Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to Butler County Criminal History. Reading a page, submitting a search, or otherwise using the website signals agreement with every term below. A person who does not agree must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a federal, Nebraska, or Butler County government body. Neither the website nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource helps visitors locate criminal-record channels in Butler County, Nebraska. It is neither a private-investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference resource with no government connection. We neither store official criminal records nor retrieve records, conduct official background checks, or submit papers for a visitor.

Its purpose is to identify the offices that maintain Butler County records, including the Sheriff, County and District Courts, Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect visitors with outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Every visitor agrees not to:

  • Interfere with the website or prevent another person from using it
  • Operate bots, scrapers, or other automated access tools against the pages
  • Attempt unauthorized access to a system or account
  • Use website content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
  • Violate a federal, Nebraska, or local law while using the website

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use information from this website or a linked tool to stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or discriminate against another person. Misuse can be criminal. The rule is especially important for Nebraska Sex Offender Registry data. Nebraska law governs registry disclosure and penalizes violations of the Sex Offender Registration Act. Registry information is intended for public-safety awareness, never retaliation, vigilantism, blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or official background checks. Our advertising partners do not offer linked services for evaluating applicants, renters, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. Information from this website or a linked tool must not be used to:

  • Perform any other activity regulated by the FCRA
  • Determine eligibility for a government benefit, permit, or license
  • Set insurance terms or evaluate creditworthiness
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Make a hiring, firing, or employment decision

A check for a regulated purpose must come through an authorized official process or a screening company that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is not legal advice. General information about Butler County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Nebraska set-aside rule applies to one person's facts. Seek advice from a licensed Nebraska attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are offered "as is." We make no promise that:

  • An outside search provider's result will be complete or correct
  • The pages contain no error, defect, or security weakness
  • The website will remain available without interruption
  • Any item is complete, accurate, or current at a particular time

Criminal records change when charges are filed, amended, dismissed, restricted, or set aside. Updates and omissions are unavoidable. No website statement is an official declaration by the Butler County Sheriff, a court, or a Nebraska agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff pages, court portals, Nebraska agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Those destinations are beyond our control. We are not responsible for their availability, content, privacy practices, fees, or terms. Review the destination's rules before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Butler County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, logos, graphics, and code. Written permission is required before copying, distributing, adapting, or building on that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from website use, including reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A visitor agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless from a claim, demand, or action caused by that visitor's use of the website or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Nebraska law governs these terms. A dispute related to website use must be brought in a court located in Nebraska. The Nebraska Public Records Statutes, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§84-712 through 84-712.09, govern public bodies and do not make this private website a records custodian. Covered criminal-history data is subject to Nebraska's Security, Privacy, and Dissemination of Criminal History Information Act, §§29-3501 through 29-3528.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these conditions. A revision takes effect when the updated terms are posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend or end access at any time, with or without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one term invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected provision will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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