NO FCRA USE. This privately run website is not connected with a local, state, or federal government body. The site and its advertising partners do not offer services for credit decisions, employment screening, tenant screening, insurance underwriting, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify criminal-record resources for Webster County and West Virginia. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government affiliation. We neither store official criminal records nor retrieve records, conduct official background checks, or submit documents for visitors.
We identify the sources that hold Webster County records, including the Webster County Sheriff, Circuit and Magistrate Courts, West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, and West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry. Government-record access is governed in part by the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W. Va. Code §29B-1-1 et seq., and by separate court, confidentiality, and record-specific rules. The site may also link to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, you agree not to:
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated systems against these pages
- Harass, threaten, or stalk a person with information obtained here
- Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access
- Make a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision from site content
- Violate a federal, West Virginia, or local law
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
You may not use this site or a linked tool to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also be criminal. West Virginia Code §15-12-5 controls public disclosure and community notification from the West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry. Registry information is for public-safety awareness, never vigilantism, blacklisting, harassment, or 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. Our advertising partners also do not provide services through this site for applicant screening, rental review, insurance rating, or credit evaluation. You must not use information from this site or a linked tool to:
- Set insurance terms or evaluate creditworthiness
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Evaluate a rental or housing application
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
Any check needed for a regulated purpose must come through the proper official West Virginia program or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
The site provides general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Webster County charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law affects a specific person. Seek advice from a licensed West Virginia attorney.
6. No Warranties
All site content and functions are provided "as is." We make no promise that:
- A partner search result will be complete or correct
- Every page is free from errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities
- The site will remain available without interruption
- Information will always be accurate, complete, and current
Criminal records can change as charges are filed or dismissed and records are corrected, sealed, or expunged. Gaps and delays can occur. No statement here is an official statement from the Webster County Sheriff, a court, or another government body.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to sheriff, court, state-agency, legal-aid, and outside search websites. Following one takes you to a service beyond our control. We are not responsible for its availability, charges, content, or data practices. Review that service's own terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Webster County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. You may not reproduce, distribute, adapt, or create derivative work from that content without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from site use, including reliance on information found here or through an external service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, demands, or legal proceedings caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.
11. Governing Law
West Virginia law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the site must be brought in a court located in West Virginia.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A revision takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may suspend, restrict, or end access to the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all other provisions remain effective. The affected provision will be modified only to the extent needed to make it enforceable.
