Links to Outside Services

Links may lead to government portals, sheriff and corrections pages, legal resources, release-record systems, or outside search services. A link does not endorse the destination. We do not control its content, privacy practices, prices, data handling, availability, or results. Review the destination’s own terms before using it.


No Warranties

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, no warranty is made about accuracy, completeness, current status, uninterrupted operation, freedom from errors or security defects, or the scope of a partner result.

Custody status and public records change. Nothing on this site is an official statement from a sheriff, court, corrections agency, or other government office.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent Tennessee law permits, the site and its owners, operators, and partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from use of the site, inability to use it, reliance on content, or use of an outside service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site, its operators, and its partners harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use, misuse, or breach of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Site text, graphics, logos, arrangement, and code belong to Smith County Released Inmates or its content partners unless stated otherwise. You may not copy, distribute, publish, or modify protected materials without written permission.


Changes to These Terms

We may revise these conditions at any time. New terms take effect when posted, and continued use after publication signals acceptance.


Access May Be Revoked

We may limit, suspend, or terminate access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Tennessee Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Tennessee.


Severability

If a court finds one part invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. The affected part will be limited or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
