Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site is independent from every government office. It neither stores official records nor retrieves records, performs official checks, or files paperwork for a visitor.

The material points to Dillon County detention and law-enforcement custodians, criminal courts, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and the South Carolina Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside tools that may assist with personal research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you must not:

• Use the website in violation of federal, state, or local law
• Threaten, stalk, or harass another person with information found here
• Use the content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
• Attempt unauthorized access to a system or account
• Send bots, scrapers, or similar automated traffic to the pages
• Interfere with performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from the website or a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. South Carolina law specifically limits misuse of South Carolina Sex Offender Registry information. S.C. Code § 23-3-490 states that registry information must not be used to commit a crime or harass a registrant. It supports public safety awareness, not vigilantism or unlawful discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create background checks, credit files, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners do not offer linked services for evaluating job applicants, rental applicants, insurance eligibility, or credit. Data obtained here or through 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 person who needs a report for an FCRA-regulated purpose must use South Carolina Law Enforcement Division where appropriate or a compliant consumer reporting agency.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is not legal advice. General descriptions of Dillon County records cannot determine how a charge, warrant, conviction, or South Carolina expungement rule applies to one person. Consult a licensed South Carolina attorney for that advice.

6. No Warranties

All content is supplied "as is." We make no promise 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, sealing, and expungement can change a record after publication. Gaps and delays are possible. No statement here is an official representation by a court, sheriff, or agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Outbound links lead to law-enforcement pages, courts, South Carolina agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. We do not control a destination's content, data practices, charges, or availability. Its own terms apply after a visitor leaves this website.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Dillon County Criminal History or the applicable content partner. They may not be copied, altered, distributed, or used to create derivative work without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for harm arising from website use, including reliance on content obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

South Carolina law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from website use must be brought in a court located in South Carolina. The South Carolina Freedom of Information Act governs public-body records, not the private operation of this website.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A revision takes effect when the new version is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or end website access at any time and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected provision will be narrowed only as far as needed.

15. Questions
