Terms of Service

Nature of This Resource

This is a private reference website with no authority to act for a police department, court, jail, sheriff, or corrections agency. It does not store official records. It cannot confirm that someone is in custody, arrange a release, change a record, submit a court filing, or provide an official agency response.

The site points visitors toward public offices and tools related to Charlevoix County arrest and jail records. It may also connect visitors with independent research services. Those services operate separately and apply their own rules.

Acceptable Use Rules

You may browse this resource only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not harm another person, the site, or its technical systems. By using it, you agree that you will not:

• Break any applicable law through use of the site.
• Use information to stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass anyone.
• Base employment, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content.
• Try to enter accounts, servers, or data without authorization.
• Run bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools against the site.
• Interfere with access, performance, or service for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

Charlevoix County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. Its advertising partners do not provide those services through this site. You agree not to use information found here for:

• Decisions to hire, fire, promote, or retain a worker.
• Tenant selection or any other housing decision.
• Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing.
• Licensing, permits, or eligibility for a government program.
• Any additional purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Independent Websites and Services

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, custody tools, government portals, legal-aid resources, court systems, or independent search services. We do not operate those destinations and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, data handling, pricing, availability, or security. A link is not an endorsement. Review the destination's own terms before using it or submitting information.

Service Provided As Is

The website, its text, its links, and any available feature are supplied “as is” and “as available.” No promise or warranty is made that:

• Information will always be accurate, complete, or current.
• The site will operate without interruption.
• Every defect, bug, or security weakness will be absent.
• An outside search service will return full or useful results.

Custody and public-record information can change quickly. Nothing displayed here is an official statement from the Charlevoix County Sheriff, a court, a city police department, or another government office. Verify facts at their originating source.

Limits on Liability

To the broadest extent allowed by law, Charlevoix County Recent Arrests and its owners, operators, and partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use this site or an outside service.

Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, operators, and partners from claims, losses, liabilities, expenses, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the site, your misuse of information, or your violation of these terms.

Ownership of Site Materials

Unless a source notice states otherwise, the site's original text, graphics, logos, design elements, and code belong to Charlevoix County Recent Arrests or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, republish, sell, or modify those materials without prior written permission.

Updates to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A new version becomes effective when it is posted here. Continued use after publication of a revision means that you accept the updated terms.

Suspension of Access

We may restrict, suspend, or end access to all or part of the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

Michigan Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute concerning these terms must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Michigan.

If One Term Is Invalid

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
