Question about plagiarism

I would like to get expert advice on this question about plagiarism.
I've found a web site which is useful for one of my university assignment and when reading their privacy policy i found "if you refer to our contents please put link to our web site" so I've referred some of their contents and used to write my assignment. But now university have send me report that i have plagiarized contents in my assignment.
My question is : Can i appeal on this based on that web site's privacy policy ?
