Holmes County Terms of Use

Using Holmes County Recent Arrests means accepting these terms. Do not use the site if you do not agree with them. The terms apply to the editorial pages, links, and embedded search services.

Holmes County Recent Arrests is privately owned and is not affiliated with any government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers credit, employment, insurance, housing or tenant-screening services covered by the FCRA. The site is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Site

This private reference service stores no official arrest, court, jail, or corrections record. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or file a government document.

Its role is to point visitors toward Holmes County and Florida record sources, explain which agency owns a fact, and connect users with outside research tools. Only the originating agency can provide an official response.


Acceptable Use Rules

Access is conditioned on lawful and respectful use.

  • Do not violate a law or another person’s rights.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or endanger anyone.
  • Do not use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another regulated eligibility decision.
  • Do not seek unauthorized access to the site or another system.
  • Do not use bots, scrapers, or bulk extraction tools.
  • Do not disrupt access or interfere with another visitor.

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and supplies no background check, credit report, or consumer report. Its advertising and search partners do not provide FCRA screening services through these pages. Users agree not to apply any result to a covered purpose.

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

Links and Outside Services

Links may lead to HCSO, Holmes County Jail information, court portals, Florida VINE, state or federal corrections, legal resources, news, or outside search services. Their owners control content, uptime, data handling, and terms. Linking does not endorse an operator or make its information official.


Service Provided As Is

The site and its contents are supplied “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made about accuracy, completeness, currency, uninterrupted availability, freedom from errors or security flaws, or the reach of a partner’s search results.

Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement by the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office, Holmes County Jail, the Clerk, or any government agency. Confirm important details with the source office.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access, inability to access, reliance on content, or use of an outside link or tool.


Your Duty to Indemnify

A user agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the site, its operators, and content partners harmless from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by that user’s conduct, misuse, or breach of these terms.


Ownership of Site Material

Unless otherwise stated, text, graphics, logos, design elements, and code belong to Holmes County Recent Arrests or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, republished, or modified without written permission, except where law permits.


Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A new version becomes effective when posted. Continued use after posting means acceptance of the revised terms.


Access May Be Revoked

Access may be limited, suspended, or blocked at any time, for any reason allowed by law, and without prior notice.


Florida Governing Law

Florida law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Florida.


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 only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
