IV. Terms of the Rebate

This agreement expires in three calendar months. The three-month term begins the day after the SNWA representative signs the agreement and ends at 5:00 p.m. on the first business day after three calendar months have elapsed. Once SNWA has been notified of completion, any wait for a final inspection is not counted against your three-month term.
Only one incentive payment may be received under this agreement.
If a Smart controller includes the ability to detect rain as an integrated feature of the product, only an incentive for the Smart controller will be issued.
For Smart controllers, SNWA will pay $40 per active valve, 50% of the actual cost of the new controller(s) or 50% of the manufacturer’s list price of the new controller(s), whichever is less.
For Rain Sensors, SNWA will pay $25 per rain sensor, 50% of the actual cost of the rain sensor(s) or 50% of the manufacturer’s list price of the rain sensor(s), whichever is less.
Taxes, installation fees, service charges and other costs cannot be rebated. You must provide a copy of an itemized receipt or invoice to prove the purchase price and, if applicable, the one-year service commitment. Receipts and contracts pre-dating this agreement are ineligible. The incentive will be issued as a check to the property owner or owner’s legally appointed representative.
If the installation fails final inspection you will be allowed 30 days or the remainder of the three month period, whichever is greater, to comply with the program conditions.
The new controller(s) and/or rain sensor(s) must remain in place for no less than one year from receipt of the incentive. This requirement is void upon transfer of property ownership. You may be required to refund the rebate if this requirement is violated.
SNWA enforces only the conditions of this agreement and makes no warranty of the suitability or performance of the products or their installation. The applicant is responsible for complying with all applicable laws, policies, codes and covenants. Rebates may be considered taxable income.
