Terms & Conditions

Use of New Hanover County Recent Arrests means that you agree to these terms and conditions. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.

This privately owned site is not tied to any government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. We are not private investigators or a consumer reporting agency. Our role is limited to helping visitors locate New Hanover County and North Carolina custody and public-record resources.


The Nature of This Site

New Hanover County Recent Arrests is an independent reference service with no government affiliation. It holds no official arrest, jail, court, or corrections record and cannot confirm custody, release a person, or file a document.

The site points readers toward the New Hanover County Sheriff’s roster and bulletin, North Carolina courts, NCDAC resources, and outside research tools.


Acceptable Use Rules

Access is conditioned on lawful and respectful use. You agree that you will not:

  • Use the site while violating any applicable law
  • Use information to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten another person
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content
  • Try to enter an account, server, or system without authorization
  • Operate bots, scrapers, or other automated extraction tools
  • Interfere with the site or another visitor’s access

No Consumer Reports

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site and its advertising partners do not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. You agree not to use site information for:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or another employment decision
  • Housing or tenant-screening decisions
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

External Websites and Services

Links may lead to jail rosters, booking bulletins, sheriff and corrections pages, public portals, legal-help resources, and independent search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control the destination’s content, privacy practices, prices, or availability, so review its own terms before use.


Service Provided As Is

The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty that:

  • Information will always be accurate, complete, or current
  • Service will remain continuous or uninterrupted
  • The site will contain no error, defect, or security weakness
  • A partner search will return every relevant result

Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office or another government agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site, its owners, and its partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss arising from access to, use of, or reliance on the site.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, and partners from claims, losses, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the service or breach of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

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


Revisions to These Terms

We may change these terms at any time. A revision becomes effective when the updated terms are posted here.


Suspension of Access

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


North Carolina Governs

North Carolina law governs these terms. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction within North Carolina.


If One Term Is Invalid

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay effective. The affected part will be narrowed only as much as required to make it enforceable.
