Terms & Conditions

These terms apply whenever you browse or use Steele County Released Inmates. Using the site means you agree to follow them.

This privately owned site has no tie to any government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a Fair Credit Reporting Act service for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant decisions. The site is a Steele County and Minnesota records reference, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Service

This is a private reference resource. It stores no official records and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, or file a request with a government office for you. Its pages point toward Steele County jail and release resources and may connect visitors with outside research tools.


Acceptable Use

You agree to use the site lawfully and without harming another person or the service. In particular, you may not:

  • Break a law through use of the site
  • Stalk, threaten, or harass another person
  • Use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another regulated decision
  • Attempt access to restricted systems or accounts
  • Run automated bots or scraping tools
  • Interfere with access for other visitors

No Consumer Reports

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither do our advertising partners. You agree not to use site information for:

  • Hiring, firing, or other employment choices
  • Tenant or housing decisions
  • Creditworthiness or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or public-benefit eligibility
  • Any other purpose governed by the FCRA

External Services

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections sites, release records, legal-aid resources, government portals, or outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control those services, their data practices, content, or availability. Review their own terms before use.


No Warranties

The site and its content are provided "as is." We make no warranty that:

  • Information will always be accurate, complete, or current
  • The service will remain available without interruption
  • Every error, defect, or security risk will be absent
  • A partner search will return every relevant record

Custody status and public records change often. Nothing here is an official statement from a sheriff or government agency.


Limits of Liability

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


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the service or breach of these terms.


Content Ownership

Unless stated otherwise, the site's text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Steele County Released Inmates or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, or modify them without written permission.


Changes and Access

We may update these terms at any time, with new terms effective when posted. Access may also be limited or revoked at any time and without prior notice.


Minnesota Law

Minnesota law governs these terms. Any dispute must be brought in a court within Minnesota.


Severability

If a court finds one part invalid, the remaining terms continue in effect. The invalid part will be narrowed only as much as needed.
