Douglas County Terms of Service

By browsing or using Douglas County Busted Mugshots, you agree to these terms. Do not use the site if you do not accept them.

Douglas County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and is not affiliated with Douglas County, a government body, a sheriff, a jail, or a corrections department. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, housing, tenant screening, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.


Nature of the service

This is a private reference site that points visitors toward public Douglas County and Minnesota record sources and optional outside research tools. It does not hold official records, confirm custody, release a person, or file a document with an agency. A public office remains responsible for its own roster, records, and procedures.


Acceptable use

Use the site lawfully and respectfully.

  • Do not stalk, threaten, harass, or impersonate another person.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access to the site or a linked service.
  • Do not use automated collection tools, bots, or scrapers without permission.
  • Do not interfere with site availability or another visitor’s use.
  • Do not use information for a prohibited FCRA-covered decision.

FCRA and consumer-report limits

Douglas County Busted Mugshots and its partners do not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. You agree not to use information from the site for decisions concerning employment or firing, tenant or housing screening, creditworthiness, insurance premiums, licenses, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.


Links and outside services

The site may link to county, court, corrections, legal, and search-provider resources. An outbound link is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside service’s content, data handling, pricing, or uptime, and you should review that service’s terms before using it.


Availability and accuracy

The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not promise complete, current, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or comprehensive information or search results. Custody and public records can change quickly, and nothing here is an official agency statement.


Liability and indemnity

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Douglas County Busted Mugshots is not liable for losses or damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the site. You agree to defend and hold the site and its providers harmless from claims, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site or a breach of these terms.


Ownership of site materials

The site’s original text, graphics, logo, layout, and code belong to Douglas County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. Do not copy, distribute, or modify those materials without written permission, except where law permits.


Changes and access

We may update these terms at any time, and the posted version takes effect when published. We may limit or revoke access to the site at any time, for any reason, without notice.


Minnesota law and severability

These terms are governed by Minnesota law, and disputes must be brought in courts within Minnesota when permitted. If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains effective and the affected provision will be adjusted only as needed.
