Terms of Use

These conditions govern all use of Kearney County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its content, or submitting a search means you agree to them. If you do not agree, stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. Kearney County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. This resource and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The purpose is to route readers to criminal-record resources in Kearney County and Nebraska. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site that operates independently from government. It does not store official records, retrieve files, perform official checks, or submit documents for a visitor.

Its content identifies the Kearney County Sheriff, Nebraska trial courts, the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry as official sources. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, you agree not to:

  • Use the content for any unlawful federal, Nebraska, or local purpose
  • Stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass another person
  • Use site information in hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Operate bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
  • Interfere with performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool must not be used to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. Such conduct may be criminal. Nebraska Sex Offender Registry information is provided for public safety awareness. Nebraska law and the registry forbid retaliation against a registrant, family member, or employer, including threats or vandalism. Vigilante action and discriminatory use are prohibited.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produce no consumer, credit, or background report. The website and its advertising partners are not designed for regulated screening. Information from a page or linked tool may not be used to:

  • Evaluate credit or set an insurance rate
  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Review a rental or housing application
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Serve any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

A regulated purpose requires an authorized official process or a properly compliant consumer reporting provider. This website cannot supply that report.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is not legal advice. General information about Kearney County records cannot determine how a charge, warrant, conviction, sealing rule, or set-aside applies to a specific person. Consult a Nebraska-licensed lawyer for legal advice.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are provided "as is." No warranty is made that:

  • Partner results will be complete, current, or correctly matched
  • Information will always be accurate, complete, and current
  • The website will remain continuously available
  • The pages contain no error, defect, or security weakness

Criminal files change as charges are filed or dismissed and as records are sealed or corrected. Gaps and delays are possible. Nothing here is an official statement from the Kearney County Sheriff, a Nebraska court, or any government body.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to county offices, court portals, Nebraska agencies, legal-help organizations, and outside search services. Those destinations are independently controlled. We are not responsible for their availability, content, prices, privacy practices, or results. Review their terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

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

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Nebraska law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with use of the website must be brought in a court located in Nebraska.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision takes effect when the new text is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend, limit, or end access at any time and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. The affected language will be limited only as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
