Terms & Conditions

Purpose and Independence

This is a private reference site with no authority to act for Scott County, the Scott County Sheriff's Office, Scott County Jail, the Iowa Department of Corrections, or any other public office. It does not store official government records. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, order a release, change a booking record, or submit court or agency documents for a visitor.

Its pages point readers toward publicly available inmate, jail, warrant, news, and court-record resources relevant to Scott County. Some searches may connect to third-party research providers. Those directions and connections do not make the site, or any partner, part of a government agency.

Acceptable Use Rules

Access is permitted only when it respects the law, other people, and the operation of the site. You agree that you will:

• Not use the site while committing or helping to commit an unlawful act.
• Not use information to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm another person.
• Not rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, credit, or insurance decisions.
• Not try to enter accounts, servers, data, or restricted areas without authorization.
• Not operate bots, crawlers, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the site.
• Not overload, damage, disable, or interfere with access for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

Scott County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not create or provide background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Its advertising and search partners do not offer screening services through this site. By using the site, you agree not to use its content or linked search results for any FCRA-covered purpose, including:

• Decisions about hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment action.
• Tenant selection, leases, housing access, or residential screening.
• Creditworthiness, lending terms, or insurance rates and eligibility.
• Licenses, permits, benefits, or government-program eligibility when consumer-report rules apply.
• Any other decision regulated by the FCRA or a similar consumer-reporting law.

Links Beyond the Site

Pages may link to the Scott County Jail roster, booking feeds, sheriff and corrections resources, court or government portals, legal-aid information, news outlets, and outside search services. These destinations control their own content, privacy practices, data handling, availability, and terms. Scott County Busted Mugshots does not operate them, promise that they will remain online, or endorse every statement they contain. Review the destination's current terms before using it.

Services Provided As Is

The site and all information available through it are supplied “as is” and “as available,” without express or implied warranties. In particular, no promise is made about:

• The accuracy, completeness, context, or current status of any information.
• Continuous, timely, or uninterrupted access to the site or an outside resource.
• Freedom from mistakes, software bugs, harmful code, or security weaknesses.
• The scope, depth, or completeness of results returned by a search partner.

Custody information, warrant entries, booking data, news reports, and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Scott County Sheriff's Office, Scott County Jail, the Iowa Department of Corrections, or another government agency. Verify time-sensitive facts with the office that created the record.

Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Scott County Busted Mugshots and its owners, operators, contributors, and partners will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, reliance on, inability to use, or other use of the site, its information, partner tools, or outbound links.

Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Scott County Busted Mugshots and its owners, operators, contributors, and partners from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your use of the site, your misuse of information, or your violation of these terms.

Ownership of Site Materials

The original text, graphics, logos, page design, and code presented by Scott County Busted Mugshots belong to the site or its content partners and are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may not copy, republish, distribute, sell, modify, or create derivative works from those materials without prior written permission, except where law expressly permits the use.

Updates to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on the site. Continued use after publication of a change means that you accept the version then in effect.

Access May Be Revoked

Scott County Busted Mugshots may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to any part of the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice. That right applies whether or not the restriction follows a suspected violation of these terms.

Iowa Law Controls

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to rules that would select another jurisdiction's law. Any dispute concerning the site or these terms must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Iowa.

If One Term Is Invalid

If a court finds any provision invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable or removed when adjustment is not possible. Every remaining provision will continue in full effect.

Questions About These Terms

Questions about these conditions may be sent through the Contact Us page. That contact route reaches the private site, not the Scott County Sheriff's Office, Scott County Jail, or a court.
