Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference website, independent of every government office. It does not hold official criminal files, submit court papers, retrieve certified records, or perform an official background check for a visitor.

Its pages identify custodians such as Otoe County Sheriff Support Services, the County and District Courts, the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside search tools that may assist personal research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is allowed only on the following conditions. You must not:

• Use the website in violation of federal, Nebraska, or local law
• Harass, stalk, threaten, or intimidate a person with information found here
• Rely on its content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
• Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
• Send bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools through the pages
• Disrupt performance or interfere with another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information reached through this website or an outside tool may not be used to stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone. That rule is especially important for Nebraska Sex Offender Registry data. The registry supports community and family safety awareness, not vigilantism or unlawful discrimination. Threats, vandalism, or retaliation against a listed person, family member, or associated party may lead to prosecution.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Otoe County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It does not create credit reports, consumer reports, or official background checks. Its advertising partners are not presented as services for evaluating applicants, renters, insurance risk, or credit. Data from this website or a linked tool must not be used 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

A check for a regulated purpose must come from the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division when its official process applies, or from a screening company that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, set-aside, sealing rule, or other issue applies to one person's facts. A licensed Nebraska attorney should answer those questions.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are supplied "as is." There is no 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 can change when charges are filed, amended, dismissed, set aside, sealed, or removed from public dissemination. Updates may lag. Nothing published here is an official statement by an Otoe County court, the sheriff, or a Nebraska agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff pages, Nebraska courts, public agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Those destinations are not controlled here. Their accuracy, availability, fees, privacy practices, and content are their own responsibility. Review each destination's terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Otoe County Criminal History or the relevant content partner. Copying, adapting, distributing, or building upon that material requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the broadest extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for damage arising from use of the website, its information, or any linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to protect and hold the operator harmless from claims, demands, or legal actions caused by your use of the website or violation 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.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised. A replacement takes effect when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one term invalid or unenforceable, the other terms remain effective. The affected part is adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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