Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of Cape May County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its material, or submitting a query means that you accept all terms below. If you disagree with any condition, do not continue using the website.

NO FCRA USE. Cape May County Criminal History is privately operated and has no affiliation with a local, state, or federal government agency. Neither the website nor its advertising partners offers a service designed for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant screening, or another purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This is a reference resource for locating criminal-record channels in Cape May County, New Jersey. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no connection to a government office. It does not store official criminal records, submit filings, retrieve certified records, or perform official background checks for visitors.

Its content points to the Cape May County Sheriff’s Office, New Jersey Courts, the New Jersey State Police State Bureau of Identification, and the New Jersey Sex Offender Internet Registry. Public court records are governed by New Jersey Court Rule 1:38; executive-agency requests may fall under OPRA, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.; and N.J.S.A. 53:1-20.6 concerns dissemination of state criminal-history information. Those official channels remain separate from outside search tools linked for research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, you agree not to:

  • Use bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
  • Interfere with performance or prevent access by other visitors
  • Attempt to enter systems or areas without authorization
  • Use information to stalk, threaten, or harass another person
  • Rely on the content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Violate any applicable local, state, or federal law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool must not be used to stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct is prohibited and may also violate the law. The warning is especially important for the New Jersey Sex Offender Internet Registry. Registry information supports public-safety awareness, not vigilantism, blacklisting, or discriminatory decisions, and misuse directed at a listed person may carry criminal consequences.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Cape May County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It does not prepare credit reports, background checks, or any other consumer report. The website and its advertising partners do not provide services intended to assess job candidates, rental applicants, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. You must not use information from these pages or a linked tool to:

  • Set an insurance premium or assess creditworthiness
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government program
  • Carry out any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

When a regulated background check is required, use the proper official process or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The material is not legal advice. General information about Cape May County records cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement rule applies to an individual matter. Consult a lawyer licensed in New Jersey for legal guidance.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are supplied "as is." No promise is made that:

  • A partner search result will be complete or correct
  • The website will operate continuously
  • Pages will be free of bugs, errors, or security weaknesses
  • Published information will always be accurate, complete, and current

Criminal-record status changes as charges are filed, resolved, expunged, or otherwise restricted. Gaps and delays are possible. Nothing published here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, or other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to official offices, court portals, state agencies, legal-aid resources, and outside search services. Following a link takes the visitor to a service outside our control. We are not responsible for its availability, content, prices, or data practices. Review the destination’s terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Cape May County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of the website, including reliance on material found here or through an outside service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

New Jersey law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with use of the website must be brought in a court located in New Jersey.

12. Changes to These Terms

These conditions may be revised at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is 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 one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in force. The affected term will be modified only to the extent required to make it enforceable.
