Terms of Use

Using Orange County Recent Arrests means accepting these terms. Anyone who does not agree should stop using the site. These rules apply to the pages, links, search tools, and other materials offered here.

Orange County Recent Arrests is privately owned and independent of all government agencies, sheriffs, jails, and corrections departments. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides a consumer report or an FCRA-covered service. The material is limited to helping readers locate Orange County and North Carolina public-record resources.


Nature of the Site

This private reference site stores no official record and cannot confirm custody, release a detainee, post bond, or submit documents to an agency. It organizes links to Orange County jail, booking, court, and corrections resources and may connect visitors with independent research tools.


Acceptable Use

Access is conditioned on lawful, respectful use.

  • Do not violate any law through use of the site.
  • Do not stalk, threaten, harass, or harm another person.
  • Do not use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another regulated decision.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access to the site or its systems.
  • Do not deploy bots, scrapers, or automated extraction tools.
  • Do not interfere with service for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

Orange County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and supplies no credit report, background check, or consumer report. Its advertising and search partners do not provide screening services through this site. Users agree not to apply any information to:

  • Employment or termination decisions
  • Tenant or housing screening
  • Creditworthiness or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or government-benefit eligibility
  • Any other decision regulated by the FCRA

Third-Party Destinations

Links may lead to jail rosters, sheriff records pages, booking interfaces, North Carolina court and correctional systems, federal locators, legal resources, advertising partners, and other outside services. Those destinations are not endorsed or controlled here. Their operators are responsible for content, uptime, privacy, and terms.


Service Provided As Is

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is given that information is accurate, complete, current, continuously available, secure, error-free, or that a partner search will be comprehensive. Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Orange County Detention Center, North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, or another public body.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access, inability to access, reliance on content, or use of an outside service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

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


Ownership of Site Materials

Original text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Orange County Recent Arrests or its content partners. They may not be copied, modified, republished, or distributed without written permission, except where law permits.


Revisions to These Terms

These terms may change at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted, and continued use after posting signifies acceptance.


Suspension of Access

Access may be limited, suspended, or revoked at any time and for any reason, without advance notice.


North Carolina Law

North Carolina law governs these terms, including applicable principles reflected in the state’s public-records access law. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in North Carolina.


Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be narrowed only as necessary. Every remaining provision will continue in effect.
