Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions govern use of Erie County Busted Mugshots. By accessing the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the site. These terms concern a private records-reference service and do not alter the rules or procedures of the Erie County Sheriff’s Office, Erie County Jail, courts, or Ohio agencies.

Erie County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and is not affiliated with a government body, the Erie County Sheriff’s Office, Erie County Jail, Ohio DRC, or another corrections department. Neither this service nor its advertising partners provides credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. The site identifies public record resources in Erie County, Ohio. It is not a private investigation firm and is not a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Service

This is an independent reference site, not a government recordkeeper. It does not retain official custody files and cannot confirm a person’s status, release anyone, post a bond, or file documents with a court or agency.

The site points readers to resources such as Erie County jail and court channels and may connect users to independent research tools. A linked tool or official office controls its own records, result, fee, and response process.


Acceptable Use

You must use the site lawfully and with respect for other people’s safety and privacy.

  • Do not violate a law while using information or links from the site.
  • Do not use any information to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person.
  • Do not use the site for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or similar eligibility decisions.
  • Do not try to gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems.
  • Do not use bots, scrapers, or other automated collection methods without written permission.
  • Do not interfere with the site’s availability or another visitor’s use of it.

FCRA Restricted Uses

Erie County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide consumer reports, background checks, or screening services, and neither do its advertising partners through this site. You agree not to use information from this site or a linked tool for an FCRA-covered purpose.

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions.
  • Tenant selection, housing screening, or lease decisions.
  • Creditworthiness, loan, or insurance-pricing decisions.
  • Licensing, permit, or government-program eligibility decisions.
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Links

The site may link to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, federal locators, legal resources, and outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside site’s content, privacy practices, data, availability, or terms, and you should review its own policies before using it.


Service Disclaimer

The site and its contents are supplied “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee the following:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or current status of information.
  • Uninterrupted access to the site.
  • That the site will be free of errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities.
  • That an outside partner’s search results will be complete or suitable for a particular need.

Custody information and public records can change quickly. Nothing on the site is an official statement by a sheriff’s office, jail, court, or other government agency.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Erie County Busted Mugshots and its owners, providers, and partners are not liable for losses or damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the site or an outside link.


Your Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Erie County Busted Mugshots, its owners, providers, and partners from claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site or your breach of these terms.


Site Intellectual Property

The site’s text, graphics, logo, code, and arrangement are owned by Erie County Busted Mugshots or its content partners and are protected by applicable law. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from them without written permission.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the site at any time, for any reason, and without notice.


Ohio Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Ohio.


Severability

If a provision of these terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only to the extent needed to make it enforceable where possible.
