Data Accuracy and Verification

RateWatt aggregates and reformats information that originates from public government agencies, regulatory filings, and other openly available sources. While we take reasonable steps to ingest, normalize, and refresh this data, upstream records may contain clerical errors, lag behind real-world changes, or omit relevant context. You are solely responsible for verifying any fact that influences a legal, medical, financial, educational, safety, or similarly consequential decision. Cross-reference the official source before acting on anything you read here.

Acceptable Use

You may browse, read, cite, and share RateWatt content. The files published through the RateWatt data library may be downloaded and reused under the stated CC BY 4.0 compilation license, with attribution to RateWatt and the named EIA source. Automated scraping outside those documented download endpoints, bypassing rate limits or security controls, misrepresenting the records, or removing source and license notices is not permitted.

Plain-Language Editorial Role

RateWatt combines raw public data with plain-language summaries, explainers, and comparisons. Narrative sections are generated from official source data and checked back against that source before publication. We do not modify the underlying numbers or filings, those are loaded directly from the upstream source. If you spot a summary that misreads the data, please email the correction link on our contact page.

Intellectual Property

The underlying EIA facts surfaced on RateWatt are U.S. government public-domain data. RateWatt's normalized downloadable compilations are offered under CC BY 4.0 as labelled on each dataset page. The site design, layout, navigation structure, original editorial copy and visual presentation remain copyrighted RateWatt work and are not included in that dataset license.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes in our data sources, product features, legal environment, or advertising relationships. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, when appropriate, surface a brief notice on the homepage. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically.

Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the jurisdiction in which RateWatt is domiciled, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to your use of RateWatt will first be addressed through good-faith informal negotiation. If that fails, both parties agree to resolve the dispute in the courts with jurisdiction over RateWatt's principal place of business. Nothing in these terms limits your statutory consumer-protection rights under applicable local law.

Legal Notices

For formal legal notices, DMCA takedown requests, subpoenas, law-enforcement requests, or correspondence regarding these terms, email legal@ratewatt.com. General questions, data corrections, and feedback should use the contact page so they are seen promptly.
