Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to the website, its content, and any search feature. Reading a page or submitting a search constitutes agreement to them. A visitor who does not accept the conditions must stop using the service.

NO FCRA USE. This is an independent private resource, not a government service, investigation firm, or consumer reporting agency. Content and partner tools are not offered for employment, credit, tenant, insurance, or any other decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Their permitted role is general research into Mercer County and Pennsylvania public-record channels.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference resource has no government affiliation. It neither stores official criminal files nor retrieves records, conducts official checks, or submits forms for a visitor.

Its function is to route readers to Mercer County courts, police and jail custodians, the Pennsylvania State Police repository, the PSP Megan's Law website, and optional outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use of the site is conditioned on these restrictions:

  • Do anything unlawful under federal, Pennsylvania, or local law
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
  • Use the content for an FCRA-regulated credit, insurance, housing, or employment decision
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any part of the service
  • Send bots, automated scrapers, or similar tools through the pages
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from this resource or a linked tool may not be used to threaten, stalk, harass, intimidate, or discriminate. Misuse may violate the law. Pennsylvania gives special warnings for Megan's Law registry data, which exists for public-safety awareness and never authorizes vigilantism or retaliation against a registrant.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Neither this resource nor its advertising partners creates consumer reports, credit files, or official background checks. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Information found here or through a linked tool may not be used to:

  • Evaluate a person's creditworthiness or insurance eligibility
  • Make an employment or termination decision
  • Review a tenant or other housing application
  • Determine eligibility for a covered license, benefit, or program
  • Serve any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

A lawful regulated check must come from the proper Pennsylvania State Police channel or a provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The content supplies general information, not legal advice. Questions about how a Mercer County charge, warrant, conviction, or expungement rule applies to a person require a licensed Pennsylvania attorney.

6. No Warranties

All material and functions are supplied "as is," without a promise that:

  • Outside search results will be accurate or comprehensive
  • Every page will remain free from faults or security weaknesses
  • The service will always be available without interruption
  • Information will be complete, current, and error-free at all times

Charges, outcomes, and public access can change after filing. Updates may lag, and no content here is an official statement by a court, law-enforcement office, or Pennsylvania agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to public agencies, courts, legal resources, or third-party services. Those destinations control their own content, privacy practices, prices, and availability. Their terms should be reviewed before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Mercer County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, code, logos, and graphics. Copying, modifying, distributing, or creating derivative material requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, liability is disclaimed for losses arising from use of this resource or reliance on information from it or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A user agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, actions, costs, and legal fees caused by that user's conduct or violation of these terms.

11. Governing Law

Pennsylvania law governs these terms, and a dispute related to the site must be filed in Pennsylvania. These terms do not alter access rights under the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law or dissemination rules in 18 Pa.C.S. Chapter 91.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised, and a posted revision becomes effective when it appears on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or ended at any time and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected text will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these terms may be directed through the Contact page.
