Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of Walla Walla County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its content, or submitting a query means you accept them. If you disagree with any condition, do not continue using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with Walla Walla County, Washington, or any government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site supplies public-resource directions only. It is not a private investigation service or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not store official criminal files, perform official checks, retrieve records, or submit documents for a visitor.

Its purpose is to identify the Walla Walla County courts, Sheriff, Corrections Department, Washington State Patrol, and Washington Sex Offender Public Registry that hold source records, along with outside tools that may aid lawful research. The Washington Public Records Act governs qualifying agency requests, while RCW 10.97.050 sets criminal-history dissemination limits; neither law makes this private site a records custodian.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information from this site or a linked service to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone. Washington registry data is published for lawful community awareness. Misuse of Washington Sex Offender Public Registry information against a listed person may lead to criminal penalties; vigilantism and discriminatory use are prohibited.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background checks, or other consumer reports. Our partners' tools are not offered here for applicant, renter, insurance, or credit decisions. You must not use this site or a linked tool to:

  • Decide whether to hire or fire someone
  • Screen potential renters or housing applicants
  • Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
  • Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
  • Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules

Any check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come from an appropriate official process or a provider that complies with the FCRA, not from this site.

5. No Legal Advice

Content here is not legal advice. General descriptions of Walla Walla County criminal records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, vacation, or sealing rule applies to one case. Washington addresses qualifying felony vacation in RCW 9.94A.640 and qualifying misdemeanor vacation in RCW 9.96.060. Consult a licensed Washington attorney for legal guidance.

6. No Warranties

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

  • The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
  • The site will stay up and running without interruptions
  • Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
  • Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Criminal records can change when charges are filed or dismissed and when records are sealed or convictions vacated. Gaps and delays are unavoidable. Nothing here is an official statement from a court, law-enforcement agency, or other government office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to government pages, courts, legal resources, and outside search services that we do not operate. We are not responsible for their availability, prices, privacy practices, or content. Review the destination's own terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Walla Walla County Criminal History or its content partners. You may not copy, adapt, distribute, or create derivative works without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

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

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims or demands caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.

11. Governing Law

Washington law governs these terms, including applicable principles under the Washington Consumer Protection Act, chapter 19.86 RCW. A dispute tied to site use must be brought in a court located in Washington.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A revision becomes effective when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend or end access at any time, with or without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be limited only as much as needed.

15. Questions

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