Terms of Service

Accessing or using Kent County Recent Arrests means that you agree to these terms. If you do not accept every condition stated here, do not use the site or its tools.

Kent County Recent Arrests is privately owned and has no connection to a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. The site helps visitors locate Kent County and Maryland custody-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of This Resource

This is a private reference site. It keeps no official government records and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, accept filings, or act for a public office.

Its pages point visitors toward Kent County jail and arrest-record sources, Maryland corrections and court portals, federal locators, and third-party research tools.


Acceptable Use Rules

Use the site in a lawful way that respects other people and its technical operation. You agree that you will not:

  • Violate a law through your use of the site
  • Use information to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content
  • Attempt access without authorization
  • Operate bots, scrapers, or similar automated collection tools
  • Interrupt the service or interfere with another visitor’s access

No Consumer Reports

Kent County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We provide no background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening service, and neither do our advertising partners. You agree not to use any information reached through the site for an FCRA-covered decision, including:

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

Links Operated by Others

The site links to sheriff and corrections pages, custody resources, government portals, legal-help sources, and outside search services. We do not control their content, data practices, terms, availability, or security. Review each destination’s rules before using it.


Service Provided As Is

The site and its content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty concerning:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or freshness
  • Continuous or uninterrupted access
  • Freedom from errors, defects, or security weaknesses
  • The scope or completeness of a partner’s results

Custody and public-record information changes often. Nothing on the site is an official statement by KCSO, KCDC, DPSCS, a court, or any other government agency.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Kent County Recent Arrests and its owners, operators, partners, and suppliers are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive loss arising from access to or use of the site.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, damages, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless otherwise stated, the text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Kent County Recent Arrests or its content partners. You may not copy, modify, republish, or distribute them without prior written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A new version takes effect when it is posted here, and continued use after posting means acceptance of that version.


Suspension or Loss of Access

We may restrict, suspend, or end access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Maryland Law Applies

These terms are governed by Maryland law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be brought in a court located within Maryland.


If a Provision Is Invalid

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
