Terms of Use

These terms govern use of Cleveland County Criminal History. By visiting pages, reading guides, or using tools on this site, you agree to the conditions below. If you do not accept them, do not continue using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This website is privately owned and run. It has no affiliation with any local, state, or federal government body. Neither this site nor any advertising partner provides consumer reports or services for any purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site exists to help visitors understand Cleveland County, Arkansas criminal-record resources. We are not a private investigation firm, and we are not a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site. We operate independently and are not part of Cleveland County, the State of Arkansas, any court, or any law-enforcement agency. We do not store official criminal records and cannot pull records, run official background checks, or file documents for anyone.

Our pages point readers toward offices and systems that may hold Cleveland County records: the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office, Circuit and District Courts in Rison, Search ARCourts, ARCH, Arkansas State Police, ACIC, and the Arkansas Sex Offender Registry. We may also link to third-party tools that operate outside our control.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Violate any federal, Arkansas, or local law while using this site
  • Use information found here to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten anyone
  • Use this site or linked tools for any FCRA-regulated purpose
  • Attempt to access systems or data you are not authorized to access
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Interfere with the site or prevent other visitors from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Using information from this site, or from any tool linked here, to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully target any person is prohibited and may be a crime. This is especially important for Arkansas Sex Offender Registry information. Registry data managed through ACIC exists for public safety awareness and lawful community notification, not for retaliation or vigilante action.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate consumer reports, official criminal-history checks, or certified records. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide FCRA-compliant consumer-reporting services. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:

  • Make any decision regulated by the FCRA
  • Treat a third-party search result as an official Arkansas criminal-history record
  • Rely on an unverified record match as proof of identity or current legal status
  • Use registry information for harassment, intimidation, or retaliation
  • Bypass official Arkansas State Police, ACIC, court, or sheriff channels when an official record is required

When an official Arkansas criminal-history product is required, use the Arkansas State Police, ACIC, ARCH, Search ARCourts, or the court or sheriff office that maintains the original record.

5. No Legal Advice

Nothing on this site is legal advice. We explain how criminal records generally work in Cleveland County, but we cannot tell you how a charge, conviction, warrant, or record-sealing rule applies to a specific situation. For that, talk to a licensed Arkansas attorney.

6. No Warranties

Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee 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 change often as charges are filed, dismissed, corrected, or sealed. We try to keep pages useful, but gaps are unavoidable. Nothing on this site should be treated as an official statement from a court, sheriff, Arkansas State Police, ACIC, or any other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

We link to county offices, Search ARCourts, ARCH, Arkansas State Police, ACIC, Arkansas Department of Corrections, registry pages, legal information resources, and outside search services. Clicking one of those links moves you to a site we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, data practices, pricing, or availability.

8. Intellectual Property

All text, graphics, logos, and code on this site belong to Cleveland County Criminal History or our content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or build on our content without written permission unless the law allows it.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that come from using this site, relying on information found here, or using any linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to hold us harmless from any claim, legal action, or demand that stems from how you used this site or from breaking these terms. That includes covering our legal fees and related costs.

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arkansas. Any legal dispute connected to use of this site must be filed in courts located within Arkansas, unless controlling law requires a different venue.

12. Changes to These Terms

We can update these terms whenever we see fit. New terms go into effect the moment they appear on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We can limit or block your access to this site at any time, for any reason, with no warning.

14. Severability

If a court rules that any part of these terms is invalid or unenforceable, the rest stand. The problem section gets adjusted only as much as needed to make it work.
