NO FCRA USE. This privately run website is not affiliated with a court or government agency and is not a consumer reporting agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
1. What This Website Is
Fayette County Court Docket is an independent informational resource. It points to WVPASS, MCRSearch, the Circuit Clerk, Magistrate Clerk, municipal offices, and other sources that may hold West Virginia court information. It does not operate those systems or maintain the originating records.
2. Informational Use Only
Content supplies general orientation and is not an official docket, court order, certified record, or substitute for advice from a qualified professional. A portal entry may be incomplete or change after publication. Confirm any fact that affects a case, filing, payment, or appearance directly with the responsible court or clerk.
3. Rules for Using This Site
Users may browse for lawful personal, civic, historical, or case-related research. Users may not interfere with operation, bypass security, submit malicious code, scrape in a way that burdens systems, impersonate another person, violate a court restriction, or use information to harass, threaten, or commit fraud. Automated or unlawful access may be blocked.
4. Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Fayette County Court Docket does not prepare consumer reports and must not be used to make decisions about credit, employment, housing or tenancy, insurance, or another FCRA-regulated matter. Public availability of a docket does not authorize such use. Users are responsible for knowing and following every law that applies to their purpose.
5. No Legal Advice
No page creates an attorney-client relationship or advises how a charge, order, deadline, appeal, or court rule applies to a particular person. Consult a licensed West Virginia attorney for legal advice. Contact the named court immediately when a hearing or filing deadline may be involved.
6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
Reasonable care may be used in preparing content, but completeness, accuracy, timeliness, and availability are not warranted. Fayette County and state sources can conflict, as current official Circuit Clerk listings do. Courts may reset dates, seal entries, correct data, or change fees and procedures without notice. The originating record controls.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
External courts, agencies, portals, advertisers, and search providers have their own terms, privacy rules, pricing, and service limits. A link does not imply endorsement or control. Use of an outside service is a separate transaction between the user and that provider. This site is not responsible for outside content or availability.
8. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the site's original text, graphics, logo, and code are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Limited personal browsing is allowed. Republishing, distributing, modifying, or commercially exploiting protected site content requires prior written permission. Public records linked from government sources remain subject to their own rules.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not liable for loss arising from use, inability to use, reliance on content, a missed date, an outside service, or an incomplete search result. The service is provided as available without warranties of merchantability, fitness, noninfringement, or uninterrupted operation.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to defend and hold the operator and its service partners harmless from claims, costs, and losses arising from that user's unlawful conduct, breach of these terms, misuse of information, or violation of another person's rights, to the extent permitted by law.
11. Governing Law
West Virginia law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in West Virginia, except where controlling law requires a different forum. The West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W.Va. Code ยง29B-1-3, concerns government records and does not convert this private site into a public body. West Virginia Trial Court Rules 10.04 and 15A.26 govern public access to available court records, including nonsealed electronic docket materials, through the proper court custodian.
12. Changes to These Terms
Terms may be revised when services, providers, or legal duties change. The posted version applies from its effective date. Continued use after an update signals acceptance. If one provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Failure to enforce one term is not a waiver of it.
