Terms of Use

Using Kent County Recent Arrests means that you agree to these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

This privately owned reference site is not affiliated with any government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. We help readers locate Kent County and Michigan records resources, but are neither a private-investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Website

We do not store official records, confirm custody, release anyone, or file documents. The site points to resources such as the Kent County Web Jail Viewer, Sheriff Records, courts, MDOC OTIS, and independent research tools.


Permitted Use

  • Obey all applicable laws.
  • Do not stalk, threaten, or harass anyone.
  • Do not use site information for employment, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access.
  • Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools.
  • Do not interfere with other visitors’ use of the site.

No Consumer Reports or Screening

This site and its advertising partners do not provide background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports and are not consumer reporting agencies under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. You agree not to use information for hiring or firing, tenant screening, creditworthiness, insurance rates, licensing or government-program eligibility, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.


Services Operated by Others

Links to jail systems, booking resources, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal-aid resources, and outside search services are provided for convenience, not endorsement. We do not control their content, privacy practices, or uptime. Review each operator’s terms.


Provided As Is

The site is provided “as is.” We do not warrant accuracy, completeness, currency, uninterrupted operation, freedom from errors or security weaknesses, or comprehensive partner results. Custody and public records change often, and nothing here is an official government statement.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its operators are not liable for loss or damages arising from access to or use of the site.


Your Responsibility for Claims

You agree to defend and hold the site harmless from claims, costs, and reasonable legal fees resulting from your use of the site or violation of these terms.


Ownership

Site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Kent County Recent Arrests or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, or modified without written permission.


Revisions

We may revise these terms at any time. Updated terms apply when they are posted.


Access Restrictions

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


Michigan Law

Michigan law governs these terms, including applicable consumer-protection requirements. Any dispute must be filed in a court within Michigan.


Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid, the remaining provisions continue in effect, and the affected provision is adjusted only as much as necessary.
