Terms & Conditions

Using Westchester County Busted Mugshots means accepting these terms. If they are not acceptable, do not use the site or its search tools. These terms apply to access to this private reference service and are separate from the terms of any government office or outside provider.

This is a privately owned reference service, not a government body, police agency, jail, corrections department, or private investigation firm. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides consumer reports or services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or other FCRA-covered decisions. It helps visitors locate Westchester County records resources and is not a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Service

The site is a source guide. It does not hold official jail, police, court, or correction records, and it cannot confirm custody, change a release decision, file a government form, or act for any public office. Links and search tools are provided for convenience and may lead to independent services.

Information about New York records access, including FOIL, is general reference material. The applicable agency and New York law control an actual request.


Permitted Use

Use the site lawfully, respectfully, and only through normal browser access.

  • Do not break the law or misuse an official resource.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or impersonate another person.
  • Do not attempt to bypass access controls or gain unauthorized entry.
  • Do not run bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools.
  • Do not interfere with another visitor's access.
  • Do not submit false information to an agency or partner.

FCRA Restrictions

The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It and its partners do not provide consumer reports. You agree not to use material reached through this site for any decision covered by the FCRA.

  • Employment, hiring, firing, or promotion decisions
  • Tenant or housing decisions
  • Creditworthiness or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

External Links

Government portals, jail searches, court systems, partner tools, and other linked services operate independently. The site does not control their availability, data handling, accuracy, or content, and a link is not an endorsement. Review the terms and privacy notices of each destination.


Service Provided As Is

The site is provided as is and as available, without a promise that it will be complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. Official custody and record information can change quickly. A government office, not this site, is the proper source for a final confirmation.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the owners and providers are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site or a linked resource.


Indemnity

You agree to defend and hold harmless the site, its owners, and its providers from claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs that arise from your misuse of the service, breach of these terms, or violation of law.


Ownership

The site's original text, design elements, logos, and code are owned by Westchester County Busted Mugshots or its content providers. They may not be copied, distributed, or modified without written permission, except where law permits.


Updates and Access

These terms may change at any time and the revised version takes effect when posted. Access may also be limited, suspended, or revoked at any time, with or without notice, to protect the service or for another lawful reason.


New York Law and Severability

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, and disputes must be brought in a court within New York where permitted. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be adjusted only as needed and the remaining provisions will stay in effect.
