1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the ReleaseTrue website and calculator (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of the terms, then you may not access the Service.
2. Service Description
ReleaseTrue provides an informational calculator designed to estimate potential federal prison release dates based on user-provided information and general interpretations of the First Step Act (FSA) guidelines. The calculations are estimates and are provided for informational purposes only.
3. No Legal Advice
ReleaseTrue is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The information and calculations provided by the Service are not intended as legal advice or as a substitute for consultation with a qualified legal professional. Laws and regulations regarding sentencing and release are complex and subject to change. You should consult with a licensed attorney for advice regarding your specific situation. Reliance on any information provided by the Service is solely at your own risk.
4. Accuracy Disclaimer
While we strive to provide accurate estimates based on available guidelines, ReleaseTrue makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the calculations. Factors not included in the calculator, individual circumstances, changes in law or policy, and decisions by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) or courts can significantly affect actual release dates. The calculator relies on user input; inaccurate input will lead to inaccurate results. ReleaseTrue is not responsible for any errors or omissions, or for the results obtained from the use of this information.
5. Use of the Service
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use the Service:
- In any way that violates any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation.
- To transmit, or procure the sending of, any advertising or promotional material without our prior written consent.
- To impersonate or attempt to impersonate ReleaseTrue, a ReleaseTrue employee, another user, or any other person or entity.
- To engage in any other conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone's use or enjoyment of the Service, or which, as determined by us, may harm ReleaseTrue or users of the Service or expose them to liability.
6. Intellectual Property
The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of ReleaseTrue and its licensors.
7. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall ReleaseTrue, nor its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Service; (iii) any content obtained from the Service; and (iv) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence) or any other legal theory, whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage, and even if a remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
8. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will try to provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion. By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
