Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference website that operates independently of government. We neither store official criminal records nor retrieve records, perform official checks, or file papers on a visitor's behalf.

Its information directs readers to Modoc County custodians, including the sheriff, Modoc Superior Court, the California Department of Justice, and the California Megan's Law Website. It may also connect readers to outside tools useful for research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, you agree not to:

• Use bots, scrapers, or other automated tools against the pages
• Violate any applicable local, California, or federal law
• Stalk, threaten, or harass a person with information found here
• Use the content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
• Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
• Interfere with website performance or another person's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information from the website or a linked tool to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may be criminal. California law strictly limits misuse of California Megan's Law Website data, and abuse directed at a listed person can carry criminal penalties. Registry information serves public-safety awareness, not vigilante conduct, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background checks, or other consumer reports. Our advertising partners and this website do not offer tools intended to screen applicants, review rental applications, set insurance rates, or assess creditworthiness. You agree not to use website or linked-tool data to:

• Assess creditworthiness or determine insurance premiums
• Make a hiring or termination decision
• Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
• Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government program
• Carry out any other action governed by the FCRA

When a lawful purpose requires such a check, use the appropriate official California channel or a screening company that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is not legal advice. General information about Modoc County criminal records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule applies to a particular matter. Seek advice from an attorney licensed in California.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are provided "as is." We make no guarantee that:

• Partner search results will be complete or correct
• Information will always be accurate, current, or complete
• The website will operate without interruption
• The pages will be free from bugs, errors, or security flaws

Criminal records change as charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Information can therefore contain unavoidable delays or gaps. Nothing published here is an official statement by a sheriff, court, or other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff websites, court portals, California agencies, legal-aid groups, and outside search services. We do not control those destinations and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, prices, or availability. Review the destination's terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Modoc County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required before copying, modifying, distributing, or making derivative works from that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the greatest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from website use, including a decision based on information obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

California law governs these terms. Any legal dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located within California.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms are effective July 16, 2026. We may revise them at any time, and a revision becomes effective when posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

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

15. Questions

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