AVO TV OTT Viewer Terms of Service Agreement

​

 

Last updated: 9 February 2021

 

This AVO TV Viewer Terms of Service Agreement (“Agreement”) is between you and AVO TV Limited (for the purposes hereof, “AVO TV,” “we” or “us”). The Agreement governs your use of the “AVO TV Service,” an online platform that allows consumers like you to view video programs (“Programs”) from content owners and licensors (“AVO TV”) through AVO TV branded websites and applications that we power.

Notice: Section 10 of this Agreement contains a mandatory ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. By using the AVO TV Service, you agree that any claims you may have against AVO TV relating to the AVO TV Service must be ARBITRATED, and you waive the right to (1) assert claims against AVO TV in court: (2) participate in a class action; and (3) have a jury hear your case.

1. Acceptance

By creating an account, viewing videos, making a purchase, downloading AVO TV branded applications that we power, or otherwise visiting or using the AVO TV Service, you accept this Agreement and consent to contract with us electronically.

If you are an entity other than a natural person, the person who registers the account or otherwise uses the AVO TV Service must have the authority to bind the entity. In this context, “you” means both the entity and each person who is authorized to access the account.

We may update this Agreement by posting a revised version on our website. By continuing to use the AVO TV Service, you accept any revised Agreement.

You may terminate the Agreement at any time by deleting your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account for your breach of the terms hereof. If AVO TV deletes your account for breach, you may not re-register. In the event of any termination or expiration of the Agreement, the following sections will survive: Section 7 (Disclaimers), Section 8 (Limitation of Liability), Section 9 (Indemnification), Section 10 (Arbitration Agreement; Jury Waiver; Class Action Waiver), and Section 11 (General Provisions).

2. Accounts

Registration: You must create an account to use certain features we offer (e.g., to view a Program). To do so, you must provide an email address. By creating an account, you agree to receive notices from AVO TV you purchase at this email address.

Age Requirements: You may not create an account if you are younger than 18 years of age. By creating an account, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age, and, to the extent required by law, you have the permission of a parent or guardian to create an account and use the AVO TV Service.

Parents and Guardians: By granting your child permission to use the AVO TV Service through your account, you agree and understand that you are responsible for monitoring and supervising your child's usage. If you believe your child is using your account and does not have your permission, please contact us immediately so that we can disable access.

Account Security: You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including unauthorized activity. You must safeguard the confidentiality of your account credentials. If you are using a computer that others have access to, you must log out of your account after each session. If you become aware of unauthorized access to your account, you must change your password and notify us immediately.

3. Privacy

Please review our Privacy Policy to learn about the information we collect from you when you use the AVO TV Service, how we use it, and with whom we share it.

4. Program Viewing and Purchase Options

AVO TV may offer the following purchase options through AVO TV branded websites and applications:

• Rental: After paying the stated fee, you may stream the Program an unlimited number of times during the stated rental period.

• Purchase: After paying the stated fee, you may stream the Program an unlimited number of times; if offered by the Producer, you may download the Program.

• Subscription: For a recurring fee, you may stream the Programs offered within a Producer’s subscription channel an unlimited number of times during your subscription period. The Producer may add or remove Programs from the channel at any time.

To make a purchase, you must provide a valid payment method. We may apply taxes, including VAT (value-added tax), to any charges. Prices and other terms of purchase are subject to change. If a Producer provides you access to a Program on a free basis, such access will be deemed a “purchase” for the purpose of this Agreement.

ALL PURCHASES, INCLUDING RECURRING CHARGES, ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.

Free trials and Discounts: AVO TV may offer free-trial or discounted subscriptions. When a free-trial period ends, your paid subscription begins (unless you have cancelled) and you must pay the full monthly or annual fee. If AVO TV provides a discount for the first subscription period, you must pay the discounted fee; in any renewal, you must pay the full fee.

Automatic Renewal: To the extent permitted by applicable law, subscriptions automatically renew for the subscription period until you cancel. Your payment method will be charged at the beginning of each subscription period. If a Purchaser offers a free-trial period, your payment method will be charged at the end of the free-trial period unless you cancel before the end of that period.

How to Decline Renewal: To pause or cancel a subscription, visit your account settings. Your changes will be applied to your next subscription period.

In-App Purchase: AVO TV may allow you to purchase subscriptions within apps you download. When you make such “in-app” purchases, you will be billed by the app platform, not us. To turn off automatic renewal for subscriptions, access your platform’s account settings (not AVO TV’s). Any billing inquiries should be directed to the app platform.

5. Licenses and Intellectual Property

License to Programs: Subject to the terms hereof, you have the right to stream and/or (if offered) download for your personal entertainment purposes: (i) Programs that you have rented during the stated rental period; (ii) Programs that you have purchased; and (iii) Programs made available within the AVO TV channel that you have subscribed to during your subscription period.

Restrictions: You may not resell streams or downloads, use any Program for any commercial purpose, redistribute or retransmit any Program, publicly perform or display any Program, or make derivative works from any Program. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by the applicable Producer.

AVO TV Service: Subject to the terms hereof, AVO TV grants you permission to use the AVO TV Service for the sole purpose of viewing Programs for your personal entertainment. All rights not expressly granted by AVO TV are reserved.

AVO TV Apps: If you download an AVO TV application that we power (an “app”) that operates on a third-party platform (e.g., iOS, Roku): (i) you have the right to use such app for your personal, non-commercial use on devices permitted by the platform operator; (ii) as between AVO TV and the platform operator (but without creating any obligation by AVO TV), AVO TV shall be responsible for the apps and their content and providing any warranty, support, or indemnification with respect to such apps as required by law; and (iii) the platform operator shall have the right to enforce the terms of this clause with respect to your use of the app.

Your Content; Feedback: To the extent that you submit any content to AVO TV (i.e. in your profile, a comment, or forum), you grant AVO TV an irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual right and license to use, copy, adapt, transmit, distribute, license, and publicly perform and display such content in all media for any purpose whatsoever.

The quality of your viewing experience depends on a number of factors, including your viewing device and the quality of your Internet connection.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AVO TV, ITS PARENT, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, CONSULTANTS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AND PARTNERS (INCLUDING AVO TV) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR (I) ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES; (II) DAMAGES RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND A PRODUCER OR OTHER AVO TV USER; OR (III) DAMAGES EXCEEDING THE GREATER OF USD $100 OR THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO AVO TV OVER THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE FILING OF YOUR CLAIM.

The foregoing limitations apply to all claims, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, whether or not AVO TV has been informed of the possibility of such damage, and whether a remedy set forth herein is found to have failed its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability as set forth above, so these limitations above may not apply to you.

10. General Provisions

Choice of Law: Any disputes relating to this Agreement or your use of the AVO TV OTT Service will be governed by the laws of the United Kingdom.

No Waiver: The failure of AVO TV to exercise or enforce any term of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such term.

No Third Parties: No third parties shall have any rights under this Agreement, except that AVO TV may enforce the terms herein against you, and indemnified parties may enforce indemnification rights.

Force Majeure: Neither AVO TV nor any Producer shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; natural disasters; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; strikes; epidemics; riots; power failures; computer failure; loss or malfunction of utility, transportation, computer (hardware or software) or telephone communication service; accidents; labour disputes, acts of civil or military authority; governmental actions; or inability to obtain labour, material, equipment or transportation.
