Terms & Conditions

These terms govern access to Eaton County Released Inmates and its links, search tools, and written material. They explain the private nature of the service, acceptable conduct, restricted uses, outside links, warranties, liability, ownership, and the law that applies. Using any part of the site means that you agree to follow every condition stated below. Review the terms before submitting a search or relying on a link. If you do not accept all of these conditions, do not browse, search, or otherwise use the site.

Eaton County Released Inmates is privately owned and is not affiliated with Eaton County, the Sheriff, any jail, Michigan courts, MDOC, or another government body. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant-screening decisions covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site helps visitors locate Eaton County, Michigan inmate and jail-record resources. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Service

This is a private reference site with no connection to a government office. It does not store official records and cannot confirm a person’s custody status, cause a release, accept a filing, change a case, or obtain a record on a visitor’s behalf.

The site points readers toward Eaton County Sheriff resources, Michigan corrections and court sources, and federal custody tools. Some search features connect visitors with outside research providers.


Acceptable Use Rules

Use the site lawfully and without interfering with other visitors or the systems that support it. You agree that you will not:

  • use the site while violating any law;
  • use information to stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass another person;
  • base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content;
  • try to enter an account, server, or system without permission;
  • operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools; or
  • damage, overload, or disrupt access for other visitors.

FCRA Use Is Prohibited

Eaton County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It does not supply background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. Its advertising partners do not provide those services through this site. You agree not to use any site data for an FCRA-covered decision, including:

  • hiring, firing, or another employment action;
  • tenant selection or housing screening;
  • creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing;
  • licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility; or
  • any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Links and Services

Links may lead to release-record sources, Sheriff and corrections websites, court and government portals, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. A link is provided for convenience, not as an endorsement. We do not control a destination’s content, data practices, prices, or availability. Review its terms and privacy notice before using it.


No Warranties

The site, its content, and linked features are provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty that:

  • information will be accurate, complete, or current;
  • access will be continuous or uninterrupted;
  • the site will be free of errors, defects, or security weaknesses; or
  • a partner search will return every relevant result.

Custody status, court events, and public records can change at any time. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Eaton County Sheriff, a court, MDOC, or another government agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Eaton County Released Inmates and its operators will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site or a linked service.


Your Indemnity Obligation

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Eaton County Released Inmates and its operators from claims, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your use of the site or your violation of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Eaton County Released Inmates or the content partners that supplied them. You may not copy, distribute, republish, or alter protected material without prior written permission from the applicable owner.


Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A new version becomes effective when it is posted on this page, so visitors should review the terms from time to time.


Suspension of Access

We may restrict, suspend, or end a visitor’s access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Michigan Governing Law

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


Severability

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