Terms & Conditions

Nature of This Website

This is a private reference guide, not a government records office. It does not store official records and cannot verify custody, release a person, or file a request or court document for a visitor.

The guides identify public Vigo County and Indiana resources, including the sheriff's current roster and APRA request route, as well as third-party research tools. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3, governs requests made to Indiana public agencies, not records held by this private site.

Acceptable Use Rules

• Use the website only in a lawful manner.
• Do not use information to stalk, intimidate, threaten, or harass anyone.
• Do not rely on site material for hiring, housing, lending, credit, or insurance decisions.
• Do not seek access to accounts, systems, or data without authorization.
• Do not deploy automated bots, crawlers, or scrapers against the site.
• Do not interfere with availability or another visitor's use.

No Consumer Reports

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We do not furnish background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports, and neither do our advertising partners. By using this site, you agree not to use its information for:

• Hiring, retention, promotion, or termination
• Tenant or housing screening
• Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
• Licensing, permits, or eligibility for government benefits
• Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

Outside Resources

Links may lead to JailTracker, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, legal-help materials, federal locators, news sources, and outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside site's content, privacy practices, data quality, terms, prices, or availability, and visitors should review those policies themselves.

Service Provided As Is

The website and its content are supplied "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, we make no warranty that:

• Information is accurate, complete, or current
• The website will operate without interruption
• The site will be free of errors, defects, or security weaknesses
• A partner search will return a complete or useful result

Custody, charges, court events, and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement by the sheriff, jail, court, or another public agency.

Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, this site and its operators will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive loss arising from access to, use of, or inability to use the website or linked services.

Your Duty to Indemnify

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

Ownership of Site Materials

Text, graphics, logos, and code on Vigo County Busted Mugshots belong to the site or its content partners unless otherwise stated. You may not copy, distribute, publish, modify, or create derivative works from them without written permission.

Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. The revised terms become effective when posted, and continued use after posting means that you accept them.

Suspension or Termination

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

Indiana Governing Law

Indiana law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Indiana.

Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.
