Terms & Conditions

Use of Ontonagon County Recent Arrests means acceptance of these terms. If you do not agree with them, do not use the site or its linked search tools.

This is a privately owned reference site with no government, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections affiliation. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides a consumer report or an FCRA-covered service. The material cannot be used for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant-screening decisions.


The Nature of This Website

This site offers general directions to Ontonagon County and Michigan jail, custody, court, and public-record resources. It is not a government office, private investigation firm, or consumer reporting agency. It stores no official records and cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a request on anyone’s behalf.

Some pages connect visitors to outside research tools. Those services operate independently and control their own results, pricing, and terms.


Acceptable Use Rules

Visitors must use the site lawfully and without harming people, systems, or other users.

  • Do not use information to stalk, threaten, harass, or discriminate.
  • Do not base a credit, employment, housing, insurance, or other regulated decision on site content.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access to the site or another system.
  • Do not deploy bots, scrapers, or automated extraction tools.
  • Do not introduce malicious code or interfere with availability.
  • Do not violate any local, state, or federal law.

Fair Credit Reporting Act Limits

Ontonagon County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It offers no background check, credit report, or consumer report, and its partners do not provide screening services through this site. You agree not to use its content for hiring or firing, tenant or housing screening, creditworthiness, insurance pricing, licensing, permit decisions, government-program eligibility, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.


Outside Links and Services

Links may point to sheriff contacts, corrections searches, courts, custody locators, news pages, legal resources, and outside search tools. A link does not amount to endorsement. The destination controls its content, data practices, terms, and availability, and visitors should review those policies before use.


No Warranties

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that information is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that an outside search will be thorough. Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing shown here is an official statement from the Ontonagon County Sheriff’s Department or another government agency.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its operators will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on this site or an outside resource.


Your Responsibility for Claims

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site, violation of these terms, or infringement of another person’s rights.


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless otherwise stated, the text, graphics, logos, design, and code belong to Ontonagon County Recent Arrests or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, republished, or modified without written permission, except as allowed by law.


Updates to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A new version becomes effective when it is posted, and continued use after that point means acceptance of the revised terms.


Suspension of Access

Access may be restricted, suspended, or ended at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Michigan Law Applies

These terms are governed by Michigan law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Michigan.


Severability

If a court finds one part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
