Where the context relates to the Service generally or both the Paid Service and the Free Service, "we", "us" and "our " refer to both PSN and WBD. However, where the context relates to a Paid Service, references to "we", "us, and "our" refer to WBD, and where the context relates to a Free Service, references to "we", "us, and "our" refer to PSN.
The Service
The Service includes the GCN+ website (the "Website"), application (the "App") and anything made available on the Website and App, including all features, functionalities and user interfaces, as well as any content and materials you can view or access, such as images, photos, sounds, music, text, articles, games, graphics, software, videos, programmes, live streams and channels ("Content").
Through the Service you will have access to a selection of Content. However, the specific Content on the Service covered by this selection may change – that means new articles, programmes, channels, sporting events and other content may become available whilst other existing content will stop being available. We may also update and modify elements of the Service itself from time to time – for example the design, layout, features and functionalities. See section 8 for more details.

See section 7.5 below for information on how to update or change your payment method.
- 7.2. You may have the option to provide multiple payment methods (each of these is called a "Backup Payment Method" in these Terms of Use) to be associated with your Account.

You must not provide a Primary Payment Method or Backup Payment Method without authorisation from the relevant owner.

- 7.6. We use other companies (including Affiliates), agents and contractors to process card transactions and other payment methods. For some payment methods, the relevant issuer may charge you certain fees, such as a foreign transaction fee or other fees relating to the processing of your payment method. Charges imposed by the relevant issuer (and any taxes applicable to such charges) may vary depending on the payment method used. You will be solely responsible for any such charges (and any taxes on such charges) which may apply. Check with your payment provider for details.
- 7.7. If you purchase a Subscription from us, provide a payment method during sign-up, or update your payment method, a nominal charge may be temporarily taken for verification purposes.
8. Changes
8.1. Content changes
1. As we mentioned above when describing the Service, you will always have access to a selection of Content, but the specific Content may change regularly. The availability of Content may change for various reasons, such as where third party rights-holders withdraw or restrict our right to use that Content on the Service, or for legal or regulatory reasons.
8.2. Updates and changes to the Service
- (a) We may temporarily restrict the use of the Service if this is necessary with regard to the security, integrity and capacity limits of the Service or to carry out technical measures on the Service, for example maintenance work. We will take your legitimate interests into account and inform you of restrictions reasonably in advance.
- (b) In addition, we may regularly make updates and changes to the Service and its functionalities if the change is solely for your benefit or we have valid reasons which require such changes, in particular:
- (i) to ensure compliance with applicable laws and/or reflect changes in relevant legislation, case law and regulatory requirements;
- (ii) to fix bugs, implement technical adjustments and make improvements, such as adapting the Service to a new technical environment, transferring the Service to a new hosting platform, or ensuring Service compatibility with the devices and software we support (as listed in our Help Centre);
- (i) to ensure compliance with applicable laws and/or reflect changes in relevant legislation, case law and regulatory requirements;
- (iii) to upgrade or amend the Service, including ending support for older versions of the App or its compatibility with certain devices as set out in the Help Centre, or releasing a new version of the App on certain devices;
- (iv) to alter the structure, design or layout of the Service, including changing the name of the Service or re-branding, or amending, improving and/or expanding the features and functionalities available;
- (v) to maintain the operability of the Service;
- (vi) to adapt the service to changing market conditions, such as increased user numbers;
- (vii) for security reasons; and
- (viii) for anti-piracy reasons.
(c) All changes are made without additional cost to you.
- (d) If we make changes as specified in section 8.2(b) and these are changes which will negatively impact your access to or use of the Service in more than a minor way ("Major Change"), we will give you at least six weeks' notice by email ("Change Notice"). The Change Notice will contain a description of the changes, the date on which the Major Change will be made and information about your rights as described below.
- (e) In the event of a Major Change, you have the right to terminate the contract free of charge within 30 days. If a Major Change takes effect during your current Subscription, this means that you can cancel your Subscription (at no cost to you) within this period. If you cancel in these circumstances, we will refund any amounts you have paid for your Subscription but not yet received. If you do not refuse such changes or otherwise cancel your Subscription within this period, we will take that as acceptance of the changes.
- (f) The period described in section 8.2(e) begins once you received the Change Notice. If the Major Change is made after you have received the Change Notice, the period shall only start to run from when the change comes into effect.
- (g) These Terms of Use shall apply accordingly to any changes made and to the use of the Service after any changes.
- (h) The addition, removal and adaptation of the Content and Services available via the Service (see section 8.1) does not constitute a change to the Service or its scope of functions within the meaning of this section 8.2.
8.3. Changes to these Terms of Use
- (a) We may change and modify these Terms of Use with effect for the future if there is a valid reason for the amendment and insofar as the changes are reasonable taking into account the interests of both parties.
- (b) A valid reason exists in particular if the changes are necessary due to a disruption of the equivalence relationship of the contract to a not insignificant extent that was unforeseeable for us at the time of the conclusion of the contract, or if they are necessary for continuing the performance of the contract due to changes in case law or legislation.
- (c) This section 8.3 does not cover any changes or modifications to a main performance obligation.
- (d) We will send you the amended Terms of Use in text form before the planned entry into force and will separately refer to the new provisions and the date of entry into force. At the same time, we will grant you a reasonable period of at least six weeks to declare whether you accept the amended Terms of Use for further use of the platform.
- (e) If you do not make any statement within this period, which begins to run from your receipt of the notification in text form, the amended Terms of Use shall be deemed to have been agreed.
- (f) We will inform you separately about this legal consequence, i.e. the right of objection, the objection period and the significance of silence, at the beginning of the period.
9. Cancellation of a Subscription
- 9.1. If you have purchased a Subscription from us that is set to auto-renew or that has an initial free period of access, you can cancel it at any time before the end of each subscription period (or free period of access). On cancellation, you will be able to continue to use your Subscription until the end of the current subscription period (or free period of access) and you will therefore not be offered a refund for the current subscription period. To manage or cancel your Subscription, go to your Account.
- 9.2. You will be informed at the point of signing up for a Subscription of any minimum term that applies, including whether this always lines up with your billing period.
- 9.3. If you signed up for a Subscription that is set to auto-renew through a third party (for example via an app store or one of our third party partners) and wish to cancel your Subscription, you will need to do so through that third party. For example, you may need to go to your device settings or visit your app store account and turn off auto-renew for your Subscription.
- 9.4. Your extraordinary right of termination and any right of termination pursuant to clause 8.2(e) remain unaffected.
- Right of withdrawal
You can find the information on your right of withdrawal in Appendix 1 below.

In these circumstances, the third party or the Affiliate is responsible for the execution of the contract (in particular for payment, billing and cancellation rights), unless otherwise expressly agreed with you.

If you are paying for another service directly via our Service, we will be responsible for the execution of the contract (in particular for payment, billing and cancellation rights).
- (b) In the event of any inconsistency between those provisions in the Additional Terms and these Terms of Use, the provisions in these Terms of Use will apply.
- (c) If you are paying for a service via our Service but payment is taken by a third party (e.g. an app store, platform or other streaming service), that third party's terms regarding payment, billing and cancellation will apply.

We will inform you in advance of any intended termination or suspension of access and/or any intended termination or suspension of your Account and tell you the reason for our actions.

- 17.1. If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), for example, if you live in Germany or Austria, you can access the Content normally available through your specific Subscription when visiting another country within the EEA ("EEA Country"), at no extra cost. This means that if you are in an EEA Country, you can enjoy the same service and access the same Content, in the same language while abroad that you can access and enjoy when you are at home. This access is only available if you are temporarily in another EEA country and you have provided us with sufficient information so we can verify that your place of habitual residence is in the EEA.
- 17.2. Go to the Help Centre for more information about access to the Service outside your home country.
18. Ending your right to use the Service
- 18.1. We can end our agreement with you (and consequently end your right to use all or part of the Service) at any time with a notice period of two weeks. If we end our agreement with you after you have purchased a Subscription directly from us, we will give you as much advance notice as is reasonably practicable and ensure that you either: (i) have access to your Subscription for the remainder of your subscription period; or (ii) get a refund for the remaining portion of your subscription period after the date on which our agreement ends. Your cancellation rights are set out in section 9.
- 18.2. If we discontinue any part of the Service, we will give you at least 30 days’ prior notice (unless we need to discontinue the Service (or any part of it) more quickly for legal reasons, including in order to comply with a court order or due to a corporate re-structuring). This does not affect your rights under section 8.2. If we discontinue a part of the Service you have subscribed to, we will provide you with a refund for any amounts you have paid us for the Service but not yet received.
- 18.3. We may end or suspend your right to access all or any part of the Service or your Subscription if you have breached these Terms of Use despite having been warned by us, if you use the Service or any part of the Service fraudulently, illegally or in any manner other than for its intended purposes, or if we are under a legal obligation to do so. We will generally inform you in advance if we decide to end or suspend your right to access the Service or your Subscription unless we take such action due to a legal obligation that does not include an obligation to inform you in advance or if this is not possible as we are obliged to take immediate action. In such cases, we will inform you immediately afterwards. We will restore access to the Service or to your Subscription without delay if you have provided valid reasons that our action was not justified.
- 18.4. If we end your rights to use the Service, your Account or your Subscription you must stop all activities authorised by these Terms of Use.
19. Our liability to you
- 19.1. We are liable for defects, i.e. that the Service will be in legal conformity at the time of supply and during the life of our contract with you, in accordance with the statutory warranty laws (legal guarantee). If you have your habitual residence in Austria, these are in particular the warranty rights according to the Consumer Warranty Act (Verbrauchergewährleistungsgesetz, VGG) and §§ 922 to 933b of the General Civil Code (Allgemeines Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, ABGB).
- 19.2. Apart from this, we are liable in respect to these Terms of Use and our contractual relationship conclusively as follows:
- (a) We shall be liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health.
