Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of the website. Accessing a page, submitting a search, or reading the material means that you accept them. If you disagree with any condition, discontinue use of the website.

NO FCRA USE. This is a privately operated website with no government affiliation. The website and its advertising partners do not offer services for credit decisions, employment screening, tenant evaluation, insurance underwriting, or any other purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The material concerns access to Tillamook County and Oregon records. The website is not a private investigation service or a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This website is a privately operated reference resource independent of every government office. We neither hold official criminal records nor retrieve records, conduct official background checks, or submit filings on a visitor's behalf.

The material identifies Tillamook County record custodians, such as the Tillamook County Sheriff, Oregon Judicial Department courts, the Oregon State Police Criminal Justice Information Services Division, and the Oregon Sex Offender Registry. Certain pages also provide access to search tools run by outside companies.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you agree not to:

  • Violate federal, Oregon, or local law through use of the website
  • Use any information to threaten, stalk, or harass another person
  • Rely on the content for employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Deploy a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
  • Interfere with performance or prevent another visitor from gaining access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information from the website or a linked service to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. Oregon restricts misuse of Oregon Sex Offender Registry information, and unlawful abuse of registry data may have criminal consequences. Registry access is intended for public-safety awareness, not vigilantism or discriminatory conduct.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency as the FCRA defines that term. No background check, credit report, or other consumer report is created here. The website and its advertising partners do not provide tools designed to screen job applicants, evaluate rental applications, price insurance, or assess creditworthiness. You must not use information from the website or a linked tool to:

  • Make an employment or termination decision
  • Evaluate a renter or other housing applicant
  • Assess credit or establish an insurance premium
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA

When a regulated purpose is lawful, use the applicable official Oregon State Police CJIS process or a consumer reporting agency that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Tillamook County charge, conviction, warrant, or Oregon set-aside law applies to a particular person. Obtain advice from an Oregon-licensed attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are supplied "as is." We make no promise that:

  • Information will always be accurate, complete, or current
  • Access will remain continuous or uninterrupted
  • The pages will contain no errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities
  • An outside search provider's results will be complete or correct

Criminal records can change when charges are filed or dismissed, records are sealed, or an Oregon court grants a set-aside. Updates and omissions are unavoidable. No material on the website is an official statement from the Tillamook County Sheriff, an Oregon court, Oregon State Police, or another government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to Sheriff pages, Oregon court portals, state agencies, legal-aid organizations, and independent search providers. Those destinations are outside our control. We are not responsible for their content, availability, prices, or data practices. Review a provider's own terms before using its services.

8. Intellectual Property

Tillamook County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. You must obtain written permission before copying, distributing, changing, or creating derivative material from that work.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of the website, including reliance on information obtained here or through an outside service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by Oregon law. A dispute arising from website use must be brought in an Oregon court that has proper jurisdiction. Oregon government-record access is governed separately by Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.311-192.478, while dissemination of Oregon criminal-history information is restricted under ORS 181A.220 and authorized in limited circumstances by ORS 181A.245.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be modified only to the extent required for enforcement.

15. Questions

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