Terms for Site Use

Using Washington County Recent Arrests means accepting these terms. Anyone who does not agree with them should stop using the site.

This privately owned site has no affiliation with a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. It and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or other FCRA-covered decisions. The pages identify Washington County and Missouri custody-record resources. They are not a private-investigation service or consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Service

The site is a private reference with no government ties. It stores no official record and cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a document.

Its pages point toward Washington County arrest and jail sources, Missouri systems, and outside research tools that operate under their own terms.


Acceptable Use Rules

  • Do not violate any law while using the service.
  • Do not stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten another person.
  • Do not use content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another eligibility decision.
  • Do not seek access to systems or data without authorization.
  • Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools.
  • Do not interfere with access for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

Washington County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Neither the site nor its advertising partners supplies background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. Visitors agree not to use any information for:

  • hiring, discipline, or termination decisions;
  • tenant selection or housing screening;
  • creditworthiness or insurance pricing;
  • licensing, permit, or government-benefit eligibility; or
  • any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Terms on Linked Sites

Links may lead to sheriff, court, jail, corrections, government, legal-aid, news, or outside search services. Their operators control their content, data handling, and availability. Review the destination's own terms before using it; a link is not an endorsement.


Service Provided As Is

All content and functions are provided "as is" without a warranty of:

  • accuracy, completeness, or currency;
  • continuous and uninterrupted operation;
  • freedom from errors, defects, or security flaws; or
  • complete results from a search partner.

Custody status and public records can change at any time. Nothing here is an official statement from a sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or other agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access to or use of the service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the service or violation of these terms.


Ownership of Site Material

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Washington County Recent Arrests or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, or modified without written permission except where law permits.


Future Term Changes

These terms may be revised at any time. A new version takes effect when it is posted on this page.


Ending or Limiting Access

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


Missouri Governing Law

Missouri law governs these terms. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction within Missouri.


If One Term Fails

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force. The affected part will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it valid.
