Its a huge wall of text. Is that really necessary?

Most of its practically repeating what the "service" is (free wifi) and you agree to these terms. Umm dont download a huge file.....

It's all lawyer CYA. Don't worry about it too much, and don't do anything shady.

Its just funny how its a page saying you agree to free wifi for email and general web browsing.

We need a page of legalities to cover ourselves.

If the homeless guy on the end of the computer desks can whack it to porn, why can't you?

I don't know if it's an obsessive quirk of mine but I always read the terms, privacy policy and whatever.

What if one of the terms is that the "free" wifi is free for the first 150mb of use, but you must spend 7 years in indentured servitude if you exceed that limit?

It saves the asses of network administrators like me if you decide to look up anything in appropriate and get caught. It's happened many times before...I initiate a splash page anytime anyone wants to join my network.
