Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site has no government affiliation. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, performs official checks, or submits documents for a visitor.

Instead, it identifies the custodians serving Kalawao County, including the acting law-enforcement agency, Hawaii's Second Circuit courts, HCJDC, DCR, and the Hawaii Covered Offender Registry. Links to optional outside search services may also appear.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use of the website is conditioned on an agreement not to:

• 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

No information obtained here or through a linked tool may be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against another person. Such conduct can be criminal. The restriction is especially important for Hawaii Covered Offender Registry information. Registry data supports lawful public-safety awareness and never authorizes vigilantism, employment blacklisting, housing discrimination, or abuse directed at a listed person.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produces no consumer report, credit report, or background check. Its advertising partners likewise do not offer tools intended to evaluate job candidates, rental applicants, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. Information from this website or 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 lawful check for a regulated purpose must be obtained from an FCRA-compliant screening provider or through the proper official process at the Hawaii Department of the Attorney General, Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center (HCJDC).

5. No Legal Advice

The content provides general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Hawaii attorney can assess how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement rule applies to an individual matter.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are supplied "as is," without a 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, dismissals, sealing orders, and expungements can alter records after publication, making omissions or delay unavoidable. No content here is an official statement from a court, acting law-enforcement office, or other agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to acting law-enforcement offices, courts, state agencies, legal-aid groups, and independent search providers. Those destinations are beyond our control. We accept no responsibility for their content, privacy practices, charges, or availability, and users should examine the destination's own terms.

8. Intellectual Property

Kalawao County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Prior written permission is required to reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for loss or damage arising from website use, including reliance on information supplied here or by a linked service.

10. Indemnification

Users agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, actions, or demands caused by their use of the website or violation of these terms, including associated costs and legal fees.

11. Governing Law

Hawaii law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from website use must be brought before a court located in the State of Hawaii.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time, with a new version becoming effective upon publication on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in force. The affected language will be modified only to the minimum extent needed for enforceability.
