Will terms and conditions and usage policy be available in english at this seminar.
Good question, there will obviously be some sort of contract if and when people sign up and get the equipment installed, let’s hope it’s written in plain English, the people involved seem straight as a die and will certainly answer any queries you may have on the day
@Roy Sorry that was my attempt at humour if you go to the Winicab website the terms and conditions and usage policy are in Italian I think . I base this on the fact that I recognized the word libero and I know its an Italian chipper in Deansgrange.
It’s written in Latin………….odd as I’m sure they have employed a firm of solicitors to handle any misunderstandings
Aesop’s good at Latin….he might translate it for a fee.

But his accent is atrocious!
The Lorum ipsum thing is Latin, I actually ticked the box to say I’d read them when I signed up earlier……rarely read those things TBH
Here’s the English translation of Lorum Ipsum:
But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
[33] On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.

I dont have a word of latin. I think rialto driver is the classical scholar.He once posted a beautifull piece on balls both singular and plural.He also refered to how they should be displayed when exhibited in close proximity to a clock.
Lorum ipsum is standard placeholder text, that you stick into a web page that should have text but you haven’t written it yet, to check formatting and so on. IT’s absolutely meaningless in the context of a web site.
