Ownership: You agree that KORTV owns and retains all rights to the KORTV Services. You further agree that the Content you access and view as part of the KORTV Services is owned or controlled by KORTV and KORTV's licensors. The KORTV Services and the Content are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Your Responsibilities: In order for us to keep the KORTV Services safe and available for everyone to use, we all have to follow the same rules of the road. You and other users must use the KORTV Services for lawful, non-commercial, and appropriate purposes only. Your commitment to this principle is critical. You agree to observe the KORTV Services and Content restrictions detailed above, and further agree that you will not use the KORTV Services in a way that:

If KORTV determines in its sole discretion that you are violating any of these Terms, we may (i) notify you, and (ii) use technical measures to block or restrict your access or use of the KORTV Services. In either case, you agree to immediately stop accessing or using in any way (or attempting to access or use) the KORTV Services, and you agree not to circumvent, avoid, or bypass such restrictions, or otherwise restore or attempt to restore such access or use.

Suspension/Discontinuation. We hope not to, but we may change, suspend, or discontinue - temporarily or permanently - some or all of the KORTV Services (including the Content and the devices through which the KORTV Services are accessed), with respect to any or all users, at any time without notice. You acknowledge that KORTV may do so in KORTV's sole discretion. You also agree that KORTV will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the KORTV Services, although if you are a KORTV Service subscriber and KORTV suspends or discontinues the KORTV Service, KORTV may, in its sole discretion, provide you with a credit, refund, discount or other form of consideration (for example, we may credit additional days of service to your account) in accordance with Subscriptions and Billing below. However, if KORTV terminates your account or suspends or discontinues your access to KORTV Services due to your violation of these Terms, then you will not be eligible for any such credit, refund, discount or other consideration.

Internet Access Charges: You are responsible for any costs you incur to access the internet.

KORTV Subscriptions and Billing

While it is our mission to provide users with as many viewing choices as possible, sometimes that involves giving users the choice of paying a fee in order to view Content that KORTV would not otherwise be able to make available without charging a fee. For that reason, we ask you to pay a subscription fee to access the KORTV Premium Content.

You can find the specific details regarding your subscription to KORTV Premium Services at any time by logging in on the iTunes. You agree that your KORTV account is for individual use only and your KORTV account is limited to only one simultaneous stream at a time. Additionally, you agree that for various reasons, such as restrictions from content licensors and other limitations or considerations from third parties, certain Content that may be accessible through one Property may not be accessible through other Properties.

Because the KORTV Service is offered in multiple time zones, for consistency, a "day" for purposes of these Terms of Use begins at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time and ends at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time of that same calendar day.

Billing:

All the billing to KORTV Premium Service subscription will be handled by iTunes. Once you make the payment through iTunes, you are expressly agreeing that you are responsible for monthly subscription fee, any other fees for additional services you may purchase, and any applicable taxes in connection with your use of KORTV Premium Services.

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 monthly renewal thereafter unless and until you cancel your subscription or the account or service is otherwise suspended or discontinued pursuant to these Terms. To see the commencement date for your next renewal period, log in on the iTunes and check your iTunes account.

We automatically bill your iTunes account each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your subscription (each such month, a “Monthly Period”). In the event your subscription began on a day not contained in a given month, we bill your iTunes account on the last day of such month. For example, if you became a paying subscriber on January 31, your Payment Method would next be billed on February 28. You acknowledge that the amount billed each Monthly Period may vary due to promotional offers, changes in your subscription plan, and changes in applicable taxes, and you authorize us to charge your iTunes account for the corresponding amounts. If KORTV changes the subscription fee or other charges for KORTV Services from time to time, we will give you advance notice of these changes by posting information on KORTV website or on devices. However, we will not be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes.

Very rarely, if there are special circumstances where KORTV determines it is appropriate (e.g., the KORTV service 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 KORTV'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.

Ongoing Subscription and Cancellation:

Your KORTV Premium Service subscription will continue in effect on a month-to-month basis unless and until you cancel your subscription, cancel autorenew on iTunes or the account or service is otherwise suspended or discontinued pursuant to these Terms. You must cancel your subscription before it renews each Monthly Period in order to avoid the next billing. We will bill the monthly subscription fee plus any applicable taxes to your iTunes account. If you cancel your subscription, cancellation will be effective at the end of the current Monthly Period -this means that you will have continued access to KORTV's Premium Service for the remainder of that period, but you will not receive a refund. You can cancel your account by logging in on the iTunes.

Unpaid Amounts:

In order to sustain the KORTV service, it is important that each user of the KORTV Premium Service honor the payment obligations to which the user agreed. Accordingly, we reserve the right to pursue any amounts you fail to pay in connection with KORTV Premium Service. You will remain liable to KORTV for all such amounts and all costs we incur in connection with the collection of these amounts, including, without limitation, collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, and arbitration or court costs. Also, you may not be able to use Apple products due to unpaid amounts.

Free Trials:

On occasion, KORTV offer the free trials. If we offer a free trial, the specific terms of free trial will be stated in the marketing material describing the particular free trial. We are unable to accommodate combining free trials with any other offers. To view the specific details regarding free trial, visit KORTV website or access KORTV app on Apple TV.

Once the free trial period ends, we will begin billing your iTunes account for monthly subscription fees corresponding to your subscription plan (plus any applicable taxes), unless you cancel prior to the end of your free trial. For that reason, unless otherwise indicated in the free trial description, you are required to login with your iTunes account when redeeming a free trial offer.

It is very important to understand that you will not receive a notice from KORTV that your free trial subscription has ended or that your paying subscription has begun. If you wish to avoid charges to your iTunes account, you must cancel KORTV Service prior to midnight Eastern Time on the last day of your free trial period. You can cancel your account by logging in on the iTunes. We will continue to bill your iTunes account on a monthly basis for your subscription plan until you cancel or the account or service is otherwise suspended or discontinued pursuant to these Terms. You may cancel your subscription at any time as described in the Ongoing Subscription and Cancellation section of these Terms. To the extent KORTV Premium Service subscriptions are offered in conjunction with purchases of, or payment for, third party products or services, you agree that KORTV will not be liable to you for any claims arising out of or related to your purchase or use of such third party products or services.

ACCOUNTS

We may from time to time offer various features that require creation of an account with iTunes. If at any time you choose to create an account with iTunes, the additional terms and conditions set forth below also will apply.

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, 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 KORTV Services.

All registration information you submit to iTunes must be accurate and updated. Please keep your password confidential. You will not have to reveal it to any KORTV representative. Because you are responsible for all use of your account, including unauthorized use by any third party, please be very careful to guard the security of your password.

You may terminate your account by logging in on the iTunes.

We reserve the right to immediately terminate or restrict your account or your use of the KORTV Services or access to Content at any time, without notice or liability, if KORTV determines in its sole discretion that you have breached these Terms of Use, violated any law, rule, or regulation, engaged in other inappropriate conduct, or for any other business reason. We also reserve the right to terminate your account or your use of the KORTV Services or access to Content if such use places an undue burden on our networks or servers. Of course, we would prefer to avoid such termination; therefore, we may use technology to limit activities, such as the number of calls to the KORTV servers being made, and you agree to respect these limitations and not take any steps to circumvent, avoid, or bypass them.

COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS

At KORTV, we expect that our world-class customer service team will be able to resolve most issues you may have using the KORTV Services. In the unlikely event that we do not meet your satisfaction, we prefer to specify now what each of us should expect in order to avoid any confusion later. Accordingly, you and KORTV agree to the following resolution process.

To begin with, you agree that that any claim that you might have against us regarding these Terms of Use, the KORTV Services, or the Properties must be resolved through binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association using its Commercial Arbitration Rules. It's important to us that we address any issues you might have promptly. To help us do that, you agree to begin any arbitration within one year after your claim arose; otherwise, your claim is waived. As an exception to this arbitration agreement, KORTV is happy to give you the right to pursue in small claims court any claim that is within that court's jurisdiction as long as you proceed only on an individual basis.

Because we prefer to resolve our issues with you directly, you agree to arbitrate with KORTV only in your individual capacity, not as a representative or member of a class. As such, your claims may not be joined with any other claims and there shall be no authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or brought by a purported class representative.

Rather than force everyone to visit us in New Jersey, if you can demonstrate that arbitration in New Jersey would create an undue burden to you, you are free to initiate the arbitration in your home state. Otherwise, the arbitration hearings will be held in Middlesex County, New Jersey.

It is important that you understand that the arbitrator's decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator rules against KORTV, in addition to accepting whatever responsibility is ordered by the arbitrator, we think it's fair that KORTV reimburse your reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

If you're not sure what all of this means, of course please feel free to ask an attorney.

Since we always prefer to find ways to satisfy you as quickly and efficiently as possible, before initiating any arbitration proceeding, you agree to first discuss the matter informally with KORTV for at least 30 days. To do that, please send your full name and contact information, your concern and your proposed solution by mail to us at: KORTV Inc., 47 Langstaff Avenue., Edison, NJ 08817 - Attn: Legal Department.

Specifying what happens if an issue arises with one of our users is never a fun topic. But we pride ourselves on transparency and we thank you in advance for understanding why it’s important that you and KORTV agree on the process described in this Section.

No Waiver/Reliance: If you see other parties violating these Terms, we would appreciate it if you would let us know at abuse [at] kortv.com (subject line: "TOU Violation"). Precisely how KORTV responds to a party that is violating these Terms will be determined after carefully analyzing all of the facts and circumstances of a particular case. You may not rely upon KORTV's precise response with respect to one party or one situation as any indication of what KORTV might do with respect to another party or another situation, even if the parties or situations appear to you to be similar. Similarly, if we fail to act in response to a violation of these Terms of Use, you should not assume that we do not object to the violation or even that we are aware of it. In addition, you may not construe a waiver of any provision of these Terms of Use with respect to any party as a waiver of that provision (or any other provision) with respect to either that party or any other party. Further, KORTV's decision to delay exercising or enforcing any right or remedy under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or remedy. Even if KORTV acts in a way that appears to you to be inconsistent with these Terms of Use, KORTV's action shall not be deemed a waiver or constructive amendment of these Terms.

Integration, Amendment, and Severability: Please note that these Terms of Use, including KORTV's Privacy Policy which is incorporated in these Terms and any end user license agreement that might accompany KORTV authorized applications, features and devices, constitute the entire legal agreement between you and KORTV and govern your use of the KORTV Services (including your use of the Content) (but excludes any services, if any, that KORTV may provide to you under a separate signed written agreement), and completely replaces any prior agreements between you and KORTV in relation to the KORTV Services. Except as set forth in CHANGES TO THE TERMS OF USE BY KORTV above, these Terms may not be amended or varied except in a writing signed by KORTV. Although we understand that electronic or digital signatures are frequently viewed as the equivalent of traditional written signatures these days, for these purposes, a signature or "signed" writing or written agreement may not include an electronic or digital signature. These Terms of Use operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, you and we agree that the provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
