Terms & Conditions

The Site's Limited Role

This is a private reference website, not an official records office. It does not maintain Humboldt County booking files, court records, or custody data. It cannot confirm where someone is held, order a release, post bond, or file a request or court document for a visitor.

The site identifies official Humboldt County jail and arrest resources and may connect visitors with outside research tools. Any response from an official agency or third-party provider comes from that organization, not from this site.

Acceptable Use Rules

You agree to use the site lawfully and without harming other people, the service, or its systems.

• Do not use the site while committing or assisting an unlawful act.
• Do not use any information to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten someone.
• Do not make employment, housing, lending, or insurance decisions from site content.
• Do not try to enter accounts, systems, or data without authorization.
• Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools against the site.
• Do not interfere with access, performance, or use by another visitor.

No Consumer Reports

Humboldt County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not furnish consumer reports, credit reports, background checks, or screening services, and neither do its advertising partners through this site. You agree not to use site or linked information for:

• Hiring, firing, promotion, or any other employment decision.
• Tenant selection, housing eligibility, or lease decisions.
• Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing and eligibility.
• Licensing, permits, or government-benefit eligibility.
• Any other purpose governed by the FCRA.

External Websites and Services

Links may lead to Humboldt County's jail reports, the Sheriff's Records Unit, the Superior Court portal, corrections pages, legal information, news outlets, or outside search services. A link does not mean endorsement. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, data handling, terms, accuracy, or availability. Review the destination's rules before using it.

Service Provided As Is

The website and its content are supplied "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, we make no warranty concerning:

• The accuracy, completeness, or current status of information.
• Continuous or uninterrupted availability.
• The absence of errors, defects, or security weaknesses.
• The scope or quality of results returned by a partner tool.

Custody, charges, release information, and public records can change at any time. Nothing published here is an official statement by the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, HCCF, CDCR, a court, or another government body.

Limits on Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the site and its owners, operators, 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 misuse of the site or linked services.

Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, operators, and partners from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site or your violation of these terms.

Ownership of Site Materials

Unless a separate notice says otherwise, the site's original text, graphics, logos, design elements, and code belong to Humboldt County Busted Mugshots or the applicable content partner. You may not copy, redistribute, publish, or modify those materials without prior written permission.

Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these Terms & Conditions at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here, and continued use after posting means you accept it.

Suspension or Loss of Access

We may suspend, restrict, or end access to all or part of the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

California Law Controls

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in California.

If One Term Is Invalid

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
