Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of content on Giles County Criminal History. Continuing to use the website constitutes acceptance. A visitor who does not agree should stop using it.

NO FCRA USE. Giles County Criminal History is private and has no affiliation with a local, Tennessee, or federal government body. Neither this website nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions, or for another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). It is a reference for official criminal-record resources in Giles County, Tennessee, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently of government. It does not store official records, submit papers, retrieve a case file, or conduct an official criminal-history check.

Its function is to identify the Giles County Sheriff and Jail, the local courts, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation repository, the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry, and optional third-party research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is permitted only if the visitor agrees not to:

  • Interfere with site speed, availability, or another visitor's access
  • Deploy a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Use site content in hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person using information found here
  • Violate federal, Tennessee, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No visitor may use information from this website or a linked tool to stalk, intimidate, threaten, harass, or discriminate against anyone. Tennessee's Sex Offender and Violent Sex Offender Registration Act, T.C.A. §§40-39-201 through 40-39-218, restricts misuse of Tennessee Sex Offender Registry data and may impose criminal or civil consequences. Registry access supports public-safety awareness. It never authorizes vigilantism, an employment blacklist, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produces no credit report, consumer report, or official background check. Its advertising partners likewise do not offer tools intended to assess an applicant, renter, insurance risk, or credit risk. Information from the site or a linked tool must not be used to:

  • Make any other decision regulated by the FCRA
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
  • Evaluate a rental or housing application
  • Make an employment decision

A regulated background check must come from an authorized, FCRA-compliant provider or the proper official process through the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

5. No Legal Advice

The material is general information, not legal advice. A licensed Tennessee attorney must assess how a Giles County charge, conviction, warrant, or expunction law applies to a particular set of facts.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are supplied "as is," without a promise that:

  • An outside search result will be complete or correctly matched
  • Every page is free from bugs, mistakes, or security flaws
  • The service will remain available without interruption
  • Information is always complete, accurate, and current

A record can change after charges are filed, dismissed, restricted, or expunged. Gaps and delay remain possible, and no page is an official statement by the Giles County clerk, sheriff, TBI, or another agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to government offices, courts, state agencies, legal resources, and independent search providers. Those destinations control their own content, privacy practices, prices, and availability. Review their terms because we are not responsible for an outside service.

8. Intellectual Property

Giles 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 work from that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for harm arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A visitor agrees to defend and hold us harmless against a claim, demand, or proceeding caused by that visitor's use or breach of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.

11. Governing Law

Tennessee law governs these terms, and a dispute related to website use must be brought in a court located in Tennessee. Official public-record access remains governed by the Tennessee Public Records Act, principally T.C.A. §§10-7-503 through 10-7-506, and TBI criminal-history access by T.C.A. §38-6-120.

12. Changes to These Terms

Revised terms may be posted at any time and become effective when published on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue. The affected language will be adjusted only to the extent needed for enforcement.

15. Questions

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