  1. Intent.

Unless produced by Brazos WiFi, the information Customer accesses or receives by using the service or information sent to Customer by other users is provided, entered, or posted by the users and is not reviewed, controlled, examined, verified, or endorsed by Brazos WiFi The data and information Customer sends and receives may be subject to privacy- and security-invading activities including, but not limited to, eavesdropping, electronic trespassing, “sniffing,” “spamming,” “nuking,” “hacking,” “spoofing,” imposture, breaking passwords, harassment, fraud, forgery, and system contamination including use of viruses, “worms,” and “Trojan” applications causing unauthorized, damaging, harmful access and/or retrieval of information and data on Customer’s computer and other forms of activities that may even be considered unlawful. Information and data may also not reach its destination or may reach an erroneous address or recipient.

CUSTOMER IS ADVISED NOT TO USE OR RELY ON THE SERVICE AND INFORMATION RELATED THERETO FOR “CONTENT SENSITIVE” OR “MISSION CRITICAL” APPLICATIONS AND USE. “CONTENT SENSITIVE” MEANS ANY INFORMATION OR DATA CUSTOMER DOES NOT WISH TO BE FREELY ACCESSIBLE AND GENERALLY AVAILABLE TO INTERNET USERS. “MISSION CRITICAL” APPLICATIONS AND USE ARE THOSE WHERE CONTINUOUS OPERATION IS CRITICAL TO AN INDIVIDUAL OR COMPANY AND WHERE HARM OR DAMAGE MAY BE CAUSED IF ANY DOWNTIME WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THAT INDIVIDUAL OR COMPANY.

  1. Security, And File and Print Sharing.

Brazos WiFi’s facilities are used by numerous service subscribers. As a result, there is a risk that Customer could be subject to “eavesdropping.” This means that other service subscribers may be able to access and monitor Customer’s use of the service. This risk of eavesdropping exists not only with Brazos WiFi’s facilities, but also on the Internet and other services to which access is provided as part of the service. Because of this risk, any sensitive or confidential information sent by Customer is sent at the Customer’s sole risk, and Brazos WiFi shall have no liability whatsoever for any claims, losses, actions, damages, suits, or proceedings arising out of or otherwise relating to such actions by Customer.

  1. FTP/HTTP Service Setup.

Customer should be aware that when using the service to access the Internet or any other online network or service, there are certain applications, such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server or HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) server, which may be used to allow other service users and Internet users to gain access to Customer’s computer. If Customer chooses to run such applications, Customer should take the appropriate security measures. Brazos WiFi shall not have any liability whatsoever for any claims, losses, actions, damages, suits, or proceedings resulting from, arising out of, or otherwise relating to the use of such applications by Customer, including without limitation, damages resulting from others accessing Customer’s computer.

  1. Local Area Network (LAN) in that each Customer is a node on the network.

As such, users outside the Customer’s home may be able to access the Customer’s computer. It is important that the Customer take appropriate steps to protect their information on the computer from being accessed by others. To this end, we encourage Customers to acquire a firewall, utilize virus protection, and implement other security measures the Customer deems necessary to protect the integrity of the data on Customer’s computer. In addition, some software includes capabilities that permit other users across a network, such as the service and the Internet, to gain access to the Customer’s computer and to the software, files, and data stored on the computer. Operating systems can include file sharing and print sharing capabilities which, when enabled, will permit other users to gain access to the Customer’s computer even if the Customer is not using the service. Notwithstanding the foregoing recommendations, Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Customer’s use of the service is at the Customer’s own risk, and Brazos WiFi shall not have any liability whatsoever for any claims, losses, actions, damages, suits, or proceedings arising out of or otherwise relating to such use by the Customer.

  1. Service Eligibility.

The service is available only to individuals and entities that can form legally binding contracts under applicable law and their permitted agents and assigns (i.e., family members, friends, etc.).

Brazos WiFi or any of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, or assigns, may refuse the use of, and participation in, the service to anyone at any time, in its sole discretion. (b) Receiving files from third parties, via any application (i.e., email) may be harmful. Before receiving any files from any user, and even if the account from which the file transfer notice is sent looks familiar to Customer, it is strongly recommended that Customer verifies that the person sending Customer these files is indeed the person Customer thinks he or she is, for example by asking for some kind of information known only to the Customer and such other person.

Customer agrees that Brazos WiFi has no responsibility or liability for the failure of the service and the deletion of other Content maintained or transmitted by the service. Brazos WiFi reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the service (or any part thereof) with or without notice.

Customer agrees that Brazos WiFi shall not be liable to Customer or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the service.

  1. Indemnification.

Customer agrees to indemnify and hold Brazos WiFi, its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, co-branders or other partners harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of the Content Customer submits, posts to or otherwise transmits through the service, Customer’s use of the service and Brazos WiFi’s equipment, Customer’s connection to the service, Customer’s violation of the Agreement, or Customer’s infringement of any intellectual property or other right of any other person or entity.

  1. Enforcement.

Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, Brazos WiFi cannot and does not confirm that each user is who they claim to be. Because Brazos WiFi does not and cannot be involved in user-to-user dealings or control the behavior of participants on Brazos WiFi’s service, in the event that Customer has a dispute with one or more users, Brazos WiFi has no ability to prevent or restrict conduct, communications, or Content which might violate the Agreement prior to its transmission on or through the service, nor can Brazos WiFi ensure prompt removal of any such communications or Content after transmission or posting. Accordingly, Brazos WiFi does not assume responsibility to Customer or others for any failure by Brazos WiFi to enforce the provisions contained in the Agreement.

Customer shall have no right to assign or transfer this Agreement or the associated Customer Equipment without the express prior written consent of Brazos WiFi.
