Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern access to Somerset County Busted Mugshots. By using the site, you agree to them. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.

Somerset County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and unaffiliated with government offices, the sheriff, the jail, or corrections agencies. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. Neither this site nor its partners offers consumer reports or FCRA-covered services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or related decisions.


Nature of the service

This site is a private reference to public-facing resources for Somerset County and Pennsylvania custody, police, and court records. It does not store official records, confirm a person’s custody, release a person, file documents, or act for an agency. It may direct a visitor to third-party research tools, but those tools are separate services.


Permitted use

Use the service lawfully and respectfully. You agree not to:

  • violate a law or another person’s rights
  • stalk, harass, threaten, or harm anyone
  • use information for employment, housing, lending, insurance, or another prohibited screening purpose
  • attempt to enter restricted systems or accounts
  • run bots, scrapers, or other unauthorized automated collection
  • interfere with the service or another visitor’s access

FCRA limitation

The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or FCRA-covered screening. You agree not to use information from the site or a partner for hiring, firing, tenant selection, creditworthiness, insurance pricing, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.


External services

Links can lead to jail, police, court, corrections, federal, and third-party services. Those services control their own content, availability, terms, and privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement or a guarantee that a source is complete, current, or suitable for a particular question.


No warranties

The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that material is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that a partner result will be comprehensive. Custody status and public records can change quickly, and this site is not an official statement from Somerset County or any agency.


Liability limit

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its operators are not liable for damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the service, its content, or an external link.


Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees that arise from your use of the service or breach of these terms.


Intellectual property

The site’s text, graphics, logo, design, and code are owned by Somerset County Busted Mugshots or its content partners, unless another owner is identified. They may not be copied, distributed, or modified without written permission except where law allows.


Changes and access

These terms may be changed at any time by posting a revised version. Updated terms apply when posted. Access to the site may be limited, suspended, or ended at any time, for any reason, without prior notice.


Pennsylvania law and severability

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any dispute must be brought in a court with appropriate jurisdiction in Pennsylvania. If a provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect, and the affected provision will be adjusted only as much as needed.
