Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Reading a page or using a search feature signifies agreement. Anyone who does not accept the conditions should stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated site is not affiliated with a government body, is not a private investigator, and is not a consumer reporting agency. 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 Charlton County and Georgia record resources.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently of government. It neither stores nor retrieves official criminal records, performs official checks, or submits documents for a user.

Its content routes readers to the Charlton County Sheriff, local courts, GBI/GCIC and the Georgia Sex Offender Registry, along with separately operated research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • 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

No one may use information found here or through a linked tool to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten or discriminate. Misuse may also violate the law. Georgia Sex Offender Registry information is provided for public safety awareness and must not be used for vigilantism 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 consumer reports, credit reports or screening products. Data from this website or a linked tool must 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

A legally compliant check for a regulated purpose must come from an authorized official channel or a provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The site provides general information, not legal advice about a Charlton County charge, conviction, warrant or Georgia record restriction. Individual advice should come from a licensed Georgia attorney.

6. No Warranties

All material is 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

Criminal records can change through filing, dismissal, correction, restriction or sealing. Gaps and delays are possible, and nothing published here is an official statement from a court, sheriff or agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to independently operated government, legal-aid and search services. We do not control their content, privacy practices, prices or availability. Their own terms apply after a visitor leaves this website.

8. Intellectual Property

Charlton County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos and code. Copying, distribution, modification or derivative use requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of the site or reliance on information from it or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Georgia law governs these terms. A dispute related to use of the site must be brought in a court located in Georgia.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms, with a revision effective when posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or terminated at any time, for any reason and without advance notice.

14. Severability
