Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Browsing content or submitting a search signifies acceptance of every term below. Anyone who disagrees must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. Teller County Criminal History is privately operated and has no affiliation with a local, Colorado, or federal government body. The website and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This resource helps visitors locate criminal-record sources in Teller County and Colorado. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is an independent private reference site, not a government service. It does not keep official criminal records, retrieve records on request, perform official background checks, or file documents for visitors.

Its role is to identify the custodians of Teller County records, including the Sheriff's Office, the criminal courts, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, and the Colorado Sex Offender Registry, while also linking to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you must not:

  • Violate a federal, Colorado, or local law
  • Stalk, intimidate, harass, or threaten another person
  • Rely on the content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Deploy bots, crawlers, scrapers, or similar automated processes
  • Interfere with performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked service may not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Misuse can violate the law. Colorado places specific limits on Colorado Sex Offender Registry data, and misconduct directed at a listed person can result in criminal penalties. Registry information supports public safety awareness. It does not authorize retaliation, vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Teller County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It creates no credit report, background check, or other consumer report. Neither the website nor its advertising partners offers a service designed to review applicants, rental applications, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. Information from the website or a linked tool must not be used to:

  • Make an employment or termination decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Assess credit or establish an insurance rate
  • Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA

For a legally permitted screening purpose, use the appropriate official process through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Teller County charge, conviction, warrant, sealing rule, or narrow expungement remedy applies to a specific person. Consult a Colorado-licensed attorney for advice.

6. No Warranties

All website content is offered "as is," without a guarantee that:

  • Information will always be complete, correct, or current
  • Service will remain available without delay or interruption
  • Pages will contain no defect, error, or security weakness
  • Outside search results will be accurate or comprehensive

Criminal records can change when charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, or otherwise updated. Delays and gaps may occur. No content here is an official statement from a court, sheriff, CBI, or another government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff sites, court systems, Colorado agencies, legal organizations, and outside search services. Those destinations operate independently. Teller County Criminal History is not responsible for their content, privacy practices, prices, availability, or service quality. Review the destination's terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Teller County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, altered, distributed, or used to create derivative works without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Teller County Criminal History is not liable for damages arising from website use, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the website harmless from claims, proceedings, or demands caused by your use of the service or violation of these terms, including reasonable legal fees and associated costs.

11. Governing Law

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

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is found invalid or unenforceable, every other provision remains effective. The affected term will be modified only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
