Terms of Use

These terms govern every visit to Grand County Criminal History, including use of its articles, links, and search tools. By continuing to use the website, you agree to these conditions. If you do not agree, discontinue access.

NO FCRA USE. Grand County Criminal History is privately operated and has no affiliation with Grand County, Utah, or any government body. Neither this website nor its advertising partners offers a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm.

1. What This Website Is

Grand County Criminal History is an independent reference resource. It cannot access government databases on a visitor's behalf, conduct an official check, file documents, or issue a certified record.

The content routes readers to custodians such as the Grand County Sheriff, Utah Courts, the Utah Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Identification, and the Utah Sex, Kidnap, and Child Abuse Offender Registry/Notification website. Some pages also connect to independently operated search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you agree not to:

  • Use the website in violation of federal, Utah, or local law
  • Stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person with information found here
  • Rely on site content for credit, employment, housing, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any account, server, page, or system
  • Run scrapers, bots, or other automated extraction tools against the site
  • Interfere with service availability or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information reached through this website must not be used to intimidate, stalk, harass, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Registry data requires special care. Utah Code §53-29-404 warns against harassment, stalking, threats, or harm directed at a registrant or family. Public notice supports safety awareness, not vigilantism or improper exclusion.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Grand County Criminal History does not create a credit report, background report, or other consumer report and is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. You must not use this website or a linked tool to:

  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Evaluate an applicant for a rental or other housing
  • Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

A legally authorized official check must come from BCI or another service that is appropriate and compliant for the intended purpose. Utah Code §53-10-108 controls BCI dissemination and subject access.

5. No Legal Advice

General explanations about Grand County records are not legal advice. They cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, expungement, or access rule applies to a particular person. Consult a Utah-licensed attorney for advice.

6. No Warranties

The website and its content are supplied "as is." No warranty is made that:

  • Any page is complete, accurate, or current at a particular moment
  • Access will always be available or free of interruption
  • The website contains no defects, errors, or security risks
  • An outside search provider will return complete or correctly matched results

Grand County and Utah agencies may change records, fees, rules, hours, and public access. Charges can also be amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Site content is not an official statement from an agency or court.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to government sites, court portals, legal resources, and independent search providers. Their owners control content, fees, privacy practices, terms, and availability. Grand County Criminal History is not responsible for an outside service. Review that service's terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Unless another owner is identified, the website's text, graphics, logo material, and code belong to Grand County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, adapting, distributing, or building upon that material requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Grand County Criminal History is not responsible for losses or damages arising from website use, inability to use the site, reliance on its content, or use of an outside service reached through a link.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold Grand County Criminal History harmless from claims, proceedings, costs, and reasonable legal fees resulting from your use of the website or violation of these terms.

11. Governing Law

Utah law governs these terms. Any proceeding arising from use of Grand County Criminal History must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Utah.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated. A revision takes effect when the new text is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or ended at any time, without advance notice, including when a visitor violates these terms or threatens the website's operation.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. The affected term is narrowed only as far as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
