Terms for Using This Reference

By using this privately operated reference, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. These terms govern the website, not the official Richland County, state, or federal systems linked from it.

This is a private reference with no affiliation to a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this service nor its advertising partners provides consumer reports, credit reports, or other FCRA-covered services. We are not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency, and the service may not be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or other FCRA-regulated purposes.


Private Reference Only

We identify routes to Richland County custody, court, and records resources. We do not store official records, confirm custody, release a person, submit documents, or act for a government agency. Independent search tools may be available, but each is operated under its own terms.


Acceptable Use Rules

Use the service lawfully and with respect for others.

  • Do not violate a law or another person's rights.
  • Do not use information to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm anyone.
  • Do not use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or any other prohibited FCRA-covered purpose.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access to this service or a linked system.
  • Do not use bots, scrapers, or other automated extraction tools without permission.
  • Do not interfere with access for other visitors.

FCRA Prohibited Uses

The service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, consumer reports, credit reports, or screening services, and neither its partners nor advertisers may be treated as doing so through this service.

  • Employment or firing decisions
  • Tenant or housing evaluations
  • Creditworthiness or insurance-premium decisions
  • Licensing, permit, or public-program eligibility decisions
  • Any other use regulated by the FCRA

External Resources

Links may lead to official jail lookups, courts, sheriff or corrections pages, legal resources, and third-party tools. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control another site's content, privacy practices, availability, pricing, or records, and visitors should review that site's own terms before using it.


No Warranties

The service is supplied “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant accuracy, completeness, currency, uninterrupted access, security, error-free operation, or the completeness of any partner's search results.

Custody status, fees, addresses, filings, and public-record access can change. Nothing here is an official statement by the Richland County Sheriff's Department, ASGDC, a court, or another public agency.


Liability Limit

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses or damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on this service or a linked resource.


Your Indemnity

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the service or your breach of these terms.


Our Content Rights

The service's text, graphics, logo, design, and code belong to Richland County Busted Mugshots or its content partners and may not be copied, distributed, altered, or republished without written permission.


Term Changes

We may revise these terms at any time. Revised terms apply when posted, so continued use after posting means you accept the revision.


Access Controls

We may restrict, suspend, or end access to the service at any time, with or without notice, including where we believe these terms have been violated.


South Carolina Law

These terms are governed by the laws of South Carolina. Any dispute must be brought in courts located within South Carolina, subject to applicable law.


Severability

If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective. The affected provision will be adjusted only to the extent needed to make it enforceable where possible.
