Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit to Sebastian County Criminal History, including reading its reference material and using a search tool. Accessing the website means that you accept all terms below. If you disagree with them, discontinue use.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no connection to a local, state, or federal government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to direct readers to criminal-record resources in Sebastian County, Arkansas. It is not a private investigation business 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 criminal records, obtain records on a visitor's behalf, perform official checks, or submit legal documents.

The material identifies custodians of Sebastian County criminal records, including the sheriff, criminal courts, Arkansas State Police Identification Bureau, and Arkansas Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect visitors with outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, you agree not to:

  • Violate any applicable local, state, or federal law
  • Stalk, threaten, or harass a person using information found here
  • Use content for housing, employment, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any account, server, or system
  • Deploy scrapers, bots, or other automated collection tools
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use this website or a linked tool to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. That prohibition is especially important for the Arkansas Sex Offender Registry. Arkansas publishes registry information for community safety, not vigilantism, retaliation, blacklisting, or housing discrimination. Misuse may violate the law.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produces no consumer, credit, or background-check report. Its advertising partners likewise do not offer services here for applicant screening, rental review, insurance pricing, or credit judgments. You must not use site or linked-tool data to:

  • Make an employment decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Assess credit or determine an insurance premium
  • Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A check required for a regulated purpose must come from the Arkansas State Police Identification Bureau through the proper authorized process or from a compliant consumer reporting agency.

5. No Legal Advice

The material is not legal advice. General explanations about Sebastian County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Arkansas sealing law applies to a specific situation. Consult an Arkansas-licensed attorney for legal advice.

6. No Warranties

All content is provided "as is," without a guarantee that:

  • Information is always complete, accurate, or current
  • Access will remain available without interruption
  • Every page is free from defects or security weaknesses
  • An outside search result is accurate or comprehensive

Criminal records change when charges are filed, dismissed, corrected, or sealed. Updates can create unavoidable gaps. No page is an official statement by a court, the Sebastian County Sheriff, the Arkansas State Police Identification Bureau, or another public agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may open sheriff, court, Arkansas agency, legal-resource, or outside search websites that operate independently. We do not control their content, availability, fees, or data practices. Review each destination's own terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, logos, graphics, and code belong to Sebastian County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage arising from website use, including reliance on content or information supplied by a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Arkansas law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with website use must be brought in a court located in Arkansas.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision takes effect when the updated text is published on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, every other provision remains effective. The affected language will be limited only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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