Third-Party Links and Affiliates
The Site may link to third-party resources, retailers, and manufacturers of rain barrels, diverters, and composters.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, reliability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid (if any) to access the Site during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. To the extent permitted by law, you agree to attempt informal resolution by contacting us before pursuing formal dispute mechanisms.
