TERMS OF USE
A Clear and Caring Understanding
We want our information to be helpful and easy to explore. These terms explain the limits of an educational resource and the importance of official guidance.

A SHARED UNDERSTANDING
Using AirAndWater.win
We welcome visitors who want to learn about the air, water, and communities around them.
Effective date: November 6, 2026
Welcome to AirAndWater.win. These Terms of Use explain the conditions for using our website, location search, air-quality and drinking-water information, guides and related services. By using AirAndWater.win, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
1. Our services
AirAndWater.win provides free, educational information to help visitors explore outdoor air quality and public drinking-water information for U.S. locations, together with guides and links to official sources. We may update, improve, change or discontinue features at any time.
2. Accuracy and data sources
Our information comes from public sources, including U.S. EPA AirNow and its reporting agencies, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Information System (through ECHO) and the U.S. Census Bureau. Air-quality observations are preliminary and may change; forecasts can be wrong; drinking-water records describe historical compliance and annual reports, not live tap-water tests. A city or ZIP code area cannot identify the conditions at a specific address or confirm which water system serves a particular home, and where local information is not available we may show the closest available place, clearly labelled.
We work to present information accurately, but we do not guarantee that every result is complete, current, accurate or uninterrupted.
3. Not medical, safety or professional advice
AirAndWater.win is not an emergency, medical, legal, engineering, water-testing or regulatory advisory service. For health concerns, consult a qualified professional. Always follow current instructions and advisories from public health authorities, your water utility and emergency services; in an emergency, contact your local emergency number.
4. Permitted use
You may use AirAndWater.win for lawful personal, educational and business purposes and share links to our pages. You may not disrupt or overload the website, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with its security, or use automated systems to collect content or data in ways that unreasonably burden the website.

6. Third-party websites, services and advertising
We link to and rely on third-party services such as government data providers, website hosting and font delivery. We do not control their content, availability or practices.

Advertisements are clearly identified and kept separate from our environmental information, and we do not endorse advertised products or services.
7. Privacy
How we handle information, including location and technical information, is described in our Privacy Policy.
8. Availability
We aim to keep the website dependable, but availability may be affected by maintenance, technical failures, internet connectivity, third-party services or circumstances outside our control. We cannot guarantee uninterrupted access to any feature or page.
9. Disclaimer and limitation of liability
AirAndWater.win is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim warranties not expressly stated and are not responsible for losses arising from inaccurate or delayed information, service interruptions, technical failures or reliance on the website’s results.
