Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to this website. Reading its content, opening a page, or using a search tool signals agreement with all terms below. If you do not agree, discontinue use of the site.

NO FCRA USE. Roane County Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, Tennessee, or federal government body. This site and its advertising partners do not offer services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other uses regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The service points readers to Roane County and Tennessee record resources. It is neither a private investigation company nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site, independent from every government office. It does not keep official criminal files, order government checks, retrieve records, or submit documents for a user.

The content identifies custodians of Roane County records, including the sheriff, Circuit Court Clerk, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect readers with outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Use bots, scrapers, or other automated means against these pages
  • Harass, threaten, or stalk a person with information found here
  • Interfere with site speed, availability, or another visitor's access
  • Make a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision from site content
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Violate federal, Tennessee, or local law through use of the site

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool must not be used to intimidate, harass, threaten, stalk, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may be criminal. Tennessee law places particular limits on misuse of Tennessee Sex Offender Registry information. The registry supports public-safety awareness, not retaliation, vigilante acts, blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the FCRA and do not produce credit reports, background checks, or other consumer reports. Our advertising partners and this site do not provide tools designed to review rental or job applications, set insurance rates, or assess credit. You must not use site or linked-tool information to:

  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public program
  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Evaluate an applicant for housing
  • Set an insurance premium or judge creditworthiness
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated activity

A legally compliant report for such a purpose must come from the appropriate official or FCRA-compliant provider, not from this site.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is not legal advice. General information about Roane County records cannot decide how a warrant, conviction, charge, or Tennessee expungement law applies to an individual matter. Consult a Tennessee-licensed attorney for that guidance.

6. No Warranties

All material is offered "as is," without a promise that:

  • A partner search result will be complete or correct
  • Every fact is current, accurate, or complete
  • The service will operate without interruption
  • Pages contain no bug, mistake, or security weakness

Criminal files change when charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Gaps may remain despite efforts to keep the material current. No statement here is an official representation from the Roane County sheriff, a court, or another public agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff and court sites, Tennessee agency pages, legal resources, or outside search providers. We do not control a destination's content, availability, price, or data practices. Review its terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Roane County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, code, graphics, and logos. Written permission is required before copying, adapting, or distributing that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from site use, linked services, or reliance on information obtained through either.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from a claim, demand, or action arising from your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal expenses.

11. Governing Law

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

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

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

15. Questions
