Terms & Conditions

Using Washington County Busted Mugshots means accepting these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

This privately owned site is not affiliated with any government body, sheriff, jail, police department, court, or corrections agency. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers FCRA-covered services.


Nature of the Site

This private reference resource stores no official records and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or file documents. It points to Washington County and Iowa jail, court, records, and corrections resources and may link to outside research tools.


Acceptable Use

  • Do not violate any law.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or harm anyone.
  • Do not use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or eligibility decisions.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access.
  • Do not use bots or scrapers.
  • Do not disrupt the site or another visitor's access.

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It and its advertising partners provide no background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. Content must not be used for employment action, tenant or housing screening, credit or insurance decisions, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.


Third-Party Links

Links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, government, legal-aid, news, or search services are not endorsements. We do not control outside content, privacy practices, data handling, terms, or uptime.


Service Provided As Is

The site and content are provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranty of accuracy, completeness, currency, uninterrupted access, freedom from errors or security flaws, or comprehensive partner results. Custody and public records change quickly, and nothing here is an official government statement.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site, its owners, and contributors are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive losses arising from use, inability to use, or reliance on this site or an outside link.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, and contributors from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use or breach of these terms.


Intellectual Property

Unless stated otherwise, site text, graphics, logos, design, and code belong to Washington County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, republished, or modified without written permission.


Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. New terms take effect when posted.


Ending Site Access

We may suspend, limit, or revoke access at any time, for any reason, without notice.


Iowa Law Controls

Iowa law governs these terms. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Iowa.


Severability

If one provision is invalid or unenforceable, the rest remain effective. The affected provision will be adjusted only as needed.
