Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of Marinette County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its content, or submitting a query through a search tool indicates acceptance of the terms below. Anyone who does not agree should stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. Marinette County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its purpose is to identify public criminal-record resources in Marinette County and Wisconsin.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no connection to a court or government agency. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, submits filings, or conducts official checks for visitors.

The site identifies the Marinette County Sheriff's Office, Wisconsin Circuit Court, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry, and related official sources. It may also connect visitors to outside search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is conditioned on agreement not to:

  • Operate a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
  • Interfere with site speed, access, availability, or another visitor's use
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any account, server, or protected system
  • Use information to threaten, stalk, or harass a person
  • Rely on site content for a regulated housing, hiring, lending, or insurance decision
  • Violate federal, Wisconsin, or local law while using the service

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No information obtained here or through a linked service may be used to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. That limit is especially important for Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry data. The registry exists for safety awareness, not confrontation or vigilante conduct, and misuse against a listed person may violate Wisconsin law and the registry's terms.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create credit reports, consumer reports, or official background checks. Its content and linked tools may not be used to:

  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public program
  • Set an insurance rate or assess creditworthiness
  • Evaluate a rental or housing application
  • Make an employment decision
  • Carry out any other purpose controlled by the FCRA

A regulated check must come from a lawful, appropriate channel such as an FCRA-compliant provider or an authorized Wisconsin DOJ process.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Wisconsin attorney can advise how a warrant, charge, conviction, sentence, registry duty, or expungement rule applies to a particular matter.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are supplied "as is." No warranty is made that:

  • A partner's search result will be complete or correct
  • The pages contain no bug, mistake, or security weakness
  • The service will remain available without interruption
  • Every fact is complete, accurate, and current

Records can change when charges are filed or dismissed and when a court restricts or expunges an eligible record. Gaps and delays are possible. Nothing published here is an official statement of the Marinette County sheriff, circuit clerk, Wisconsin DOJ, or any other agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to county offices, Wisconsin agencies, court portals, legal resources, and outside search providers. Those destinations are independently controlled. This site is not responsible for their content, privacy practices, charges, accuracy, or continued availability. Review the destination's terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Marinette County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distributing, adapting, or building on that material requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site is not liable for damages arising from its use, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the site harmless from claims, demands, or legal proceedings caused by your use or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Wisconsin law governs these terms, and any dispute connected with site use must be brought in a court located in Wisconsin. For context, Wisconsin public authorities handle record access under Wis. Stat. §§ 19.31-19.39, and DOJ criminal-information dissemination is addressed by Wis. Stat. § 165.83.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is 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 continue in effect. The affected language will be limited only as much as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be submitted through the Contact page.
