Terms of Use

These terms set the rules for using this website. By visiting any page, running a search, or reading content here, you agree to everything listed below. If you do not accept these conditions, leave the site and do not use it further.

NO FCRA USE. This privately run resource is independent of government. It and its advertising partners do not offer services for employment, credit, insurance, tenant, or other decisions controlled by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site directs readers to Florida and Indian River County record sources and is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigative firm.

1. What This Website Is

Indian River County Criminal History is a private reference site with no connection to a government office. We neither hold official criminal files nor obtain records, conduct official checks, or submit documents on a visitor's behalf.

Our material identifies custodians such as the Indian River County Sheriff's Records Unit, Circuit and County Courts, FDLE's criminal-history repository, and the Florida Sexual Offender/Predator Registry. Some pages also connect to independently operated research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Interfere with availability or another person's access
  • Deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Use site material for lending, insurance, housing, or hiring decisions
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass another person with information found here
  • Violate any applicable local, Florida, or federal law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Site information and linked results must not be used for stalking, threats, intimidation, harassment, discrimination, or vigilante conduct. Florida publishes registry information for community awareness. Section 775.21, Florida Statutes, makes specified misuse punishable, including knowingly publishing false registry information or altering it to misrepresent the official record.

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 other consumer report. Our advertising partners and this site do not provide tools intended to assess credit, insurance, rental applications, or job applicants. You may not use site or linked-tool data to:

  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
  • Determine eligibility for a public benefit, permit, or license
  • Set insurance terms or evaluate creditworthiness
  • Assess a renter or housing applicant
  • Make a hiring or termination decision

A legally regulated check must go through the proper FDLE process or a qualified provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content supplies general information, not legal advice. It cannot decide how Indian River County sealing or expunction law, a warrant, charge, or conviction applies to an individual situation. Obtain advice from a Florida-licensed attorney.

6. No Warranties

The website and its contents are offered "as is." We make no promise that:

  • A partner's search result will be complete or correct
  • Pages contain no defect, error, or security weakness
  • Access will always be continuous or uninterrupted
  • Information is complete, accurate, or current

Charges may be filed or dismissed, and records may later be sealed or expunged. Updates can therefore lag or be incomplete. No page should be treated as an official statement from a sheriff, court, or other government custodian.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to court portals, sheriff websites, Florida agencies, legal-aid organizations, and independent search services. Those destinations are outside our control. We accept no responsibility for their availability, prices, content, or data practices, and visitors should read each provider's terms.

8. Intellectual Property

The site's code, logos, graphics, and text belong to Indian River County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, adapted, distributed, or used to make derivative material without written authorization.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from site use, including reliance on information supplied here or by a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by Florida law. Subject to controlling jurisdiction and venue requirements, litigation concerning site use must be filed in a Florida court.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revision becomes effective when the updated terms are posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be modified only to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
