NO FCRA USE. This privately owned website has no connection to a local, state, or federal government body. It and its advertising partners do not offer tools for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act purposes. The site helps readers locate Butler County, Alabama criminal-record resources. It is neither a private investigation business nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is an independent, private reference site. It does not keep official records, retrieve government files, conduct official checks, or submit documents for a visitor.
Its function is to identify Butler County custodians, including the sheriff, criminal courts, Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, and Alabama Sex Offender Registry, and to provide access to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, you agree not to:
- Use automated bots or scrapers against the pages
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system
- Stalk, threaten, or harass a person with information found here
- Use site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
- Interfere with performance or another visitor's access
- Violate a federal, Alabama, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Site or linked-tool information must not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. Alabama Code §15-20A-45 imposes special limits on misuse of Alabama Sex Offender Registry data and can attach criminal or civil consequences to harm directed at a registrant or reported address. Registry information exists for 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 and do not create credit reports, consumer reports, or background-check products. Our advertising partners' site placements are not offered for applicant, rental, insurance, or credit decisions. You may not use site or linked-tool data 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 lawful check for a regulated purpose must come from an appropriate official channel or an FCRA-compliant consumer reporting agency, not this site.
5. No Legal Advice
Site material is not legal advice. General explanations of Butler County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Alabama expungement law applies to one person. Seek advice from a licensed Alabama attorney.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied "as is." We make no promise 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
Charges, dismissals, corrections, and expungements can change record status. Gaps may occur despite update efforts. No site content is an official statement of the Butler County sheriff, a court, ALEA, or another government body.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to courts, the sheriff, Alabama agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. We do not control those destinations or accept responsibility for their availability, fees, privacy practices, or content. Review their terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Butler County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required before copying, modifying, distributing, or creating derivative material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss or damages arising from site use, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from a claim, action, or demand caused by your site use or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Alabama law governs these terms. Any dispute related to site use must be brought in a court located in Alabama.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may restrict or end access at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force. The affected term will be adjusted only as needed to make it enforceable.
