Terms & Conditions

Use of Clare County Released Inmates means that you accept these terms and conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the site. These terms apply to the privately operated reference pages, search-partner features, and links that direct visitors to Clare County, Michigan, federal, and other outside resources.

Clare County Released Inmates is privately owned and has no affiliation with a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers a service covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. The site is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm.


Nature of the Website

This is a private reference resource with no government authority. It does not store official Clare County Jail, court, or MDOC records. It cannot confirm a person’s custody, order a release, post bond, or file a request or court paper for a visitor.

The site organizes links and explanatory material for Clare County and Michigan inmate, jail, release, court, and supervision records. Some tools connect users with independent research providers.


Acceptable Use Rules

You agree to use the site lawfully and without harming people, systems, or other visitors.

  • Do not violate any law through your use of the site.
  • Do not use information to stalk, harass, threaten, or intimidate anyone.
  • Do not base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content.
  • Do not seek access to accounts, systems, or data without authorization.
  • Do not operate bots, automated scrapers, or similar collection tools.
  • Do not interfere with the site or prevent others from using it.

FCRA Uses Are Prohibited

Clare County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It supplies no background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening product, and its advertising partners do not provide those services through this site. You agree not to use site content for an FCRA-covered decision.

  • Hiring, firing, or other employment decisions
  • Housing or tenant screening
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

Links to Other Services

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections offices, release records, government portals, legal resources, and independent search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control those services, their content, privacy practices, availability, or data handling. Review each destination’s own terms before using it.


No Warranties

The site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty that:

  • Information is complete, accurate, or current
  • Access will always be continuous
  • The site will be free from errors, defects, or security flaws
  • A partner search will return complete or useful results

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement by the Clare County Sheriff’s Office, a court, MDOC, or another government agency.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Clare County Released Inmates and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, 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 site use, misuse of information, or breach of these terms.


Intellectual Property Rights

Unless another owner is identified, site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Clare County Released Inmates or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, republish, or commercially exploit that material without written permission.


Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A new version takes effect when posted on this page. Continued use after posting means that you accept the revised terms.


Suspension of Access

Access may be restricted, suspended, or ended at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice, including when use threatens the site or violates these terms.


Michigan Governing Law

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


Contract Severability

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