1. What This Website Is
This is an independent informational resource, not a Stanislaus County, California, court, police, sheriff, or state agency service. It does not issue, certify, or maintain government records.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use must be lawful and must not disrupt the site or infringe another person's rights.
- Do not attempt unauthorized access or interfere with security
- Do not submit malicious code or overload the service
- Do not misrepresent site content as an official government record
- Do not use data in a way forbidden by law or an originating agency
- Do not scrape or republish content in violation of applicable rights
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Record and registry information must not be used to threaten, harass, stalk, discriminate against, or harm anyone. California Megan's Law information carries specific misuse limits under Penal Code section 290.46.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its information and tools may not be used for employment screening, tenant screening, credit decisions, insurance eligibility, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose. Users needing an authorized official check must follow the proper California DOJ Live Scan or other statutory process.
5. No Legal Advice
General descriptions of California law, Stanislaus County procedure, or record relief are not legal advice and do not create a professional relationship.
6. No Warranties
Content is provided as available without a promise that it is complete, current, accurate, secure, or fit for a particular purpose. Agencies may change fees, hours, links, access rules, and records.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Outside sites and search partners control their own content, terms, privacy practices, prices, and results. A link does not guarantee or endorse an outside service.
8. Intellectual Property
Original text, arrangement, and site branding are protected to the extent allowed by law. Government materials remain subject to the rights and rules of their source agencies.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, the operator is not liable for losses arising from use, inability to use, reliance on content, third-party services, or an agency's record decision.
10. Indemnification
Users agree to defend and hold the operator harmless from claims caused by their unlawful use, violation of these terms, or infringement of another person's rights.
11. Governing Law
California law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The California Public Records Act and Penal Code sections 11105 and 13300 govern agencies and criminal-history disclosure, not this private site's creation of official records.
12. Changes to These Terms
Terms may be revised when services or legal requirements change. Continued use after publication of a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended when needed to protect the service, enforce these terms, meet legal duties, or prevent abuse.
14. Severability
If one provision cannot be enforced, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the fullest lawful extent.
15. Questions
Questions about an official record should be directed to the Stanislaus County or California office that holds it. Third-party service questions belong with that provider.
