Fair Use
Our Wi-Fi service is intended for email, instant messaging, internet browsing and using apps (e.g. Netflix, BBC iPlayer), which we consider fair use. Transferring large amounts of data uses up bandwidth and may reduce the speed at which other users of the Wi-Fi service can access it. In particular, downloading very large files, and using peer to peer and file sharing software require large amounts of bandwidth and data usage.
If you do not restrict your usage to fair use, we reserve the right to issue a warning to you or to suspend or withdraw our Wi-Fi service from you immediately, temporarily or permanently; or we may manage your bandwidth so that it may result in reduced service speeds. In addition, we may restrict the amount of bandwidth available to very heavy users during busy periods to maintain good access for our other users.
Please ensure that your device or hardware is not infected with a virus that sends out data without your knowledge.
Changes To The Acceptable and Fair Use Policy
We may revise this Acceptable and Fair Use Policy at any time. You are expected to check this Policy from time to time to take notice of any changes we make, as they are legally binding.
