The Lowell Joint School District (LJSD) is offering this guest WiFi wireless Internet service (the “Service”) according to this Guest WiFi Wireless Networking Acceptable Use Policy (the “Policy”) as a free, non-public service to its visitors for the duration of their official visits. All users of this Service must agree to the terms of this Policy by clicking the button below. LJSD does not guarantee the Service or specific rates of speed. LJSD also has no control over information obtained through the Internet and cannot be held responsible for its content or accuracy. Use of the service is subject to the user’s own risk.  LJSD reserves the right to monitor and filter all Internet traffic. LJSD reserves the right to remove, block, filter, or restrict by any other means any material that, in our sole discretion, may be illegal, may subject us to liability, or may violate this Policy. LJSD may cooperate with legal authorities and/or third parties in the investigation of any suspected or alleged crime or civil wrong. Violations of this Policy may result in the suspension or termination of access to the Service or other resources, or other actions as detailed below.

 

Responsibilities of Service Users:

Users are responsible for ensuring they are running up-to-date anti-virus software on their wireless devices. Users must be aware that, as they connect their devices to the Internet through the Service, they may expose their devices to worms, viruses, Trojan horses, denial-of-service attacks, intrusions, packet sniffing, and other abuses by third parties. Users must respect all copyrights. Downloading or sharing copyrighted materials is strictly prohibited. The running of programs, services, systems, processes, or servers by a single user or group of users that may substantially degrade network performance or accessibility will not be allowed. Electronic chain letters and mail bombs are prohibited. Connecting to "Peer to Peer" file sharing networks or downloading large files, such as CD ISO images, is also prohibited. Accessing another person's computer, computer account, files, or data without permission is prohibited. Attempting to circumvent or subvert system or network security measures is prohibited. Creating or running programs that are designed to identify security loopholes, decrypt intentionally secured data, or gain unauthorized access to any system is prohibited. Using any means to decode or otherwise obtain restricted passwords or access control information is prohibited. Forging the identity of a user or machine in an electronic communication is prohibited. Saturating network or computer resources to the exclusion of another's use, for example, by overloading the network with traffic such as emails or legitimate (file backup or archive) or malicious (denial of service attack) activity, is prohibited. Users understand that wireless Internet access is inherently not secure, and users should adopt appropriate security measures when using the Service. LJSD highly discourages users from conducting confidential transactions (such as online banking, credit card transactions, etc.) over any wireless network, including this Service. Users are responsible for the security of their own devices.

 

Limitations of Wireless Network Access:
LJSD is not liable for any damage, undesired resource usage, or detrimental effects that may occur to a user's device and/or software while the user’s device is attached to the Service. The user is responsible for any actions taken from his or her device, whether intentional or unintentional, that damage or otherwise affect other devices or users of the Service. The user hereby releases LJSD from liability for any loss, damage, security infringement, or injury that the user may sustain as a result of being allowed access to the Service. The user agrees to be solely responsible for any such loss, infringement, damage, or injury.

 

Lawful Use:

The Service may only be used for lawful purposes and in a manner that LJSD believes to be consistent with the rights of other users. The Service shall not be used in a manner that would violate any law or infringe any copyright, trademark, trade secret, right of publicity, privacy right, or any other right of any person or entity. The Service shall not be used to access, transmit, or store material that is considered obscene, libelous, or defamatory. Illegal acts may subject users to prosecution by local, state, federal, or international authorities. LJSD may bring legal action to enjoin violations of this Policy and/or to collect damages, if any, caused by violations.

The user specifically agrees to the following conditions:

The user will use the Service only as permitted by applicable local, state, federal, and International laws. The user will refrain from any actions that LJSD considers to be negligent or malicious. The user will not send emails containing viruses or other malicious or damaging software. The user will run appropriate anti-virus software to remove such damaging software from his or her computer. The user will not access websites that contain material that is grossly offensive to us, including clear expressions of bigotry, racism, or hatred. The user will not access websites that contain material that defames, abuses, or threatens others.
