Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of ArrestVault. By using the site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

Informational use only — no FCRA-regulated decisions

ArrestVault is an informational directory of publicly available arrest record and inmate lookup resources. We are not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. The information available through ArrestVault, including any free background check report, may not be used to determine an individual's eligibility for: (a) credit or insurance for personal, family, or household purposes; (b) employment; (c) housing; (d) any other purpose covered by the FCRA. For FCRA-regulated screening, use a licensed consumer reporting agency.

Not legal advice

Nothing on ArrestVault constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship. Attorneys connected through our intake form are independent practitioners; an attorney-client relationship is formed only when you and a licensed attorney sign a written engagement.

Accuracy

We aggregate publicly available information and pointers to public record systems, but we cannot guarantee accuracy or completeness. Records are maintained by independent county sheriff offices, clerks of court, and state agencies — verify with the source agency before acting on any information.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use ArrestVault to harass, stalk, defame, or harm any individual; to make decisions covered by the FCRA without using a licensed consumer reporting agency; or to violate any applicable law.

Limitation of liability

ArrestVault is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties and shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
