Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to this website. Visiting a page, reading its content, or using a search feature signifies agreement; anyone who does not accept the terms must discontinue use.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) decisions. Its purpose is to direct readers to Wasco County, Oregon record resources; it is neither a private-investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site. We operate on our own with no ties to any government office. We do not store official criminal records and we cannot pull records, run official background checks, or file documents for anyone.

The site identifies offices holding Wasco County information—including the sheriff, Circuit Court, Oregon State Police CJIS, and Oregon Sex Offender Online Search—and also links to outside tools that may assist personal research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • 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

No information found here or through a linked tool may be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate. Oregon law restricts misuse of Oregon Sex Offender Online Search information, and improper action against a registrant may carry criminal consequences. Registry publication serves public-safety awareness, never vigilantism or prohibited discrimination.

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

A check needed for an FCRA-regulated purpose must be obtained through Oregon State Police CJIS where appropriate or from an FCRA-compliant screening company.

5. No Legal Advice

The general explanation of Wasco County criminal records is not legal advice and cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Oregon set-aside rule applies to one person. Consult a licensed Oregon attorney for that analysis.

6. No Warranties

All site material is 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 all the time - charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, and expunged. We try to keep up, but gaps are unavoidable. Nothing on this site should be treated as an official statement from a court, sheriff, or government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

A link to a sheriff, court portal, Oregon agency, legal-aid organization, or outside search service leaves this site. The destination controls its content, availability, prices, and data practices, so review its terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Wasco County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distributing, modifying, or building on that material requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the site is not liable for damages arising from its use or from reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Oregon law, including applicable provisions of the Oregon Unlawful Trade Practices Act, ORS 646.605–646.656, governs these terms. The Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.311–192.478, and criminal-history dissemination provisions in ORS 181A.230 and ORS 181A.245 govern official agencies and records rather than turning this private site into a public office. A dispute connected to site use must be brought in a court located in Oregon.

12. Changes to These Terms

Revised terms may be posted at any time and become effective upon publication on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect; the affected provision is modified only as needed to make it enforceable.
