NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no connection to a local, state, or federal government agency. The site and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify criminal-record resources in Monongalia County and West Virginia. It is neither a private investigation service nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site that operates independently of government. It does not store official records, obtain them on a visitor's behalf, perform an official background check, or file documents.
Its material identifies custodians of Monongalia County criminal records, such as the Sheriff's Office, criminal courts, West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, and West Virginia Sex Offender Registry. It may also connect visitors to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the site is conditioned on the following limits:
- Do not violate federal, West Virginia, or local law
- Do not stalk, threaten, or harass a person with information found here
- Do not use site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
- Do not seek unauthorized access to any system or account
- Do not deploy bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools against the pages
- Do not disrupt service or interfere with another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from the site or a linked tool must not be used to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate against anyone. West Virginia Sex Offender Registry data carries an express warning against threats, intimidation, and harassment. It is published for lawful safety awareness, not vigilante conduct 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 background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. The website and advertising partners do not offer a service designed for regulated applicant, rental, insurance, or credit decisions. Data from the site or a linked tool may not be used to:
- Make an employment decision
- Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
- Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
- Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or government program
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
A lawful official check should be obtained through the West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau and IdentoGO or another provider that is authorized and compliant for the specific purpose.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is not legal advice. General information about Monongalia County records cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement law applies to one person's facts. Seek advice from a licensed West Virginia attorney.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied "as is." No promise is made that:
- Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
- Pages will remain available without interruption
- The service will contain no defect, error, or security weakness
- An outside search provider will return complete or correct results
Records can change through new filings, dismissals, sealing, or expungement. Updates may lag, and nothing published here is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to sheriff, court, state agency, legal-aid, or outside search services that we do not control. We are not responsible for a destination's content, fees, availability, or data practices. Review its own terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Monongalia County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, modification, distribution, or derivative use requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from site use, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or actions caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
West Virginia law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in West Virginia.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised, and an updated version takes effect when it is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.
