Terms & Conditions

These terms govern use of Pocahontas County Released Inmates and its links to public records resources. By using the site, you accept the conditions below. Stop using it if you do not agree.

This privately owned site has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers an FCRA-covered service for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening.


Nature of the Service

This is a private reference site with no connection to the Pocahontas County Sheriff, any jail, WVDCR, a court, the Parole Board, or another government body. It stores no official jail, release, inmate, or court records. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, file a document, or act for a user.

The pages point toward Pocahontas County and West Virginia records resources and may connect visitors with outside research tools. The site is not a private investigation firm and is not a consumer reporting agency.


Acceptable Use Rules

Use the site lawfully and in a way that does not harm people, systems, or other visitors. You agree that you will not:

  • break a local, state, or federal law;
  • stalk, threaten, harass, or target another person;
  • make hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or other FCRA-covered decisions from site information;
  • seek unauthorized access to any account, server, or service;
  • run bots, scrapers, or bulk collection tools; or
  • disrupt the site or prevent others from using it.

We may investigate apparent misuse and cooperate with a lawful government request when required.


No Consumer Reports

Pocahontas County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide credit reports, background checks, consumer reports, or screening services. Its advertising and search partners do not offer those services through this site.

You agree not to use information from these pages or linked tools for hiring or firing, tenant or housing screening, creditworthiness, insurance rates, licenses, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other decision regulated by the FCRA.


Links and Outside Services

Links may lead to release records, Sheriff and corrections sites, court portals, legal resources, federal locators, and independent search services. A link is provided for convenience and does not endorse the destination. We do not control an outside site’s content, privacy practices, prices, results, security, or uptime. Review its terms before using it.


No Warranties

The site and all content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no promise that information is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or suitable for a specific need. We also do not promise that a partner search will be complete.

Custody and public-record information changes quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from a Sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or federal agency. Verify a fact with the office that created the record.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site, its owners, and its content or service partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive harm arising from access, use, inability to use, reliance on content, or interaction with an outside service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend and hold the site, its owners, and its partners harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the site, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights.


Ownership of Site Material

Unless a different owner is identified, the site’s original text, graphics, logo, arrangement, and code belong to Pocahontas County Released Inmates or its content partners. You may not copy, republish, distribute, sell, or modify that material without written permission. Government records and linked agency materials remain subject to their own ownership and access rules.


Updates and Access

We may revise these terms at any time. A revision takes effect when posted. We may also suspend, limit, or revoke access at any time, for any lawful reason, without advance notice. Continued use after a posted change means acceptance of the updated terms.


West Virginia Law

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


Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected term will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it lawful and enforceable.


Questions About These Terms

Questions concerning these conditions may be submitted through the Contacts page. That contact route cannot supply government records or confirm a person’s custody status.
