Terms of Use

Using Burke County Busted Mugshots means accepting these terms. If these conditions are not acceptable, do not use the pages or tools. The terms apply to this private reference service and do not replace the rules of any linked government office or search provider.

Burke County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and has no affiliation with a Sheriff, jail, police department, corrections agency, or other government body. Neither this service nor its advertising partners supplies services covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It points readers toward inmate and jail-record resources in Burke County and North Carolina; it is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Service

This is a reference service. It stores no official jail, booking, or court records and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, or file a document. It describes public sources such as the Burke Sheriff Police to Citizen catalogs, municipal records, the North Carolina courts, NCDAC, BOP, and ICE. Outside search tools have their own operators and rules.


Acceptable Use

Access must be lawful and must not harm another person or interfere with the service. Users agree to:

  • Follow all applicable law while viewing or using the pages.
  • Never stalk, harass, threaten, or target another person.
  • Never use the information for hiring, firing, housing, lending, insurance, or another regulated decision.
  • Never attempt unauthorized access to the service or its providers.
  • Never deploy bots, scrapers, or automated collection against the pages.
  • Never disrupt availability or impair access for other readers.

FCRA Boundary

This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides screening services. Users agree not to use these pages or linked data for:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions
  • Tenant or housing screening
  • Creditworthiness or insurance-premium decisions
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other purpose governed by FCRA rules

Outside Links

Links may lead to rosters, booking feeds, Sheriff or corrections pages, courts, federal locators, legal resources, and outside search services. Burke County Busted Mugshots does not control their content, privacy practices, fees, uptime, or results. A link is not an endorsement. Review the destination’s terms before using it.


No Warranties

All material and tools are supplied “as is.” No warranty is made about accuracy, completeness, currency, uninterrupted access, absence of errors or security flaws, or the depth of a partner’s results. Custody status and public records change. Nothing here is an official statement by a Sheriff or government agency.


Liability Limit

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Burke County Busted Mugshots and its owners, partners, and contributors are not liable for damages arising from access to or use of the pages, tools, information, or linked services.


Indemnification

Users agree to defend and hold harmless Burke County Busted Mugshots and its owners, partners, and contributors from claims, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from the user’s conduct, use of the service, or violation of these terms.


Ownership and Permission

Text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Burke County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, altered, or republished without written permission, except where law permits.


Changes and Access

These terms may be revised at any time. New language takes effect when posted. Access may also be limited, suspended, or blocked at any time and without notice, including when conduct threatens the service or another reader.


North Carolina Law

These terms are governed by North Carolina law. Any dispute must be filed in a court located in North Carolina, to the extent the law permits that venue.


Severability and Questions

If a court finds one part invalid, the remaining terms stay in force. The affected language will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it valid. Questions about these terms may be sent through the Contact page.
