Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of this website. Browsing a page, reading its content, or using a search tool signals acceptance of every term below. Anyone who does not agree must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, state, or federal agency. The site and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit decisions, employment screening, tenant screening, insurance eligibility, or any other Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) purpose. Its function is to help readers locate Henderson County and Tennessee criminal-record resources. It is neither a private investigation service nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site operated independently from government. It does not store official criminal records and cannot retrieve a record, perform an official background check, or submit paperwork for a visitor.

The content identifies offices that keep Henderson County records, such as the sheriff, local criminal courts, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. It may also connect readers to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, you agree not to:

  • Use automated bots or scrapers against the pages
  • Stalk, threaten, or harass anyone with information found here
  • Attempt to enter restricted systems or obtain unauthorized access
  • Use site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Disrupt performance or interfere with another person's access
  • Violate any applicable federal, Tennessee, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use information from this website or a linked service to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against another person. Such conduct may also violate criminal law. Tennessee registry information requires special care: T.C.A. ยงยง40-39-206 and 40-39-208 govern public registry data and knowing violations. The Tennessee Sex Offender Registry supports public-safety awareness, not vigilante conduct or unlawful discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

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

  • Determine access to a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Make an employment decision
  • Evaluate a housing applicant
  • Assess credit or insurance eligibility
  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA

A check required for a regulated purpose must come from the proper official channel or a provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is not legal advice. General explanations of Henderson County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expunction law applies to an individual matter. Consult a licensed Tennessee attorney for that advice.

6. No Warranties

All website content and functions are offered "as is." We make no promise that:

  • Pages will be free from mistakes, bugs, or security weaknesses
  • Partner-search results will be complete or correct
  • The service will remain available without interruption
  • Every fact will be complete, accurate, and current

Criminal records change as charges are filed, dismissed, restricted, or expunged. Updates can lag and gaps can occur. No website content is an official statement from a court, sheriff, TBI, or any other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff pages, court portals, Tennessee agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. We do not operate those destinations and are not responsible for their content, availability, fees, or data practices. Review the destination's terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Henderson County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. No one may copy, alter, distribute, or create derivative material from that content without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage arising from website use, including reliance on content found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, actions, or demands caused by your website use or violation of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.

11. Governing Law

Tennessee law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from website use must be filed in a court located within Tennessee.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend or end 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 changed only as far as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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