Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

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

The material routes readers to the Wayne County Sheriff, Circuit Clerk, Missouri State Highway Patrol Criminal Justice Information Services Division, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry, as well as optional third-party research tools. Public-agency access is governed by sources such as the Missouri Sunshine Law, while state repository checks are addressed in section 43.527, RSMo.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Users must not:

• Use the website in violation of federal, state, or local law
• Interfere with site operation or another visitor's access
• Use information to threaten, stalk, or harass a person
• Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
• Apply site content to hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
• Deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated tools against the pages

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information found here or through a linked tool must not be used to stalk, intimidate, harass, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may be criminal. The rule is especially important for Missouri Sex Offender Registry information, which is provided for community safety and carries an official warning against using it to facilitate a crime or target a listed person.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce credit reports, background checks, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners and this website do not provide a product designed for applicant, rental, insurance, or credit screening. Information from the website or a linked tool must not be used to:

• Set insurance premiums or assess creditworthiness
• Evaluate a person for employment
• Screen a rental or housing applicant
• Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or government benefit
• Carry out any other FCRA-regulated activity

A legally compliant screening need must be handled through the appropriate official process or a qualified FCRA-compliant provider, not through this website.

5. No Legal Advice

The website does not provide legal advice. General information about Wayne County records cannot determine how a charge, warrant, conviction, or expungement rule applies to a particular person. Seek advice from a licensed Missouri attorney.

6. No Warranties

All material is provided "as is." We make no promise that:

• A partner search result will be complete or correctly matched
• Every published fact will remain accurate, current, and complete
• The website will operate without interruption
• The pages will be free from defects, security weaknesses, or errors

Criminal records change as charges are filed, resolved, sealed, or expunged. Gaps and delays can occur. No website statement should be treated as an official response from the Wayne County Sheriff, Circuit Clerk, MSHP, or another public body.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to court portals, state offices, law-enforcement resources, legal organizations, and outside search providers. Those destinations are beyond our control. We are not responsible for their availability, charges, content, or data practices. Read the destination's terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Wayne County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to copy, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to hold us harmless against claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the website or breach of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.

11. Governing Law

Missouri law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from website use must be brought in a court located in Missouri.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be changed at any time. A revision takes effect when it is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or end access to the website at any time and 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 adjusted only as far as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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