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 and do not use it further.

NO FCRA USE. This website is privately owned and operated. It is not affiliated with Cross County, the State of Arkansas, any court, sheriff, police department, or federal agency. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provide services for credit checks, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or any other use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site helps visitors locate criminal-record resources in Cross County and Arkansas. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site. It operates independently from government offices. It does not store official criminal records and cannot pull records, run official background checks, or file court documents for anyone.

Its purpose is to point readers toward offices and systems that hold Cross County criminal records - including the Cross County Sheriff's Office, the Circuit Clerk, Wynne District Court, Arkansas Crime Information Center and Arkansas State Police channels, and the Arkansas Sex Offender Registry - and to identify third-party tools that may assist lawful research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • 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

Using information from this site, or from any tool linked here, to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against any person is prohibited and may be a crime. This applies especially to sex offender registry information: Arkansas law controls the Arkansas Sex Offender Registry and public notification system, and misuse of registry information can carry criminal consequences. Registry data exists for public safety awareness, not for vigilante action or unlawful discrimination.

4. 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

If you need a background check for any FCRA-regulated purpose, use the proper official or FCRA-compliant channel rather than this site.

5. No Legal Advice

Nothing on this site is legal advice. It explains how criminal records generally work in Cross County, but it cannot tell you how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Arkansas sealing rule applies to your situation. For that, talk to a licensed Arkansas attorney.

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

Criminal records change often - charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, corrected, or updated after a disposition reaches the repository. Gaps are unavoidable. Nothing on this site should be treated as an official statement from a court, sheriff, police department, or government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

We link to sheriff's office sites, court portals, state agency pages, 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, what they charge, or whether their site stays online. Check their terms before using them.

8. Intellectual Property

All text, graphics, logos, and code on this site belong to Cross County Criminal History or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or build on the content without written permission first.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that come from using this site - including decisions made based on information found here or through any linked service.

10. 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.

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by Arkansas law, including applicable consumer-protection and records laws such as the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, Ark. Code Ann. § 4-88-101 et seq., the Arkansas Personal Information Protection Act, Ark. Code Ann. § 4-110-101 et seq., the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act of 1967, Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq., and Arkansas criminal-history dissemination statutes including Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1009 and § 12-12-1501 et seq. Any legal dispute connected to use of this site must be filed in courts located within Arkansas.

12. 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.

13. Cutting Off Access

We can limit or block your access to this site at any time, for any reason, with no warning.

14. Severability

If a court rules that any part of these terms is invalid or unenforceable, the rest stand. The problem section gets adjusted only as much as needed to make it work.
