You have accepted these Terms of Use, which govern your use of our service. Personally-identifying information is subject to our Privacy Statement, the terms of which are incorporated herein. Please review our Privacy Statement to understand our practices.
As used in these Terms of Use, “Company service”, “our service” or “the service” means the personalized service provided by Company for discovering and watching Company content, including all features and functionalities, recommendations and reviews, the website, and user interfaces, as well as all content and software associated with our service.
Membership
1.1. Your Company membership will continue month-to-month (or annually) and automatically renew until terminated. To use the Company service, you must have internet access and a Company ready device and provide us with one or more Payment Methods. As used herein, the term “Payment Method” means a current, valid, accepted method of payment, as may be updated from time to time and which may include payment through your account with a third party. To the extent that you purchased a subscription, you must cancel your membership before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next membership fees to your Payment Method (see “Cancellation” below).
1.2. We may offer a number of membership plans, including special promotional plans or memberships offered by third parties in conjunction with the provision of their own products and services. We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties. Some membership plans may have differing conditions and limitations, which will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding your Company membership by visiting our website and clicking on the My Account link.
Free Trials
2.1. Your Company membership may start with a free trial. The free trial period of your membership lasts for seven days, or as otherwise specified during sign-up and is intended to allow new and certain former members to try the service.
2.2. Free trial eligibility is determined by Company in Company’s sole discretion and Company may limit eligibility or duration at any time for any reason. We reserve the right to revoke the free trial and put your account on hold in the event that we determine that you are not eligible. Members of households with an existing or recent Company membership are not eligible. We may use information such as device ID, method of payment or an account email address used with an existing or recent Company membership to determine eligibility. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply.
2.3. To the extent that you sign up for a monthly subscription, we will charge your Payment Method for your monthly membership fee (which will occur at the end of the free trial period if a free trial period was occurred) and your membership will automatically renew monthly unless you cancel your membership prior to the end of the free trial period or monthly subscription period concerned). To view the monthly membership price (and end date of your free trial period, if applicable), visit our website and click the My Account page. To the extent that you sign up for an annual subscription, we will charge your Payment Method for your annual membership fee and your membership will automatically renew annually unless you cancel your membership prior to the end of the annual period concerned.
Billing and Cancellation
3.1. Billing Cycle. If you purchase a subscription, the membership fee for the Company service and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the service such as taxes and possible transaction fees, will be charged to your Payment Method at the beginning of the paying portion of your subscription. Monthly and annual subscriptions will be charged to you at the beginning of your subscription month or year (as applicable) thereafter at the then-current rate. For monthly and annual subscriptions, you will be automatically charged each month or year, as applicable, on the calendar day corresponding to the date of commencement of your subscription until your membership is cancelled. Membership fees are fully earned upon payment. In some cases, your payment date may change, for example if your Payment Method has not successfully settled or if your paid membership began on a day not contained in a given month. Visit our website and click on the My Account page to see your next payment date. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of membership or service-related charges through various methods, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization during your free trial period.
3.2. Payment Methods. To use the Company service, you must provide one or more Payment Methods. You can update your Payment Methods by going to the My Account page. We may also update your Payment Methods using information provided by the payment service providers. Following any update, you authorize us to continue to charge the applicable Payment Method(s). You authorize us to charge any Payment Method associated to your account in case your primary Payment Method is declined or no longer available to us for payment of your subscription fee. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your account, we may suspend your access to the service until we have successfully charged a valid Payment Method. For some Payment Methods, the issuer may charge you certain fees, such as foreign transaction fees or other fees relating to the processing of your Payment Method. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.
3.3. Cancellation. You can cancel your Company membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Company service through the end of your monthly billing period. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial-month membership periods or unwatched Company content. To cancel, go to the My Account page on our website and follow the instructions for cancellation. If you cancel your membership, your account will automatically close at the end of your current billing period. To see when your account will close, click on the My Account page. If you signed up for Company using your account with a third party as a Payment Method and wish to cancel your Company membership, you may need to do so through that third party, for example by visiting your account with the applicable third party and turning off auto-renew, or unsubscribing from the Company service through that third party. You may also find billing information about your Company membership by visiting your account with the applicable third party.
3.4. Changes to the Price and Subscription Plans. We reserve the right to change our subscription plans or adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes or changes to your subscription plan will take effect following notice to you.
3.5. No Refunds. Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members (“credits“). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.

Arbitration Agreement
7.1. If you are a Company member in the United States (including its possessions and territories), you and Company agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Company service, these Terms of Use and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration or in small claims court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting any non-waivable statutory rights. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your Company membership.
7.2. If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to Company, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim (“Notice“). The Notice to Company must be addressed to: Boyarski Fritz LLP, 1330 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 1800, New York, New York 10019, Attn: David Fritz, Esq. (“Notice Address“). If Company initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to the email address used for your membership account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Company, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand“). If Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.
7.3. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org.
7.4. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules“) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your residence. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator’s award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator’s application or conclusions of law.
7.5. The right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision explaining the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
7.6. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
