Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of Madison County Court Docket. Visiting a page, reading its content, or using a search feature signifies agreement to them. If you disagree, you must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. Madison County Court Docket is privately owned and has no connection to a court or local, Indiana, or federal government agency. Neither this website nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance screening, or another Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) purpose. This resource helps visitors locate Madison County, Indiana docket and case-record sources. It is neither a private-investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site, independent of every court and government office. It neither stores official court records nor can retrieve a file, submit documents, or alter a hearing date.

Its purpose is to direct readers to the Madison County Clerk, the six divisions of the Madison County Unified Circuit Court, Indiana MyCase, and appropriate city-court or outside research tools.

2. Informational Use Only

The material is general information about Madison County dockets and case records. It cannot replace an official docket, a court order, or advice from counsel. Begin research here, but verify material facts with the Madison County Clerk or the court holding the case.

3. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:

  • Decide whether to hire or fire someone
  • Screen potential renters or housing applicants
  • Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
  • Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
  • Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules

If you need a background check for any of those purposes, use an FCRA-compliant screening company.

5. No Legal Advice

Nothing here constitutes legal advice. Although the site describes Madison County court dockets, it cannot interpret a charge, order, deadline, or case for you. Consult an Indiana-licensed attorney for advice.

6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed

Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that:

  • The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
  • The site will stay up and running without interruptions
  • Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
  • Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Dockets change constantly - cases are filed, hearings are set, settings get reset, and matters are sealed, dismissed, or amended. We try to keep up, but gaps are unavoidable. Nothing on this site should be treated as an official statement from a court or clerk. Always verify a docket entry or court date with the court that holds the case before you rely on it.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

We link to clerk of court sites, trial court portals, statewide case-search systems, legal aid organizations, and outside search services across this site. Clicking one of those links moves you off our platform and onto one we have no control over. We are not responsible for their content, how they handle data, what they charge, or whether their site stays online. Check their terms before using them.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code on this website belong to Madison County Court Docket or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, modified, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that come from using this site - including decisions made based on information found here or through any linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to hold us harmless from any claim, legal action, or demand that stems from how you used this site or from breaking these terms. That includes covering our legal fees and related costs.

11. Governing Law

Indiana law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of this website must be brought in a court located in Indiana. Access to Indiana court records is governed principally by the Indiana Rules on Access to Court Records, including Rules 4 and 5; the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, Indiana Code 5-14-3, applies to other qualifying public records. Those authorities do not convert this private website into a government record custodian.

12. Changes to These Terms

We can update these terms whenever we see fit. New terms go into effect the moment they appear on this page.
