BackgroundChecksWiki (the “Wiki”) is an online open-content collaborative knowledgebase, that is, a voluntary association of individuals and groups working to develop a common resource to the benefit of anyone involved in background checks and making the world a safer and fairer place by doing these professionally. The structure of the project allows anyone with an internet connection to alter its content. Please be advised that nothing found here has necessarily been reviewed by people with the expertise required to provide you with complete, accurate or reliable information.
That is not to say that you will not find valuable and accurate information in the Wiki; most of the time you will. However, Q2 Private Limited (“Q2”), which is the company that operates the Wiki, cannot guarantee the validity of the information found here. The content of any given record may recently have been changed, vandalized or altered by someone by error or deliberate intent. Note that most other wikis and public reference works also have similar disclaimers.
Our active community of editors uses tools to review Recent Changes, Newpages and Multiple Edits to monitor new and changing content. However, the Wiki is not uniformly peer reviewed; while readers may correct errors or engage in casual peer review, they have no legal duty to do so and thus all information read here is without any implied warranty of fitness for any purpose or use whatsoever. Even articles that have been vetted by informal peer review or featured article processes may later have been edited inappropriately, inaccurately or erroneously, just before you view them.
None of the contributors, sponsors, administrators, or anyone else connected with Q2 or Wiki in any way whatsoever can be responsible for any inaccurate or libelous information or for your use of the information available, contained in or linked from the Wiki. Please refer to the section entitled “No Formal Review” of the Terms of Use for more information.
Wiki contains material which may portray an identifiable person who is alive or deceased recently. The use of images of living or recently deceased individuals is, in some jurisdictions, restricted by laws pertaining to personality rights, independent from their copyright status. Before using these types of content, please ensure that you have the right to use it under the laws which apply in the circumstances of your intended use. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you do not infringe someone else’s personality rights. For more information on other proprietary rights, please refer to the section entitled “Intellectual Property” of the Terms of Use for further details.
Publication of information found in Wiki may be in violation of the laws of the country or jurisdiction from where you are viewing this information. The Wiki database is stored on a server in the State of Missouri in the United States of America, and is maintained in reference to the protections afforded under local and federal law. Laws in your country or jurisdiction may not protect or allow the same kinds of speech, data collection or distribution. Wiki does not encourage the violation of any laws; and cannot be responsible for any violations of such laws, should you link to this domain or use, reproduce, or republish the information contained herein.
If you need specific advice on background checks please seek a professional in your jurisdiction who is licensed or knowledgeable in that area. If you need specific advice in other industries (for example, medical, legal, financial, or risk management) please also seek a professional in your jurisdiction who is licensed or knowledgeable in that area.
