Please note that Fancy Flix does not knowingly, and has no intention of, collecting personal information from individuals under the age of 13 (“children”). Nonetheless, we are committed to protecting children’s privacy on the Internet. If you are a parent, other concerned adult, or legal guardian that is aware that any child has provided us with personal information, then we ask that you or any other legal guardian of the child contact us immediately by sending an email to: support@fancyflix.com.

We take reasonable commercial measures designed to protect the personal information and certain non-personal information Fancy Flix collects, uses, stores, shares, and transfers. We have implemented physical, technological and organizational procedures designed to protect the integrity and security, and to ensure the appropriate use of your personal information. We endeavor to ensure that our business partners, service providers and any other third party to whom we provide access to your personal information provides a level of security at least as protective as ours. These procedures are tailored to the nature, sensitivity, and format of the information accessed, collected, used, stored, shared, or transferred by Fancy Flix.

As further described in this Privacy Policy below, aggregated and de-identified data may be published by Fancy Flix, its business partners, and/or its service providers for use by other third parties.
This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by, or on behalf of, Fancy Flix; provided, however, that this Privacy Policy and our Services, such as our Websites and Apps, contain links to other websites owned, operated or otherwise controlled, or managed by third parties and not by Fancy Flix. The third parties who operate those websites may implement policies related to their collection, use, disclosure, storage and transfer of personal information and non-personal information differently than we do. This could be the case even for those websites that advertise or offer our Services for sale or otherwise use our trademarks or logos or identify us as being a client, customer or as having any other similar relationship to such third party or third-party website or other platform.
Please be aware that Fancy Flix is not responsible for the data collection, use, disclosure and storage practices (or any action or omission) of companies or organizations to which our website may provide links. Some links are provided by us in connection with our efforts to provide you with comprehensive information on our Services and the information practices described herein.

Please be aware that in most cases, we will retain the previously entered information for some period of time as necessary for our business purposes and/or to comply with legal requirements. If you have trouble accessing or correcting personal information or are experiencing issues related to our billing service provider, please contact us at: support@fancyflix.com.
Do We Enable Social Sharing?
From time to time, we may offer you the choice to connect your Membership Account to Third-Party Accounts.

If you decide that you are not comfortable with the sharing involved, then do not connect your Membership Account to any Third-Party Account(s) or use the particular social feature available.
Choosing to connect to any Third-Party Account may allow you to take advantage of a variety of other social features, including, sending recommendations to your “friends” or other connected users, and sharing what you watch with them automatically. Please be aware that by choosing to connect your Membership Account to any Third-Party Account, you are agreeing to these Social Terms and are consenting to the collection, use, and sharing of information about you (which in some cases may include sharing what you watch) with us and others as explained herein.

We may combine information we collect from any connected Third-Party Account and/or any other source, with information we collect in connection with the Services, as further explained in this Privacy Policy.

For example, we may use information from your Third-Party Account to personalize and improve your experience, our Services and marketing efforts, such as disclosing your name and profile picture to your friends and/or other connected Users to encourage them to connect.

Fancy Flix makes no representations or warranties about the speed or quality of your watching experience on your or any device, and reserves the right to change our Services (e.g., the format) based on the specifications of your Internet Connectivity (e.g., if your Internet Connection or device do not meet our required standards for accessing and viewing high-definition (“HD”) content, then any HD content accessed by you may be automatically re-formatted by us in an attempt to improve your experience). We suggest that you ensure that your Internet Connectivity, Permitted Device(s) and configuration are compatible with our Services and the format thereof. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to look solely to the entity that provides your Internet Connection for any issues related to such connection and/or its compatibility with, or sufficiency for accessing and using, any of our Services.
Devices. Not all devices are compatible, or permissible, for use with our Services. Currently we only support Android mobile devices. Permitted Devices, are manufactured and sold by entities other than Fancy Flix. In order to use our Services, you must have a Permitted Device, and you will need to obtain such Permitted Device from a third-party provider of such device at your sole cost and expense. You may use more than one Permitted Device, but the number of Authorized User(s) concurrently accessing or using our Services may be limited to one (1) Permitted Device at any time. In addition, certain of our Services, or portions of the functionality thereof, may be “blacked-out” or not-available on certain Permitted Device(s). By accessing or using any of our Services, you agree to look solely to the third party that manufactured and/or sold you the device for any issues related to such device, the operating system thereon and/or its or their compatibility with any of our Services.
Use of Adaptive Bitrate Streaming. Our audiovisual Services, including, without limitation, live TV channels, use adaptive bitrate streaming (“ABS”), which creates multiple versions of each program, recorded at different bitrates, to optimize playback of the applicable audiovisual content at any given time based upon the capabilities of the applicable playback device and available internet bandwidth.
Service Changes; Packaging of Services. In addition to, and without limiting any other provisions in these Terms of Use, Fancy Flix may, permanently or temporarily, add, delete, rearrange, alter, interrupt, change, and/or eliminate: (i) any and all prices, fees and/or charges; (ii) packages, programming, programming suppliers, services offered by suppliers; (iii) availability of the Cloud DVR with respect to any particular programming and/or programming suppliers, (iv) software, applications, features and/or functionalities and technical and/or functional requirements, (v) Permitted Devices, (iv) compatible operating systems, (iiv) and/or minimum Internet Connectivity required to use the Services, from time to time and at any time. In the event that we add, alter and/or change any prices, fees and/or charges, then you agree to pay such added, altered, and/or changed prices, fees and/or charges. In the event that we add, delete, rearrange, alter, change and/or eliminate any packages, availability with respect to any particular programming and/or programming suppliers, software, applications, features and/or functionalities, then you acknowledge and agree that (a) we have no obligation to replace or supplement such packages, availability with respect to any particular programming and/or programming suppliers, software, applications, features and/or functionalities, and (b) you are not entitled to any credits, refunds, price reductions or any other form of compensation because of any such addition, deletion, rearrangement, alteration, change and/or elimination. You further acknowledge and agree that such additions, deletions, rearrangements, alterations, changes and/or eliminations are not a discretionary act by us if they are due, in whole or in part, to the termination, suspension or expiration of our legal right to provide such packages, availability with respect to any particular programming and/or programming suppliers, software, applications, features and/or functionalities.
Programming Content and Restrictions. Certain of our Services may be “blacked out” in your viewing area (e.g., local broadcast channels, sporting events and/or other content for which you do not have the rights to access); if you circumvent or attempt to circumvent any of these “blackouts,” then you may be subject to legal action brought by us or third parties. Certain of our Services may have additional restrictions and your access to such Services will be subject to those restrictions (e.g., you must be at least 18 years of age, or the applicable age of majority where you live, in order to access certain adult-oriented programming or similar Services).
Compliance with Law. You agree to use our Services, including all features and functionalities associated therewith, in accordance with all applicable laws (e.g., public performance limitations or other restrictions on any use of our Services or contents therein). You agree not to archive, download (other than through caching necessary for personal use), reproduce, distribute, modify, display, perform, publish, license, create derivative works from, offer for sale, or otherwise use or gain access to all or any portion of our Services, except as explicitly authorized in these Terms of Use, without express written permission from Fancy Flix. You also agree not to: circumvent, remove, alter, deactivate, degrade, thwart or otherwise interfere with any of our Services; use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access our Services; decompile, reverse engineer or disassemble any of our Services (e.g., software or other products); insert any code or product, or otherwise manipulate or interfere with our Services (e.g., running any of our Services on a device not permitted for use by us); or, use any data mining, data gathering, or extraction method. In addition, you agree not to upload, post, e-mail, or otherwise send or transmit any material designed to interrupt, interfere with, destroy, or limit the functionality of any of our Services, or other software, hardware, or telecommunications equipment associated with our Services (e.g., any software viruses or any other computer code, files, or programs). In the event that we learn that you are using any Service in a manner that constitutes infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, including rights granted by U.S. copyright law, your Membership Account will be terminated.
Membership Account; Login Credentials. Prior to accessing certain of our Services, you will be required to provide certain personal information determined by us as necessary to create a Membership Account. To become an Authorized User you must first register with us for a Membership Account. You will be required to create login credentials, comprised of a user name and password (“Login Credentials”) designed to enable access and use your Membership Account. You are responsible for any and all actions, omissions, or other activities related to your Membership Account, including any Authorized Users you permit to be linked to your Membership Account (if any, and only to the extent, permitted by us). The person in whose name any Membership Account is used for access to our Services, and whose payment method is charged, if any, is referred to as the “Account Owner.” As an Account Owner you may have access to and control over your Membership Account, any Authorized Users linked to your Membership Account, and the Services available in connection therewith. If you have a Membership Account, then your control of such Membership Account is exercised through your use and protection of your password. Please be aware that to maintain exclusive control and ensure compliance with these Terms of Use, you may not reveal or share your Login Credentials with anyone. In addition, if you would like to ensure that others cannot access your Membership Account by contacting our Customer Service (as defined in Section 6 below) and potentially altering your control, then you should take the necessary precautions not to reveal any personal or sensitive information used to identify yourself in connection with a lost password or user name (e.g., billing information, government issued IDs, or secret question answers). If you believe that your Membership Account has been accessed by anyone other than you or any Authorized Users you have permitted thereunder, or otherwise without permission or in any unauthorized manner, then you must contact us immediately at: support@fancyflix.com. You are responsible for updating and maintaining the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us relating to your Membership Account (e.g., current billing information for Subscription Services (as defined below)). YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY SHARING ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES OR YOUR LOGIN CREDENTIALS, OR BY OTHERWISE ALLOWING OTHERS TO ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNT, YOU AGREE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSURING THAT ANY AND ALL SUCH USERS COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS OF USE AND THAT YOU OR THE NAMED PERSON ON THE APPLICABLE MEMBERSHIP ACCOUNT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL ACTIONS, OMISSIONS AND/OR OTHER USE ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH MEMBERSHIP ACCOUNT. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF YOU SHARE OR OTHERWISE MAKE YOUR ACCOUNT AVAILABLE TO ANY THIRD PARTY (E.G., FORGETTING TO LOG OUT OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP ACCOUNT ON A SHARED OR PUBLIC DEVICE), THEN SUCH THIRD PARTY(IES) MAY BE ABLE TO ACCESS ANY AND ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN YOUR MEMBERSHIP ACCOUNT (E.G., CERTAIN PERSONAL INFORMATION, BILLING INFORMATION, SETTINGS, VIDEO RENTAL AND VIEWING HISTORY AND OTHER RELATED VIEWING PREFERENCES (IF ANY) ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT).
Account Access; Cookies. In order to provide you with ease of access to your Membership Account and to help administer our Services, Fancy Flix uses technology that enables us to recognize you as an Authorized User and to provide you with direct access to your account without requiring you to retype any Login Credentials every time that you access, use, or otherwise revisit our Services, including via any Permitted Devices. For information about how cookies allow us to simplify the ease of access to your Membership Account, please review “Cookies, Web Beacons, Tags, Other Technologies and Online Tracking” section of our Privacy Policy.
Logging in Through Third-Party Accounts; Third-Party Accounts. We may, but are not obligated, to permit you to elect to share certain information about your use of our Services (e.g., by posting what you watch or recommend with third-party accounts, on third-party platforms and such third parties you elect to connect to your Membership Account). Your use of any social features made available to you in connection with the Services is subject to the “Social Terms” section of our Privacy Policy. We suggest that you review our Privacy Policy, including the Social Terms, in its entirety before electing to connect your Membership Account, or otherwise share any information about you with any third party (e.g., by logging in via any social networking or other third-party account). We further suggest that you review the Privacy Policy of any such third-party account or third-party platform in its entirety before making the same election to connect your Membership Account thereto.
Requests for Information. You should be mindful of any communication requesting that you submit any personal or other sensitive information (e.g., your personal information, credit or debit card account information, Login Credentials, or secrets questions), and before confirming any such request, you should contact Customer Service immediately at: support@fancyflix.com. Please be aware that providing your information in response to these types of communications can result in, among other things, identity theft or fraud. Always access your sensitive account information (e.g., your personal information, credit or debit card account information, Login Credentials, or secrets questions) via our Websites or Apps, or by contacting Customer Service directly at: support@fancyflix.com. In order to protect Fancy Flix and its affiliates, media providers, device providers, business partners, or other service providers or licensors (collectively, “Contributors”), we reserve the right, and may, from time to time and at any time, without providing notice to you, place on hold (or otherwise suspend) your Membership Account in connection with any activity that we believe to be fraudulent, illegal, in violation of these Terms of Use, or otherwise suspicious. We may evaluate or elect to provide credits, refunds, price adjustments or other discounts, compensation or recompense, from time to time and at any time, in our sole and absolute discretion, BUT WE ARE NOT OBLIGATED, AND YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT, TO ANY CREDIT, REFUND, PRICE ADJUSTMENT OR ANY OTHER DISCOUNT, COMPENSATION OR RECOMPENSE FOR HOLDS PLACED ON YOUR ACCOUNT, IF ANY.
Device Deactivation. If your device is transferred, lost, or stolen, then you must immediately contact Customer Service at: support@fancyflix.com. It is your sole responsibility to notify us of any transferred, lost, or stolen devices, and to prevent any unauthorized access to our Services and your Membership Account. Please review the risks and responsibilities of allowing third-party access to your Membership Account (see Section 3.A. above) that may result from your failure to notify us that your device was transferred, lost, or stolen.
Transactional Services. Certain of our Services may be made available by us without requiring any commitment from you to pay any fees or other amounts (e.g., use of our Websites and Apps, access to any available content therein, and video-on-demand libraries) (collectively, “Transactional Services”). Your access to, and use of, any Transactional Services are governed by these Terms of Use, and once you create or request a Membership Account to access certain of our Services, you will be a member until you or we permanently cancel your Membership Account and all Subscription Services with us. For example, you must abide by these Terms of Use in connection with your creation and use of any Membership Account used solely to access our Services, regardless of whether you ever provide payment information for any other paid Transactional Services. You may be required to provide a payment method and necessary billing information in order to receive certain other Transactional Services (e.g., certain paid “a-la-carte” video-on-demand rentals or pay-per-view offerings). Any and all users that create a Membership Account automatically enroll in membership to our Services UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU CONTACT US TO PERMANENTLY CANCEL AND DELETE INFORMATION RELATED TO YOUR MEMBERSHIP ACCOUNT BY CONTACTING CUSTOMER SERVICE AT support@fancyflix.com., or until we elect to permanently cancel your Membership Account and Subscription Services (as defined below) for any purpose (e.g., in accordance with our standard information retention and destruction processes).
Subscription Services. Certain of our Services may be made available by us solely in connection with your agreement to purchase a subscription to such Services for a set period (e.g., monthly or yearly subscription term) (collectively, “Subscription Services”). Regardless of the period for which you purchased any Subscription Services, following the completion of any such subscription period, your Subscription Services will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis at the then-current standard rates for monthly access to the same Subscription Services, unless and until they are cancelled or changed by you or Fancy Flix in accordance with these Terms of Use.
Packages of Subscription Services. We may offer a number of different packages of Subscription Services, including special promotional packages, each governed by any supplemental Promotional Terms provided at the time of your first access or use of such Services. Some promotional packages may be 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. We reserve the right to modify, terminate, or otherwise amend the Subscription Services offered by us, and the contents of the packages and levels thereof.
Minimum Requirements. Fancy Flix reserves the right to require and/or change minimum programming package requirements, from time to time and at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion. For example, Fancy Flix may require a minimum commitment term, or Fancy Flix may require you to subscribe to a minimum level or package of our Services in order to view certain content or obtain access to purchase additional levels or packages of Subscription Services. In order to purchase certain packages, you may be required to first subscribe to Services for a set term (e.g., a year-long subscription).
Promotional Offers. You may initially accept a promotional offer for a certain package of Services that later becomes unavailable. Promotional offers do not automatically renew and may not be available at the end of, or during, the applicable promotional period, and following the completion of any such promotion, the Subscription Services will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis at the then-current standard rates for monthly access to the same Subscription Services, unless and until they are cancelled or changed by you or Fancy Flix, in accordance with these Terms of Use.
Only One Promotion per Account Owner. Promotional offers may not be combined with other promotional offers associated with any account that you own, unless otherwise expressly permitted in the applicable Promotional Terms. Fancy Flix reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine your eligibility for any promotional offer pursuant to the applicable Promotional Terms. Fancy Flix reserves the right to change, amend and alter then-current promotional offers or Promotional Terms as well as institute new promotional offers, from time to time and at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion. We do not guarantee that any promotional offers are or will be available to you at all, or in connection with any Services desired by you.
Cancellation Policies. Your Subscription Services are prepaid on a monthly billing period basis and you may contact us to cancel them at any time by visiting support@fancyflix.com. Because charges are prepaid each billing period, when you contact us to cancel your Subscription Services, your subscription will continue, and you will be able to enjoy your Subscription Services through the end of, the then-current billing period (except as otherwise provided herein to the contrary (see Section 5.D.) or in any Promotional Terms). Refunds are not issued for a partial billing period. WE ARE NOT OBLIGATED, AND YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT, TO ANY CREDIT, REFUND, PRICE ADJUSTMENT OR ANY OTHER DISCOUNT, COMPENSATION OR RECOMPENSE FOR ANY PARTIAL-USE, EARLY CANCELATION OR UNWATCHED PRE-PAID SERVICES. When you cancel your Subscription Services, you may be subject to certain charges and fees as set forth in any applicable Promotional Terms, and if you have taken advantage of a promotional offer that required you to pre-pay for a minimum period of time (e.g., 3 months), then your cancellation will not become effective until the end of that minimum period of time, and in such case, for purposes of such promotional offer, your initial “billing period” will mean such minimum period of time. Your cancelation of Subscription Services does not automatically cancel your Membership Account or access to our Transactional Services.
Fees and Charges. We will bill you monthly in advance for your Subscription Services. Charges are billed to the credit or debit card you registered with your Membership Account. Fancy Flix may, from time to time and at any time, change the amount of or basis for determining any fees or charges, and/or institute new fees, surcharges, or other charges as determined by us (e.g., surcharges imposed for transmission of programming content in certain jurisdictions). You agree to pay all amounts billed for our Services, as well as all taxes, fees, and other charges, if any, that are now or may in the future be assessed in connection with any of our Services you access or use, and any other charges due and owing to us. We may apply interest and late fees for any amounts paid following the date when due, and we may terminate or suspend your account for any failure to timely pay any amounts or maintain up-to-date payment method information within your account. State and local taxes or reimbursement charges for gross earnings taxes in some states may apply.
Registration of Credit or Debit Card. If you do not already have an account, you will be required to establish an account to access certain of our Services. To access certain Services (e.g., video-on-demand rentals), you will also be required to register a valid credit or debit card to process payments of the associated fees. When you register a credit or debit card for a new account, you authorize Fancy Flix to place a pending charge to your credit or debit card to verify your billing address and the validity of your credit or debit card; such pending charges are temporary and will not be converted into an actual charge to you. Pending charges, while pending, will, however, reduce the available amount of credit on your credit card or funds available to your debit card. You are solely responsible for any and all fees charged to your credit or debit card by the issuer, bank, or financial institution, including fees for membership, any overdraft or other insufficient funds, or for exceeding any applicable credit limit. Once your account is authenticated, the credit or debit card that you registered with your account will be charged for each transaction without having to re-enter your credit or debit card information. You agree that the issuer of any credit or debit card you registered with your Membership Account will accept these Terms of Use as your authorization and pay all amounts billed in connection with use of your account without Fancy Flix’s submitting a signed receipt.
Billing Cycle. The fees for all Subscription Services and Transactional Services will be billed in advance. For Subscription Services, we automatically bill you each month on the calendar day corresponding to the date on which you first commenced payment for Subscription Services. Membership Account fees for Subscription Services and Transactional Services are fully earned upon payment. If your paid membership to any Subscription Service began on a day not contained in a given month, then we may bill you on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate (e.g., if you are regularly billed on the 31st, then we may bill you on the 28th or 30th of the calendar months that do not have 31 days). Although we endeavor to bill you as described in this paragraph, we reserve the right to change the timing of our billing as necessary, from time to time, and at any time. We may authorize your payment method in anticipation of membership or service-related charges. As used in these Terms of Use, “billing” shall indicate a charge, debit, or other payment clearance, as applicable, against your registered credit or debit card information. For the purposes of this paragraph, “month” or “monthly” refers to your billing cycle.
No Returns, Credits or Refunds. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE. WE ARE NOT OBLIGATED, AND YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT, TO ANY CREDIT, REFUND, PRICE ADJUSTMENT OR ANY OTHER DISCOUNT, COMPENSATION OR RECOMPENSE FOR ANY PARTIALLY USED OR UNUSED SERVICE (E.G., SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES NOT USED OR TRANSACTIONAL SERVICES NOT DOWNLOADED OR FULLY VIEWED). Because charges are prepaid each billing period, following your cancellation of any of your Subscription Services or Transactional Services, you will continue to have access to any and all of such Services for which you have paid through the end of your then-current billing period, and to certain of our other Services that do not require any payment, including, access to and use of certain portions of our Websites and Apps. Notwithstanding the forgoing, although not required or obligated, we reserve the right to evaluate or elect to provide credits, refunds, price adjustments or other discount, compensation or recompense, from time to time, and at any time, in our sole and absolute discretion; provided that any such elections to offer any such credits, refund, price adjustment or other discount, compensation or recompense in one instance does not entitle you to the same or any such benefit in the future for similar or unrelated instances, nor does it create any obligation whatsoever for us to offer such benefit to you or any other user in connection with any past, present, or future request under any circumstance whatsoever.
Restarting Your Services. If you do not make timely payment for your Services, we may disconnect, suspend, limit, or terminate your access to such our Services, and in such event, we will be immediately and forever wholly relieved from any and all of our duties and obligations to you under these Terms of Use. If your Membership Account is disconnected for non-payment, or for any other reason whatsoever, then Fancy Flix may require that you pay, and you agree to pay, any amount due (regardless of how long outstanding, and including all past due charges and all outstanding balances accrued through the date of such disconnection) before we reconnect your access to any of our Services. We are not obligated to reconnect your access to any of our Services. If your Services are disconnected for non-payment, or for any other reason whatsoever, then you may no longer be eligible, even if you pay to restart your Subscription Services, to receive any remaining credits or promotional pricing that you would have been eligible to receive had your Subscription Services, or any of our other Services, not been disconnected, suspended, limited, or terminated. Unless required by applicable law, deposits will not be held segregated from other funds and will not earn or accrue interest. Promotional pricing is valid only at the time of initial purchase of such promotional Subscription Service or Transactional Service, and we reserve the right to stop any promotion at any time for any reason whatsoever.
Attorney’s Fees/ Collections. If we use an attorney or a collection agency to collect any money you owe us, or to assert any other right that we may have against you (e.g., any breach of any agreement you may have with Fancy Flix or any of our affiliates), then you hereby agree to pay the reasonable costs of such collection or other action. These costs may include the costs of a collection agency, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and court costs. If you believe you have been billed in error, you must contact our Customer Service immediately, and in no event more than 15 days following the date you receive any bill for which you are seeking correction. Failure to timely notify us of any dispute will constitute your acceptance of the corresponding billed amounts. You must pay undisputed portions of any billing statement when due, or, without limitation to any other rights or remedies available to Fancy Flix at law, in equity, under contract (including these Terms of Use), or otherwise, all of which are hereby expressly reserved (e.g., we may elect to suspend or terminate your Subscription Services or any of our Services), permanently or temporarily, in whole or in part. All payments for our Services must be made directly by you to us, unless we authorize otherwise; and except as otherwise authorized, Fancy Flix shall have no obligation to provide Services for which payment is made by you to a third party or for which payment is made by a third party on your behalf.
Customer Support Services. Fancy Flix may elect to provide Membership Account support services or other assistance in connection with your Membership Account (“Customer Service(s)”). The levels, methods, and availability of our Customer Service offered is determined by us, in our sole and absolute discretion; we have no obligation to provide any Customer Services whatsoever in connection with our Services. If we make available or otherwise provide Customer Services, then such Customer Services are considered part of our Services for purposes of these Terms of Use, including any and all restrictions, disclaimers, and limitations herein.
Communications. By registering for a Membership Account, you hereby consent to receive electronic communications from us and other Contributors related to such account and our Services. These communications may involve sending emails to the email address you provided during registration, or delivering electronic communications via your Membership Account, and will include notices about your Membership Account (e.g., payment authorizations, password or payment method changes, confirmation e-mails, notices, and other similar or transactional information related to such account); these communications are part of our Services and your relationship with us. You agree that any notice, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically, as described herein, will satisfy any legal communication requirements (e.g., that such communications be in writing and through an appropriate method). You also consent to receiving other electronic communications from us, such as newsletters about new Services features and content, special offers, promotional announcements, and customer surveys. If you no longer want to receive certain non-transactional communications via email, please contact Customer Service at support@fancyflix.com, click on the “Unsubscribe” link contained in any email, or on any other link that indicates that you would like to be removed from future, similar non-transactional communications.
Fancy Flix Property. The “Fancy Flix” Services, including any and all content made available in connection with your access and use of our Services, is protected by domestic and international copyright, trade secret, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Reporting Claims. If you have a reasonable belief that your or any other’s protected works have been reproduced or distributed in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or are otherwise aware of any content available in connection with the Services that may be infringing, violating, or otherwise misappropriating your rights or such other party’s rights, then please notify us immediately.
Warning against Piracy and Infringement. Receiving any portion of the Services without paying for them, and/or any direct or indirect act or attempted act to engage or assist in any unauthorized interception, reception, display, or other transmission or access of any portion of our Services, is a violation of various U.S. federal and state laws and of these Terms of Use. In the event that we learn that you are using any Service in a manner that constitutes infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, including rights granted by U.S. copyright law, your Membership Account will be terminated.

ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIMITATIONS ARE EXPRESSLY DISALLOWED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW(S).
You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Fancy Flix and its parents and affiliates, each of its and their present and future media providers, device providers, business partners, service providers, licensors, contractors, subcontractors, authorized distributors, authorized sub-distributors, authorized retailers, directors, members, managers, officers, agents, employees, and other Users, and each of their respective assigns, heirs, successors, and legal representatives (the “Protected Group”) harmless from, against and with respect to any and all actions, claims, disputes or demands, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, that are incurred in connection with, arising out of or relating to access to or use of our Services by you or in connection with your Membership Account including any User thereof, your connection to our Services, your devices, your violation of these Terms of Use or your violation of any rights of another User.
Mandatory Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Subject the provisions of this Section 11 below, if you access or use any of our Services, then you and Fancy Flix hereby agree that any and all past, present and future disputes, claims, actions or other controversies arising out of or relating in any way to our Services, these Terms of Use and/or your relationship with the Protected Group except any Dispute relating to the enforcement of Fancy Flix’s, its affiliates’ or any of the Protected Group’s intellectual property rights and without limiting our and your rights to resolve disputes using various informal dispute resolutions (e.g., pursuant to Section 5.E. above) (each, a “Dispute”) will be determined exclusively on an individual (non-class) basis by binding arbitration or, within the scope of its jurisdiction, 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 under the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Use of a neutral arbitrator is designed to provide you and us with a fair proceeding. Arbitrators may award the same damages and relief that a court may award, and judgment on any such award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND AGREE THAT BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OF USE AND THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS HEREIN, THE FAA WILL GOVERN THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS PROVISION, AND THAT YOU AND FANCY FLIX AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND FANCY FLIX ARE EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN US. YOU AND FANCY FLIX ALSO AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION CONDUCTED HEREUNDER WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND WILL NOT BE BROUGHT OR PROCEED ON BEHALF OF A CLASS OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. A “Dispute” includes those based in contract, any applicable current or future federal, state, local or international law, statute, rule, or government or quasi-government order or action or regulation, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, willful misconduct or any other intentional tort) or any other legal or equitable theory. The meaning of “Dispute” is to be interpreted to have the broadest possible meaning permitted by law, and will only be modified to the extent necessary to be legal, binding and no longer in conflict with any law as further provided in Section 11.B. below. For example only, Disputes also include your billing disputes, claims involving or relating to telephone calls, direct marketing, advertisements or electronic communications that you claim you received from Fancy Flix and/or a party acting on our behalf or any actions or other controversies in connection with our Privacy Policy.
Dispute Resolution. If a Dispute arises and you or we wish to seek arbitration or file any action in small claims court, then the party wishing to seek arbitration or file an action must first send to the other party, by certified mail, notice of the applicable Dispute (“Dispute Notice”), and you and Fancy Flix hereby agree to attempt to resolve any such Dispute through informal dispute resolution for at least 60 days following the date on which the applicable Dispute Notice is properly sent. To initiate arbitration proceedings the party seeking such arbitration must open a case by filing with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) a demand for such arbitration, paying the administrative filing fee and providing a copy of the applicable arbitration agreement (collectively, the “Demand for Arbitration”); you will only be responsible for paying an arbitration initiation fee equal to the amount that you would pay to file a lawsuit against us in the appropriate court of law in your state, not to exceed $125.00.
Arbitration Procedures and Forum. All arbitration proceedings will be administered by the AAA and governed under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (including any amendments thereto or successor rules thereof published by the AAA) (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as supplemented and modified by these Terms of Use. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1 (888)-309-0838, by clicking the hyperlinks above. The arbitrator will be bound by the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use. Subject only to the limited exceptions expressly set forth in this Section 11, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court, agency or other authority, will have the exclusive authority to resolve any and all Disputes, including issues relating to the scope, interpretation, applicability and enforceability of this arbitration agreement (e.g., any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use (including, for example, this Section 11) is void or voidable). Unless you and Fancy Flix agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing will be held in the county (or parish) of your billing address or if no billing address is provided, then of your primary residence.
Costs of Arbitration; Compelling Arbitration. Subject to the exceptions expressly set forth in this Section 11, if you or we decide to initiate arbitration and seek less than $75,000 in damages, then we will pay all costs and fees of the applicable arbitration proceeding for any such proceeding initiated in accordance with the notice requirements unless the arbitrator finds that the arbitration was brought for an improper purpose; and if you or we initiate any arbitration proceeding seeking more than $75,000 in damages, then the payment of such costs and fees will be governed by the applicable AAA Rules. Except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to Section 11, if either party attempts to have a Dispute reviewed by a court (e.g., files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim that is subject to arbitration), and the other party successfully compels arbitration of the applicable Dispute, then the party attempting (or that attempted) to have such Dispute reviewed by such court in violation of these Terms of Use must pay the other party’s costs and expenses incurred in seeking to compel arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
Class Action Waiver. NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (AS DEFINED ABOVE). Further, unless both you and Fancy Flix specifically agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that individual party’s individual claim. In the event that this Section 11.E. or any other material provision of this Section 11 is held to be unenforceable, void or voidable, then Section 11 in its entirety will be void, ab initio.
Rights to Opt-Out. If you do not wish to be bound to resolve all Disputes exclusively through arbitration proceedings and small claims courts as set forth in Section 11, then you must notify Fancy Flix in writing within 30 days following the date on which you initially accept our then-current terms of use for our Services (as further described in Section 1 above (e.g., upon creating a Membership Account)) by sending written notice to Fancy Flix at support@fancyflix.com, of your election to reserve arbitration as a non-exclusive means of resolution of Disputes (“Opt-Out Notice”).
Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding our rights to make future changes to these Terms of Use, if any such future change made by us to the provisions in Section 11 materially limit or alter your then-current rights, then you may reject such changes by sending written notice to Fancy Flix at support@fancyflix.com, of your rejection of the applicable changes: (i) within 30 days following the date on which we notify you of such modified Terms of Use; or (ii) in the event we do not provide notice of such future change, then within 30 days following the date on which you become aware of such modified Terms of Use. The dispute resolution, binding arbitration and class action waiver agreements and provisions will survive the expiration or earlier termination of your Membership Account, Subscription Services or other access to or use of our Services. Please be aware that this agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies, including the Federal Communications Commission, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. We also each agree that this agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the FAA governs the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions and agreements set forth in this Section 11.
Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given by Fancy Flix under these Terms of Use may be provided by any reasonable means, including by mail, by publication on the www.fancyflix.com website, via your Membership Account for our Services (e.g., by sending an electronic message to your Membership Account), or by e-mail.

If any provision in these Terms of Use is declared to be illegal, invalid or is otherwise in conflict with any law, then such provision will automatically be considered modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision legal, binding and no longer in conflict with such law, without affecting the validity of any other provisions of such Terms of Use, and any and all other provisions will remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Choice of Forum. You agree that any action at law, in equity, under contract (including under these Terms of Use) or otherwise that is excluded from, or otherwise not subject to arbitration or small claims court must be filed, and that venue properly lies, only in the state or federal courts located in the city and county of Salt Lake City, Utah, United States of America and you hereby irrevocably consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating such action.
Assignment. You agree that Fancy Flix may assign or otherwise transfer (e.g., sell) your agreement to these Terms of Use with Fancy Flix to any third party without your prior consent. You may not assign or otherwise transfer (e.g., via the sale of any Permitted Device) any agreement(s) with us without first obtaining our prior written consent, which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned for any reason whatsoever (e.g., your Membership Account reflects an outstanding unpaid balance).
No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms of Use, the failure of a party to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The rights and remedies provided under these Terms of Use to Fancy Flix in case of your default or breach of these Terms of Use are cumulative and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that Fancy Flix or you may have at law, in equity, under contract (including under these Terms of Use) or otherwise, all of which are hereby expressly reserved.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries; Claim Limitation. You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms of Use, there are no third party beneficiaries to your agreement to these Terms of Use. You agree that regardless of any law to the contrary, any claim, Dispute or cause of action by you arising out of or related to our Services pursuant to these Terms of Use must be filed within 1 year following the date on which such claim, Dispute or cause of action arose; and if not filed within such 1-year period, then you hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights to pursue such claim(s), Disputes or other cause(s) of action.
Headings. The section titles and paragraph headings in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Any and all examples or references to “include,” “includes” or “including” set forth in these Terms of Use are by way of example only and will be interpreted as non-limiting.

For the purposes of these Terms of Use, a ‘business day’ means a weekday (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) excluding any national (United States) holiday.
Survival. Any provision of these Terms of Use that logically would be expected to survive the suspension, completion, expiration or earlier termination of your Membership Account, Subscription Services and/or other Services or your agreement to these Terms of Use will survive such suspension, completion, expiration or earlier termination, including any and all representations and warranties contained in these Terms of Use and any and all provisions and agreements regarding indemnification obligations, confidentiality obligations, dispute resolution, binding arbitration and class action waivers, the “Miscellaneous” provisions in this Section 12, limitations of liability and disclaimers.
