Communications and Content Monitoring
In the course of providing the Service to you and operating the Service for you, Walmart may receive certain information about content you access, send, receive or use while accessing the Service, such as URLs and, for transmissions via HTTP or HTTPS, search terms, application commands, files names, file sizes and file types, when you use or access the Service. Walmart also may receive certain information about communications you may engage in, access, send, receive or use while accessing the Service, such as any of the information noted above, and address information, such as recipient and sender email address, or recipient or sender phone number in the case of text messaging via phone when such information is transmitted via an unencrypted manner. Walmart may use this content and communications-related information for the following purposes, and will retain the information consistent with these uses:

  • To filter or block inappropriate content, such as adult content or pornography;
  • To provide reasonable security measures such as logging and monitoring use of the Service to help prevent unauthorized access;
  • Making reasonable efforts to ensure an appropriate level of consistent service, including the availability and speed of the Service, subject to applicable disclaimers and limitations described herein;
  • Troubleshooting and addressing potential and actual problems with the Service; and
  • Disclosing information to law enforcement and government agencies as may be deemed necessary, in their or Walmart’s discretion, consistent with applicable legal requirements.

You understand that Walmart will receive certain information about communications and content you engage in or send, receive, and/or access while using the Service, and you unconditionally agree and consent to Walmart’s receipt, collection, use, storage and disclosure of that information, as described above and elsewhere in these Terms. You agree and understand that Walmart may, but is not required to, proactively monitor content, communications and activities undertaken using the Service. It is your responsibility to know and understand the risks of using public communication means, such as unsecured wifi, for transmission of any communications and content.

Privacy and Security
We understand that privacy and security are important to you and others using the Service. Accordingly, we want you to know that, when you access or use the Service, Walmart will receive information that may identify you or the device you are using. That information may include MAC address, IP address, and unique device identifier such as a name or number assigned to the device. If you were required to login in order to access or use the Service, then registration information we obtain from you may include your name, phone number and email address.

We also will receive the real-time location of your device while it is accessing the Service.

We will use this information to provide the Service, to troubleshoot or otherwise address issues related to the Service, to provide reasonable security protections as described above, and for general administrative and compliance purposes. We will share that information with others in the following circumstances:

  • With service providers, who are only authorized to use information to perform services on our behalf or for limited administrative purposes, such as complying with legal requirements;
  • When reasonably requested or required by law enforcement authorities or other government officials;
  • When otherwise required by law or in response to legal process;
  • When we believe disclosure is appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss;
  • When reasonably necessary to investigate or otherwise respond to suspected or actual illegal activity or a violation of these Terms;
  • As needed to protect the vital interests of an individual; and
  • In the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets.

Walmart takes reasonable steps to keep the Service free of security risks such as malware and spam, but cannot and does not warrant or represent that the Service is secure or free from security risks. We cannot and do not guarantee or represent that the Service, or the device you use to access the Service, can be kept free of security hazards and vulnerabilities. We cannot represent complete security in part because the security of the Service and your device is a shared responsibility of Walmart and all users of the Service, including you. As such, you agree to take appropriate steps to help protect yourself and your device, and to ensure the security of the Service for others, including but not limited to:

  • Installing and using up-to-date malware and virus protection on the device you use to access or use the Service;
  • Avoiding communications and websites that convey malware, such as phishing emails;
  • Installing the most recent security patches made available by your device and/or operating system provider;
  • If you were required to use login credentials to access the Service, maintaining these credentials confidentially, including refraining from sharing them with anyone or maintaining them in an insecure fashion, such as by displaying them in a place that is visible to others;
  • Notifying Walmart immediately if you believe that your login credentials were compromised; and
  • Notifying Walmart immediately of any security issue you may detect with respect the Service.

You are solely responsible for any loss, liability or damages resulting from your failure to adhere to the above-listed or other reasonable security precautions. You acknowledge that Walmart makes no assurance or guaranty regarding the privacy or security of information, including about you or the device you use to access the Service, or the content or communications you engage in, access, send, receive, or use while accessing the Service. We cannot and do not guaranty or represent that any such information will be or will remain private or secure, and you agree that Walmart assumes only the limited responsibility described herein for your privacy or security, and that of the device you use to access the Service.

You agree and understand that Walmart will receive certain information about communications and content you engage in or send, receive, and/or access while using the services. You agree and understand that Walmart may, but is not required to, proactively monitor communications and activities undertaken using the Service. The Communications and Content Monitoring section of these Terms more fully describes our receipt and potential monitoring of communications and content.

Operational Limits of the Service
Walmart provides the Service to you on a complimentary basis, subject to certain limits, including, but not limited to, certain availability and operational limitations of the requisite equipment and associated facilities.

Walmart assumes no obligation to provide the Service, or to provide the Service to any certain level or specification, such as speed, bandwidth, strength, and range.

Although Walmart provides the Service on a complimentary basis and receives no payment associated with use by its customers, guests, associates and service providers, your use of the Service may be subject to charges imposed by the carrier or other party that supports the computing device you use to access the Service. Such charges are a function of your service plan and outside Walmart’s control and do not affect the applicability or enforceability of these Terms.

Walmart makes reasonable efforts to filter certain objectionable, harmful or illegal content, but cannot and does not guaranty that these filters will completely prevent all such content from being accessed by you or other devices accessing the Service.

Without limiting any other available right or remedy, Walmart reserves the right to, and you agree that Walmart shall have the right, to (1) take such action as it deems, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate to protect against violations of these Terms or abuse of the Service and to otherwise protect its interest or the interests of others, including but not limited to removing, destroying or otherwise making unavailable offending material, temporary or permanent filtering, blocking access, and suspending or terminating the Service; and (2) investigate immediately and involve and cooperate with appropriate authorities regarding any actual or suspected illegal or unauthorized activities involving this Service.

Termination of Service
Walmart may, at any time and for whatever reason, change, terminate, limit or suspend the Service, in whole or in part, including your access to or use of the Service. In the event of termination, your rights to use the Service will immediately cease.
