Terms & Conditions

Use of Clay County Busted Mugshots is subject to these terms. If you do not agree with them, do not use the site.

This privately owned site is not affiliated with a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections agency. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers a consumer report or service for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or tenant screening. The site helps readers locate Clay County and Indiana public-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Website

Clay County Busted Mugshots is a private reference service. It keeps no official government records and cannot confirm custody, order release, or file a court or agency document.

Its pages point to jail, booking, court, correctional, and other public-record resources, and some pages connect visitors with outside research tools.


Acceptable Use

  • Do not use the site in violation of any law.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person.
  • Do not make hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or other eligibility decisions from site content.
  • Do not seek unauthorized access to the site or its systems.
  • Do not operate bots, automated scrapers, or similar collection tools.
  • Do not interfere with access or service for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It provides no credit report, background check, or consumer report, and neither it nor its advertising partners supplies screening services. You agree not to use information for hiring or firing, tenant or housing review, creditworthiness, insurance pricing, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.


Links and Outside Services

Links may lead to Sheriff and court systems, jail or booking resources, correctional and federal locators, legal information, and outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside site’s content, privacy practices, terms, availability, or data.


Provided As Is

The site is supplied “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant that its content is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, free from errors or security weaknesses, or that partner searches will be comprehensive.

Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement of the Sheriff, Clerk, court, or another government office.


Limits on Liability

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


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 site or violation of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless stated otherwise, the site’s text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Clay County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, republished, or distributed without written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. The revised version takes effect when posted on this page.


Suspension of Access

We may restrict or end access at any time, for any lawful reason, and without advance notice.


Indiana Law Controls

Indiana law governs these terms, including applicable provisions of Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3, where public records are discussed. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Indiana.


If One Term Fails

If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited only as much as necessary. Every remaining provision stays in effect.
