Terms & Conditions

Use of this website means that you agree to these terms and conditions. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

This privately owned Jones County, Iowa reference site is not affiliated with a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers FCRA-covered services. This is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency, and its content cannot be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.


The Site's Limited Role

This website is an independent guide with no authority to act for Jones County or the State of Iowa. It does not store official records and cannot verify custody, release anyone, file a request or court paper, or alter a government record.

Its pages direct visitors to Jones County Jail and sheriff resources, Iowa Courts Online, the Iowa Department of Corrections, federal locators, and outside research tools. The official office or provider remains responsible for its own information.


Acceptable Use

  • Use the website only for lawful purposes.
  • Do not use information to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten another person.
  • Do not use site content to make hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or other eligibility decisions.
  • Do not try to enter restricted systems or accounts without authorization.
  • Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated extraction tools against the site.
  • Do not interfere with access or service for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports or Screening

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It supplies no background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening service, and neither do its advertising partners. You agree not to use its information for:

  • A decision to hire, retain, discipline, or dismiss a worker
  • Tenant selection or any other housing decision
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or eligibility for a government benefit
  • Any additional purpose regulated by the FCRA

Third-Party Destinations

Links may point to sheriff and corrections pages, jail information, court systems, federal locators, legal resources, news outlets, and independent search providers. We do not endorse or control their content, privacy practices, terms, pricing, or uptime. Review the destination's rules before using it.


Information Provided As Is

The website and its content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty that:

  • Information is accurate, complete, or current
  • The site will operate without interruption
  • Every error, defect, or security weakness has been eliminated
  • A partner search will return complete results

Custody and public-record information can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Jones County Sheriff's Office, Jones County Jail, Iowa Department of Corrections, or another agency.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the site and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, use of, or inability to use this website or a linked service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

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


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless stated otherwise, the site's text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Jones County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, redistributed, changed, or republished without written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

We may update these terms at any time. Revised terms become effective when posted on this page, and later use of the site is subject to that version.


Suspension or Loss of Access

Access may be restricted, suspended, or ended at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice.


Iowa Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Iowa. References to access to Iowa public records are governed by Iowa Code chapter 22, subject to its exceptions and other applicable law.


Severability

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