Introduction
Solano County provides free wireless access to the Internet as a public service to visitors of the County Administration Center. The Internet is an unregulated medium. As such, while it offers access to a vast array of tools and resources that are personally, professionally, and culturally enriching to individuals of all ages, it also enables access to some material that may be offensive, disturbing, and/or illegal.

Solano County does not control or monitor material which may be accessible from Internet sources. Users of this service use the Internet at their own risk. Solano County assumes no responsibility and shall have no liability for any direct, indirect, or consequential damages arising from use of its connection to the Internet.
