Wireless Internet Use Policy

By choosing to use guest wireless service, you agree to abide by this Wireless Internet Use Policy (“Policy”) which prohibits abusive or illegal activity while using the Internet or Network.  At its sole discretion, the Fair may terminate this courtesy service at any time without prior notice. This Wireless Internet Use Policy governs your access to and use of the Network. The Fair reserves the right to amend, alter, or modify your conduct requirements as set forth in this Policy at any time. By clicking to accept or agree to the Policy, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by this Policy. If you do not want to agree to this Policy, you must not access or use the Network.

1. Internet Access
   As a courtesy and convenience to patrons, the Oklahoma State Fair (the “Fair”) provides short-term access to the Internet through its guest wireless network (“the Network”). The Internet, an essential medium for obtaining and transmitting information of all types, is unregulated and offers access to information that is inaccurate, biased, illegal, or that may be offensive or disturbing to some users or those in the proximety of some users. Network access is provided as a courtesy and convenience to you on an as-is basis. Use of the Network is at your own risk.
2. Responsibilities of Fair Staff and User
   Use of the Network is at the user’s sole discretion and risk. The Fair, in its sole discretion, will determine whether your conduct is in compliance with this Policy and related Fair policies or procedures. The Fair reserves the right to monitor use of the Network for any purpose in its sole discretion. Not all portions of the Internet are accessible or available through the Network. For example, the Fair employs filtering software that may block access to sites that pose a risk to the integrity of the Fair Network, its systems, or that violate the Fair’s policies or procedures or create cybersecurity risks to the Fair and/or its Network. Excluding the use of web filtering software,the Fair and Fair staff will generally not monitor a user’s Internet use on the Network; however, the Fair reserves the right to do so, including to maintain the security and integrity of the Network. The user, or the parent/guardian of a minor, is responsible for his or her Network activity at all times. The Fair affirms the right and responsibility of parents/guardians, not the Fair, to determine and monitor their minor children’s use of the Internet. Parents who believe that their children cannot responsibly use the Fair’s Network access should monitor their children’s Internet use.
3. Unacceptable Uses of the Fair Network
   Examples of inappropriate use include, but are not limited to, the following:
   1. Violation of any computer system integrity;
   2. Unauthorized tampering with any computer hardware or software;
   3. Violation of another user’s privacy;
   4. Compromising the safety and security of others or the property of others;
   5. Illegal acts or attempts to engage in illegal acts;
   6. Otherwise attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Network.
4. Response to Violations
   Failure to comply with this policy and related Fair policies or procedures may result in the suspension of access to the Network and may further lead to being escorted from the Fair. While using the Internet at the Fair, users acknowledge that they are subject to, and agree to abide by all laws, rules and regulations applicable to their Internet use and use of the Network. The Fair has the right to: take any action the Fair deems necessary and appropriate in its sole discretion if a user’s conduct violates this Policy; to the extent it is known to the Fair, disclose your identity or other information about you to a third party who claims that material posted by you violates their rights; take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Network.
