Terms & Conditions

Fayette County Released Inmates is privately owned and unaffiliated with any government, sheriff, jail, or corrections agency. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers an FCRA-covered service.


Nature of the Website

This private reference site stores no official jail, court, custody, or release records. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, or file a request with an agency. Its pages point readers toward Fayette County and West Virginia public-record sources and may connect them with outside research tools.


Acceptable Use

Use of the site requires lawful and respectful conduct.

  • Do not break a law or violate another person's rights.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or intimidate anyone.
  • Do not use content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or similar decisions.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access to any system.
  • Do not operate bots or scrapers against the site.
  • Do not impair the service for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It and its advertising partners do not provide background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Information may not be used for employment decisions, tenant or housing screening, creditworthiness, insurance pricing, licensing or benefit eligibility, or any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.


Third-Party Links

Links may lead to WVDCR, courts, release-record sources, federal locators, legal resources, or outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. The site does not control an outside service's content, uptime, prices, terms, or data practices.


No Warranties

All pages and tools are provided "as is" and "as available." No warranty is made that content is complete, accurate, current, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that an outside search will return every matching record. Custody and public records change quickly, and no page is an official statement from Fayette County or a government agency.


Limits of Liability

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


Indemnification

A user agrees to defend and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from that user's conduct, misuse of content, or violation of these terms.


Intellectual Property

Site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Fayette County Released Inmates or the applicable content partner. They may not be copied, changed, republished, or distributed without written permission, except where law expressly permits.


Changes and Access

These terms may change at any time, and a revision takes effect when posted. Access may also be limited or revoked at any time, for any lawful reason, without prior notice.


West Virginia Law

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


Severability and Questions

If one provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be adjusted only as needed and the remaining provisions will continue. Questions may be sent through the Contact Us page.
