Accelerator Terms of Service
November 2022
Data Connection & Internet Access Terms of Service
While you are at Accelerator, you may connect to our wired and wireless data network to, among other things, access the internet, the “connection”. The connection is provided by Accelerator or one of its agents. By using or accessing the connection, you agree to these terms of service. Please read these terms carefully.
We may revise these terms at any time. You are deemed to accept the current terms each time you use or access the connection, and it is your responsibility to review it for any changes. If you do not accept these terms of service, you may not use the connection.
Access
Your access to the connection is at our discretion. Your access may be blocked, suspended or terminated at any time and for any reason, including violation of these terms of service, disruption of access to other users or networks or to otherwise protect us, our users, or other third parties.
The connection is available to your device only when it is within wireless range of our access points or in your office or a meeting room through an ethernet cable to a data network port. The connection is generally subject to unavailability, including by reason of emergencies, service failures, transmission, equipment or network problems or limitations, interference, signal strength, and maintenance and repair. We are not responsible for any interruptions or performance issues with the connection, or the underlying network(s), transmission equipment and systems. Network speed will vary based on your device configuration, location, compression, network congestion and other factors. You are solely responsible for any devices, software, or other materials necessary for use of the connection.
Further, any identified prohibited uses may result in the removal of obscene/offensive content, or access/usage suspension or termination.
Privacy & Security
You acknowledge that no data network and internet-based communication is 100% secure, such communications could be intercepted by equipment and software and no such communication should be considered private or protected.
Accelerator respects the privacy of its users and the communications they send and receive over the connection. Subject to applicable law and in accordance with our privacy policy, however, we have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor, intercept and review, and disclose, without further notice, any transmissions over or use of our connection to comply with lawful process, orders, warrants or subpoenas, or to protect our rights, property and users. Accelerator may also use information you provide to us through connecting to our data network to analyze and improve our services, including through the use of analytics.
The Accelerator network and wireless network is a shared network, Accelerator and its agents (including Lucidica) reserve the right to exclude any piece of equipment at their discretion that causes adverse effects on the network.
Naughty Equipment
Items and equipment that are expressly prohibited (collectively the “Naughty Equipment”) are:
- Routers, bridges, sub-switches, and any equipment capable of routing traffic
- Wireless transmitting devices including Wireless Access Points & Wireless Routers
- Server Equipment, including anything hosting content, traffic or providing services such as DHCP, DNS etc
You agree not to connect any Naughty Equipment to the network without prior written permission from Accelerator.
Own equipment and server services
Additional services to cover wifi, printing and other ‘server’ services can be provided upon request. You may also bring your own equipment, however any Naughty Equipment must first be audited and installed, and as such a charge normally applies.
Request for approval & technical queries

We have the right, but not the obligation, to suspend or terminate your access and use of the connection and other services we may provide you and to block or remove any communications or materials transmitted through the connection.

Additional Disclaimers; Liability Limitation
We are providing the connection on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties and terms, express or implied, including warranties, terms or representations as to the availability, operation, security, performance and/or use of our services, or any other materials on or accessed via our services, or the accuracy, speed, availability or uptime of the services, network, or data, including any warranties or terms of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement and any implied warranties, terms or indemnification arising from course of dealing or course of performance.

You will indemnify the Accelerator Parties from and against any and all claims, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), resulting from any breach of this agreement by you.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the exclusions and limitations above may not apply to you. In such event, such exclusions and limitations shall apply to the maximum extent allowed under applicable law.
