out of 100. Number 428 of 512, counting from the worst.
Where Rockwell Automation does well
- Arbitration 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Renewals 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- No forced arbitration clause: disputes go to the state and federal courts in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, not a private arbitrator.
- The privacy policy states plainly 'we do not sell personal data' (CCPA disclosure), and its recruitment policy says it 'will not sell your personal data to third parties without your prior consent.' Service providers processing data on Rockwell's behalf are contractually barred from keeping it longer than needed or using it for their own purposes.
- Personal data is kept in active systems only while you have interacted with Rockwell within the past twelve months, then archived or deleted.
- Marketing is opt-out with a Communications Preference Center, and direct-marketing consent uses double opt-in in some cases.
Rockwell can rewrite these terms whenever it wants and never has to tell you; just continuing to use the site binds you to the new terms.
The fine print
6 clauses and findings from the draft archive, dated 1 October 2026. The plain English comes first; the small print is the company's own words. None of these has been checked yet.
-
Rockwell can rewrite these terms whenever it wants and never has to tell you; just continuing to use the site binds you to the new terms. This is the harshest clause in the document.
Rockwell Automation may also make changes, updates and improvements to this Site or these access terms and conditions, at any time without notice.
-
Anything you enter or upload on the site — including data that belongs to your own customers — can be used by Rockwell, worldwide, at no cost, to improve its products and services.
User grants Rockwell Automation a non-exclusive, world-wide, royalty-free license to use User's data or other information User makes available while using the Site so Rockwell Automation may improve the Site as well as its products and services. User's Data may include User's or other third-party data, including those of User's customers, that User makes available while using the Site.
-

-

User will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rockwell Automation and its Affiliates and their licensors against any liabilities, damages, sanctions, fines, and costs arising from User's use of the Site in violation of these terms.
-
Everything is provided 'as is' and Rockwell claims it is never liable for any damages from using the site, even if caused by its own negligence.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND TO THE FULLEST EXTEND PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) WILL ROCKWELL AUTOMATION BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, DELAYS, LOSS OF DATA OR PROFIT) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE MATERIALS MAINTAINED ON OR ACCESSED BY WAY OF THIS SITE EVEN IF ROCKWELL AUTOMATION HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
How these were found
Read directly from the two live rockwellautomation.com pages on 2026-10-01 via automated fetch (no blocking encountered; no mirrors used). Privacy and Cookies Policy shows revision history '1.0 — 12/31/2023'; the Terms and Conditions of Access page carries no visible version/date. Rockwell Automation is overwhelmingly B2B (industrial automation hardware/software), so there are no consumer subscription/auto-renew terms to score; scores kept modest accordingly. The website terms are a standard web-site license, not an enterprise software license.
