NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with any government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify public-record resources in Hamblen County and Tennessee. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site operates independently from government. It does not store official records, perform official background checks, retrieve files, or submit forms for a visitor.
It identifies Hamblen County custodians such as the sheriff, criminal courts, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry, and may provide access to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, 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
Information found here or through a linked tool must not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate. Tennessee registry information carries special limits, and misuse of Tennessee Sex Offender Registry data can bring criminal or civil consequences. Registry access supports public awareness, never vigilantism or prohibited discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produce no credit report, background check, or consumer report. The site and its advertising partners are not designed for regulated screening decisions. You must not use site or linked-tool data 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 the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation when authorized or from a provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Tennessee attorney can assess how a Hamblen County charge, warrant, conviction, or expungement rule applies to a specific matter.
6. No Warranties
All site material is offered "as is," without a promise 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
Charges, dispositions, restrictions, and expungements can change the public record. Gaps and delays are possible, and no site content is an official statement by a court, sheriff, or agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to government offices, courts, legal resources, and outside search providers. We do not control those destinations and accept no responsibility for their content, data practices, prices, or availability. Review their terms first.
8. Intellectual Property
Hamblen County Criminal History or its content partners owns 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, we are not liable for damage arising from site use or reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Tennessee law governs these terms, including the Tennessee Public Records Act at Tenn. Code Ann. § 10-7-501 et seq. and TBI dissemination authority at § 38-6-120 where relevant to the records discussed. Any dispute concerning site use must be brought in a court located in Tennessee.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised. A revision becomes effective when the new text is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may restrict or end site access at any time and without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue. The affected language will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
