Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of Montgomery County Criminal History. Continuing to use the website signals agreement with all terms below. Anyone who does not agree must stop using it.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not connected with any government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners offer services for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It is a Montgomery County, Kentucky records reference, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site, independent of every public office. It cannot store or issue official criminal records, conduct an official check, or file a document for a visitor.

Its role is to identify Montgomery County custodians and Kentucky systems, including the sheriff, circuit clerk, AOCFastCheck, Kentucky State Police, and the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect readers with independently operated search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is conditioned on the following limits. You must not:

  • Use the website in violation of federal, Kentucky, or local law
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
  • Use content for an employment, housing, credit, or insurance decision
  • Attempt to enter systems or data without authorization
  • Deploy a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool
  • Interfere with performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from these pages or a linked tool may not be used to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also be criminal. Kentucky's registry laws in KRS 17.510 through 17.580 restrict misuse of Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry data. Public access supports safety awareness, not vigilantism or blacklisting.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Montgomery County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It creates no credit report, background check, or consumer report. Its advertising partners likewise are not presented as services for applicant, renter, insurance, or credit screening. You may not use site or linked-tool data to:

  • Make a credit or lending decision
  • Screen an applicant for employment
  • Evaluate a tenant or housing applicant
  • Set insurance eligibility or rates
  • Make any other decision governed by the FCRA

A legally permissible check for a regulated purpose must come from an appropriate official channel or an FCRA-compliant screening provider.

5. No Legal Advice

General information about Montgomery County records is not legal advice. Only a licensed Kentucky attorney can advise how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement law applies to particular facts.

6. No Warranties

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

  • Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
  • Access will remain continuous and uninterrupted
  • Pages will contain no errors, bugs, or security flaws
  • A partner's search results will be correct or complete

Charges, dispositions, sealing, and expungement can change a record after publication. Gaps and delays are possible. Content here is never an official statement from the Montgomery Circuit Court Clerk, sheriff, KSP, AOC, or another agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

A link may lead to a county office, Kentucky court portal, state agency, legal resource, or outside search service. Those destinations are not under our control. We are not responsible for their data practices, content, fees, accuracy, or availability. Review each destination's terms.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Montgomery County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distribution, modification, or derivative use requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the greatest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of the site, including reliance on its information or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal actions resulting from your use or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Kentucky law governs these terms. A dispute tied to use of the site must be brought in a court located in Kentucky.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated at any time. A revision takes effect when it is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If one part is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining terms continue in effect. The affected part will be changed only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
