Terms & Conditions

Nature of the Website

This is a private reference website with no authority to act for a government office. It does not keep official arrest, booking, court, or custody records. It cannot confirm that someone is in custody, order or arrange a release, change an agency file, file court papers, or provide an official response to a records request.

Its purpose is to point visitors toward relevant Kalawao County and Hawaii resources, including agency pages and third-party research tools. A link or description is not a government service, official finding, or substitute for direct confirmation from the office that created the record.

Conditions of Acceptable Use

You may use the website only in a lawful manner that respects the rights, safety, and access of other people. By continuing to use it, you agree that you will not:

• violate any federal, Hawaii, or local law;
• stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten another person;
• make hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions from website content;
• seek access to accounts, systems, files, or data without authorization;
• operate bots, automated scrapers, or other bulk collection tools; or
• interfere with the website's operation or another visitor's use.

No Consumer Reports

Kalawao County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not issue consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Its advertising and search partners do not provide screening services through this website. You agree not to use information found here for:

• hiring, firing, promotion, or another employment decision;
• tenant selection, housing approval, or lease decisions;
• creditworthiness, lending, or insurance premiums;
• licensing, permits, or eligibility for a government program; or
• any other decision regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Links and Services

The website may link to public-record portals, custody tools, jail or corrections resources, sheriff and police pages, legal-aid information, court systems, and outside search services. Those sites have their own operators, content, privacy practices, terms, and availability. Kalawao County Recent Arrests does not control them and is not responsible for their accuracy, security, data handling, or uptime. A link does not amount to endorsement. Review an outside provider's own terms before using its service.

Service Provided As Is

The website and all information available through it are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, no express or implied warranty is made regarding:

• the accuracy, completeness, or current status of information;
• continuous or uninterrupted access;
• the absence of errors, defects, bugs, or security weaknesses; or
• the scope or completeness of results supplied by a partner service.

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Material found here is not an official statement from the Kalawao County sheriff, Hawaii DCR, Maui Police, a court, or any other government agency. Verify important facts at their original source.

Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Kalawao County Recent Arrests and its owners, operators, contributors, and partners will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from access to, use of, inability to use, or reliance on the website or an outside service linked from it. This limit applies even when the possibility of a loss was known.

Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Kalawao County Recent Arrests and its owners, operators, contributors, and partners from claims, obligations, losses, damages, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the website, your misuse of information, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of another person's rights.

Ownership of Site Materials

The website's original text, graphics, logos, design elements, and code belong to Kalawao County Recent Arrests or the applicable content partner and are protected by relevant intellectual-property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, publish, sell, modify, or create derivative works from those materials without prior written permission from the rights holder. Government records and outside materials remain subject to their own ownership and use rules.

Updates to These Terms

These Terms & Conditions may be revised at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on the website. Continued use after posting means that you accept the updated terms. Review this page periodically if you continue to access the website.

Suspension of Access

Access to all or part of the website may be restricted, suspended, or terminated at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice. This right includes action taken in response to suspected misuse, security concerns, disruption, or a breach of these terms.

Hawaii Law and Courts

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute relating to the website or these terms must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Hawaii.

If a Term Is Invalid

If a court finds one part of these terms invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining terms will continue in force. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only to the extent needed to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its intended effect as closely as the law permits.
