Legal terms for using sexoffenders.co.uk

1. About this website

sexoffenders.co.uk provides access to information about convicted sex offenders sourced from publicly available publications, including courts, police statements, and mainstream media reporting. Where available, we disclose the source for each offender. This service is provided for legitimate public interest and community safety purposes. The website is not an official government register and is not affiliated with any police force or public authority.

2. No legal advice; no warranties

Content is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any warranties, guarantees, or representations of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the information is complete, accurate, up to date, or free from error. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice. You must obtain professional advice before relying on any information.

Because we rely on third‑party publications, errors can occur (including misidentification, outdated information, or incomplete context). You should verify information against the original source(s) and official records where available.

3. Responsible use

You must not use information from this website to harass, threaten, intimidate, discriminate against, or otherwise harm any person. Unlawful misuse may result in civil or criminal liability. You agree to use the website only for lawful purposes consistent with the public interest.

4. Reporting concerns

If you believe any information is inaccurate, unlawfully published, subject to reporting restrictions, involves a child, identifies or enables identification of a victim, or should be removed for legal reasons, contact [email protected] with the relevant URL(s) and details.

Urgent procedure: where we receive a credible report of a potential legal or safeguarding issue (including reporting restrictions/children), we will, where appropriate, restrict access to or remove the content while we investigate, and we will act urgently.

5. Intellectual property

Text, design, and code on this website are protected by intellectual property rights. Third‑party content (including images) remains the property of its respective owners. Where third‑party content is used, attribution is provided to the source where available. You must not reproduce or redistribute content except to the extent permitted by law.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for any loss, damage, costs, or expenses (including indirect or consequential loss) arising from or in connection with your use of the website or reliance on its content. This does not exclude liability that cannot be excluded by law.

7. User submissions

Any information you submit (including corrections or requests) must be lawful, accurate to the best of your knowledge, and must not infringe the rights of others. We reserve the right to refuse, remove, or edit submissions at our discretion.

8. Service access

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the website. We may suspend, withdraw, or change all or any part of the website without notice. We are not liable for any unavailability.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time by publishing a new version on the website. Continued use of the website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. You agree that the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or the website.

Important notice — this is not an official register

sexoffenders.co.uk is an independent, unofficial publication. We are not affiliated with, nor endorsed by, any government body, police force, or official sex offenders register. We research, write about, and republish information drawn from cases already reported in the media, published in court records, or released by police forces. We disclose our source for each entry where available.

Whilst we take care to be accurate, we cannot guarantee the completeness, currency, or ongoing accuracy of any information. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice. Users must not use information from this site to harass, intimidate, threaten, or otherwise harm any individual. Any such conduct may be unlawful.

If you believe any information is inaccurate, out of date, or requires removal for legal reasons (including reporting restrictions or matters involving a child), please use the correction form on the relevant offender page, or refer to our Privacy Policy for how to contact us. We will review all reports promptly.
