Terms of Service

Using this site means you agree to these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use Benton County Recent Arrests or its search features.

Benton County Recent Arrests is privately owned and unaffiliated with any government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides a consumer report or FCRA-covered service. This is not a private investigation firm.


Nature of the Service

This private reference points readers toward Benton County and Iowa jail, arrest, court, corrections, and public-record resources. It stores no official records and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, or file a document. Independent research tools may also appear.


Acceptable Use Rules

  • Obey all applicable laws.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person.
  • Do not use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another prohibited screening decision.
  • Do not seek access to systems or data without authorization.
  • Do not deploy bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools.
  • Do not interfere with another visitor’s access.

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It and its partners do not offer background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. You agree not to use site information for:

  • employment or firing decisions;
  • tenant or housing screening;
  • creditworthiness or insurance pricing;
  • licenses, permits, or government-benefit eligibility; or
  • any other purpose governed by the FCRA.

Independent Websites

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, courts, government portals, news sources, legal resources, and private search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside site’s content, privacy practices, terms, prices, accuracy, or availability.


Service Provided As Is

The site is supplied “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty that content is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that a partner search will be thorough. Custody and public records change quickly, and nothing here is an official statement from Benton County or another government office.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from use of, or reliance on, the site.


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 service or breach of these terms.


Intellectual Property Rights

Site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Benton County Recent Arrests or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or republish them without written permission, except where law permits.


Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. Updated terms take effect when posted.


Access May End

We may restrict or terminate access at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice.


Iowa Law Controls

These terms are governed by Iowa law. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Iowa.


Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid, the remaining terms stay effective. The invalid part will be adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.
