Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to Taylor County Criminal History. Reading a page or using a search feature signals acceptance of every term below. Do not continue to use the service if you disagree.

NO FCRA USE. Taylor County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or another Fair Credit Reporting Act purpose. This resource helps readers locate criminal-record channels in Taylor County, West Virginia. 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 connection to a government office. It does not host official files, perform official checks, retrieve records, or submit paperwork on a visitor's behalf.

Its role is to identify Taylor County custodians such as the Sheriff, Magistrate and Circuit Court clerks, WVSP Criminal Identification Bureau, WVDCR, and the West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also contain outside search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of use, you must not:

  • Use bots, scrapers, or other automated access tools
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Harass, threaten, or stalk anyone with information found here
  • Use site content for an FCRA-regulated decision
  • Interfere with performance or another person's access
  • Violate federal, West Virginia, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked service may not be used to stalk, intimidate, threaten, harass, or discriminate. West Virginia law places specific restrictions on misuse of West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry information, and violations can bring criminal consequences. Registry access supports public-safety awareness, never vigilante conduct or discriminatory action.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer, credit, or official background reports. Our advertising partners do not offer their tools here for applicant, housing, insurance, or credit screening. Site or linked-tool data must not be used 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 regulated check must come through an authorized official process or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA. WVSP CIB controls West Virginia criminal-history dissemination under W. Va. Code §15-2-24.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is not legal advice. General information about Taylor County charges, warrants, convictions, or expungement cannot determine how the law applies to one case. Consult a licensed West Virginia attorney for legal guidance.

6. No Warranties

All content and features are supplied "as is." There is no 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

Charges, dispositions, sealing orders, and expungements change official records. Published material can therefore contain gaps or age. Only the Taylor County or West Virginia custodian can make an official statement about its record.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to county offices, court systems, state agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. We do not control the destination's accuracy, availability, fees, or data practices and accept no responsibility for them. Review its terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, code, and logos belong to Taylor County Criminal History or its content partners. Written permission is required before copying, modifying, distributing, or creating derivative material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from site use, linked services, or reliance on information obtained through either.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless against claims, demands, and proceedings caused by your use or breach of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.

11. Governing Law

West Virginia law governs these terms. A dispute concerning use of Taylor County Criminal History must be brought in a court located in West Virginia.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these conditions at any time. A new version becomes effective when posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or ended 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 language will be adjusted only as far as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be submitted through the Contact page.
