NO FCRA USE. Herkimer County Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, New York State, or federal government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or any other decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This resource identifies Herkimer County record channels. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government affiliation. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves them, conducts official checks, or files documents for a visitor.
The content directs readers to Herkimer County record custodians, including the Sheriff's Office and court clerks, as well as the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services and New York State Sex Offender Registry. It may also connect a visitor with outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, you agree not to:
- Use site information to stalk, threaten, or harass another person
- Violate any applicable local, New York State, or federal law
- Use the content for lending, insurance, employment, or housing decisions
- Attempt unauthorized access to the site's systems
- Deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated tools against these pages
- Interfere with site performance or another person's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use information from this site or a linked tool to threaten, stalk, intimidate, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against another person. New York Correction Law Article 6-C governs the New York State Sex Offender Registry, and misuse of registry information against a listed person can lead to criminal charges. Registry data serves public safety and community awareness. It does not authorize vigilantism, blacklisting, or discrimination.
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. Site content and linked tools are not offered for evaluating applicants, setting insurance rates, making credit judgments, or reviewing housing requests. You may not use them to:
- Make an employment decision
- Evaluate a housing or rental application
- Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated decision
A person who needs a lawful check for a regulated purpose must use the proper official New York channel or an FCRA-compliant screening provider.
5. No Legal Advice
The site offers general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Herkimer County charge, conviction, warrant, or New York record-sealing rule applies to an individual. Consult a lawyer licensed in New York for that advice.
6. No Warranties
All site content is provided "as is." We make no guarantee that:
- Partner search results will be complete or correct
- The website will remain available without interruption
- Information will always be current, complete, or accurate
- The pages will contain no errors, defects, or security weaknesses
Criminal records can change as charges are filed, resolved, dismissed, or sealed. Gaps and delays are possible. No content here is an official statement from the Herkimer County Sheriff's Office, a court, DCJS, or another government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to sheriff, court, New York agency, legal-resource, or outside search pages. We do not operate those services and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, prices, availability, or terms. Review the destination's rules before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Herkimer County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used for derivative work without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from site use, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal actions caused by your site use or breach of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.
11. Governing Law
New York law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of this site must be filed in a court located in New York. New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6, governs requests to covered government agencies and does not make this private site a government records custodian. Criminal-history access remains subject to New York Criminal Procedure Law sealing provisions and Correction Law Article 6-C.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A new version becomes effective when posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions stay in force. The affected term will be adjusted only as far as necessary to make it enforceable.
