Terms of Use

These conditions control use of Carson City Criminal History. Accessing a page, reading its content, or submitting a search signifies agreement to every term below. Anyone who does not agree must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. Carson City Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, Nevada, or federal government body. This site and its advertising partners do not offer services for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant screening, or another purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The website is a reference for Carson City and Nevada criminal-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

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

Its purpose is to identify the custodians of Carson City records, including the Sheriff’s Office, local court clerks, the Nevada State Police RCCD Records Bureau, and the Nevada Public Sex Offender Registry. Access to government records remains subject to laws such as the Nevada Public Records Act, NRS Chapter 239, and the criminal-history rules in NRS Chapter 179A. Some pages also connect users with outside search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, a user must not:

  • Use bots, scrapers, or other automated means against the pages
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any account, server, or system
  • Interfere with site speed, availability, or another visitor’s access
  • Use information to stalk, threaten, or harass another person
  • Rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Violate a federal, Nevada, or local law through use of the site

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use information found here or through a linked service to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or discriminate against another person. Such conduct may also be criminal. This restriction is especially important for Nevada Public Sex Offender Registry data, which is published for safety awareness under Nevada law and remains subject to the registry’s use conditions. It is not provided for vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Carson City Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not produce a credit report, consumer report, or official background check. Its advertising partners likewise do not provide tools intended to screen applicants, assess rental requests, set insurance rates, or evaluate creditworthiness. Information from the site or any linked tool must not be used to:

  • Make any other decision regulated by the FCRA
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government program
  • Evaluate creditworthiness or determine an insurance premium
  • Screen a renter or housing applicant
  • Make a hiring or firing decision

A legally permissible check for one of those purposes must be obtained through an appropriate official channel or an FCRA-compliant screening provider.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Carson City charge, conviction, warrant, or Nevada record-sealing rule affects a particular matter. Individual legal guidance should come from a Nevada-licensed attorney.

6. No Warranties

All site content and functions are supplied "as is." No warranty is made that:

  • A partner search result will be complete or correct
  • The pages contain no error, bug, or security weakness
  • The website will operate continuously without interruption
  • Information will always be accurate, complete, and current

Criminal records can change when charges are filed, dismissed, corrected, or sealed. Delays and gaps may occur. No content on this site is an official statement by a court, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, the Nevada State Police RCCD Records Bureau, or another government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may point to Carson City government offices, court resources, Nevada agencies, legal-aid organizations, and independent search services. Following a link takes the visitor to a service outside our control. We are not responsible for its content, data practices, prices, accuracy, or availability. Its own terms should be reviewed before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Carson City Criminal History or its content partners own the site’s text, graphics, logos, and code. The material may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create derivative content without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from site use, including reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A user agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless from a demand, claim, or action caused by that user’s conduct on the site or violation of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.

11. Governing Law

Nevada law governs these terms. Any dispute related to use of the website must be brought in a court located in the State of Nevada.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be changed at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all other provisions remain effective. The affected language will be modified only to the extent needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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