FCRA Restriction. Rowan County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency. Do not use its information or any linked result for credit, employment, tenant screening, insurance, or another decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
1. What This Website Is
This privately operated reference describes official Rowan County and North Carolina record sources. It is not connected with Rowan County, the courts, law enforcement, NCSBI, NCDAC, or the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry. It does not issue government records.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use the service only for lawful personal research and record access. A user may not disrupt the website, defeat security controls, scrape or overload its systems, impersonate another person, submit unlawful material, or use information to violate a person's rights.
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information must not be used to stalk, threaten, intimidate, harass, or unlawfully discriminate. Registry data is published for public safety, not vigilantism. North Carolina G.S. 14-208.18A restricts specified misuse of registry information, and other conduct may violate additional law.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
No consumer report, credit report, or official background check is created here. A visitor agrees not to use content or linked search results for:
- Credit or lending decisions
- Employment or worker screening
- Rental or housing decisions
- Insurance eligibility or rates
- Any other FCRA-regulated purpose
When an authorized check is required, use the proper NCSBI or FCRA-compliant process.
5. No Legal Advice
General explanations about Rowan records are educational. They do not form an attorney-client relationship or resolve how North Carolina law applies to a personal charge, warrant, case, or expunction.
6. No Warranties
The website and its information are supplied "as is" and "as available." No warranty promises uninterrupted operation, error-free code, complete results, current government procedures, or a correct identity match. Verify important information with the office that maintains the source record.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Outside providers and linked government sites control their own content, pricing, availability, privacy terms, and results. Following a link leaves this operator's control, and use of that destination is at the visitor's risk.
8. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise identified, site text, graphics, branding, and code are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. They may not be copied, modified, distributed, or used to create a derivative work without written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the operator is not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from use of the website, reliance on a result, or inability to access a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to defend and hold the operator harmless from claims, demands, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from that user's misuse of the service or breach of these terms.
11. Governing Law
North Carolina law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. A dispute connected with website use must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in North Carolina. Public access to official agency records remains governed separately by the North Carolina Public Records Law and other applicable statutes.
12. Changes to These Terms
The operator may revise these terms. A revision becomes effective when posted, and continued use after posting indicates acceptance.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended, with or without notice, when the operator determines that doing so is appropriate.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue. The affected provision will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
15. Questions
