Cowlitz Terms of Use

These Terms & Conditions govern use of Cowlitz County Busted Mugshots. By accessing the service, a visitor accepts them. Anyone who does not accept them should not use the service.

This is a privately owned reference service, not a government body, Sheriff, jail, corrections office, or investigation firm. Neither it nor its advertising partners supplies consumer reports or FCRA-covered services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or similar decisions.


Nature of the Service

Cowlitz County Busted Mugshots is an independent reference service. It does not own official County, court, or corrections records and cannot confirm custody, release a person, file a document, or give legal advice. It links visitors to records resources in Cowlitz County, Washington, and may connect them to third-party research tools.


Acceptable Use

Visitors must use the service lawfully and with respect for others.

  • Do not use information to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access to this service or an outside resource.
  • Do not use automated bots, scrapers, or other activity that disrupts access.
  • Do not use material to make employment, housing, lending, insurance, licensing, or eligibility decisions.
  • Do not interfere with another visitor's use of the service.

FCRA Prohibited Uses

The service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports, and neither its partners nor advertisers may offer those services through this site. By using the service, a visitor agrees not to use any information for a purpose governed by the FCRA, including hiring, firing, housing or tenant review, creditworthiness, insurance pricing, permits, government-program eligibility, or another regulated consumer-report purpose.


Links and Outside Tools

Links may lead to jail rosters, booking windows, Sheriff or corrections sources, court portals, legal resources, federal locators, and third-party search services. They are offered for convenience, not as an endorsement. This service does not control their data, availability, privacy practices, charges, or content. Review the terms of each outside destination.


Information Provided As Is

All material is provided "as is" and without a warranty of accuracy, completeness, currency, uninterrupted availability, security, error-free operation, or thorough partner results. Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing on this service is an official statement from Cowlitz County, a Sheriff, a jail, a court, or another government office.


Liability and Indemnity

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the service and its owners are not liable for losses or damages related to use of, or inability to use, the service or an outside link. A visitor agrees to defend and hold the service harmless from claims, damages, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from that visitor's use or violation of these Terms.


Content Ownership

The service's text, design, logos, graphics, and code belong to Cowlitz County Busted Mugshots or its content partners unless a separate owner is identified. They may not be copied, distributed, altered, or reused without prior written permission.


Updates, Access, and Washington Law

These terms may be changed at any time, with revised terms effective when posted. Access may be limited or ended at any time, for any reason, without notice. Washington law governs these terms and any dispute must be brought in courts within Washington. If a provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions remain effective and the invalid part will be adjusted only as needed.
