We have some general rules and ask that you please do not:

• post material that is unrelated to incidents and emergencies relevant to Unitywater.
• post comments that are abusive, aggressive, inflammatory, repetitive, offensive or inappropriate.
• publish messages or posts that encourage or suggest illegal activity.
• publish messages that infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights.
• promote or share commercial or other solicitations, advertisements or endorsements.
• publish or share comments not sent by the author and/or posted by anonymous or robot accounts.
• post or share unintelligible or irrelevant messages.

Followers may be blocked without notice if they do not comply with these Terms of Use. We may also block followers if:

• we consider communications to be from minors.

Replies and direct messages

We welcome feedback and comments from all of our followers and aim to join the conversation where possible. However, we reserve the right to refrain from replying and may be unable to respond to each post we receive.

We monitor all private messages, comments, replies and posts on our Facebook page, as well as comments on our LinkedIn posts. Where messages relate to a specific customer issue, we may direct these to our customer service team for action.

Relevancy

We ask followers to be respectful to each other and to Unitywater, and that you interact with us only about business operations, issues, incidents and emergencies relevant to Unitywater and our services. We reserve the right to remove or hide any content or comments that are deemed irrelevant to our social media posts, business operations or services.
