Terms & Conditions

Using this site means you accept these terms. If you disagree with any condition, do not continue to use the site.

This privately owned site is not affiliated with any government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. It helps readers find Dorchester County and Maryland custody-record resources. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides private-investigation or consumer-reporting services, including services for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant decisions.


Nature of the Service

This is an independent reference site with no government connection. It stores no official records and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, or file a document.

Its pages point to Dorchester County inmate and jail resources and may connect visitors with outside research tools.


Acceptable Use Rules

Visitors must use the site lawfully and respectfully. You agree that you will:

  • Obey all applicable laws.
  • Not stalk, threaten, or harass anyone.
  • Not use content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
  • Not seek unauthorized access.
  • Not run automated bots or scrapers.
  • Not disrupt another visitor's access.

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It and its ad partners do not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. You agree not to use any information for:

  • Hiring or termination decisions.
  • Tenant or housing screening.
  • Creditworthiness or insurance pricing.
  • Licensing, permits, or government-benefit eligibility.
  • Any other purpose governed by the FCRA.

Third-Party Destinations

Links may lead to rosters, feeds, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal-aid resources, or outside search tools. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control those sites, their data practices, or availability, so review their terms.


Service Provided As Is

The site and its content are provided "as is," without a promise of:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or currency.
  • Continuous availability.
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, or security flaws.
  • Complete results from partner tools.

Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement by a sheriff or government agency.


Limits of Liability

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


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend and hold the site harmless from claims and legal costs caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Dorchester County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, or distributed without written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

These terms may change at any time. A revised version takes effect when posted.


Suspension of Access

Access may be restricted or revoked at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.


Maryland Governing Law

Maryland law governs these terms. Any dispute must be filed in a court within Maryland.


Severability

If one term is found invalid, the remaining terms stay effective. The invalid term will be adjusted only as much as needed.
