Terms of Use

These terms set the rules for using this website. By visiting any page, running a search, or reading content here, you agree to everything listed below. If you do not accept these conditions, leave the site and do not use it further.

NO FCRA USE. This privately owned website has no affiliation with a government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to route readers to New Madrid County and Missouri criminal-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site operated independently of government. It stores no official criminal records and cannot retrieve records, perform an official check, or submit documents for another person.

The content points to the New Madrid County Sheriff, Missouri courts, the Missouri State Highway Patrol Central Repository, the Missouri Sex Offender Registry, and third-party research tools. It does not replace any of those official sources.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Use the content for an FCRA-regulated decision
  • Stalk, threaten, or harass anyone with information found here
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system
  • Use bots, scrapers, or similar automated tools on the pages
  • Disrupt site operation or another visitor’s access
  • Violate federal, Missouri, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from this site or a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Misuse may also violate law. Missouri Sex Offender Registry information is published for community awareness, not vigilantism or discriminatory action, and Missouri warns that using it to facilitate a crime is illegal.

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 background checks. Our advertising partners’ tools are not offered here for regulated screening. Information from the site or a linked tool may not be used to:

  • Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
  • Evaluate a person for employment
  • Screen an applicant for a rental or other housing
  • Determine eligibility for a permit, license, or government benefit
  • Make another decision regulated by the FCRA

Any legally permissible FCRA-regulated check must come from an authorized official process or an FCRA-compliant consumer reporting agency, not this site.

5. No Legal Advice

Nothing here is legal advice. General explanations of New Madrid County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Missouri expungement law applies to a person. Consult a licensed Missouri attorney for that analysis.

6. No Warranties

All content is provided “as is.” No guarantee is made that:

  • A partner search result will be complete or correct
  • The pages contain no errors, defects, or security weakness
  • The site will remain continuously available
  • Any information is complete, accurate, or current

Criminal records change as charges are filed, dismissed, closed, or expunged. Gaps and delays are unavoidable. Nothing here is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to sheriff offices, court portals, Missouri agencies, legal-aid organizations, and outside search services. We do not control those services and accept no responsibility for their content, data handling, pricing, or availability. Review the destination’s terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

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

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage arising from use of the site or reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal actions caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

Missouri law governs these terms, including applicable provisions of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, RSMo 407.020. The Missouri Sunshine Law, Chapter 610 governs access to qualifying government records, while RSMo 43.506 addresses criminal-history dissemination. Any dispute tied to use of the site must be filed in a Missouri court.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised. A revision becomes effective when the updated text is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or terminated at any time, with or without prior notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force. The affected language is adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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