Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of this website. Visiting a page, reading its content, or using a search feature means that you accept them. If you disagree, do not continue using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This website is privately owned and run. It has no affiliation with any local, state, or federal government body. Neither this site nor any of our advertising partners offer services meant for credit checks, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or any other use covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We exist to help visitors find criminal-record resources in Isabella County and Michigan. We are not a private investigation firm, and we are not a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government affiliation. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, conducts official checks, or files documents for users.

Its purpose is to identify the Isabella County Sheriff, criminal courts, Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center, Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry, and other custodians, along with optional outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of use, you must not:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Using information from this site, or from any tool linked here, to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against any person is prohibited and may be a crime. This applies with special force to sex offender registry information: Michigan law restricts how Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry data may be used, and misusing registry information against a listed person can carry criminal penalties. Registry data exists for public safety awareness, not for vigilante action, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:

  • Decide whether to hire or fire someone
  • Screen potential renters or housing applicants
  • Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
  • Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
  • Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules

If you need a background check for any of those purposes, order an official check through the Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center or an FCRA-compliant screening company.

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Michigan attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, or set-aside rule applies to a specific situation.

6. No Warranties

The website is provided "as is," without a guarantee that:

  • The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
  • The site will stay up and running without interruptions
  • Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
  • Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Charges, dispositions, custody entries, and set-aside status can change. Gaps may occur, and no website text or partner result is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to government portals, legal resources, or outside search services that we do not control. We are not responsible for a destination's content, availability, charges, or data practices. Review its terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Isabella County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, modification, distribution, or derivative use requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from the website, its content, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims or demands caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

Michigan law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with website use must be brought in a court located in Michigan.

12. Changes to These Terms

Revised terms become effective when the updated text is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or terminate access at any time and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision is adjusted only as necessary.

15. Questions
