Terms & Conditions

By using DeKalb County Busted Mugshots, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not accept them, do not use the service. These terms concern a private reference resource and do not alter an official record or government procedure.

This is a privately owned resource with no affiliation to a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this service nor its advertising partners provides a consumer report or service for a purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Service

The service provides general reference material about DeKalb County records paths and links to official and outside resources. It does not store official custody files, confirm a release, file a document, or act for a public custodian. An outside search result is controlled by the provider that returns it.


Responsible Use

You may use the service only for lawful, respectful purposes. You agree not to harass, stalk, threaten, impersonate, mislead, interfere with another visitor, attempt unauthorized access, use automated collection tools, or disrupt the service. You also agree not to use any material for a decision about employment, housing, credit, insurance, licensing, a government benefit, or another purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.


FCRA Limitation

DeKalb County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background reports, consumer reports, credit reports, or screening services, and neither do its advertising partners through this site. You must not use information from this service or a linked tool for hiring or firing, tenant selection, creditworthiness, insurance pricing, permit eligibility, or any other FCRA-regulated use.


Links and Outside Providers

Links may lead to jail, sheriff, court, corrections, federal, legal-aid, or search-provider pages. Those organizations run their own services and set their own terms, data practices, availability, and charges. A link is not an endorsement, a guarantee of access, or a statement that an outside result is current or complete.


No Warranties

The service is provided as is and as available. We do not promise accuracy, completeness, currency, uninterrupted availability, security, error-free operation, or that a partner search will return all relevant records. Custody and court data can change quickly, and only the originating office can provide its official position.


Liability and Indemnity

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages arising from access to or use of the service, a linked site, or unavailable information. You agree to defend and hold the service and its operators harmless from claims, losses, or reasonable legal costs arising from your misuse of the service or violation of these terms.


Ownership and Access

The service’s text, design, graphics, logos, and code belong to DeKalb County Busted Mugshots or its content partners and may not be copied, distributed, or modified without permission. Access may be restricted or ended at any time, with or without notice, when needed to protect the service or enforce these terms.


Missouri Law and Severability

These terms are governed by the laws of Missouri, and disputes must be brought in courts within Missouri when permitted by law. If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective and the affected provision will be adjusted only as much as necessary.


Changes and Questions

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version takes effect when posted. Questions about these terms may be sent through Contact Us.
