Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to Pasquotank County Criminal History. Opening a page, reading its material, or submitting a query through an available search feature constitutes agreement to these terms. A visitor who does not agree must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. Pasquotank County Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, state, or federal government body. It and its advertising partners do not provide a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site offers reference material about public-record sources in Pasquotank County, North Carolina. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

Pasquotank County Criminal History is an independent reference website. It is not part of a court, law-enforcement agency, or other government office. The site cannot conduct an official background check, file a form for a visitor, retrieve a certified copy, or maintain the government's original records.

Its material directs readers to custodians such as the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office, the Clerk of Superior Court, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, and the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry. Access to those sources is controlled by North Carolina law. G.S. 7A-109 governs inspection of clerk records, while the North Carolina Public Records Law in Chapter 132 and G.S. 132-1.4 distinguish general public records from protected criminal-investigation material. The website may also connect users to outside search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use must remain lawful, respectful, and compatible with normal website operation. A visitor must not:

  • Interfere with access for other visitors or burden the service
  • Use the content for lending, insurance, employment, or tenant decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into an account, server, or system
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person using information found here
  • Deploy a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
  • Violate federal, North Carolina, or local law through use of the website

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No information from this website or a linked service may be used to harass, intimidate, stalk, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against another person. The restriction is especially important for the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry. North Carolina law, including G.S. 14-208.10, makes registry information public for safety awareness, not retaliation or vigilantism. Misuse against a listed person may lead to criminal penalties.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Neither Pasquotank County Criminal History nor its advertising partners produces credit reports, consumer reports, or official background checks. The website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Information from the site or a linked tool must not be used to:

  • Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
  • Make a hiring, firing, or other employment decision
  • Evaluate a rental application or prospective tenant
  • Determine access to a license, permit, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other activity governed by the FCRA

An official check needed for a legally authorized purpose should be ordered through the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Content on the website is informational, not legal advice. General descriptions of Pasquotank County records cannot determine how a pending charge, warrant, conviction, or expunction law applies to one person's facts. A licensed North Carolina attorney should be consulted for advice.

6. No Warranties

The website and all of its content are supplied "as is." No promise or warranty is made that:

  • Partner-search results will be complete, current, or correctly matched
  • Every page will remain available without interruption
  • Site content will always be accurate or up to date
  • The website will contain no bug, error, or security weakness

Pasquotank County records can change as charges are filed, reduced, dismissed, expunged, or otherwise restricted. A gap or old entry is possible. Content here is not an official statement from the sheriff, a court, the SBI, or any government custodian.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

The website links to court portals, law-enforcement pages, North Carolina agencies, legal-aid resources, and outside search companies. Following a link transfers the visitor to a service beyond this site's control. Pasquotank County Criminal History is not responsible for that service's availability, fees, terms, data handling, accuracy, or content. Review the destination's own rules before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the text, code, graphics, and logos on this website are owned by Pasquotank County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, redistributed, or used to create another work without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pasquotank County Criminal History is not responsible for loss or damage arising from use of the website, its information, or an outside service reached through a link.

10. Indemnification

A visitor agrees to defend and hold the site harmless from claims, demands, proceedings, costs, and reasonable legal fees that arise from that visitor's use of the website or violation of these terms.

11. Governing Law

North Carolina law governs these terms. Any court action arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in North Carolina.

12. Changes to These Terms

These conditions may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is published on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access to all or part of the website may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only to the minimum extent needed for enforcement.
