Effective date: July 9, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of How Safe Is My Water at howsafeismywater.com and your purchase of the report we provide (a per-ZIP report on the PFAS in your US tap water, read against the EPA's own limits). By using this site or buying a report, you agree to these Terms.
1. What you are buying
How Safe Is My Water sells a one-time informational report for $15. The report compiles and presents PFAS information for the ZIP and details you supply.
2. The report is an informational estimate, not professional advice
The report is provided for general informational purposes only. It is an estimate, not a professional service, and it is not, and must not be relied on as, professional, medical, legal, environmental, real-estate, or safety advice. It does not create any professional-client relationship. It is not a substitute for testing your own tap with an accredited laboratory, advice from a licensed physician about PFAS exposure, or advice from a qualified environmental or legal professional. Public water-system data reflects what a utility sampled and when; your own tap can differ. You are solely responsible for any decision you make, and you should consult an appropriately qualified professional before acting on anything in the report.
3. No warranty
The report and this site are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We draw on third-party and public data sources (including the EPA's UCMR 5 and NCOD datasets and state files) that may contain errors, gaps, or out-of-date figures, and we do not warrant that the report is accurate, complete, current, or fit for any particular purpose.
4. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, How Safe Is My Water, its operators, and its suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the site or the report. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to the report or these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid for the report ($15).
5. Refunds
Because the report is a digital product delivered immediately, refunds are provided for delivery failure. If your ZIP does not resolve to a public water system in our coverage, we refund automatically, no email needed. If you paid but did not receive your report, or the report could not be generated, or it does not match what we describe, email [email protected] within 30 days and we will re-deliver it or refund your purchase. If you believe a specific figure in your report is wrong, contact us, we will investigate and, where a delivery or generation fault is on our side, make it right.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to: resell, republish, or redistribute the report as your own product; scrape, bulk-download, or systematically extract content from the site; attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the site or its infrastructure; or use the site or report for any unlawful purpose. The report is licensed to you for your own personal or internal use.
7. Intellectual property
The site, its design, its text, and the report format are owned by How Safe Is My Water and protected by intellectual-property laws. Underlying public data referenced in the report belongs to its respective sources (the EPA, ATSDR, NSF International, and state agencies). We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the report you purchase for your own purposes.
8. Third-party services
Payments are processed by Stripe under Stripe's terms. Analytics are provided by Fathom Analytics. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services, though we choose them with your privacy in mind (see our Privacy Policy).
9. Not affiliated with any agency or seller
How Safe Is My Water is independent. We use the EPA's public data and cite EPA rules, but we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the US EPA, ATSDR, NSF International, any water utility, or any filter manufacturer or seller.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and, to the extent applicable, the state in which the operator of How Safe Is My Water is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute will be brought in the courts located there.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
