Terms and Conditions of Use

These Terms and Conditions govern use of Cayuga County Busted Mugshots. By accessing or using this private reference site, a visitor agrees to them. A visitor who does not agree should not use the site or its search features. These terms do not replace the rules, fees, or procedures of a Cayuga County office, court, corrections agency, or outside service.

Private-reference notice: Cayuga County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and has no affiliation with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides services covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We are not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of This Service

The site offers general reference information and links intended to help visitors identify appropriate official resources in Cayuga County and New York. It does not store official custody, booking, arrest, court, or corrections records. It cannot confirm a status, release a person, submit a document, or act for a government office.

Public-record availability is determined by the responsible agency and law, including New York’s Public Officers Law §87, not by this site. Independent search partners may be available through a widget, but their services, results, and terms are their own.


Permitted and Prohibited Use

Use the site lawfully and with respect for other people’s privacy and safety. Do not use it in a way that interferes with the site, an outside resource, or another person.

  • Do not violate any applicable law or regulation.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or impersonate another person.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access to the site, a partner service, or an official system.
  • Do not use automated bots, scrapers, or similar tools without written permission.
  • Do not disrupt access, introduce malicious code, or interfere with another visitor’s use.
  • Do not use site content for any prohibited consumer-reporting purpose described below.

FCRA-Prohibited Uses

Cayuga County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and it does not provide consumer reports, background checks, credit reports, or similar screening services. Neither the site nor its advertising or search partners authorizes use of information from the site for an FCRA-covered purpose.

  • Employment, hiring, firing, or other work-related decisions
  • Housing or tenant-screening decisions
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance-pricing decisions
  • Licensing, permits, government-benefit eligibility, or similar determinations
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

Links and Independent Services

The site may link to Sheriff and jail contacts, court portals, corrections locators, official public-record pages, legal resources, and independent search services. A link is not an endorsement or a promise that a source is accurate, current, secure, or available. We do not control outside content, data practices, prices, uptime, or terms, and visitors should review those terms before using an external service.


As-Is Information

The site is offered on an “as is” and “as available” basis. No warranty is made that information or partner results will be complete, current, accurate, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or suitable for a particular purpose.

  • Agency contacts, records, and public pages can change without notice.
  • Search tools and links can be unavailable or return incomplete results.
  • Technical errors, defects, and security issues can occur.
  • Nothing here is an official statement from a Sheriff, jail, court, or government agency.

Limit of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its owners, contributors, and service providers will not be liable for damages arising from access to, inability to access, use of, or reliance on the site or an external resource. This includes direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, and punitive damages where such limits are permitted.


Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, contributors, and service providers from claims, liabilities, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site, your violation of these terms, or your violation of another person’s rights.


Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise identified, the site’s original text, graphics, design, logo treatment, and code are owned by Cayuga County Busted Mugshots or its content partners and are protected by applicable law. They may not be copied, distributed, modified, or used commercially without prior written permission. Names, marks, and materials belonging to outside sources remain the property of their respective owners.


Updates and Access Revocation

We may revise these terms, modify the site, or remove content at any time. Revised terms take effect when posted. Access may be limited, suspended, or revoked at any time, with or without notice, for any lawful reason.


New York Law and Severability

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction within New York unless applicable law requires otherwise. If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be adjusted only as needed and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
