Terms & Conditions

Nature of This Resource

This is an independent reference site, not an official public office. It does not store government records, confirm whether a person is in custody, order or arrange a release, submit filings, or act for any sheriff, court, jail, corrections agency, or other authority.

The site points visitors toward public inmate and jail-record resources serving Ashland County and may connect visitors with outside research tools. Any official fact must be confirmed with the government office that created or maintains the underlying record.

Acceptable Use Rules

You agree to use the site responsibly and in a way that does not harm other people, the service, or its systems. In particular, you must not:

• Use the site while breaking any local, state, or federal law.
• Use information found here to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten anyone.
• Base hiring, housing, lending, credit, or insurance decisions on site content.
• Attempt to enter accounts, servers, data, or restricted areas without authorization.
• Operate bots, automated scrapers, or similar collection tools against the site.
• Interfere with access, overload the service, or disrupt its use by others.

No Consumer Reports or Screening

Ashland County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not furnish background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither do its advertising partners. By using the site, you agree not to use its information for:

• Decisions about hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment matters.
• Tenant selection, housing approval, or residential screening.
• Creditworthiness, lending terms, insurance premiums, or coverage decisions.
• Licensing, permits, benefits, or eligibility for government programs.
• Any other decision or purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Websites and Services We Link To

Links may lead to sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, release-record sources, legal-aid information, and independent search services. Those sites operate under their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control or take responsibility for their content, accuracy, availability, security, or handling of data. Review the terms of an outside service before using it.

Service Provided As Is

The site and all content are offered on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent allowed by law, no promise or warranty is made that:

• Information will always be accurate, complete, or current.
• The site will remain available without interruption.
• The service will be free of errors, defects, bugs, or security weaknesses.
• An outside partner's search will be complete or return every relevant result.

Custody status, release information, court entries, and public records can change without notice. Nothing displayed here is an official statement by the Ashland County Sheriff's Office, Ashland County Jail, ODRC, a court, or another government agency.

Limits on Liability

To the broadest extent permitted by applicable law, Ashland County Released Inmates and its owners, operators, contributors, and partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from access to, reliance on, inability to use, or other use of the site or any linked service.

Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ashland County Released Inmates and its owners, operators, contributors, and partners from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your use of the site, your misuse of its information, or your violation of these Terms & Conditions.

Unless a different owner is identified, the original text, graphics, logos, layout, and code on Ashland County Released Inmates belong to the site or its content partners. You may not reproduce, distribute, republish, sell, alter, or create derivative works from those materials without prior written permission from the applicable rights holder.

Updates to These Terms

These Terms & Conditions may be revised at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page. Continued use after posting means that you accept the updated provisions, so review this page from time to time.

Suspension or Loss of Access

Access to all or part of the site may be restricted, suspended, or terminated at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice. This right includes action taken to protect the service, enforce these terms, or prevent conduct that could harm users or systems.

Ohio Law Controls

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute connected with these terms or use of the site must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction located in Ohio.

If One Provision Is Invalid

If a court finds any provision invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be adjusted only as much as necessary to make it enforceable or will be severed if adjustment is not possible. Every remaining provision will continue in full force.
