Terms & Conditions

Using Shelby County Busted Mugshots means that you accept these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site or its tools. These rules apply to the editorial pages, links, and search features.

This is a privately owned reference, not a government body, sheriff, jail, corrections department, private investigation firm, or consumer reporting agency. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers FCRA-covered services for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. It points visitors toward Shelby County and Iowa records resources.


Nature of This Service

No government office is connected with this site. We store no official records and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, or file documents.

Pages point toward Shelby County Jail, sheriff arrest information, Iowa court and corrections resources, federal locators, and outside research tools.


Rules for Use

You agree to use the service lawfully and responsibly. You must not:

  • Break any local, state, or federal law
  • Stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person
  • Use information for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized access to systems or accounts
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools
  • Disrupt access for other visitors

No Consumer Reports

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 through this site. You agree not to use its content for:

  • Hiring, firing, or other employment decisions
  • Tenant selection or housing decisions
  • Creditworthiness or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other purpose governed by the FCRA

Outside Links

Links may lead to jail and arrest reports, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal resources, news sites, and search providers. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control the destination's content, privacy practices, fees, or uptime, so review its terms before use.


No Warranties

The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or current status
  • Continuous or uninterrupted access
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, or security flaws
  • Complete results from a partner search

Custody and public records change often. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, Shelby County Jail, Iowa Department of Corrections, or another agency.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Shelby County Busted Mugshots and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from use of, or inability to use, the service or a linked resource.


Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use, misuse, or breach of these terms.


Intellectual Property

Unless stated otherwise, original text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Shelby County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or republished without written permission.


Changes to Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. New language takes effect when posted. Continued use after posting means acceptance of the revision.


Access Restrictions

Access may be limited, suspended, or revoked at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice, including misuse or threats to site operations.


Iowa Governing Law

Iowa law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Iowa.


Severability

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