Terms & Conditions

Van Buren County Released Inmates is privately owned and has no government, sheriff, jail, or corrections affiliation. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers an FCRA-covered service. The site helps readers locate Michigan inmate and jail-record resources, but it is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Website

This is a private reference service. It does not store official records and cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a government document. It points readers to Van Buren County and Michigan record resources and may connect them with outside research tools.


Acceptable Use Rules

By using the site, you agree to act lawfully and avoid conduct that harms people, systems, or the service.

  • Do not break the law, stalk, harass, threaten, or intimidate anyone.
  • Do not use information for a hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decision.
  • Do not seek unauthorized access to accounts, servers, or data.
  • Do not use bots, scrapers, or automated extraction tools.
  • Do not disrupt the site or interfere with another visitor's access.

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide a background check, credit report, or consumer report. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides screening services. You agree not to use site information for any FCRA-covered purpose, including:

  • Hiring, firing, or another employment decision
  • Tenant selection or housing screening
  • Creditworthiness or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other decision regulated by the FCRA

Third-Party Links

The site links to release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal resources, and outside search services. A link does not mean that the destination is endorsed. This site is not responsible for an outside provider's content, privacy practices, terms, or uptime.


No Warranties

All content and functions are provided “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that:

  • Information is accurate, complete, or current
  • The site will remain continuously available
  • Software will be free of errors, bugs, or security flaws
  • A partner search will return a complete result

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement from the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office, MDOC, or another government agency.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, inability to use, or reliance on the site or a linked service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the service or violation of these terms.


Intellectual Property Rights

Site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Van Buren County Released Inmates or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, modified, or republished without written permission, except where the law permits.


Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.


Access May End

Access may be restricted, suspended, or revoked at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice.


Michigan Law Applies

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


Severability

If a court finds one part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in force. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
