Terms and Conditions

Using Lincoln County Busted Mugshots means accepting these terms. Do not use the site if you do not agree with them.

This is a privately owned reference site with no government, sheriff, jail, or corrections affiliation. Neither this site nor its advertising partners supplies consumer reports or FCRA-covered services. Information may not be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.


Nature of the Service

Lincoln County Busted Mugshots is not a government records system. It does not store official booking files, confirm custody, release a person, or file documents. It points visitors toward WVDCR, agency, court, and third-party research resources for Lincoln County and West Virginia.


Acceptable Use

Use the site lawfully and responsibly. Do not stalk, harass, threaten, attempt unauthorized access, use bots or scraping tools, disrupt access for others, or use information for a prohibited decision-making purpose.


FCRA Restriction

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site and its partners do not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. You agree not to use information here for hiring, firing, housing or tenant decisions, creditworthiness, insurance pricing, licenses, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other FCRA-covered purpose.


Links and Outside Tools

Links may open public-agency resources, custody locators, court portals, or commercial search services. Those operators control their own content, availability, pricing, security, and privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.


No Warranties

The site is offered as is and as available. We do not warrant accuracy, completeness, currency, uninterrupted access, error-free operation, security, or the thoroughness of any partner result. Custody status and public records can change without notice, and only the originating office can provide an official statement.


Liability and Indemnity

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of or inability to use the site. You agree to defend and hold the site harmless from claims, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use or violation of these terms.


Site Materials

The site’s text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Lincoln County Busted Mugshots or its licensors. They may not be copied, distributed, or changed without written permission.


Changes and Access

We may revise these terms or limit, suspend, or revoke access at any time, with or without notice. Updated terms are effective when posted.


West Virginia Law

These terms are governed by West Virginia law. Disputes must be brought in a court located in West Virginia. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be adjusted only as needed and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
