Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of this website. Reading a page, using a search tool, or otherwise continuing on the site constitutes agreement to them. Anyone who does not accept the terms must stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not connected with a government agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify Asotin County and Washington criminal-record resources. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is an independent private reference site, not a government office. It does not store official records, retrieve files, perform official checks, or submit documents for a visitor.

The site identifies Asotin County Sheriff's Records, local criminal courts, Washington State Patrol, and the Washington Sex Offender Public Registry as official sources and may also connect users with outside 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 stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may be criminal. Washington law places particular limits on misuse of Washington Sex Offender Public Registry information. Registry disclosure supports public safety awareness and does not authorize vigilantism, 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 consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. The site and its advertising partners do not provide tools intended to evaluate applicants, renters, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. Information 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

A check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must be obtained through an appropriate official process or an FCRA-compliant screening provider, not through this site.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Washington attorney can advise how an Asotin County charge, conviction, warrant, vacation rule, or sealing procedure applies to a specific situation.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are supplied "as is," without any 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

Charges, dismissals, vacation orders, sealing decisions, and other criminal-record events can change an official file. Gaps are unavoidable, and no site content is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or other agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to Sheriff pages, court portals, Washington agencies, legal resources, and outside search services that we do not control. We are not responsible for a destination's content, privacy practices, fees, or availability. Its own terms should be reviewed before use.

8. Intellectual Property

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

9. Limits on Our Liability

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

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Washington law governs these terms. Relevant state frameworks include the Washington Public Records Act, chapter 42.56 RCW, the criminal-history dissemination rules in chapter 10.97 RCW, and the Washington Consumer Protection Act, chapter 19.86 RCW. A dispute related to use of the site must be brought in a court located in Washington.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised, and a posted revision becomes effective when it appears on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as far as needed for enforcement.

15. Questions

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