The purpose of the library's wireless network is to provide access for
individual users to the Arlington Heights Memorial 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, users need an
802.11B or 802.11G network card and will need to set their SSID to AHML-A 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.
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 Arlington Heights Memorial 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.
