Terms of Use

These conditions govern each visit to Seward County Criminal History, including reading its content or submitting a query through an outside search tool. Use of any part of the website signals acceptance of all terms stated below. A person who does not agree with them must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a federal, Nebraska, or Seward County government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The website is a public-record reference, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government connection. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves them, conducts official checks, or files documents for a visitor.

Its content identifies the offices that maintain Seward County records, including the sheriff, Nebraska trial courts, the Nebraska State Patrol repository, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also provide access to third-party research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Each user agrees not to:

  • Use the website in violation of federal, Nebraska, or local law
  • Stalk, harass, threaten, or intimidate another person with information found here
  • Use website content for a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
  • Deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
  • Interfere with website performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also be criminal. The rule is especially important for the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry, whose official warning forbids threats, retaliation, and vandalism against a listed person. Registry information exists for community safety awareness, not vigilantism or prohibited discriminatory action.

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. The same is true of the services offered here by advertising partners. A user may not rely on this website or a linked tool to:

  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
  • Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA

A legally authorized official check must be obtained through the Nebraska State Patrol or another service that satisfies all applicable FCRA requirements.

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, sealing rule, or Nebraska set-aside law applies to an individual matter. Consult a Nebraska-licensed attorney for advice.

6. No Warranties

All website content is supplied "as is," without a promise that:

  • Information is complete, current, or accurate at a given moment
  • Outside search results are complete or correct
  • Pages contain no bugs, errors, or security weaknesses
  • Service will remain uninterrupted

Criminal records change as charges are filed or dismissed and as courts seal records or set convictions aside. Nebraska's public dissemination rules can also change what appears in a public repository response. No website statement replaces an official response from the sheriff, court, or Nebraska State Patrol.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff pages, court portals, Nebraska agencies, legal resources, and outside search providers. Those destinations are independently operated. We do not control their content, data practices, prices, availability, or terms, which should be reviewed before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Seward County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for harm or damages arising from website use, including reliance on content obtained here or from a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A user agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or actions caused by that user's conduct or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Nebraska law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Nebraska. The Nebraska Public Records Act governs requests to public custodians and does not turn this private site into a government records office.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated 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 adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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