Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of content on Putnam County Criminal History. Accessing any part of the website means the visitor accepts them. Anyone who does not agree should stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. Putnam County Criminal History is privately operated and has no affiliation with a local, Tennessee, or federal government body. Neither the website nor its advertising partners supplies a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This resource helps visitors locate criminal-record sources in Putnam County and Tennessee. It is neither a private investigation service nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference website with no governmental connection. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve files, perform official checks, or submit documents for a visitor.

Its function is to identify the offices that keep Putnam County criminal records, including the Sheriff's Records Division, criminal courts, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry, and to link to outside tools that may assist with research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is conditioned on an agreement not to:

  • Interfere with the website or another person's ability to use it.
  • Deploy bots, scraping systems, or other automated access tools.
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any website system.
  • Use content for lending, insurance, housing, or hiring decisions.
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass anyone with information found here.
  • Violate any applicable federal, Tennessee, or local law.

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from the website or a linked tool must not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct is prohibited and may be criminal. Tennessee places special limits on misuse of Tennessee Sex Offender Registry information. Registry data supports public safety awareness and does not authorize vigilante action, blacklisting, or discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Putnam 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 reviewing applicants, setting insurance rates, assessing rental applications, or judging credit. Data from this website or a linked tool may not be used to:

  • Take any action otherwise governed by the FCRA.
  • Determine eligibility for a government program, permit, or license.
  • Assess credit or establish an insurance premium.
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant.
  • Make a decision to hire or discharge a person.

A regulated use requires the proper official or FCRA-compliant process. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation checks have their own statutory scope and authorized fingerprint channels.

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Putnam County charge, conviction, warrant, or Tennessee expungement law applies to an individual matter. A licensed Tennessee attorney should address that question.

6. No Warranties

All material and services are supplied "as is." No guarantee is made that:

  • A partner search result will be complete or correct.
  • Every page is free from bugs, mistakes, or security weaknesses.
  • Service will remain continuous and uninterrupted.
  • All information will be complete, accurate, and current.

Charges may be filed, changed, dismissed, sealed, or expunged, so gaps and delays can occur. Content here is not an official statement from the Putnam County sheriff, a court, TBI, or any other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to sheriff, court, Tennessee agency, legal resource, and outside search websites. Those services are outside our control. We are not responsible for their availability, pricing, content, or treatment of submitted data. Their own terms should be reviewed before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Putnam County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, code, graphics, and logos. No one may copy, alter, distribute, or create derivative work from that material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the website and its operators are not liable for damage arising from its use, including reliance on content found here or through an outside service.

10. Indemnification

A user agrees to defend and hold the website and its operators harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by that user's conduct or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

Tennessee law governs these terms. A dispute related to website use must be brought in a court located in Tennessee.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised. A new version takes effect when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be limited only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
