Terms of Use

These conditions govern all use of Buffalo County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its material, or submitting a search means that you agree to them. If you do not agree, stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. Buffalo County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. This site and its advertising partners do not provide products for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or any other decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site is a Nebraska public-record reference, not a private investigation service or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no relationship to any government body. It does not store official criminal records, perform official checks, retrieve files, or submit documents for a user.

The service identifies official custodians for Buffalo County criminal records, including shared KPD and sheriff Records, Nebraska trial courts, the Nebraska State Patrol repository, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Interfere with availability or prevent others from accessing the service
  • Use bots, scrapers, or another automated collection method
  • Gain or attempt unauthorized access to any system
  • Harass, threaten, or stalk a person using information found here
  • Make an FCRA-regulated credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
  • Violate federal, Nebraska, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to harass, intimidate, stalk, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may be criminal. Nebraska Sex Offender Registry information is published for public notice and safety awareness. Retaliation, threats, vandalism, and vigilante action against a registrant, family member, or employer are forbidden and may lead to prosecution.

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. Our advertising partners do not turn this site into a service for evaluating credit, insurance, employment, or housing. Information from this site or a linked tool may not be used to:

  • Evaluate a person's creditworthiness or insurance rate
  • Make a hiring or termination choice
  • Review a housing or rental application
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other action regulated by the FCRA

When the law requires a check for one of those purposes, use the authorized Nebraska State Patrol process or a service that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Site material is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Buffalo County charge, conviction, warrant, set-aside, sealing rule, or narrow expungement remedy applies to one person. Obtain advice from a licensed Nebraska attorney.

6. No Warranties

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

  • A partner's search result will be complete or correct
  • Every page will remain free from bugs, errors, or security flaws
  • Access will always be uninterrupted
  • Information will be complete, accurate, and current at all times

Criminal records can change as charges are filed or dismissed and as courts grant sealing, set-aside, or other relief. Gaps and delay are possible. Nothing published here is an official statement from the sheriff, a court, or another government office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to sheriff pages, court systems, Nebraska agencies, legal resources, and outside search providers. Following one leaves this site for a service we do not control. We are not responsible for its availability, content, fees, or data practices. Review the destination's terms first.

8. Intellectual Property

Buffalo County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, logos, graphics, and code. No one may copy, distribute, adapt, or create derivative material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damage arising from use of the site or reliance on information obtained here or from a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from a claim, demand, or legal action caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Nebraska law governs these terms. A dispute tied to use of the site must be brought in a court located in Nebraska.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these conditions. 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, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in force. The affected text will be changed only as far as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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