Terms & Conditions

These terms set the conditions for using Belmont County Busted Mugshots. By browsing or using a feature on the site, a visitor agrees to them. Anyone who does not accept these terms should not use the site.

Belmont County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and is not connected with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers consumer-reporting services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another FCRA-covered use. The site points visitors toward Belmont County, Ohio, jail and record resources. It is not a private investigation firm and is not a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Site

This is a private reference site with no relationship to a government office. It does not store official records, confirm custody status, release anyone, or submit documents to an agency.

It identifies Belmont County jail and record resources and may connect visitors to third-party research tools. A government office remains the source for an official record or decision.


Permitted Use

Visitors must use the site responsibly and lawfully. In particular, a visitor must not:

  • Use the site in violation of a law or regulation.
  • Use information to stalk, harass, or threaten another person.
  • Use material from the site to make employment, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems.
  • Run a bot, scraper, crawler, or similar automated collection tool.
  • Interfere with access to the site for other visitors.

FCRA Prohibited Uses

Belmont County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither do its advertising partners through this site.

  • Hiring, firing, or other employment decisions.
  • Tenant or housing screening.
  • Assessing creditworthiness or setting insurance premiums.
  • Licensing, permitting, or government-program eligibility.
  • Any other use regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Resources

The site may link to jail rosters, booking sources, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, legal-aid resources, and outside search services. Those links do not endorse the destination. We do not control its content, data handling, or availability, so visitors should review its own terms and notices.

The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant that it will have any of the following:

  • Accurate, complete, or current information.
  • Uninterrupted access.
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, or security vulnerabilities.
  • Complete results from a partner search tool.

Custody and public-record details can change quickly. Nothing on the site is an official statement by a sheriff’s office or another government agency.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Belmont County Busted Mugshots is not liable for damages arising from access to, use of, or inability to use the site.


Indemnification

A visitor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Belmont County Busted Mugshots from claims arising from that visitor’s use of the site or violation of these terms, including reasonable legal fees.
