Terms & Conditions

Using Franklin County Busted Mugshots means accepting these Terms & Conditions. If you do not accept them, do not use the site or its search tools. The site is a private reference resource, not a government service or a source of official records.

Franklin County Busted Mugshots has no government affiliation. Neither this site nor its advertising or search partners offers FCRA-covered services. Do not use site information for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another purpose regulated by the FCRA.


What the Site Is

This is a privately operated reference site that points visitors toward county, North Carolina, court, and custody resources. It stores no official jail roster, court file, or agency database and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, file a court document, or create a record that an office does not maintain.

The site may describe the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, led by Sheriff Kevin White, Franklin County Detention Complex, NC DAC, NC Portal, federal locators, and local news so a reader can choose the right source. Links and explanations do not create an agency relationship or an endorsement.


Acceptable Use

Visitors agree to use the site lawfully and with respect for other people:

  • Do not break a law or violate another person’s rights while using the pages.
  • Do not stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or target a person based on site content.
  • Do not use the information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, licensing, or another prohibited screening decision.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized entry into the site, its servers, or a partner’s system.
  • Do not run bots, scrapers, or automated requests that burden or copy the service.
  • Do not disrupt availability for other visitors.

FCRA Boundary

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not prepare consumer reports, credit reports, or background reports, and neither it nor its advertising partners provides screening services. Users agree not to use site content for hiring or firing, tenant or housing decisions, creditworthiness, insurance premiums, licensing or permits, government-program eligibility, or any other FCRA-covered purpose.


External Links and Search Tools

The pages link to FCSO, the Franklin County Detention Complex, NC DAC, NC Portal, BOP, ICE, newspapers, municipal departments, and outside search services. Those destinations control their own content, uptime, security, pricing, and data practices. A link is provided for navigation and is not a guarantee, endorsement, or promise that the destination will remain available.

Search boxes may send a query to a third-party provider. Review that provider’s terms before using it or paying for a service.


No Warranties

The site is supplied “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, no promise is made that information is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, free of errors, or thorough. Custody status, court records, phone numbers, fees, and public pages can change. Nothing here is an official statement from FCSO, a city police department, a court, NC DAC, or another government agency.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent North Carolina law allows, Franklin County Busted Mugshots and the people or providers involved in operating it are not liable for losses, claims, or damages arising from access to or use of the site, a search result, an external link, an outage, or reliance on an explanation. Some jurisdictions limit these exclusions, so any required exception remains in effect.


Indemnification

A user agrees to protect and hold harmless the site and its owners, workers, and providers from claims, costs, damages, and reasonable legal fees arising from that user’s use of the site, violation of these terms, unlawful conduct, or harm caused to another person.


Ownership of Site Materials

Text, graphics, logos, layout, and code used by Franklin County Busted Mugshots belong to the site or its content partners unless a different owner is identified. Do not copy, distribute, modify, sell, or republish them without written permission or a lawful license.


Changes and Access

These terms may be revised at any time. A new version applies when posted. Access may also be limited, suspended, or revoked without notice for any reason, including misuse, excessive automated traffic, or conduct that threatens the service or another visitor.


North Carolina Law

These terms are governed by the laws of North Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes should be brought in a court located in North Carolina unless applicable law requires another forum.


Severability and Questions

If a court finds one part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts stay in effect. The affected wording should be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable. Questions about these terms may be sent through the Contacts page.
