Terms & Conditions

Using this site means that you agree to these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site or its search tools.

This privately owned site is not affiliated with any government body, sheriff, jail, police department, court, or corrections agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers FCRA-covered services. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. Its purpose is to help visitors locate Barnstable County and Massachusetts public-record resources.


Nature of the Site

This is a private reference, not an official records office. It stores no government files and cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bail, or submit documents for a visitor.

Links point toward BCSO, municipal police logs, courts, custody locators, and outside research services. Only the source agency can authenticate its record.


Acceptable Use

You must use the site lawfully and without harming others or its operation.

  • Do not violate a law or another person’s rights.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or intimidate anyone.
  • Do not use content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another regulated decision.
  • Do not seek unauthorized access to any account, server, or data.
  • Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools.
  • Do not disrupt access for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

Barnstable County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It provides no background check, credit report, or consumer report, and neither it nor its advertising partners supplies screening services.

You agree not to use site content for hiring or firing, tenant or housing screening, creditworthiness, insurance pricing, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other decision regulated by the FCRA.


Outside Links

Links may lead to government portals, police logs, jail information, corrections systems, courts, legal resources, news publishers, or third-party searches. We do not control or endorse their content, uptime, privacy practices, or terms.


No Warranties

The site and its content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant accuracy, completeness, timeliness, uninterrupted operation, freedom from errors or security defects, or the scope of a partner’s search results.

Custody and court records change often. Nothing here is an official statement by BCSO, a police department, court, or government agency.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not liable for damages arising from access, use, inability to use, or reliance on the site or an outside service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

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


Intellectual Property

Unless stated otherwise, site text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Barnstable County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or republish them without written permission.


Changes and Access

These terms may change at any time, with a revision effective when posted. Access may also be limited, suspended, or revoked at any time and without advance notice.


Massachusetts Law

Massachusetts law governs these terms. Any dispute must be filed in a court with jurisdiction in Massachusetts.


Severability

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