I agree to install the Equipment per RWS’s instructions and only use the Equipment for its stated purpose. I agree to follow and adhere to the requirements of C/CAG’s Rain Barrel Rebate Program regarding the use and installation of rain barrels and pertaining to the terms and conditions of the rebate program, provided at https://www.flowstobay.org/bulk-rain-barrel-program, if I apply for a rebate. I accept the Equipment in its “as is'' condition. I understand that it is my responsibility to contact and communicate with RWS via email at info@rainwatersolutions.com or phone at 919.835.1699 regarding any issues arising under any Equipment warranty provided by RWS, and that the cities and C/CAG have no responsibility for the RWS Equipment warranty or process.
