Terms of Use

These terms govern use of Chatham County Court Docket. By visiting, reading, or using a tool displayed on this resource, you accept these conditions. If you do not agree with them, do not continue to use the resource or its search features.

NO FCRA USE. This is a private resource with no affiliation to any government agency or court. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Information here or through an advertising partner may not be used for credit decisions, employment screening, tenant screening, insurance eligibility, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose. The resource is not a private investigation service and does not provide consumer reports.

1. What This Website Is

Chatham County Court Docket is a private reference resource. It is not operated by a court, clerk, or government office. It does not keep official dockets or case files and cannot retrieve a record, change a hearing date, or file a document for a visitor.

Its purpose is to identify the official routes for Chatham County court information: the Chatham County Clerk of Superior Court, the North Carolina Superior Court and District Court divisions, official calendars, and the statewide eCourts Portal. Third-party tools may also be displayed for general research.

2. Informational Use Only

All material is general information. It is not a substitute for the official court docket, a court order, a certified record, or legal advice. North Carolina court files, dockets, and indexes are maintained by clerks under G.S. 7A-109, subject to applicable access limits. Confirm any information that matters with the Clerk or court holding the case.

3. Rules for Using This Site

By using this resource, you agree not to:

  • Violate federal, North Carolina, or local law.
  • Use information to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten another person.
  • Use content from this resource for credit, employment, housing, tenant, or insurance determinations.
  • Attempt to enter systems or data that are not publicly available to you.
  • Run bots, scrapers, or other automated tools against the resource.
  • Interfere with the resource or prevent others from using it.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not create background reports, credit reports, or consumer reports. Neither this resource nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for employment screening, rental screening, insurance underwriting, or creditworthiness decisions. You agree not to use information from this resource or a linked tool to:

  • Make a hiring, firing, or employment decision.
  • Evaluate a rental or housing application.
  • Set insurance eligibility, pricing, or terms.
  • Determine credit eligibility or credit terms.
  • Make any other decision regulated by the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Nothing here is legal advice. The resource may describe public Chatham County docket and record routes, but it cannot advise on a charge, claim, filing, deadline, hearing, order, or case outcome. Obtain advice from a licensed North Carolina attorney for a legal question.

6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed

We do not promise that every page, link, phone number, schedule, or search result will be complete, accurate, current, secure, or continuously available. Court records can change as cases are filed, settings move, entries are amended, matters are restricted, or dispositions are entered.

A Portal result or calendar entry is not an official certified record. The current Clerk-held file and the court’s own schedule control. Verify a docket entry, court date, fee, or record status directly with the custodian before relying on it.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

This resource links to court pages, official portals, clerk resources, and outside search services. A link opens a service we do not operate. We are not responsible for another site’s content, data practices, charges, availability, or terms. Review its own terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

The text, graphics, logos, and code on this resource belong to Chatham County Court Docket or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or create derivative work from that material without written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of this resource, information shown here, or an external service reached through a link.

10. Indemnification

You agree to protect and hold us harmless from a claim, action, demand, loss, or expense arising from your use of this resource or a violation of these terms, including reasonable legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

North Carolina law governs these terms. Any dispute related to use of this resource must be filed in a court located within North Carolina, subject to applicable law and jurisdiction rules.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may change these terms at any time. Revised terms take effect when they are posted to this page.
