Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently of courts and government offices. It does not keep official court records, obtain dockets for users, modify hearing dates, or file documents.

Its role is to identify the Franklin County court or clerk that maintains a record, explain the relevant Tennessee search route, and provide access to optional outside research tools.

2. Informational Use Only

Content is supplied only as general information about Franklin County dockets and case records. Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 34 governs public access to court records, subject to its exceptions and reasonable restrictions; the Tennessee Public Records Act, including Tennessee Code Annotated section 10-7-503, applies to qualifying government records. Neither authority makes this private site's content an official record. It does not replace an official docket, a court order, or an attorney's advice. Confirm material facts with the court or clerk responsible for the case.

3. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

• Interfere with site availability or another visitor's access
• Use bots, scraping software, or other automated collection methods
• Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
• Use site information for lending, housing, employment, or insurance decisions
• Threaten, stalk, or harass a person using information found here
• Violate federal, Tennessee, or local law

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 and this site do not offer services designed to evaluate applicants, tenants, insurance risks, or creditworthiness. Information from this site 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

Obtain any screening report needed for a regulated decision from a provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The site does not give legal advice or interpret how a charge, order, deadline, or case affects a particular person. Consult a Tennessee-licensed attorney for that guidance.

6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed

All material is offered "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

Filings, settings, continuances, amendments, dismissals, and sealing decisions can change a docket. Information here may therefore lag behind the official record. Treat no page as a statement by a court or clerk, and verify a date or entry with the record's custodian before acting.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

External links include clerk and court websites, Tennessee search systems, legal-aid organizations, and commercial search providers. We do not control an outside site's content, availability, fees, or data practices. Review its terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Franklin County Court Docket or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to reproduce, distribute, alter, or create derivative material from that content.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for harm arising from use of the site, a linked service, or a decision based on information obtained through either.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, demands, or proceedings resulting from your site use or violation of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.

11. Governing Law

Tennessee law governs these terms. Any dispute concerning use of the website must be brought in a court located in Tennessee.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revision becomes effective when it is posted here.
