Hart County records cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement rule applies to one case. Seek advice from a Kentucky-licensed attorney.

6. No Warranties

Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not 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

Criminal records can change as charges are filed, dismissed, amended, sealed, or expunged. Gaps are unavoidable. No website statement is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may open sheriff, court, state-agency, legal-resource, or outside search pages. Those services are beyond our control. We are not responsible for their content, data practices, prices, or availability. Their own terms should be reviewed before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Hart County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or adapted without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

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

10. Indemnification

A user agrees to hold us harmless from claims, actions, or demands caused by that user's conduct or breach of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.

11. Governing Law

Kentucky law governs these terms. A dispute connected to website use must be filed in a court located in Kentucky.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised. A new version takes effect when it is 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 term is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue. The affected language is adjusted only as much as required for enforcement.

15. Questions

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