Terms of Service

These terms govern access to Carteret County Released Inmates and use of its content, links, and partner tools. By continuing to use the site, you agree to them. If you do not accept these conditions, do not use the site.

This is a privately owned reference site with no affiliation to Carteret County, any government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers a consumer report or service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another FCRA-covered purpose. The site is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of This Service

Carteret County Released Inmates organizes public-agency routes for county jail releases, NCDAC offender information, custody notifications, supervision records, and related Carteret resources. It is independent of every office it names. The site does not hold an official roster or record and cannot verify custody, release a person, post bond, or file a request or court document for a visitor.

Links and optional outside research tools help visitors reach other services. Their operators remain responsible for their own data, terms, and results.

No Consumer Reporting Service

Carteret County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Its advertising and search partners do not offer screening services through this site. You agree not to use any site or linked-tool information for:

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

Links and Outside Services

The site links to Sheriff and NCDAC resources, release records, government portals, legal assistance, and outside search services. A link does not mean that we endorse the destination. We do not control its content, privacy practices, availability, data handling, or terms. Review the destination's rules before using it or submitting information.


Service Provided As Is

All content and access are provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty that:

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

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Carteret County Sheriff's Office, NCDAC, a court, or another government agency.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Carteret County Released Inmates and its owners, contributors, and service providers are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, use of, or inability to use the site, its content, or an outside service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, contributors, and service providers from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of another person's rights.


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless a source or license states otherwise, site text, original graphics, logos, page design, and code belong to Carteret County Released Inmates or its content partners. You may not reproduce, distribute, publish, modify, or create derivative works from those materials without prior written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. The updated terms become effective when posted on this page. Continued use after posting means that you accept the revised version.


Suspension or Termination

We may restrict, suspend, or end access to any part of the site at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice.


North Carolina Law

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


Severability

If a court finds any part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
