The unauthorized use of any Content protected by copyright is strictly prohibited and will constitute a breach of this Agreement.

5. The Content

You may not either directly or through the use of any device, software, internet site, web-based service, or other means remove, alter, bypass, avoid, interfere with, or circumvent any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices marked on the Content or any digital rights management mechanism, device, or other content protection or access control measure associated with the Content including geo-filtering mechanisms. For clarity, you may not use any technology or technique that obscures or disguises your location when you are accessing the Websites and Services. You may not either directly or through the use of any device, software, internet site, web-based service, or other means copy, record, download, stream capture, reproduce, duplicate, archive, distribute, upload, publish, modify, translate, broadcast, perform, display, sell, or transmit or retransmit the Content unless expressly permitted by the terms of your subscription or otherwise by us in writing.

In addition, you are strictly prohibited from creating derivative works or materials that otherwise are derived from or based on in any way the Content, including montages, mash-ups and similar videos, wallpaper, desktop themes, greeting cards, and merchandise, unless expressly permitted by us in writing. This prohibition applies even if you intend to give away the derivative materials free of charge.

b. Content Subjectivity. Content tends to elicit varying reactions from people of varying religious backgrounds. You may come across Content with which you do not theologically agree. Content types, genres, categories, and descriptions are provided as suggestions to help you with navigation, and we not guarantee that you will agree with them. You acknowledge these risks.

c. Content Quality. We use various technologies to provide you with an optimal viewing experience. That said, quality of Content, including resolution, may be affected by the format of the Content, your location, the speed and bandwidth of your internet service, and the devices used, among other factors. HD availability for certain Content depends on your internet service and device capabilities. The time it takes you to begin playing Content will vary based on a number of factors, including your location, internet bandwidth, the number of devices simultaneously connecting to the same network, the Content you have selected, and the configuration of the device you are using. As a result, we are unable to make any warranties about the Content in these respects.

d. Content Presentation. We want you to have the best experience with our Websites and Services, including the ability to easily discover and enjoy new Content. To help do that, Content you view across all Websites and Services may include promotional videos (e.g., previews or trailers) before and after that Content. Please note that Content you view (e.g., legal and medical shows) should not be relied upon for advice. For those who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or other photosensitivities, it is also important to remember that some Content may contain flashing lights sequences or patterns.

6. Live TV Service

We offer multiple services that provide access to different types of Content, including our live TV stream (“Live TV Service”). Please be aware that the Live TV Service may not match with the time zone of your geographic location. Certain Content may be unavailable due to your location, blackouts, or device-specific restrictions set by parties that control Content rights.

7. Compatible Devices

In order to access the Websites and Services, you will need to use a computer, mobile device, streaming media player, or other device that meets the system and compatibility requirements that we establish from time to time. Please note that Compatible Devices may vary by Websites and Service, and may be subject to additional terms.

8. Internet Service and Data Usage

In order to access some of the Websites and Services, you must have a high-speed broadband, wireless or similar internet connection from an internet service provider that meets certain technical specifications. Please note that multiple simultaneous streams, as well as HD Content, may require higher internet bandwidth. You are responsible for any costs associated with your internet service used to access the Services. Your use of the Websites and Services may count toward your data usage, depending on the terms of your agreement with your internet service provider.

9. Mobile Applications

If we offer some of our Websites and Services through applications available on your wireless or other mobile device (such as a mobile phone) (the “Mobile Application Services”), these Mobile Application Services may be governed by any additional terms governing the applicable Mobile Application Service (“Additional Terms”). We do not charge for these Mobile Application Services unless otherwise provided in the applicable Additional Terms. However, your wireless carrier’s standard messaging rates and other messaging, data and other rates and charges will apply to certain Mobile Application Services. You should check with your carrier to find out what plans your carrier offers and how much the plans cost. In addition, the use or availability of certain Mobile Application Services may be prohibited or restricted by your wireless carrier, and not all Mobile Application Services may work with all wireless carriers or devices. Therefore, you should check with your wireless carrier to find out if the Mobile Application Services are available for your wireless device, and what restrictions, if any, may be applicable to your use of such Mobile Application Services. If you change or deactivate your wireless telephone number, you agree to promptly update your user account information to ensure that your messages are not sent to the person that subsequently acquires your old number. We will promptly return to you or destroy any records or copies of your telephone number or other outdated information.

Under no circumstances will we, our subsidiaries, our licensees, assignees, distributors, agents, representatives, affiliates and other authorized users be responsible for any wireless email, text messaging or other charges incurred by a user (or any person that has access to a user’s wireless device, telephone number, or email address) using any Mobile Application Services.

Distributing Submissions through our Web Communities is for noncommercial purposes only and you may not Distribute in any manner which does or is intended to promote or generate revenue for any business enterprise or commercial activity.

10. Software Downloads and Additional Conditions

In order to participate in or access certain Websites and Services or access certain Content, you may be notified that it is necessary to download software or other materials or agree to additional terms and conditions. Unless otherwise provided by these additional terms and conditions, they are hereby incorporated into these Terms of Use.

11. Subscriptions and Billing

a. Ongoing Subscription and Fees. You will need a subscription to access some of our Websites and Services (“Subscription”). Should a Subscription require a payment for access, you authorize us and give us the right to charge you a recurring monthly or annual fee at the then current rate (“Subscription Payment”) as well as any other charges arising in connection with the Subscription service, such as taxes and possible transaction fees.
Your Subscription will continue and automatically renew on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your Subscription unless and until you cancel your Subscription, or your account is otherwise suspended or terminated pursuant to these Terms of Use. We reserve the right to change the terms of your Subscription, including price. We will give you advance notice of these changes, but we will not be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes.

b. Payment Method. Should a Subscription require a Subscription Payment, you will be required to provide a credit card or other payment method accepted by us, as may be updated from time to time (“Payment Method”). We will charge your Payment Method on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your Subscription. You are solely responsible for any and all fees charged to your Payment Method. When you provide a Payment Method, we will attempt to verify the information you entered by processing an authorization hold. We do not charge you in connection with this authorization hold, but your available balance or credit limit may be reduced. If you want to use a different Payment Method than the one you signed up to use during registration, you may edit your Payment Method information by logging into the applicable Service and viewing your account details.

c. Subscription Payment Holds. In the event of a failed attempt to charge to your Payment Method (e.g. if your Payment Method has expired), we reserve the right to retry billing your Payment Method. In the event that you or we (through our payment service providers) update your Payment Method to remedy a change in validity or expiration date, we will automatically resume the Subscription Payment. We may suspend or cancel your access to the Services if we remain unable to successfully charge a valid Payment Method. We also reserve the right to pursue any amounts you fail to pay in connection with your Subscription or the Subscription Payment, including collection costs, bank overdraft fees, collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and arbitration or court costs. We may or may not offer you the ability to pause your Subscription for a specified period of time. If you do not cancel before the end of an approved pause period, your Subscription Payment will resume automatically.

As used in these Terms of Use, “billing” shall indicate either a charge or debit of the Subscription Payment, as applicable, against your Payment Method. We will automatically bill your Payment Method on the later of the day you start your Subscription or the day your free trial ends, and on each recurring billing date thereafter. Your “Billing Period” is the interval of time between each recurring billing date and corresponds to the term of your Subscription. Where applicable, charges for one or more Subscription may be prorated for any partial month of service. You acknowledge that the timing of when you are billed and the amount billed each Billing Period may vary, including if your Subscription began on a day not contained in a given month (e.g. if you have a monthly subscription and became a paying subscriber on January 31, your Payment Method would next be billed on February 28), due to free trials and other promotional offers, gift card redemptions, credits applied, or changes in your Subscription or Payment Method.

d. Cancellation and Refunds. You can cancel your Subscription by logging into your account and following the instructions on your account page. You must cancel your Subscription prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the day before your next recurring billing date in order to avoid being charged the Subscription Payment. If you cancel your Subscription, you will continue to have access to the Website or Service through the end of your current Billing Period. However, if you modify your Subscription to switch from one Service to another Service during your Billing Period, you may not have continued access to your original Service.
Subscription Payments are nonrefundable. If you cancel, modify your Subscription, or if your account is otherwise terminated under these Terms of Use, you will not receive a credit, including for partially used periods of your Subscription. There are circumstances where we may provide credits on a case by case basis. The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion.

e. Free Trials. On occasion, we may offer free trials to a particular Website or Service, subject to specific terms explained during your sign-up. We reserve the right to determine eligibility for free trials, which may vary based on factors including the Websites or Services selected, how recently you redeemed a free trial, and whether the Website or Service is part of a combined offering. Certain limitations may also exist with respect to combining free trials with any other offers.
It is very important to understand that you will not receive a notice from us that your free trial has ended and the Subscription Payment related to your Subscription is due. If you wish to avoid charges to your Payment Method, you must cancel your Subscription prior to midnight Eastern Time on the last day of your free trial period. Because the Websites and Services are offered in multiple time zones, for consistency, a “day” for purposes of these Terms begins at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time and ends at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time of that same calendar day. You may cancel your Subscription at any time as described in the above “Cancellation and Refunds” section of these Terms of Use. If you cancel your Subscription during a free trial or while using a promotional code or other credits, cancellation may be effective immediately.

f. Promotions. If we offer you a promotion (e.g., a promotional price or bundled subscription), the specific terms of the promotion will be disclosed during your sign-up or in other materials provided to you. We will begin billing your Payment Method at the then-current, non-promotional price after your promotion ends unless you cancel prior to the end of your promotion or unless otherwise disclosed.

g. One-Time Pay Per View Events. We may offer one-time pay per view events in connection with the Websites and Services. Some of these events may be offered through a third-party, in which case you may be required to complete your purchase through and view the event using a third-party service. You will be charged for pay per view events at the time of purchase.

12. Accounts and Registration

You may be required to create an account and register in order to access certain Websites and Services. You are responsible for all use of your account, including use of your account by other members of your household. By allowing others to access your account or to create profiles within your account, you agree to be responsible for ensuring that they comply with these Terms of Use and you agree to be responsible for their activity using the Websites and Services. All registration information you submit must be accurate and updated.

If the “thank you” gift includes a Subscription for your on-going, credit card donation, your Subscription shall conform to the terms of the “Subscriptions and Billing” Section above, including without limitation that the Subscription will continue and automatically renew on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your on-going donation unless and until you cancel your Subscription, terminate your on-going donation payment, or your account is otherwise suspended or terminated pursuant to these Terms of Use.

For US residents, your donations to us are tax-deductible; however, IRS rules require that the fair market value of any gift received in connection with a donation must be subtracted from the amount claimed for deduction.

Residents outside of the US should check the tax laws in your country to determine applicable giving exemptions.

Also, you should be skeptical about information provided by others, and you acknowledge that the use of any Submission posted in any Web Community is at your own risk. For example, we are not responsible for, and we do not endorse, the opinions, advice or recommendations posted or sent by users in any Web Community and we specifically disclaim any and all liability in connection therewith.

You understand, acknowledge and agree that we have the right to delete, re-format and/or change your Submissions in any manner that we may determine.
