Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of Pleasants County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its content, or submitting a search means that you accept every term below. Do not continue using the website if you disagree.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners supplies a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It is a Pleasants County, West Virginia records reference, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no connection to a government office. It neither stores official records nor retrieves criminal files, performs official checks, or submits forms for a user.

Its function is to identify Pleasants County record custodians, including the courts, arresting agencies, West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, WVDCR, and West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry, and to provide access to outside search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Use the website in violation of federal, state, or local law
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
  • Rely on site content for employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Seek unauthorized entry to any system or account
  • Deploy a scraper, bot, or other automated collection tool
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use this site or a linked tool to stalk, intimidate, harass, threaten, or discriminate against another person. Misuse may also be a crime. West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry data is provided for lawful public-safety awareness under W. Va. Code §15-12-5. Threats and harassment directed at a registrant are prohibited, and the information cannot support vigilantism or discriminatory action.

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 do not offer their tools here for FCRA-regulated screening. You must not use site or linked-tool data to:

  • Decide whether to hire or fire someone
  • Screen potential renters or housing applicants
  • Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
  • Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
  • Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules

A lawful check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come through an authorized official process or an FCRA-compliant consumer reporting company.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. A licensed West Virginia attorney should address how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement statute applies to a particular Pleasants County matter.

6. No Warranties

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

  • The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
  • The site will stay up and running without interruptions
  • Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
  • Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Charges, dispositions, custody, sealing, and expungement can change a criminal record. Updates may lag, and gaps can occur. Nothing here is an official statement from a Pleasants County court, the sheriff, WVSP, or another public agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may open a government page, legal resource, court portal, or outside search service beyond our control. We are not responsible for that service's availability, accuracy, fees, content, or data practices. Review its own terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, code, logos, and graphics belong to Pleasants County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or adapted without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum 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 claims, demands, and actions caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.

11. Governing Law

West Virginia law governs these terms. A dispute tied to use of the site must be brought in a court located in West Virginia.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A revision takes effect when the new version is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or end access at any time and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining terms continue in effect. The affected language will be adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these terms may be sent through the Contact page.
