Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Viewing content or submitting a search constitutes agreement to them. Anyone who does not agree must discontinue use.

NO FCRA USE. This is a private resource with no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This privately operated reference site is independent of government. It does not keep official criminal records, retrieve them on demand, conduct official checks, or file documents for a visitor.

Its content identifies Duval County and Florida custodians, including JSO, the courts, FDLE, and the Florida Sexual Offenders and Predators Search. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Using information from this site, or from any tool linked here, to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against any person is prohibited and may be a crime. This applies with special force to sex offender registry information: Florida law restricts how Florida Sexual Offenders and Predators Search data may be used, and misusing registry information against a listed person can carry criminal penalties. Registry data exists for public safety awareness, not for vigilante action, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool 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

If you need a background check for any of those purposes, order an official check through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) or an FCRA-compliant screening company.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Florida attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, sealing rule, or expunction rule applies to a specific matter.

6. No Warranties

Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not 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

Criminal records change all the time - charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, and expunged. We try to keep up, but gaps are unavoidable. Nothing on this site should be treated as an official statement from a court, sheriff, or government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to government agencies, courts, legal-aid organizations, or commercial search providers. Those destinations control their own content, data practices, availability, and fees. Their terms apply after a visitor leaves this website.

8. Intellectual Property

Duval County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, distribution, modification, or derivative use requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, the operator is not liable for loss arising from use of the site, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A user agrees to indemnify and hold the operator harmless from claims, demands, actions, legal fees, and related costs arising from that user's conduct or breach of these terms.

11. Governing Law

Florida law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to site use must be brought in a court located in Florida.

12. Changes to These Terms

Revised terms become effective when the updated text is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

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