Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of Lycoming County Criminal History. Reading a page, using a search feature, or otherwise continuing on the website indicates agreement. Anyone who does not accept the terms must stop using the service.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no local, state, or federal government affiliation. It is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its role is limited to helping readers locate Lycoming County and Pennsylvania criminal-record resources.

1. What This Website Is

This is an independent private reference site, not a government office. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve a record, perform an official background check, or file a document for a visitor.

Its content identifies Lycoming County police and court custodians, the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and the Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Website. Some pages also connect to third-party research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is conditioned on refraining from the following conduct:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • 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. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No person may use information from the website or a linked tool to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Pennsylvania registry information is published for public safety, and misuse can bring criminal prosecution or civil liability under the Megan's Law framework, including 42 Pa.C.S. § 9799.28. Vigilante conduct is forbidden.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background checks, or consumer reports. The website and its advertising partners do not offer tools designed for regulated screening. Content from this site or a linked tool must not be used 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

A regulated purpose requires an appropriate official or FCRA-compliant provider. Nothing here is represented as suitable for that use.

5. No Legal Advice

General descriptions of Lycoming County records are not legal advice. Only a licensed Pennsylvania attorney can assess how a charge, warrant, conviction, expungement, or limited-access rule applies to particular facts.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are supplied "as is," without a 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

Charges, dispositions, access rules, and agency procedures change. Information may therefore lag or contain gaps. No statement here is an official statement of a court, police agency, sheriff, or Pennsylvania office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to courts, Lycoming County offices, Pennsylvania agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. Those destinations are independently controlled. We are not responsible for their content, availability, prices, or data practices. Their terms should be reviewed separately.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Lycoming County Criminal History or its content partners. Written permission is required to copy, distribute, modify, or create derivative material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from website use, including reliance on content or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings arising from your use of the website or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

Pennsylvania law governs these terms, and any dispute tied to website use must be brought in a court located in Pennsylvania. Public-agency access under the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law and dissemination under 18 Pa.C.S. § 9121 do not make this private site a government custodian.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A new version takes effect when it is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is found invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue. The affected language will be narrowed only as much as needed for enforcement.

15. Questions

Questions about these terms may be directed through the Contact page.
