NO FCRA USE. Berkeley County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. We and our advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This is a record-location resource, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference website with no connection to a court, sheriff, police department, or state office. It neither stores official criminal files nor retrieves records, performs official checks, or submits forms for users.
Our material identifies Berkeley County and West Virginia custodians, including the courts, sheriff, West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, and West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry. Public-body requests are governed by the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, chapter 29B, while CIB disclosure follows West Virginia Code §15-2-24. Those laws do not make this private site a records custodian.
2. Rules for Using This Site
As a condition of use, you must not:
- Use automated scrapers, bots, or similar tools against the website
- Disrupt performance or interfere with another visitor's access
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any account, server, or system
- Rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another FCRA-regulated decision
- Stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass anyone with information found here
- Violate a federal, West Virginia, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No visitor may use information from this website or a linked service to threaten, stalk, harass, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Misuse can also violate criminal law. West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry data is provided for lawful public-safety awareness, never vigilantism or action against a listed person or household.
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 limit applies to the intended use of advertising-partner tools. Information from this website or a linked tool may not be used to:
- Determine credit terms or insurance eligibility
- Evaluate a renter or housing application
- Make a hiring, firing, or other employment decision
- Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or public program
- Carry out any other purpose controlled by the FCRA
A lawful check for one of those purposes must come through the appropriate official West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau process or a provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
Website content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed West Virginia attorney can advise how a Berkeley County charge, warrant, conviction, or expungement rule affects a particular situation.
6. No Warranties
All content and functions are supplied "as is," without a guarantee that:
- An outside search provider will return complete or correct results
- Every page is free from bugs, mistakes, or security weaknesses
- The website will remain continuously available
- Information will always be current, complete, and accurate
Charges, dispositions, sealing orders, and expungements can change a record after publication. Gaps and delays are possible, and nothing here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, or other public agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to government offices, courts, legal-aid organizations, or private services that we do not operate. We are not responsible for an outside site's accuracy, availability, privacy practices, fees, or other content. Its own terms apply after a visitor leaves this website.
8. Intellectual Property
Berkeley County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required before copying, modifying, distributing, or creating a derivative work from that material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from use of this website, its information, or any linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, demands, and proceedings caused by your website use or breach of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.
11. Governing Law
West Virginia law governs these terms. A dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in West Virginia.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may suspend, limit, or end a visitor's access at any time and without advance notice.
14. Severability
If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
