NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act purposes. It is a Northampton County, Pennsylvania records reference, not a private investigator or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no connection to a public office. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, performs official checks, or submits documents for a visitor.
Its role is to identify Northampton County custodians and official Pennsylvania systems, including the Criminal Division, Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, UJS Portal, PA DOC, and Pennsylvania Megan's Law Public Website, alongside optional outside tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is permitted only if you agree not to:
- Use the website in violation of federal, Pennsylvania, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information obtained here
- Use website content for a hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decision
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
- Deploy bots, scraping software, or other automated collection tools
- Interfere with performance or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No information from this website or a linked tool may be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Misuse may be criminal. Pennsylvania's Megan's Law Public Website specifically warns against threatening, intimidating, or harassing a registrant or another person. Registry data supports public-safety awareness, not vigilantism or unlawful adverse treatment.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Our advertising partners' tools are not offered for FCRA-regulated decisions. You agree not to use website or linked-tool data to:
- Evaluate an applicant or worker for hiring or termination
- Assess a renter or housing application
- Set credit or insurance eligibility or terms
- Determine access to a license, permit, or public program
- Make any other decision regulated by the FCRA
A legally required check must be obtained through an authorized official process or a provider that complies with the FCRA and all applicable law.
5. No Legal Advice
Website content is not legal advice. General descriptions of Northampton County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, limited-access rule, or expungement provision applies to a person. Consult a licensed Pennsylvania lawyer for legal advice.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are provided "as is." We make no guarantee that:
- Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
- Website access will remain continuous or uninterrupted
- Pages will contain no error, bug, or security weakness
- A partner search result will be accurate or comprehensive
Charges, dockets, custody status, limited-access orders, and expungements can change a record. Delays and gaps are unavoidable, and no website statement is an official statement from Northampton County, Pennsylvania State Police, a court, or any other agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to county offices, courts, Pennsylvania agencies, legal resources, and independent services that we do not control. We are not responsible for an outside site's content, availability, prices, or data practices. Review its terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Northampton County Criminal History or its content partners owns the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, redistribution, modification, or derivative use requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from website use, linked services, or reliance on information obtained from either.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Pennsylvania law governs these terms. A dispute connected with website use must be brought in a court located in Pennsylvania. Public-record access itself is separately governed by laws such as the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law and the Criminal History Record Information Act.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A revision takes effect when the updated text appears on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is found invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected text will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
