Terms & Conditions

Beonic Terms of Use Date of Last Revision: November 2017

1. Introduction

• Beonic Limited (ACN 009 264 699) and its subsidiaries such as Beonic Group Pty Ltd (ACN 165 152 241) (“Beonic”, “us” or “we”) are facilitators of “free” Wi-Fi services and providers of data analytic services for our customers. https://beonic.com/
• These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern our facilitation of the provision of a Wi-Fi service (the “Service”) to you as end user, by our business customers (our ‘Providers’).  Beonic is able to facilitate our Providers providing the Service to you for no charge because both Beonic and our Providers collect certain information about your receipt of the Service and behaviour at their premises, for example concerning how, where and for how long you use the Service while at their premises.
• The Service involves a network of wireless access points that allow a single wireless device to access connections to the internet, once both the user and the device are registered and connected to the Service.  Because your registration and your use of the Service is linked to your device, you should not allow anyone else to use your device while connected to the Service.
• In providing products and services to our Providers and facilitating the provision of the Service to you, we may need to collect your personal information (both directly and indirectly). We take the privacy of our customers and end-users very seriously. The collection, holding, use and disclosure of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is available at https://beonic.com/privacy-policy.  It is incorporated into these terms by reference. It is a condition of your receipt of the Service that you provide us with the personal information in question and agree to receive certain content.  Our Providers may have their own terms and conditions and privacy policies, which they will make available to you as part of their provision of the Service to you.   By registering for and using the Service you are agreeing to both these Terms and our Privacy Policy and the terms of use and privacy policy of our Provider without limitation and consequently should read them carefully before registering.  If you are not eligible, do not understand them or do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.
• We may change these Terms at any time and will take reasonable steps to bring any material changes to your attention. As you will be bound by any amendment to these Terms, you should review these Terms from time to time. By continuing to use the Service after any amendment to these Terms, you will be deemed to have accepted the amended Terms.

2. Using the Service

• Before using and accessing the Service, you may be required to register some of your details with us, using an online facility that we provide in conjunction with the relevant Provider. By clicking and accepting any terms and conditions or policy provided by the Provider or us to you through the Service, either electronically, digitally or otherwise you are legally accepting and /or confirming you have read and understood that document and it becomes binding on you You may not be able to use the Service without registering, although you may register using a pseudonym.  By registering for and using the Service you confirm that you are at least 15 years of age.
• Once you have registered, your wireless device will be automatically recognised by the Service, and you will be able to access the internet at any location where the Service is provided.  Therefore, if you register for the Service at one of our Providers’ premises you may be able to subsequently use the Service at the premises of a different Provider.  Our Providers may share your personal information between themselves for this and other purposes, and we may facilitate this process.
• To use the Service, you must have a wireless device that is capable of accessing a Wi-Fi network. You must not use the Service with any device that you do not own, unless you have the explicit permission of the owner of the device.  You must also not let other people use your device when it is connected to the Service.  If you use multiple wireless devices, you must register each device individually.

3. Nature of the Service

• Beonic supplies a range of products and services to our Providers, who are the ultimate providers of the Service to you on their respective premises.  Our Providers use the products and services we supply to help them analyse the behaviour of visitors to and on their premises and online.
• Our data analysis products and services enable our Providers to better understand how you and other customers engage with their businesses.  We may also facilitate the sharing of information and data analysis between our Providers and trusted partners.  Ultimately, this enables our Providers to make their service offering to you more compelling and interesting.
• You acknowledge and agree that each time you connect to the Service, and at such other times as we consider appropriate, we or any of our Providers may direct your wireless device or any response to your online requests to a website or other location for the analysis of data and or the display of promotional or advertising material in any form, including video. Further that you may be prevented from use, or further use, of the internet for any duration that we consider appropriate for the display of that advertising or promotional material.
• You acknowledge and agree that we or any of our Providers may limit or restrict your access to the Service from time to time at our or their discretion, including by controlling the rate at which your wireless device sends and receives data over the Service, by restricting the time a wireless device may be connected to the Service, and by filtering or blocking access to certain websites or other internet accessible material through the Service.

4. Collection and use of data

• In addition to information you provide to us directly, we (or our Providers or trusted partners) may also directly or indirectly collect information (including via the use of cookies) about your use of the Service automatically, including about your wireless devices when they communicate with wireless access points or third-party websites.  Our Privacy Policy sets out the kind of such information we collect (both directly and indirectly), how and why.

• Should you wish to withdraw your consent to the receipt of Messages from us, you may do so at any time by either notifying us by email at the address: contactus@beonic.com or by using the unsubscribe facility that we provide with each Message.  If you wish to withdraw your consent to the receipt of Messages from any other Permitted Sender you should contact the relevant Permitted Sender directly to unsubscribe.
• Messages may incorporate promotions, advertisements and offers by other people, companies or organisations, including Providers (“Third Party Promotions“).
