Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to Catawba County Busted Mugshots and its links to public record resources. Using the site means that you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site or its search tools.

Catawba County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and has no affiliation with a government body, the Catawba County Sheriff’s Office, the Catawba County Detention Facility, or any corrections department. Neither this service nor its advertising partners offers FCRA-covered services. The material points readers toward Catawba County and North Carolina jail, court, and custody resources; it is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.


What Catawba County Busted Mugshots Is

This is a private reference service. It has no tie to the Catawba County Sheriff’s Office or any other public office, stores no official records, and cannot confirm custody, release a person, or file documents.

It directs readers to resources such as the Catawba County Who’s in Jail roster, Sheriff Don Brown’s Records Division, courts, the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, and third-party research tools. Each record custodian sets its own rules and remains responsible for its own data.


Acceptable Use Rules

Access must be lawful and must not interfere with other people’s use of the service:

  • Follow all applicable laws while browsing or using linked resources.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or target another person with information found through the service.
  • Do not use site content to make decisions about another person’s eligibility or treatment in a regulated consumer context.
  • Do not seek unauthorized access to the site, its accounts, systems, or data.
  • Do not deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated tools against the service without written permission.
  • Do not overload, damage, or disrupt access for other visitors.

FCRA and Consumer Reports

Catawba County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Links Outside This Service

Links may point to jail rosters, booking resources, the Sheriff’s Office, NCDAC, North Carolina courts, federal locators, legal resources, and outside search services. Catawba County Busted Mugshots does not endorse every destination and does not control its content, data handling, fees, terms, or uptime. Read the destination’s terms before submitting information.


Provided Without Warranties

The service and its content are provided “as is.” No warranty is made that the material will always be:

  • Accurate, complete, or current.
  • Available without interruption.
  • Free of errors, bugs, or security weaknesses.
  • Complete in the results supplied by a search partner.

Custody status and public records change. Nothing here is an official statement from a sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or other government agency.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Catawba County Busted Mugshots and the people or partners behind it are not liable for damages arising from access to, inability to access, or reliance on the service or linked resources.

Ownership of Site Materials

Text, graphics, logos, layout, and code used by Catawba County Busted Mugshots belong to the service or its content partners unless a different owner is identified. No one may copy, distribute, alter, or republish those materials without written permission, apart from rights granted by law.


Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A new version takes effect when it is posted on this page. Continued use after posting means you accept the revised terms.


Access May Be Revoked

Access may be restricted, suspended, or blocked at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. That includes conduct that threatens the service, other visitors, or the integrity of linked tools.


North Carolina Law

North Carolina law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be filed in a court located in North Carolina, unless applicable law requires another forum.


If One Term Fails

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