   • available at all times;
   • uninterrupted or error free;
   • provided in accordance with any particular standard or service level;
   • fit for a particular purpose;
   • secure or secure from unauthorised third party access;
   • free from viruses or other harmful code or components; or

3. We will use reasonable efforts to monitor and attend to any faults, malfunctions or other problems associated with access to the WiFi System, but will not be liable for any losses you incur if such faults, malfunctions or problems occur. Further, we will not be obliged to rectify any such faults, malfunctions or problems associated with access to the WiFi System within any specified timeframe.

Logging Onto/Off the WiFi System

1. To use the WiFi System, you simply need to access this network with your wireless-enabled device with its own power source, and agree to these Terms. You are not required to purchase any item or pay a fee to access the WiFi System. Each user is allowed one free browsing session of up to 6 hours. Following this period, the WiFi System will be automatically terminated.
2. To log out, you simply need to close the internet browser. You will also be logged off the WiFi System automatically if:
   • We terminate your access in accordance with these Terms; or
   • the WiFi connection you are accessing is lost, disconnected or becomes out of range.

Security

1. The internet is an inherently insecure medium of communication. We cannot guarantee the security of your data. It is possible that your data could be lost, damaged, or intercepted in transit using the WiFi System. We do not take responsibility for any loss of information uploaded, downloaded or otherwise communicated via the WiFi System, or any unauthorised access to your usernames, passwords, data or any other security-based information.
2. For the avoidance of doubt, the security of your device, equipment and data is not our responsibility. You are responsible for safeguarding against the risks of hacking, viruses, eavesdropping and all other such hazards. We will not be liable for any kind of loss or damage whatsoever and take no responsibility for any user data which traverses the WiFi System.
