Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Visiting a page, reading its material, or using a search feature constitutes agreement to them. Anyone who does not agree must discontinue use.

NO FCRA USE. This privately owned website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provide services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to route readers to criminal-record resources in Montrose County and Colorado. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This privately operated reference is independent of every government office. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, conducts official checks, or submits documents for a visitor.

Its material identifies Montrose County custodians such as the sheriff and courts, along with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and Colorado Sex Offender Registry. Links to outside search services may also appear.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is permitted only if you agree not to:

  • 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

Neither the site's content nor linked results may be used for stalking, harassment, intimidation, threats, or unlawful discrimination. CRS §18-9-310.5 imposes criminal penalties for prohibited misuse of Colorado Sex Offender Registry information. Public safety awareness does not authorize vigilantism.

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

Any check for a regulated purpose must come from an authorized, FCRA-compliant provider or the proper official Colorado channel.

5. No Legal Advice

All material is informational rather than legal advice. Only a qualified Colorado attorney can assess how a warrant, charge, judgment, sealing provision, or juvenile expungement rule affects a particular person.

6. No Warranties

All services and content are supplied "as is," without a 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 as charges are filed or dismissed and records are sealed or expunged. Updates may lag. No content here is an official representation by a sheriff, court, or other public body.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

External links include sheriff and court pages, state agencies, legal-aid organizations, and independent search providers. We do not control a destination's content, availability, privacy practices, or prices and accept no responsibility for them. Read the destination's terms before proceeding.

8. Intellectual Property

Montrose County Criminal History or its content partners own the applicable text, graphics, logos, and code. Prior written authorization is required to reproduce, distribute, adapt, or create derivative material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim liability for harm arising from use of the website or reliance on information obtained here or through an external service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by Colorado law, and any dispute concerning website use must be brought in a Colorado court. Government record access remains subject to the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act, CRS §§24-72-301 through 24-72-309, and the Colorado Open Records Act, CRS §§24-72-201 through 24-72-206, as applicable.

12. Changes to These Terms

Revisions may be posted at any time and become effective when the updated terms appear on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, with or without advance notice or stated cause.

14. Severability

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

15. Questions
