Tuscarawas County Public Library
Wireless Network User Agreement

The purpose of the library's Wireless Network is to provide access for individual users to the Tuscarawas County Public Library's wireless network. To access the service, a user must agree to abide by the terms of this user agreement.

Connecting

In order to connect to the library's wireless network, the user needs an 802.11B or 802.11G network card and will need to set their SSID to TCPLibrary and set the TCP/IP settings to automatically obtain an IP address. The user accepts full responsibility for selecting, installing, and configuring the hardware and software necessary for using the Wireless Network. The library assumes no responsibility for any investments a user makes in hardware or software, nor assumes the burden of support for interfacing the user's system with the Wireless Network. Further, the user accepts any potential risk to his/her system when modifying that system to use the service. Wi-Fi is less secure than a wired network.  Signal strength may vary in the building.  There is no printing capability.

Terms and Conditions

It is the library's goal to provide access to the wireless network during normal library operating hours. However, high demand, reliability of technology and other factors may affect the delivery of the service. For these reasons the library cannot guarantee the availability of the service.

The Tuscarawas County Public Library is not responsible for the content, quality, validity or currency of any information that the library did not create. The library reserves the right to modify or discontinue this service if it is judged necessary by the Board of Library Trustees.

A user accepts responsibility for any personal information that is sent out through the Wireless Network. Communications through the Wireless Network should not be considered secure. Any personal information that is sent through the Wireless Network could potentially be intercepted by a third party using the Wireless Network.

It is the responsibility of each user to obey all local, state and federal laws when using the Wireless Network, including but not limited to copyright, fraud, obscenity and privacy legislation. A user acknowledges that unauthorized reproduction, transfer or use of material accessed through this service may be a criminal offense under the United States Copyright Act.

A user may not attempt to violate the integrity of any information available through the Wireless Network, or any systems accessible through this service. A user may neither attempt to access secured files or systems nor cause any obstruction of use through actions such as consuming large amounts of system resources.

Failure to abide by the terms of this user agreement will result in suspension of a user's Wireless Network privileges. If appropriate, the library may also pursue criminal prosecution.
