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 privately owned website is not connected with Glades County, the State of Florida, or any government agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This is a criminal-record reference resource, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site. We operate on our own with no ties to any government office. We do not store official criminal records and we cannot pull records, run official background checks, or file documents for anyone.

The site identifies public record sources serving Glades County, such as the sheriff, the Glades Clerk, FDLE's Division of Criminal Justice Information Services, and the Florida Sexual Offenders and Predators Search. It also links to outside tools that may assist personal 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

You may not use information found here or through a linked tool to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone. Florida law governs use of the Florida Sexual Offenders and Predators Search, and misuse against a registrant may carry criminal consequences. Registry information supports public safety awareness, not vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing 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

For a regulated background check, use an authorized FDLE channel or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is not legal advice. General Glades County record information cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, sealing rule, or expunction rule applies to a particular case. Consult a Florida-licensed attorney for legal advice.

6. No Warranties

All site content is supplied "as is," without a 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

Criminal records can change when charges are filed or dismissed and when a court seals or expunges a case. Updates may lag, and site content is never an official statement from a court, sheriff, or public agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links to sheriff, court, Florida agency, legal-aid, and outside search pages lead to services beyond our control. We are not responsible for their availability, content, fees, or data practices. Review the destination's terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

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

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of the site or 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 site or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Florida law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the site must be brought in a court located in Florida.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A revision takes effect when it is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or ended at any time, without prior notice.

14. Severability

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