Terms of Service

Nature of the Service

DeKalb County Recent Arrests is a private reference with no government ties. It stores no official records and cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a request or court document for a visitor.

Its pages point to DeKalb County, DDCRJ, Missouri, court, and federal resources and may connect users with outside research tools. The office or provider operating each destination remains responsible for its own service.

Acceptable Use Rules

You agree to use the service lawfully and without harming others. You must not:

• Violate any applicable law
• Stalk, threaten, harass, or intimidate another person
• Use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another regulated eligibility decision
• Attempt access to accounts, systems, or data without authorization
• Operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools
• Disrupt or impair access for other visitors

No Consumer Reports

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We do not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither do our advertising partners through this site. You agree not to use any information for:

• A decision to hire, retain, promote, or dismiss a worker
• Tenant selection or any housing decision
• Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
• A license, permit, benefit, or government-program eligibility decision
• Any other purpose governed by the FCRA

External Resources

Links may point to jail rosters, booking feeds, police or sheriff pages, corrections agencies, courts, legal assistance, government portals, and outside search services. We do not control their content, security, data practices, prices, or uptime. Review the destination's own terms and policies.

Service Provided As Is

The site and its content are supplied "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we give no warranty concerning:

• Accuracy, completeness, or currentness
• Continuous or uninterrupted operation
• Freedom from errors, defects, or security weaknesses
• The scope or quality of a partner's search results

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

Limits of Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, the site, its owners, and its contributors are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from access, inability to access, reliance on content, or use of an outside link or service.

Your Indemnity Obligation

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

Content Ownership

Unless stated otherwise, site text, original graphics, logos, design elements, and code belong to DeKalb County Recent Arrests or its content partners. You may not reproduce, distribute, republish, modify, or commercially exploit that material without written permission.

Revisions to These Terms

We may change these terms at any time. Revised terms become effective when posted, and continued use after posting means that you accept the revised version.

Suspension of Access

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice, including when use threatens the service or violates these terms.

Missouri Governing Law

Missouri law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Missouri.

Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms remain effective. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.
