NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provide a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify criminal-record resources in Horry County and South Carolina. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, independent of all government offices. It does not store or issue official records, conduct official checks, or file documents for a user.
Its content points toward Horry County Police, the Sheriff, the courts, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division repository, and the South Carolina Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to separately operated research tools.
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
Information found here or through a linked tool must not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate. Such conduct may be criminal. South Carolina restricts misuse of South Carolina Sex Offender Registry data. Registry information exists for public safety and community awareness, never vigilantism 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
A check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come through a lawful official process or an FCRA-compliant provider, not this website.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is not legal advice. General descriptions of Horry County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule applies to a specific case. Seek a licensed South Carolina attorney for that analysis.
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
Charges, dispositions, restrictions, and expungements change official records over time. Gaps and delays are unavoidable, so no content here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, police agency, or state office.
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
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Horry County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative work requires prior written permission.
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
South Carolina law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the site must be brought in a court located in South Carolina. Official-record access remains subject to the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act and applicable dissemination limits.
12. Changes to These Terms
Revised terms take effect when the updated text is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or blocked at any time, with or without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue. The affected language will be adjusted only to the extent needed for enforcement.
