Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions set the rules for using Champaign County Busted Mugshots. By accessing the pages or tools, a visitor agrees to these terms. Anyone who does not accept them should stop using the service.

Champaign County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and is not connected with any government agency, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this service nor its advertising partners provides FCRA-covered services. The pages point toward Champaign County and Illinois public-record resources; they are not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.


What the Service Is

This is a private reference service. It does not store official jail rosters, booking records, police reports, or court files, and it cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a document.

The pages organize links to the Champaign County Sheriff, city police departments, Circuit Clerk, IDOC, federal locators, legal resources, news outlets, and outside search tools. Those organizations control their own records, access rules, privacy practices, uptime, and corrections.


Rules for Acceptable Use

Use the pages only in a lawful and respectful manner. A visitor must not:

  • Break a law or encourage another person to do so
  • Stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or endanger another person
  • Use information from the service to make a prohibited decision about another person
  • Attempt unauthorized access to the pages, tools, hosting, or another user's information
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated collection systems without written permission
  • Interfere with availability, security, or another visitor's use

Consumer Reporting Limits

Champaign County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not prepare consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks, and neither the service nor its ad partners offers screening services.

Information from these pages must not be used for any FCRA-covered purpose, including hiring or firing decisions, employment, housing or tenant screening, creditworthiness, insurance premiums, licensing or permits, government-program eligibility, or another decision regulated by the FCRA.


Outside Links and Tools

The service links to jail rosters, booking reports, Sheriff and police websites, court and government portals, legal-aid resources, federal locators, news sites, and outside search services. A link is provided for navigation and does not endorse the destination, its content, its data practices, or its availability.

Visitors should read the destination's own terms and privacy notice. Search partners can set their own prices and may collect information under their separate rules.


No Warranties

All material is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, no warranty is made that information will be:

  • Accurate, complete, current, or free from mistaken identity
  • Available without interruption
  • Free of bugs, errors, harmful code, or security weaknesses
  • Complete in the results supplied by a partner search tool

Custody status and public records change. Nothing on these pages is an official statement from the Champaign County Sheriff, a city police department, a court, IDOC, or another government agency.


Limit on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Champaign County Busted Mugshots and the people who operate it are not liable for damages, losses, claims, costs, or expenses arising from access to, inability to access, or use of the pages, tools, information, or linked services.


Indemnification

A visitor agrees to defend and hold harmless Champaign County Busted Mugshots, its operators, and its content partners from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising from the visitor's use of the service, violation of these terms, violation of law, or harm caused to another person.


Ownership and Permission

Unless another owner is identified, the text, graphics, logos, page design, and code belong to Champaign County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. No one may copy, republish, distribute, sell, modify, or create a derivative work from those materials without written permission, except for rights provided by law.


Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A new version takes effect when posted. Continued access after posting a change indicates acceptance of the revised terms.


Access May End

Access to any part of the service may be limited, suspended, or blocked at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. A restriction can apply to a person, device, network, tool, or automated request.


Illinois Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be brought in a court located in Illinois unless applicable law requires another forum.


Severability

If a court finds a provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable while preserving its intended purpose.
