Outside Resources

The site links to sheriffs, police departments, courts, corrections agencies, locators, and other outside services. We do not control their content, availability, privacy practices, data handling, or terms. A link is not an endorsement, and visitors should read the destination’s own policies.


No Warranties

The material is supplied as is and as available. We do not promise that it is complete, current, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or suitable for a particular purpose. Custody status and public records can change without notice, and partner search results may be incomplete.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent New York law allows, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from access to, inability to use, reliance on, or interaction with this site or an outside resource.


Your Responsibility

You agree to defend and hold harmless the site, its owners, and its partners from claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs that arise from your use of the site or your breach of these terms.


Site Materials

Unless a third party is identified as the owner, the site’s original text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Rensselaer County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. Do not copy, distribute, or modify protected material without written permission.


Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here, so revisit this page before continued use if the date or language has changed.


Suspending Access

We may limit, block, or end access to the site at any time, with or without notice, when permitted by law.


New York Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in New York, unless controlling law requires another venue.


Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective. The affected provision will be adjusted only as needed to make it enforceable when possible.
