Terms & Conditions

These terms govern your use of Newaygo County Recent Arrests. By accessing the site, you agree to follow them. If you do not accept these conditions, do not use the website.

This is a privately owned reference site with no affiliation to Newaygo County, a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers credit, employment, insurance, housing-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. The site helps readers locate Michigan jail and inmate-record resources; it is neither a private-investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.


Purpose and Independence

The website provides independently organized reference material and does not store official government records. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or submit a government filing for a user.

Pages point to Newaygo County jail, MI-VINE, court, Michigan Department of Corrections, federal, and records-request resources. Some tools are operated by outside research providers.


Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not:

  • use the site while violating any law;
  • use information to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person;
  • base hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another regulated decision on site content;
  • attempt access to accounts, systems, or data without authorization;
  • operate bots, scrapers, or automated extraction tools against the site; or
  • interfere with the site's availability or another visitor's use.

FCRA Use Is Prohibited

This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It supplies no background check, credit report, or consumer report, and neither the site nor its advertising partners provides screening services. You agree not to use its content or linked search results for:

  • hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment action;
  • tenant selection or housing eligibility;
  • creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing;
  • licenses, permits, or government-program eligibility; or
  • any other decision regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Websites

Links may lead to jail and sheriff pages, MI-VINE, booking information, corrections systems, government portals, legal-aid resources, or independent search services. We do not control their content, privacy practices, data handling, terms, or uptime. A link is not an endorsement. Review the destination's own policies before using it.


Service Provided As Is

The site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant:

  • that information is accurate, complete, or current;
  • continuous or uninterrupted access;
  • freedom from errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities; or
  • complete or accurate results from a partner search service.

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement from the Newaygo County Sheriff's Office, a court, Michigan Department of Corrections, or another government agency.


Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site, its operators, and content partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from access to, reliance on, inability to use, or misuse of the site or a linked service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

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


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless otherwise identified, the site's original text, graphics, logos, design, and code belong to Newaygo County Recent Arrests or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, publish, or modify protected material without prior written permission. Government materials remain subject to their own legal status and source terms.


Revisions to These Terms

We may change these terms at any time. Revised terms take effect when they are posted on this page, and continued use after posting constitutes acceptance.


Suspension or Termination

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


Michigan Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court with jurisdiction in Michigan. References to public-record access concern the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq., subject to its exemptions and the responsible agency's procedures.


Severability

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