NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no connection to a local, Michigan, or federal government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify criminal-record resources for Ontonagon County and Michigan. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, independent of every government office. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, performs official checks, or files paperwork for a user.
Its material points toward the Ontonagon County Sheriff, the 98th District and 32nd Circuit courts, Michigan State Police CJIC, and the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, you agree not to:
- Use automated bots or scraping tools against the pages
- Violate a federal, Michigan, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
- Use the content for employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Interfere with site availability or another visitor's access
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any connected system
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this website or a linked tool must not be used to stalk, threaten, intimidate, harass, or discriminate against anyone. This restriction is especially important for the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry. Michigan's Sex Offenders Registration Act, including MCL 28.728c, governs the public registry, and criminal misuse of its information may carry penalties. Registry access supports public safety awareness, never vigilante acts or unlawful discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background checks, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners likewise do not supply tools through this site for applicant screening, rental review, insurance pricing, or credit decisions. Information from the site or a linked tool may not be used to:
- Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
- Make an employment decision
- Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public program
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated decision
A lawful check for a regulated purpose must come through the appropriate official Michigan State Police process or a provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is not legal advice. General explanations of Ontonagon County records cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, or Michigan set-aside rule affects a particular case. Consult a licensed Michigan attorney for that analysis.
6. No Warranties
All content is supplied "as is," without a promise that:
- A partner tool will return complete or correct results
- Every published detail is current, complete, and accurate
- The website will always operate without interruption
- The pages contain no error, defect, or security weakness
Criminal records change as charges are filed or dismissed and convictions are set aside or restricted. Gaps can occur. No page is an official statement from the sheriff, a court, Michigan State Police, or another government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to government offices, court portals, Michigan agencies, legal resources, and independent search services. We do not control a destination's availability, prices, privacy practices, or content. Review its terms before proceeding.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, logos, graphics, and code belong to Ontonagon County Criminal History or its content partners. Written permission is required to copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for harm arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, and actions caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Michigan law governs these terms. A dispute related to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Michigan.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be updated. A revised version becomes effective when posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended at any time, for any reason, without prior notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected text is adjusted only as far as needed for enforcement.
