Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

Cass County Criminal History is an independent reference resource. It neither stores official criminal records nor performs official background checks, record corrections, or government filings.

Its content points readers to Cass County courts, the Sheriff's Office, Michigan State Police CJIC, MDOC, the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry, and other official custodians. Public agency access is governed in part by Michigan FOIA, MCL 15.231 et seq., court rules, and MCL 28.242.

2. Rules for Using This Site

A visitor agrees not to:

• Use the website in violation of federal, Michigan, or local law
• Stalk, threaten, harass, or harm another person
• Use content for an FCRA-regulated determination
• Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
• Run automated bots, scrapers, or similar collection tools
• Interfere with performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Registry or criminal-record information cannot be used to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate. Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry data exists for safety awareness, not vigilantism. Misuse may violate criminal or civil law.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

No consumer report, credit report, or background screening report is created here. Visitors must not use website or linked-tool information for credit, employment, housing, insurance, licensing, benefits, or another determination regulated by the FCRA. An authorized official channel or compliant consumer reporting agency must be used when the law requires one.

5. No Legal Advice

General descriptions of Cass County and Michigan record procedures are not legal advice. A licensed Michigan attorney should advise on an individual charge, conviction, warrant, sentence, or set-aside question.

6. No Warranties

The website and all content are provided "as is." No warranty is made that:

• Content is complete, accurate, or current
• Service will remain uninterrupted
• Every page is free of bugs or security flaws
• A partner tool will return a complete or correct result

Criminal records can change after filing, dismissal, correction, sealing, or set-aside. Only the originating office can confirm an official current record.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to government portals, legal resources, and independent search providers. Those operators control their own content, terms, privacy practices, availability, and prices. Cass County Criminal History is not responsible for an outside service.

8. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, website text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Cass County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, adapting, distributing, or republishing protected material requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Cass County Criminal History is not liable for loss or damage arising from website use, inability to use it, reliance on its content, or use of an outside service.

10. Indemnification

A visitor agrees to defend and hold the operator harmless from claims, demands, expenses, and legal fees caused by that visitor's use or breach of these terms.

11. Governing Law

Michigan law governs these terms. A dispute connected to use of the website must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Michigan.

12. Changes to These Terms

Revised terms take effect when posted on this page. Continued use after posting indicates acceptance of the revision.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or ended at any time, with or without prior notice, when the operator considers it necessary.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected text will be limited only as much as needed.

15. Questions
