Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of Thurston County Criminal History. Accessing any part of the website means that you accept them. If you do not agree, stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a local, tribal, state, or federal government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Thurston County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm.

1. What This Website Is

Thurston County Criminal History is a private reference resource. It explains routes to criminal records kept by Thurston County offices, Nebraska agencies, courts, corrections, the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry, and other sovereign custodians. It does not create, own, certify, or sell government records.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use of the website must remain lawful. You agree not to:

  • Violate a federal, Nebraska, tribal, or local law
  • Harass, stalk, threaten, or intimidate another person
  • Use content for a credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decision
  • Attempt unauthorized access to a system or account
  • Run bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
  • Interfere with site speed, availability, security, or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information found here or through a linked tool may not be used to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. This restriction is especially important for Nebraska Sex Offender Registry data. The registry exists for community safety, not retaliation or vigilante conduct, and Neb. Rev. Stat. ยง29-4011 provides penalties for violations of Nebraska's Registry Act.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Thurston County Criminal History does not produce background checks, consumer reports, or credit files and is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. You may not use information from this site or a linked tool to:

  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing application
  • Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government program
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

Where law requires an official check, use the proper Nebraska State Patrol or other legally authorized channel and follow every applicable consent and use rule.

5. No Legal Advice

Content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a charge, warrant, judgment, set-aside rule, or jurisdictional issue applies to a specific person. Consult a licensed Nebraska attorney for advice.

6. No Warranties

The website and its content are supplied "as is." We do not warrant that:

  • Any item is complete, accurate, or current
  • The website will always be available or uninterrupted
  • Pages will be free from defects or security risks
  • An outside search provider will return complete or correctly matched results

Charges, dispositions, custody, addresses, fees, access rules, and record restrictions can change. Treat no content here as an official statement from a Thurston County, Nebraska, tribal, or federal office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to court portals, sheriff and agency pages, legal resources, and outside search services. Those destinations control their own content, availability, prices, terms, privacy, and results. Thurston County Criminal History is not responsible for an outside service. Review its rules before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the site's text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Thurston County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, modified, redistributed, or used to make a derivative product without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest degree Nebraska law permits, Thurston County Criminal History is not liable for a loss or damage arising from use of the website, reliance on its content, or use of any linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Nebraska law governs these terms, including applicable principles of the Nebraska Consumer Protection Act and other state law. A dispute tied to use of this website must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Nebraska.

12. Changes to These Terms

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

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend, restrict, or end access at any time, with or without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions remain effective. The affected language will be limited only as much as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
