Your Subscription will continue and automatically renew until terminated.

For the purposes of these Terms of Use, the term “Subscription Services” shall be incorporated into and made part of the term “Services” as used herein.

License. We offer a non-exclusive limited license to use the Subscription Services, including accessing and viewing the Exclusive Content on a streaming-only basis through an online video player for viewing the Exclusive Content (the “Video Player”) for personal, non-commercial purposes as set forth in these Terms of Use. The periods during which Subscribers can view each piece of Exclusive Content and/or utilize the Video Player will vary based on the rights availability of such Exclusive Content and/or Video Player and the terms of his or her Subscription, including, without limitation, any applicable SaaS Agreement and/or Subscription Services Agreement.

Usage Rules and Limitations. You may only access and view the Exclusive Content, as well as utilize the Subscription Services, if you become a Subscriber and establish a Subscription and such use must be personal and for a non-commercial purpose in compliance with these Terms of Use and any applicable Subscription Services Agreement. 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 Exclusive Content or any digital rights management mechanism, device, or other content protection or access control measure associated with the Exclusive Content including geo-filtering mechanisms. 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 Exclusive Content unless expressly permitted by the terms of your Subscription and if permitted by Povte in writing. You may not incorporate the Exclusive Content into, or stream or retransmit the Exclusive Content via, any hardware or software application or make it available via frames or in-line links unless expressly permitted by Povte in writing. Furthermore, you may not create, recreate, distribute or advertise an index of any significant portion of the Exclusive Content unless authorized by Povte. You may not build a business utilizing the Exclusive Content, whether or not for profit. The Exclusive Content covered by these restrictions includes without limitation any text, graphics, layout, interface, logos, photographs, audio and video materials, and stills. In addition, you are strictly prohibited from creating derivative works or materials that otherwise are derived from or based on in any way the Exclusive Content, including montages, mash-ups and similar videos, wallpaper, desktop themes, greeting cards, and merchandise, unless expressly permitted by Povte in writing. This prohibition applies even if you intend to give away the derivative materials free of charge.

Content Subjectivity. The Exclusive Content tends to elicit varying reactions among different people. You may come across Content that you find offensive, indecent, explicit or objectionable. Also, Exclusive Content types, genres, categories, and descriptions are provided as suggestions to help with navigation, and Povte does not guarantee that you will agree with them. You acknowledge these risks.

Content Quality. Quality of the Exclusive Content, including resolution, may be affected by the format of the Exclusive Content, your location, the speed and bandwidth of your internet service, and the devices used, among other factors. HD and 4K Ultra HD availability for certain Exclusive Content depends on your internet service and device capabilities. The time it takes you to begin playing Exclusive 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 Exclusive Content you have selected, and the configuration of the device you are using. As a result, Povte is unable to make any warranties about the Exclusive Content in these respects.

The Video Player. You may not modify, enhance, remove, interfere with, or otherwise alter in any way any portion of the Video Player, its underlying technology, any digital rights management mechanism, device, or other content protection or access control measure incorporated into the Video Player. This restriction includes, without limitation, disabling, reverse engineering, modifying, interfering with or otherwise circumventing the Video Player in any manner that enables users to view the Content without: (i) displaying visibly both the Video Player and all surrounding elements (including the graphical user interface, any advertising, copyright notices, and trademarks) of the Access Point(s) where the Video Player is located; and (ii) having full access to all functionality of the Video Player, including, without limitation, all video quality and display functionality and all interactive, elective, or click-through advertising functionality.

Embedding a Video Using the Video Player. Where there is an embed option in connection with Exclusive Content, you may embed videos using the Video Player, provided you do not embed the Video Player on any website or other location that (i) contains or hosts content that is unlawful, infringing, pornographic, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, harassing, vulgar, indecent, profane, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, encourages criminal conduct, gives rise to civil liability, violates any law, rule, or regulation, infringes any right of any third party including intellectual property rights, or is otherwise inappropriate or objectionable to Povte (in Povte’ sole discretion), or (ii) links to infringing or unauthorized content (collectively, “Unsuitable Material”). You may not embed the Video Player into any hardware or software application, even for non-commercial purposes. Povte reserves the right to prevent embedding to any website or other location that Povte finds inappropriate or objectionable (as determined by Povte in its sole discretion).

Compatible Devices. In order to access the Subscription 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 (each, a “Compatible Device”). Features and functionalities that we make available through the Subscription Services may differ by Compatible Device and the terms of your Subscription. For a current list of Compatible Devices, please contact us – please see Section 38 (“Contact Us”) below.

Internet Service and Data Usage. In order to access the Subscription 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 and 4K Ultra HD Exclusive Content, may require higher internet bandwidth. You are responsible for any costs associated with your internet service used to access the Subscription Services. Your use of the Subscription Services may count toward your data usage, depending on the terms of your agreement with your internet service provider.

Ownership. You agree that Povte owns and retains all rights to the Subscription Services. You further agree that the Exclusive Content you access and view as part of the Subscription Services is owned or controlled by Povte and/or Povte’ affiliates, partners and/or content programmers. The Subscription Services and the Exclusive Content are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Subscriptions. While we may offer Exclusive Content from time to time for free, we charge a fee to access the Subscription Services. The Subscription Services may include different Exclusive Content offerings and features, with different benefits, conditions, and limitations.

Furthermore, we may offer a number of Subscription 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 Subscription 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 the specific details regarding your Subscription at any time by logging into the applicable Site and viewing your Account details and/or by contacting us – please see Section 38 (“Contact Us”) below.

Billing. By providing a credit card or other payment method accepted by Povte (“Payment Method”) for your Subscription, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge you a periodic subscription fee on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your Subscription and any other fees for additional Services you may purchase, and any applicable taxes and possible transaction fees in connection with your use of your Subscription to the Payment Method. If you want to use a different Payment Method than the one you signed up to use during registration, or if there is a change in your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method information by logging in on the applicable Site and viewing your Account details and/or by contacting us – please see Section 38 (“Contact Us”) below. When you provide a Payment Method to access a Subscription, including in connection with any free trial offer we might provide, our system will attempt to verify the information you entered. We do this by processing an authorization hold, which is a standard practice. We do not charge you in connection with this authorization hold. If your Payment Method expires and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your Account, you authorize us to continue billing, and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. Please refer to our Privacy Policy as to how credit card information you supply on or through the Sites and/or Services is transmitted via secured methods, such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology or other similar encryption methods.

As used in these Terms, “billing” shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method. The Subscription fee will be billed at the beginning of your subscription or expiration of your free trial period, if any, whichever is earlier, and on each periodic renewal date thereafter unless and until you cancel your Subscription or the Account or Subscription Services is otherwise suspended or discontinued pursuant to these Terms of Use. To see the commencement date for your next renewal period, log in on the applicable Site and view your Account details and/or please feel free to contact us – please see Section 38 (“Contact Us”) below.

We automatically bill your Payment Method on the calendar day corresponding to commencement of your Subscription. Where applicable, charges may be prorated for any partial month of service. The interval of time between each recurring payment due date shall correspond to the term of your Subscription and be referred to herein as a “Billing Period.” In the event your Subscription began on a day not contained in a given month, we bill your Payment Method on the last day of such month. For example, if you have a monthly Subscription and became a paying Subscriber on January 31, your Payment Method would next be billed on February 28. You acknowledge that the timing of when you are billed and the amount billed each Billing Period may vary, including for example due to free trials and other promotional offers, gift card redemptions, credits applied, changes in your Subscription, changes in your Payment Method, and changes in applicable taxes, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for the corresponding amounts.

If we offer you a promotion (e.g., a promotional price) for your Subscription, the specific terms of the promotion will be disclosed during your sign-up or in other materials provided to you describing the particular promotion. In the case of promotional pricing, we will begin billing your Payment Method for your Subscription at the regular price after your promotion ends unless you cancel prior to the end of your promotion or unless otherwise disclosed in communications made available to you.

NOTE: Povte reserves the right to change the terms of your Subscription, including price, from time to time, effective as of the beginning of your next Billing Period following the date of the change. If Povte changes the Subscription fee or other charges for your Subscription, we will give you advance notice of these changes. However, we will not be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes.

Very rarely, if there are special circumstances where Povte determines it is appropriate (e.g., your access to the Subscription Services is unavailable for days due to technical difficulties), we may provide credits to affected Subscribers. The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at Povte’s sole and absolute discretion, and the provision of credits in one instance does not entitle anyone to credits in the future under similar or different circumstances.

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.

Ongoing Subscription and Cancellation. Your Subscription will continue in effect on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your Subscription unless and until you cancel your Subscription or the Account or Service is otherwise suspended, discontinued or cancelled pursuant to these Terms of Use and/or any applicable Subscription Services Agreement. You must cancel your Subscription before your next renewal date in order to avoid the next billing. We will bill the periodic Subscription fee plus any applicable taxes to the Payment Method you provide to us during registration (or to a different Payment Method if you change your Account information). In the event that you modify your Subscription during your Billing Period, you might not have continued access to your original Subscription Services.

You may cancel your Subscription at any time by deleting your Account. If you cancel your Subscription, cancellation will be effective at the end of the current Billing Period – this means that you will have continued access to your Subscription for the remainder of that period, but you will not receive a refund. You will also forfeit any service, referral, or redeemed gift card credits upon cancellation, including if you switch your billing from Povte to a third party. You can cancel your Subscription by logging into your Account and following the instructions on your Account page on the applicable Site or in the settings of our mobile application, if available, and/or please feel free to contact us – please see Section 38 (“Contact Us”) below. If you pay for the Subscription Services through your Account with a third party (e.g., Apple iTunes) and want to cancel your subscription or manage your billing, you may need to do so through your Account with such third party.

NOTE: We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel your Subscription or otherwise restrict your access to the Subscription Services for any reason, including, without limitation, your breach of these Terms of Use or any applicable Subscription Services Agreement.

Unpaid Amounts. It is important that each Subscriber honor the payment obligations to which the Subscriber agreed. Accordingly, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to retry billing your Payment Method after failed attempts (e.g., if your Payment Method is rejected). We also reserve the right to pursue any amounts you fail to pay in connection with your Subscription. You will remain liable for all such amounts and all costs incurred in connection with the collection of these amounts, including, without limitation, bank overdraft fees, collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and arbitration or court costs.

Changes to the Price and Subscription Plans. We reserve the right to change our Subscription Services plans or adjust pricing for our Subscription Services 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.

No Refunds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Use, payments for the Subscription Services 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 Subscription Services 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 Subscribers (“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.

Your Posts. As part of the Services, users may have an opportunity to publish, transmit, submit, or otherwise post (collectively, “Post”) reviews, comments, or other materials (collectively, “User Material”). In order to keep the Services enjoyable for all of our users, you must adhere to the rules below, as well as additional rules applicable to any Povte-hosted site.

Please choose carefully the User Material that you Post. Please limit yourself to User Material directly relevant to the Services. Moreover, you must not Post User Material that: (i) contains Unsuitable Material (as defined above in this Section 14); (ii) improperly claims the identity of another person; and/or (iii) otherwise violates these Terms of Use and/or any applicable SaaS Agreement or Subscription Services Agreement. Please note that if you Post User Material on Povte using a third–party service, such as a social network or email provider, your first and last name or other user ID may appear to the public each time you Post. We advise that you do not, and you should also be careful if you decide to, Post additional personal information, such as your email address, telephone number, or street address.

By submitting User Material, you represent and warrant that you own the User Material or otherwise have the right to grant Povte the license provided below. You also represent and warrant that the Posting of your User Material does not violate any right of any party, including privacy rights, publicity rights, and intellectual property rights. In addition, you agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and other payments owed to any party by reason of your Posting User Material. Povte will remove all User Material if we are properly notified that such User Material infringes on another person’s rights. You acknowledge that Povte does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any User Material.

By Posting User Material, you are not forfeiting any ownership rights in such material to Povte. After Posting your User Material, you continue to retain all of the same ownership rights you had prior to Posting. By Posting your User Material, you grant Povte a limited license to use, display, reproduce, distribute, modify, delete from, add to, prepare derivative works of, publicly perform, and publish such User Material through the Sites and Services and on other platforms and services worldwide, including on or through any Access Point, in perpetuity, in any media formats and any media channels now known or hereinafter created. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by you and Povte in writing, the license you grant to Povte is non-exclusive (meaning you are not prohibited by us from licensing your User Material to anyone else in addition to Povte), fully-paid, royalty-free (meaning that Povte is not required to pay you for the use of your User Material), and sub licensable (so that Povte is able to use its affiliates, subcontractors, and other partners, such as internet content delivery networks, to provide the Services). By posting your User Material, you also hereby grant each user of the Sites and Services a non-exclusive, limited license to access your User Material, and to use, display, reproduce, distribute, and perform such User Material as permitted through the functionality of the Services and under these Terms of Use.

In no event does Povte assume any responsibility or liability whatsoever for any User Material, and you agree to waive any legal or equitable rights or remedies you may have against Povte with respect to such User Material. You can help us tremendously by notifying us of any inappropriate User Material you find by emailing info@povte.com.com (subject line: “Inappropriate User Material”).

It is Povte’s policy not to accept unsolicited submissions, including scripts, story lines, articles, fan fiction, characters, drawings, information, suggestions, ideas, or concepts. Povte’s policy is to delete any such submission without reading it.
