Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Visiting a page, reading its material, or submitting a search means that you accept them. If you disagree with any condition, discontinue use of the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provide a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource helps visitors locate official criminal-record channels in Bollinger County, Missouri. It is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm.

1. What This Website Is

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

Its role is to identify the Bollinger County sheriff, Missouri courts, MSHP CJIS Central Repository, Missouri Sex Offender Registry, and other sources that maintain records. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Use the website in violation of federal, Missouri, or local law
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass another person with information found here
  • Rely on site content for lending, insurance, housing, or employment decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
  • Operate scraping, bot, or other automated collection tools against the pages
  • Interfere with performance or prevent another visitor from using the service

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No visitor may use information from the website or a linked tool to intimidate, threaten, discriminate against, stalk, or harass a person. Such conduct may be criminal. Missouri registry information is provided for public-safety awareness, and state law forbids using it to facilitate a crime. Vigilante conduct and discriminatory misuse are prohibited.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, consumer reports, or official background checks. Our advertising partners do not offer tools intended for FCRA screening through this website. You agree not to use site or linked-tool data to:

  • Make an employment decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
  • Determine eligibility for a permit, license, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A legally compliant check for one of those purposes must come from the Missouri State Highway Patrol CJIS Division or a provider qualified for that use.

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is not legal advice. General descriptions of Bollinger County records cannot determine how a charge, warrant, conviction, or expungement rule affects a person. Consult an attorney licensed in Missouri for that advice.

6. No Warranties

All material and services are supplied "as is." We make no promise that:

  • Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
  • Access will remain continuous and uninterrupted
  • Every page will be free of bugs, mistakes, or security flaws
  • An outside search provider will return a complete or correct match

Charges, dismissals, corrections, closures, and expungements can change a record. Delays and gaps are unavoidable. No website statement replaces information certified by the court, sheriff, MSHP, or another government custodian.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may open a sheriff page, court portal, Missouri agency, legal resource, or outside search service. We do not operate those destinations and are not responsible for their content, availability, prices, or data practices. Review a destination's terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

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

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from use of the website, its content, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from a demand, claim, or action caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.

11. Governing Law

Missouri law governs these terms. The Missouri Sunshine Law controls access to government records, and RSMo section 43.506 sets criminal-history dissemination boundaries; neither makes this private website a public custodian. Any dispute related to website use must be brought in a court located in Missouri.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A revision takes effect when the new text is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected term will be modified only as far as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
