Terms of Use

Important! Please read this: These Terms and Conditions of Use (Terms of Use) impose restrictions and obligations on you, and also limit the liability of the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority (RWA) to you in the event that you are harmed in any way by accessing, viewing or using the Internet-accessible content and services under the RWATER.COM domain or any of the RWA’s successor websites (collectively referred to as the Website). Please read the following terms and conditions and our Privacy Policy carefully. BY ACCESSING, VIEWING OR USING THE WEBSITE, YOU INDICATE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND FULLY ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF USE AND THAT THEY ARE BINDING BETWEEN YOU AND THE RWA. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU SHOULD NOT ACCESS, VIEW OR USE THE WEBSITE IN ANY MANNER.

The RWA reserves the right to change these Terms of Use at any time by posting new Terms of Use at this location. It is your responsibility to periodically check these Terms of Use for changes. Your use of the Website is governed at all times by the then-current Terms of Use. Your continued use of the Website following any changes to these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such changes.

1. Your Conduct and Use of the Website  

You agree that you will not use the Website content or services for any purpose that is unlawful or contrary to these Terms of Use. You may not use the Website content or services in any manner that could damage, disable or impair the content or services, or in any way infringe upon or damage the reputation or public image of the RWA. Further, your use of this Website and its content must not create a public or private impression that is counter to the goals, business purpose and legal requirements of the RWA. 

In using the Website, you may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, computer system or network associated with the Website. You acknowledge that if you do any of these things, it may constitute a felony under Connecticut General Statutes, Section 53-451.

2. Third-Party Websites, Content, Products and Services  

a. The Website may display links to third-party websites. The RWA has not independently confirmed the completeness, accuracy or availability of those third-party websites. You agree that the RWA is not responsible for the availability of, and content provided on, third-party websites. You should refer to the policies posed by the other website regarding privacy and terms of use before you use them.

b. If you choose to use content, utilize services or purchase products from a third party, your relationship is directly with the third party, and the RWA is not responsible for any of the third-party products or services. In addition, a link to a non-RWA website does not mean that the RWA endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content or the use of such website.

c. No permission is hereby granted to you to link from any other website to any portion of the Website, or to frame any content contained on the Website without the RWA’s prior written permission.   

d. It is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever you select for your use is free of items such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other items of a destructive nature. The fact that a third party provides a link to the Website will not in any way be or imply an endorsement, agency, joint venture or similar relationship between the RWA and any such third party. No user or third party is authorized to use any software, bots, spiders or other information-gathering devices or programming routines to monitor, copy or otherwise "mine" information displayed on the Website for display on or use with any website or service other than search engines. Further, we request that you do not “deep link” to interior pages on the Website. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE POLICIES OF OTHER WEBSITES LINKED TO THE WEBSITE MAY BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THESE TERMS OF USE, ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO THE USE AND COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION AND WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION POSTED ON THAT WEBSITE.
