Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to Harney County Criminal History. Opening its pages, reading its material, or using a search feature signifies acceptance of every term below. Anyone who does not agree must discontinue use.

NO FCRA USE. This privately owned site has no government affiliation. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or another Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) purpose. Its function is to help readers locate Harney County and Oregon record resources. It is not an investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

Harney County Criminal History is a privately run reference resource with no government relationship. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, performs official checks, or submits filings for a user.

Its material directs readers to the Harney County sheriff, Oregon courts, Oregon State Police CJIS, Oregon Sex Offender Online Search, and other custodians. Some links or search boxes may lead to outside research services.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is conditioned on an agreement 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

No information obtained here or through a linked service may be used to stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or discriminate. ORS Chapter 163A limits misuse of Oregon registry information and permits legal consequences. Public registry access exists for safety, not retaliation or vigilante conduct.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool 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 check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come from an authorized, compliant provider. Oregon State Police CJIS supplies official Oregon criminal-history processes, but users remain responsible for choosing the legally proper channel.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. Only a qualified Oregon attorney can assess how a warrant, charge, conviction, or set-aside law applies to an individual matter.

6. No Warranties

All material and services are offered "as is," without a promise 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

Charges may be filed or dismissed, and records may later be restricted or set aside. Updates can create unavoidable gaps. Content here is never an official statement by a sheriff, court, or government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can open sheriff, court, state-agency, legal-aid, or commercial search websites that we do not operate. Their availability, prices, content, and privacy practices are their responsibility. Review the destination's terms before proceeding.

8. Intellectual Property

Harney County Criminal History and its content partners retain rights in the site's writing, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, adapting, distributing, or creating derivative material requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for losses arising from use of the site, its information, or any service reached through a link.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

These conditions are governed by Oregon law. Litigation arising from site use must be filed in an Oregon court with proper jurisdiction.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these conditions at any time. A revised version takes effect upon publication on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be suspended, restricted, or ended at any time and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in force. The affected language will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
