Terms & Conditions

Purpose and Independence

This is an independent reference website. It does not maintain official arrest, booking, jail, court, or corrections records. It cannot confirm custody, change a record, arrange a release, accept filings, or act for a government office.

The site directs readers toward official resources and may connect visitors with independent research tools. A link does not create an agency relationship or government endorsement.

Acceptable Use

You must use this site responsibly and lawfully. You may not:

• violate an applicable law;
• use information to stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass;
• base employment, housing, lending, credit, or insurance decisions on site content;
• attempt unauthorized access to an account, server, or system;
• operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools; or
• disrupt site operation or another visitor's access.

FCRA-Prohibited Uses

Craven County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not prepare background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Its advertising partners do not provide screening services through this site. You agree not to use site content or linked results for:

• hiring, promotion, discipline, or termination;
• tenant selection, leases, or housing;
• creditworthiness, lending, insurance rates, or eligibility;
• professional licensing, permits, or government benefits; or
• any other FCRA-regulated purpose.

Resources Operated by Others

Links may lead to jail rosters, booking pages, sheriff or corrections websites, court portals, legal-aid information, federal locators, and third-party search services. Those resources set their own terms, privacy practices, prices, and schedules. We do not control their content, data handling, accuracy, or availability. Review an outside provider's policies before submitting information.

Service Provided As Is

The website and content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not warrant that:

• information will be accurate, complete, or current;
• the site will remain uninterrupted;
• the website will be free of errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities; or
• a partner or outside tool will return complete results.

Custody, booking information, court schedules, and public records change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement by a sheriff, court, jail, or agency. Confirm important information at its originating source.

Liability Is Limited

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Craven County Recent Arrests and its owners, operators, contributors, and providers will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from access to, reliance on, inability to use, or misuse of this site or a linked resource.

Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Craven County Recent Arrests and its owners, operators, contributors, and providers from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use, violation of these terms, or infringement of another person's rights.

Ownership of Site Materials

Unless identified otherwise, original text, graphics, logos, design elements, and code belong to Craven County Recent Arrests or its content and technology partners. You may not reproduce, distribute, publish, modify, or commercially exploit them without written permission. Government records and third-party materials remain subject to their owners' rights.

Updates to These Conditions

We may revise these terms at any time. Revised provisions take effect when posted. Continued use after publication constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Access May Be Revoked

We may suspend, restrict, or block access to all or part of the site at any time, for any reason, without advance notice, including to address misuse, security concerns, automated traffic, or violations.

North Carolina Law Applies

These terms are governed by North Carolina law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute concerning this website or these terms must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in North Carolina.

If One Provision Is Invalid

If a court finds a provision invalid or unenforceable, it will be narrowed or adjusted only as necessary. Every remaining provision will continue in full force.
