made us do this...
Not unlike most people, we do not like reading the fine print.
Unfortunately running a business means you need to have some legal
notices about what you do and how you want things protected
available for the public to read. With hope of obviating any
situation where RH ANDERSEN's proprietary documentation,
information, logos or recognized trademarks are used without
permission or with mal-intent, we are posting a statement of
Copyright and our Privacy Policy.

constitute the entire agreement between you and RH

any prior agreements between you and RH ANDERSEN on the subject
matter (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the

and only to the extent, that any terms set forth in this Terms of
Use expressly contradicts any terms of a prior written agreement
between you and RH ANDERSEN in effect as of the date of your use of

("Executed Agreement"), such contradictory terms set forth in the
Executed Agreement shall govern. You also may be subject to
additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use other RH

must not assign or otherwise transfer the Terms of Use nor any right
granted hereunder.
Connecticut laws and
controlling U.S. federal law govern any action related to the Terms

The failure of
RH ANDERSEN to exercise or enforce any right or
provision of the Terms of Use does not constitute a waiver of such
right or provision. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any
provision of the Terms of Use to be invalid, the parties
nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to
the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other
provisions of the Terms of Use remain in full force and effect.
Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause
of action arising out of or related to use of the website or the
Terms of Use must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or
cause of action arose or be forever barred. The section titles in
