NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with Hardeman County, Tennessee, or any federal agency. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provide a service for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions, or for another purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site is not a private investigation business or a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, independent of every government office. It does not keep official records, retrieve files, conduct official checks, or submit papers for a visitor.
Its pages identify official sources such as the Hardeman County Sheriff's Office, county court clerks, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. Tennessee government custodians apply the Tennessee Public Records Act, Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 10-7-501 through 10-7-515, and any record-specific access limits.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, a visitor agrees not to:
- Use the site in violation of federal, Tennessee, or local law
- Threaten, harass, or stalk another person with information found here
- Use site content for a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
- Operate scrapers, bots, or other automated collection tools against the pages
- Interfere with site access, security, or performance
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use information from this site or a linked tool to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate against another person. The restriction is especially important for Tennessee Sex Offender Registry data. Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-39-214 governs registry disclosure, and misuse can lead to criminal or civil consequences. The registry supports lawful public-safety awareness, never retaliation or vigilantism.
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 official background checks. The same is true of the services offered through our advertising relationships. Data from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Set insurance eligibility or rates
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Evaluate a rental or housing application
- Assess creditworthiness
- Make any other decision regulated by the FCRA
A legally required official check must be obtained through the authorized Tennessee Bureau of Investigation channel or a qualified FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
The site provides general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Tennessee attorney can advise how an arrest, charge, warrant, conviction, or expungement law applies to a particular situation.
6. No Warranties
All material is supplied "as is." We make no promise that:
- Outside search results are accurate or complete
- Every page is current, correct, and complete
- The website will remain available without interruption
- The site contains no defects, errors, or security weaknesses
Charges, dispositions, custody status, seals, and expungements can change after publication. Gaps are possible. No page should be treated as an official statement from the sheriff, a court, TBI, or another government custodian.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to sheriff, court, Tennessee agency, legal-aid, and outside search websites. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, fees, privacy practices, accuracy, or availability. Their own terms apply after a visitor leaves this site.
8. Intellectual Property
Hardeman County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. They may not be copied, adapted, distributed, or used to create another work without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the broadest extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from use of this website, its information, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, and actions caused by that visitor's use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Tennessee law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Tennessee.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these conditions. A revision takes effect when the updated terms are posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is ruled invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions stay effective. The affected term will be narrowed only as much as needed for enforcement.
