- Where possible, we will provide notice on the website and other public displays in the event of closures or interruptions to normal opening hours.

- The maximum individual booking for public visits to Horizon 22 is 9 individuals.

Wireless Terms of Service & Acceptable Use Policy
Horizon 22 (the "Provider") offers this guest wireless internet service (the "Service") according to this Terms of Service & Acceptable Use Policy (the "Policy") as a free service to its guests for the duration of their visit.
The Provider does not guarantee the Service or specific rates of speed. The Provider has no control over information obtained through the internet and cannot be held responsible for its content or accuracy. Use of the Service is at the user's own risk.
The Provider reserves the right to remove, block, filter, or otherwise restrict any material that, in its sole discretion, may be illegal, may be subject to liability, or may violate this Policy. The Provider may cooperate with legal authorities and/or third parties in the investigation of any suspected or alleged crime or civil wrong. Violations of this Policy may result in the suspension or termination of access to the Service or other resources, or other actions as detailed below.
Responsibilities of Service Users
Users are responsible for ensuring they run up-to-date anti-virus software on their wireless devices. Users must be aware that, in connecting their devices to the internet through the Service, they expose their devices to worms, viruses, Trojan horses, denial-of-service attacks, intrusions, packet-sniffing, and other abuses by third parties. Users must respect all copyrights; downloading or sharing copyrighted material is strictly prohibited.
The running of programs, services, systems, processes, or servers by a single user or group of users that may substantially degrade network performance or accessibility is not permitted. Electronic chain letters and mail bombs are prohibited. Connecting to peer-to-peer file sharing networks, or downloading large files such as CD ISO images, is also prohibited. Accessing another person's computer, computer account, files, or data without permission is prohibited. Attempting to circumvent or subvert system or network security measures is prohibited, as is creating or running programs designed to identify security loopholes, decrypt intentionally secured data, or gain unauthorised access to any system. Using any means to decode or otherwise obtain restricted passwords or access control information is prohibited, as is forging the identity of a user or machine in an electronic communication. Saturating network or computer resources to the exclusion of another's use — for example, by overloading the network with traffic through email, legitimate file backup or archive activity, or malicious denial-of-service activity — is prohibited.
Users understand that wireless internet access is inherently insecure, and should adopt appropriate security measures when using the Service. We strongly discourage users from conducting confidential transactions (such as online banking or credit card transactions) over any wireless network, including this Service. Users are responsible for the security of their own devices.
