Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of Ste. Genevieve County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its content, or submitting a query through a search feature signifies agreement to the terms below. Anyone who does not accept them should stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a local, Missouri, or federal agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify official record resources in Ste. Genevieve County and Missouri. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not keep official criminal records, obtain records for visitors, perform official checks, or submit filings.

Its pages identify the actual custodians of Ste. Genevieve County records, including the Sheriff's Office, Circuit Clerk, Missouri State Highway Patrol Central Repository, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect visitors to independently operated search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use of the site is conditioned on these restrictions. A visitor must not:

  • Use automated scrapers, bots, or similar collection tools on these pages
  • Interfere with site performance or another person's access
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any account, server, or system
  • Use the content for a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
  • Violate federal, Missouri, or local law while using the service

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use information from this site or a linked tool to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate against another person. Such conduct may also violate criminal law. The Missouri Sex Offender Registry expressly warns against using its information to facilitate a crime, and registry data must not fuel threats or vigilantism. The registry exists for public safety and community awareness, not private punishment or discriminatory decisions.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Ste. Genevieve County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It creates no credit report, consumer report, or official background check. Its advertising partners likewise are not presented as services for job, rental, insurance, or credit decisions. Information from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:

  • Make any other determination regulated by the FCRA
  • Set insurance eligibility, rates, or premiums
  • Determine access to a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Evaluate a housing or rental application
  • Make an employment decision

When law permits or requires a check for a regulated purpose, use the official Missouri State Highway Patrol channel or a screening provider 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, or Missouri expungement statute applies to a particular matter. Consult a licensed Missouri attorney for advice.

6. No Warranties

All content and features are provided "as is." No promise is made that:

  • An outside search result will be accurate or complete
  • Pages contain no defect, error, or security weakness
  • The site will remain available without interruption
  • Every item is current, complete, or correct

Criminal records change as charges are filed, resolved, closed, corrected, or expunged. Delays and omissions can occur. No page should be treated as an official statement by a court, sheriff, or Missouri agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to sheriff pages, Missouri court portals, state agencies, legal resources, and independent search services. Those destinations are outside our control. We are not responsible for their content, availability, prices, or data practices. Review the destination's terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

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

9. Limits on Our Liability

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

10. Indemnification

You agree to hold the site harmless from claims, demands, or legal proceedings caused by your use of it or your breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Missouri law governs these terms. Any dispute related to use of the site must be brought in a court located in Missouri.

12. Changes to These Terms

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

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If a court finds one term invalid or unenforceable, all remaining terms continue in force. The affected provision will be adjusted only as far as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
