Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions govern use of Hardy County Released Inmates and its reference material, links, and partner tools. By visiting or using the site, you agree to follow them. If you do not accept every term, stop using the service. The rules apply to all pages, including guidance about PHRJCF, Hardy County offices, WVDCR records, parole and probation, VINE, and federal custody sources.

Hardy County Released Inmates is privately owned and is not affiliated with any government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. The site is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. It only helps visitors locate inmate, jail, release, court, and supervision resources for Hardy County, West Virginia.


Nature of This Service

This is a private reference, not an official records office. It stores no WVDCR roster, PHRJCF release record, Hardy court file, VINE event, BOP record, or ICE record. It cannot confirm custody, order or arrange a release, post bond, file a public-record request for a visitor, or change an agency record.

The service points to public agencies and selected third-party research tools. Access to West Virginia government records is controlled by the responsible custodian and applicable law, including the request rules in West Virginia Code §29B-1-3 and exemptions in §29B-1-4, not by these Terms.


Acceptable Use Rules

Use the site only for lawful, respectful purposes and in a way that does not interfere with other visitors or the service.

  • Do not use the site while committing or promoting an unlawful act.
  • Do not stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass any person with information found here.
  • Do not use content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another eligibility decision.
  • Do not attempt to gain access to accounts, servers, code, or data without permission.
  • Do not operate bots, scrapers, or bulk collection tools against the service.
  • Do not overload, damage, disable, or disrupt access for others.

No Consumer Reports

Hardy County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It offers no background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening service, and neither do its advertising partners through this site. You agree not to use site content or linked search results for any purpose governed by the FCRA, including:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or another employment decision
  • Tenant selection, housing access, or lease decisions
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance rates and coverage
  • Licensing, permits, benefits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other decision treated as an FCRA-covered purpose

Links and Outside Providers

Pages may link to sheriff, corrections, court, release-record, legal-aid, federal locator, and outside search services. A link is offered for convenience and does not endorse the destination. Hardy County Released Inmates does not control an outside provider’s content, record coverage, prices, privacy practices, security, or uptime. Review the destination’s terms before submitting information or paying for a service.


Service Provided As Is

The site, its text, and its functions are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, no express or implied warranty is made about:

  • The accuracy, completeness, or currentness of any detail
  • Continuous or uninterrupted availability
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, malicious code, or security flaws
  • The scope or quality of a partner’s search results

Custody status, court dockets, office contacts, and public search data can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement from the Hardy County Sheriff, PHRJCF, WVDCR, the West Virginia Judiciary, or a federal agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hardy County Released Inmates and its owners, contributors, and service providers are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, use of, inability to use, or reliance on the site or an outside resource.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Hardy County Released Inmates, its owners, contributors, and service providers from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees that arise from your use of the site, your conduct, or your violation of these Terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Original text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Hardy County Released Inmates or the applicable content partner. You may not copy, republish, distribute, sell, modify, or create derivative material from protected site content without prior written permission, except where law expressly permits the use.


Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time. A new version becomes effective when it is posted on this page. Continued use after posting means you accept the revised Terms.


Restriction or Loss of Access

We may limit, suspend, or terminate access to all or part of the service at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice. This right does not limit any other remedy available under these Terms or applicable law.


West Virginia Law Applies

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of West Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute that must be filed in court shall be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in West Virginia.


If One Term Is Invalid

If a court finds any part of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that part will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it valid or will be severed. Every remaining provision will continue in effect.
