Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to Madison County Busted Mugshots, a privately operated reference resource about public record paths in Madison County, North Carolina. By using the pages, a visitor agrees to these terms. Anyone who does not accept them should stop using the resource. The terms do not create an agency relationship with Madison County, a sheriff, a police department, a court, or a corrections office.

Madison County Busted Mugshots is private and has no government affiliation. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Neither this resource nor its advertising partners supplies an FCRA-covered service.

What the Resource Is

The pages provide general reference information and links to the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, town police departments, courts, North Carolina DAC, federal locators, archives, news sources, and third-party tools. The resource stores no official booking roster, court file, or government database. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, file a record request, or give legal advice.

Government pages can change without notice. Verify a record, fee, address, phone number, custody status, and filing method with the originating office.

Acceptable Use

Use the pages lawfully and with respect for other people. A visitor must not:

  • Use the resource to break any law or violate an order.
  • Stalk, harass, threaten, shame, or intimidate another person.
  • Use published material to make decisions about hiring, firing, housing, tenants, lending, insurance, licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility.
  • Attempt unauthorized access to the pages, servers, accounts, or linked systems.
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools against the resource.
  • Disrupt availability or interfere with another visitor’s use.

Access can be blocked when these rules are violated or when abuse threatens the service.

FCRA Restrictions

This resource is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not prepare background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening products, and neither do its advertising partners through this resource. Information may not be used for an FCRA-covered purpose.

  • Hiring, promotion, discipline, or firing decisions.
  • Tenant or housing screening.
  • Credit, lending, or insurance decisions and premiums.
  • Licensing, permits, or eligibility for a government program.
  • Any other use regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Links and Tools

Links may lead to jail or sheriff pages, police departments, court portals, state and federal locators, archives, news outlets, legal resources, and third-party search tools. Their content, privacy practices, fees, results, security, and uptime are outside Madison County Busted Mugshots’ control. A link is not an endorsement. Read the destination’s terms before submitting information or paying a fee.

No Warranty

The resource and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that the information is accurate, complete, current, secure, uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful code. No promise is made about the thoroughness of a partner search result.

  • Custody status and public records can change.
  • Third-party pages can be delayed, incomplete, or incorrectly matched.
  • A booking charge is an accusation, not a conviction.
  • Nothing here is an official statement from a sheriff, police department, court, or corrections agency.

Liability Limit

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Madison County Busted Mugshots and the people who operate it are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access to or use of the resource, linked pages, search tools, or information.

Indemnification

A user agrees to defend and hold harmless Madison County Busted Mugshots, its operators, and its partners from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from the user’s access, conduct, violation of these terms, or misuse of information.

Ownership and Permission

Text, page design, graphics, logos, and code used by Madison County Busted Mugshots belong to the resource or its content partners unless another owner is identified. Copying, selling, distributing, modifying, or republishing them requires written permission, except where law allows it.

Changes and Access

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision takes effect when posted. Access may also be limited, suspended, or revoked at any time and for any reason, with or without notice.

North Carolina Law

North Carolina law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be brought in a court located in North Carolina unless applicable law requires another forum.

Severability

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

Questions About Terms

Questions about these terms may be sent through the Contact Us page. Questions about custody, a booking record, a court file, or a government fee should go directly to the responsible Madison County or North Carolina office.
