Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently of government. It neither stores official records nor retrieves them, performs official checks, or submits filings for a visitor.

Its guides identify custodians of Archuleta County material, including ACSO, local court clerks, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and the Colorado Sex Offender Registry, and may link to outside research tools. Public access to Colorado criminal-justice records is governed in part by the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act (CCJRA), C.R.S. §§24-72-301 through 309; other public records may fall under the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), C.R.S. §§24-72-201 through 206.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of use, you agree not to:

• Use bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools on the pages
• Use site information to threaten, stalk, or harass a person
• Interfere with performance or prevent another visitor's access
• Rely on the content for a hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decision
• Attempt unauthorized access to the site's systems
• Violate any applicable local, Colorado, or federal law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Site or linked-tool information may not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone; such conduct may also be criminal. Colorado places particular restrictions on misuse of Colorado Sex Offender Registry information. Registry access supports community-safety awareness, not vigilantism, retaliation, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not produce background, credit, or consumer reports. Its services and those of its advertising partners are not designed to evaluate job applicants, rental applications, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. You may not use information from the site or a linked tool to:

• Determine creditworthiness or insurance pricing
• Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
• Make an employment or termination decision
• Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
• Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A check for any regulated purpose must be obtained from an authorized, FCRA-compliant provider or through the official process required by Colorado law.

5. No Legal Advice

The site's general explanations of Archuleta County criminal records are not legal advice. Only a licensed Colorado attorney can advise how a warrant, charge, conviction, or record-sealing rule applies to particular facts.

6. No Warranties

All material and services are provided "as is," without a guarantee that:

• A partner's search results will be complete or correct
• The information is always current, complete, or accurate
• The website will operate continuously
• The pages contain no error, defect, or security vulnerability

Criminal-record status changes as charges are filed or dismissed and records are sealed or, chiefly for eligible juvenile matters in Colorado, expunged. Gaps and delays are possible, and no page is an official statement by a court, sheriff, or agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff and court pages, Colorado agencies, legal-aid organizations, or commercial services outside our control. We are not responsible for an external site's content, availability, prices, or data practices; review its terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Archuleta County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to copy, distribute, adapt, or create derivative works from that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of the website, including reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Colorado law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from website use must be brought in a court located in Colorado.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time, and a revision becomes effective when posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect, and the affected provision is modified only to the extent needed for enforceability.

15. Questions
