Terms of Use

These terms govern access to and use of Spartanburg County Criminal History. Reading content, using a search box, or otherwise continuing on the site constitutes acceptance of every condition below. Anyone who does not agree must stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated site has no connection to a government agency and is not a consumer reporting agency. Neither its content nor a linked tool may be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

1. What This Website Is

This is an independent reference site. It does not store official records, retrieve private files, conduct an official background check, or submit documents for a user.

Its role is to identify custodians and access routes for Spartanburg County records, including the Sheriff’s Office, criminal courts, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and South Carolina Sex Offender Registry, along with outside search services.

2. Rules for Using This Site

A user agrees not to:

  • Violate federal, South Carolina, or local law
  • Harass, stalk, threaten, or intimidate any person
  • Use content for a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
  • Seek unauthorized access to any system or account
  • Run a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool
  • Interfere with access, performance, or security

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information found here or through a linked service must not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. That rule is especially important for registry information. S.C. Code §23-3-450 provides penalties when a criminal offense is committed using registry data. Public safety information never authorizes vigilant action.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We do not produce credit reports, consumer reports, or official background checks and are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. A user may not rely on this site or a linked tool to:

  • Make a hiring or firing decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing application
  • Set credit terms or insurance rates
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A legally required official check must be ordered through SLED or another properly authorized, FCRA-compliant channel.

5. No Legal Advice

Content is general information, not legal advice. Questions about a Spartanburg County charge, warrant, conviction, registration duty, or expungement should be directed to a licensed South Carolina attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are provided "as is." We do not warrant that:

  • Any fact or result is complete, current, or accurate
  • The site will always be available or uninterrupted
  • The pages will be free from errors or security flaws
  • An outside search provider will return a complete or correct match

Records can be filed, amended, restricted, or expunged. Nothing here is an official statement from Spartanburg County, a court, SLED, or any other agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to public agencies and outside services that we do not operate. We are not responsible for their accuracy, availability, pricing, security, terms, or data practices. Review the destination’s rules before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code on this site belong to Spartanburg County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or adapted without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent South Carolina law allows, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from site use, unavailable content, or reliance on information reached through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A user agrees to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, actions, expenses, and legal fees caused by that user’s conduct or breach of these terms.

11. Governing Law

South Carolina law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with use of the site must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in South Carolina.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A change takes effect when the updated text is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or end access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions remain effective. The affected term will be narrowed only as much as needed for enforcement.

15. Questions

Questions about these terms may be directed through the Contact page.
