Terms of Use

These terms set the rules for using this website. By visiting any page, running a search, or reading content here, you agree to everything listed below. If you do not accept these conditions, leave the site now and do not use it further.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site. We operate on our own with no ties to any government office at any level. We do not store official records and we cannot pull or file documents for anyone.

What we do is point you toward public records resources throughout Virginia and connect you with third-party tools that might help with your research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree to use this website only for legal purposes. That means you will not:

• Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
• Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten someone
• 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. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any 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

4. Links to Outside Sites

We link to court websites, government portals, legal aid organizations, and outside search services across this site. Clicking one of those links moves you off our platform and onto one we have no control over. We are not responsible for their content, how they handle data, or whether their site stays online. Check their terms before you start using them.

5. 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 any interruptions
• Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
• Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Public records change all the time. We try to keep up, but gaps are unavoidable. Nothing on this site should be treated as an official statement from a court or government agency.

6. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that come from using this site. That includes:

• Information that is wrong, missing, or out of date
• Personal injury or property damage of any kind, direct or indirect
• Someone getting into or tampering with your data while it is in transit
• The site going down, loading slowly, or having other technical problems
• Harmful code or malware you might run into through our site or linked services

7. 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.

8. Intellectual Property

All text, graphics, logos, and code on this site belong to Virginia Official Records or our content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or build on our content without getting written permission first.

9. 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. If you keep using the site after a change, that counts as accepting the new terms. It is worth checking back here from time to time so you know what the current rules are.

10. Cutting Off Access

We can limit or block your access to this site at any time, for any reason, with no warning. If you violate these terms, we may shut off your access right away.

11. Governing Law

These terms fall under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Any legal dispute connected to your use of this site must be filed in courts located within the Commonwealth of Virginia.

12. Severability

If a court rules that any part of these terms is invalid or cannot be enforced, the rest of the terms still stand. The problem section gets adjusted only as much as needed to make it work.

13. Questions
