2. Service Availability
A Wi-Fi network compatible device (a “Device”) is required in order to use the Service. It is your responsibility to ensure that your Device is compatible with the Service. Availability and performance of the Service is subject to all memory, storage and other limitations in the Device. Service is only available at locations designated by LCPA (“LCPA Wi-Fi Sites”). Service is available to your Device only when it is within the operating range of our system. The locations of LCPA Wi-Fi Sites is subject to change at any time without notice. Actual Service coverage, speeds, locations and quality may vary. Service is subject to unavailability, including emergencies, third party service failures, transmission, equipment or network problems or limitations, interference, signal strength, and maintenance and repair, and may be interrupted, refused, limited or curtailed by LCPA at any time and for any or no reason. We are not responsible for data, messages or pages lost, not delivered, delayed or misdirected because of interruptions or performance issues with the Service or communications services or networks (e.g., T-1 lines or the Internet) or damage to your Device from using the Service. We may impose usage or Service limits, suspend Service, or block certain kinds of usage in our sole discretion to protect users, our network, our organization, the name or reputation of LCPA or our ability to conduct any activity that we deem in our sole discretion to be in the interests of LCPA. Network speed is an estimate and is no indication of the speed at which your Device or the Service sends or receives data. Actual network speed will vary based on Device configuration, compression, distance, network congestion, interference and other factors. LCPA is not obligated to take any action to maintain or increase Network speed and LCPA retains the right to take any action, in its sole discretion, that may result in a reduction of Network speed. The accuracy and timeliness of data received is not guaranteed; delays or omissions may occur. LPCA may, but does not have to, change or improve the Service by, among other things, changing or upgrading the 802.11b/g standard. LCPA is under no obligation to (i) conform either its hardware or software components to any “Wi-Fi” standard, whether 802.11b/g or later, or (ii) configure such components to be accessible to any fixed or mobile device conventionally equipped to be able to access “Wi-Fi” networks, including, without limitation, notebook and laptop computers, mobile telephones, personal digital assistants and similar devices so equipped.
