Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of Union County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its content, or submitting a search means that you accept them. If you disagree with any condition, do not continue using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This is a privately operated resource with no government affiliation. Neither the site nor its advertising partners supplies a service designed for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or another Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) purpose. It identifies criminal-record resources for Union County and New Jersey. It is neither a private-investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently of every government body. It does not store official records, submit filings, retrieve government documents, or perform an official background check.

Its content identifies Union County custodians, New Jersey courts, the New Jersey State Police State Bureau of Identification, and the New Jersey Sex Offender Internet Registry. Some pages also connect visitors with separately operated search services.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is conditioned on an agreement not to:

  • Use the service in violation of federal, New Jersey, or local law
  • Threaten, harass, stalk, or intimidate a person with information found here
  • Rely on site content for housing, employment, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data
  • Deploy a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
  • Interfere with site availability or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No information reached through this site may be used to stalk, threaten, intimidate, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. New Jersey imposes special restrictions on misuse of the New Jersey Sex Offender Internet Registry. N.J.S.A. 2C:7-16 permits civil and criminal consequences for threatening, intimidating, or harassing a registrant or family member. Registry information serves public safety, not vigilantism or blacklisting.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or official background checks. The same limitation applies to the way visitors may use information from this site or a linked tool. Prohibited uses include:

  • Making a hiring or termination decision
  • Evaluating a rental or housing application
  • Setting insurance eligibility, terms, or premiums
  • Determining creditworthiness
  • Any other decision regulated by the FCRA

A lawful regulated screening need must be handled through an authorized New Jersey State Police process or a provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed New Jersey attorney can advise how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement rule applies to a particular situation.

6. No Warranties

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

  • A page is complete, accurate, or current at every moment
  • Partner-search results are correct or comprehensive
  • The service will remain uninterrupted
  • The site contains no errors, vulnerabilities, or defects

Charges, custody, dispositions, and expungement status can change. Gaps or stale details are possible, and no page should be treated as an official statement from a New Jersey court or agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

A link may lead to a government portal, legal resource, or outside search company. We do not control a destination's content, availability, fees, or treatment of submitted data and are not responsible for them. Review the destination's own terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, code, and logos belong to Union County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, modified, distributed, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of the site, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims or demands caused by your use of the service or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

New Jersey law governs these terms, including applicable provisions of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. Public-record access remains governed by the Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., and criminal-history dissemination by N.J.S.A. 53:1-20.6 and N.J.A.C. 13:59. Any dispute concerning site use must be brought in a court located in New Jersey.

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

Access may be limited or terminated at any time, with or without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay effective. The affected provision will be narrowed only as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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