Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Reading content, opening a page, or submitting a search signals agreement with every term stated here. If you do not agree, discontinue use of the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no connection to a local, Alabama, or federal government body. Neither the website nor its advertising partners provides a service designed for employment screening, credit decisions, tenant evaluation, insurance underwriting, or any other Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) purpose. It is a reference for Cullman County, Alabama criminal-record sources, not a private-investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is an independent private reference site. It does not store official criminal records and cannot retrieve a record, complete an official background check, or submit a filing for a visitor.

The content directs readers to Cullman County Sheriff Records, Circuit and District Courts in the county seat of Cullman, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use of the website is conditioned on an agreement not to:

  • Run a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
  • Violate any applicable local, Alabama, or federal law
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person using information found here
  • Use the content for housing, hiring, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Enter protected systems or information without authorization
  • Disrupt website performance or interfere with another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No website or linked-tool information may be used to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. Registry information requires special care. Alabama law reserves it for lawful public-safety awareness, not vigilantism, blacklisting, or housing discrimination. The Alabama Open Records Act governs access to public writings, and Ala. Code § 41-9-601 can punish false-pretense acquisition or unauthorized communication of criminal-offender information.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not prepare consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Our advertising partners likewise do not provide tools here for applicant screening, rental review, insurance pricing, or credit decisions. Website and linked-tool data may not be used to:

  • Determine creditworthiness or an insurance premium
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or public program
  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA

A check for one of those purposes must come through an authorized Alabama Law Enforcement Agency process or an FCRA-compliant screening provider.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is not legal advice. General descriptions of Cullman County records cannot determine how an Alabama warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement law affects an individual case. Seek advice from an Alabama-licensed attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content is supplied "as is," without a guarantee that:

  • A partner search returns complete or accurate information
  • Every page is free from bugs, errors, or security flaws
  • The website remains available without interruption
  • Information is complete, current, or accurate at a particular moment

Criminal records can change as charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, corrected, or expunged. Gaps and delay are unavoidable. No content here is an official statement by the Cullman County Sheriff, a court, or any government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to sheriff pages, court portals, state agencies, legal-aid organizations, or outside search services. Those destinations are not under our control. We are not responsible for their content, availability, data handling, or fees. Review a destination's own terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

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

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from website use, including reliance on information supplied here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Alabama law governs these terms. The Legislature's official Code of Alabama index is the source for the state statutes cited here. A dispute related to website use must be brought in a court located within Alabama.

12. Changes to These Terms

These conditions may be revised at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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