Shelby Terms and Conditions

These terms govern use of Shelby County Released Inmates. By browsing the site or using its features, you agree to these conditions. If you do not accept them, stop using the site. The terms apply to the reference material, links, and third-party search tools presented here.

Shelby County Released Inmates is privately owned and has no affiliation with a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. This is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. It only points visitors toward Shelby County and Ohio jail and inmate record resources.


Nature of This Website

This is a private reference service with no government authority. It does not hold official records, confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, or file a public-record or court document.

The site organizes links and explanations for Shelby County jail release records, Ohio corrections information, courts, supervision offices, and outside research tools. The office that creates a record remains its authoritative source.


Acceptable Use Rules

Access is conditioned on responsible and lawful use. You agree that you will not:

  • Use the site while violating any applicable law.
  • Use information to stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass another person.
  • Make employment, housing, lending, insurance, or other regulated eligibility decisions from site content.
  • Attempt to enter accounts, servers, or systems without authorization.
  • Operate automated bots, scrapers, or similar collection tools.
  • Interfere with the site's operation or another visitor's access.

No Consumer Reports

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We do not provide consumer reports, credit reports, background checks, or screening services, and neither do our advertising partners through this site. You agree not to use information found here for:

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

Outside Websites

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections sites, court and release records, legal-aid resources, federal locators, or outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside site's content, privacy practices, prices, data handling, or availability. Review that provider's own terms before using it.


No Warranties

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant:

  • That content is accurate, complete, or current.
  • That service will always be available without interruption.
  • That the site will be free from errors, bugs, or security weaknesses.
  • That a partner search will be complete or return a particular result.

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement by a sheriff, jail, corrections agency, court, or other government office.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Shelby County Released Inmates and its operators will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or other damages arising from access to or use of the site, linked resources, or unavailable services.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site and its operators from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site or your breach of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless stated otherwise, the text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Shelby County Released Inmates or its content partners. You may not copy, republish, distribute, alter, or exploit those materials without written permission.


Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. The new version takes effect when posted on this page. Continued use after posting means you accept the revised terms.


Access May Be Revoked

We may suspend, limit, or end access to all or part of the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Ohio Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Ohio.


Severability of Terms

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms will continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable.
