    4. Free Period of Access to the Paid Service
      1. Your Paid Service Pass may start with a free period of access. Free periods of access are available to new subscribers only (one per subscriber) unless other terms apply. The specific duration of the free period of access will be specified at the point of sign-up.
      2. You will be charged at the end of your free period of access, unless you cancel your Paid Service Pass before the expiry of the free period of access. Please note that you may not be notified that your free period of access is ending or has ended and that your paid subscription has started. When subscribing via a third party, for example an app-store or via one of our partners, please also see Section 11 (Third party platforms and services) below.
      3. If you are a resident of Quebec, your Paid Service Pass will not start with a free period of access which converts into a paid subscription. However, new subscribers resident in Quebec who sign up for a Paid Service Pass may get the initial portion of their first subscription period at no charge or at a reduced charge (subject to the conditions attached to such Paid Service Pass). The specific duration of any such portion will be specified at the point of sign-up. Further details on Paid Service Passes for residents of Quebec can be found on the Pass Information page https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/pass-information/. 
    5. Promotional Offers
      1. DEL, companies within the same group as DEL and/or our third party partners, may make available codes or other promotional offers which: 
        1. grant access to Content normally only available via a Paid Service Pass without requiring you to pay for such access; or 
        2. give a discount on a Paid Service Pass 

(“Promotional Offers”). 

      1. Promotional Offers may take a variety of forms and may be made available on a standalone basis or provided as part of a bundle with other products or services sold by DEL or other companies within the same group as DEL or with the products or services of one of our partners. You may only use and redeem Promotional Offers in accordance with the specific terms and conditions which apply to them.
      2. Please check the relevant terms and conditions of the Promotional Offer for full details. Unless stated otherwise, Promotional Offers are only available to new subscribers (one per subscriber) and are subject to availability. Where a Promotional Offer is combined with a free period of access, restrictions may apply. Where a Promotional Offer is provided by a third party partner or by another company within the same group as DEL, that other party may also have additional terms and conditions which apply. DEL is not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties.
      3. Eligibility for Promotional Offers is determined by DEL and we reserve the right to limit availability of and/or revoke any Promotional Offer and put your account on hold in the event that you are not eligible.
    1. Billing for Paid Service Passes
      1. If a charge applies to your Paid Service Pass, you will be charged for it using the payment method provided when you first subscribe. 
      2. If your Paid Service Pass automatically renews, subscription payments will be taken automatically on the first day of each new subscription period for your Paid Service Pass at the same price (unless we have notified you of a price change, in accordance with Section 8). Usually the first payment will be taken on the day you subscribe or, if you have a free period of access, the day after your free period of access ends.
      3. If you are eligible for a Promotional Offer which enables access to a Paid Service Pass for no charge for a specified period and then converts to a paid subscription, your first payment will be taken immediately after the promotion period.
      4. If you are eligible for a Promotional Offer involving a discount, your bill and payments will be reduced accordingly for the promotion period. After the promotion period, the then standard subscription price will apply.
      5. To view your billing information or to change your payment method, go to the My Account area in your GCN Account (unless you’re paying via a third party or through another service, for example via one of our partners, in which case see Section 11 (Third party platforms and services) below).
      6. If a payment is not successfully settled, because your payment method has expired, you have insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not change your payment method or cancel your Paid Service Pass, we may suspend your access to the Paid Service after giving you notice until we (or the relevant third party) has obtained a valid payment method. You will be notified about such failure and you will be given an opportunity to update your payment method. When you update your payment method in the My Account area of your GCN Account, you authorise us to charge the updated payment method for your Paid Service Pass and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. This may result in a change to your payment dates or subscription period. 
      7. We reserve the right to change the date we charge you on notice if your payment method has not been successfully authorised or if your subscription renewal date does not occur in a given month, for example, if you are usually charged on the 30th of each month, in February you will be charged on the 28th. 
      8. We may use other companies (including other companies in the same group as DEL), agents or contractors to process credit card transactions or other payment methods, as well as to manage subscriptions to the Paid Service. If you complete your purchase outside of the App (i.e. if you purchase directly from us via the Service’s dedicated web page) then your payment will be taken by DEL or one of our affiliate companies.
      9. If you subscribe to a Paid Service Pass which starts with a free period of access, or if you use a Promotional Offer which permits access to a Paid Service Pass for no charge but also requires you to provide your payment details, a payment may be authorised by your bank when your free period of access or Promotional Offer begins. Nonetheless, in these circumstances, no payment will actually be taken by us for this free period of access or for this Promotional Offer period. You should be aware however that this may affect your available balance or credit limit.
    2. Automatic renewal of Paid Service Passes
      1. Certain types of Paid Service Passes automatically renew unless you cancel your subscription before your next renewal date (or at the end of any free period of access).  If you purchase a Paid Service Pass through us, we will let you know, at the point of sign-up, if your type of Paid Service Pass will automatically renew. 
      2. If you have a Paid Service Pass which automatically renews, and you do not cancel your subscription before the end of the current subscription period (or free period of access), your Paid Service Pass will automatically renew. If your Paid Service Pass automatically renews, you will be charged the total subscription fee at the same price (unless a promotional price applies to your current or upcoming subscription period, or we have notified you of a price change, in accordance with Section 8) due for the next subscription period. For more information on auto-renewal, including how to turn it off, read the Pass Information page https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/pass-information/ or click on the My Account area of your GCN Account.
      3. Unless your Paid Service Pass renews on a monthly basis, you will be notified about renewal before the end of the current subscription period.
    3. Price changes for a Paid Service
      1. We may change the price of your Paid Service Pass from time to time. Any price changes will apply to you no earlier than 30 days following notice to you. We will let you know the date on which any price change is due to come into effect. If you have purchased a Paid Service Pass through one of our third party partners, price changes will be subject to that third party's terms and conditions.
      2. If we notify you of a price change and you do not want to continue your Paid Service Pass at the new subscription price, you can cancel your Paid Service Pass either: (i) before the start of the next subscription period by following the steps in Section 9 (Cancellation) below; or (ii) at any time before the price change becomes effective by providing us with notice at the details set out in our Frequently Asked Questions https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/app-faqs/. Your continued use of your Paid Service Pass and/or payment for the new subscription price shall be taken as your consent to a price change. 
      3. We will always try to make sure the price of your Paid Service Pass will not change until the start of your next subscription period. If a price change is going to come into effect during your current subscription period, you can cancel your Paid Service Pass before the price change comes into effect and we will provide you with a refund for amounts you have paid for the Paid Service but not yet received. 
    4. Cancellation
      1. You can cancel your Paid Service Pass before the end of the current subscription period (or free period of access) and, unless we tell you otherwise in the Pass Information tab https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/pass-information/ for your territory (as described in Section 9.2 below), the cancellation will be effective at the end of the current subscription period (or free period of access). This means that if you are part of the way through a subscription period (or free period of access), you will be able to continue to use your Paid Service Pass until the end of the current subscription period (or free period of access), unless we tell you otherwise.
      2. In some territories, certain types of Paid Service Pass have a minimum term that expires before the end of the current subscription period.  This may apply to the initial subscription period or any renewal period.  This means that you may have the ability to cancel your Paid Service Pass, with that cancellation coming into effect at the end of the minimum term or immediately (if the minimum term has ended).  For more information on the minimum term and cancellation rights that apply to your Paid Service Pass, please read the relevant information for your territory at the Pass Information page https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/pass-information/. 
      3. When you purchase a Paid Service Pass from us you agree: (a) we will provide you with access to your Paid Service Pass (and the Content available through that Paid Service Pass) immediately; and (b) where we get your consent when you sign up, you waive any statutory right you may have to: (i) change your mind about your Paid Service Pass; and (ii) receive a refund within any applicable cooling off period.
      4. To manage your Paid Service Pass, click on the My Account area of your GCN Account. 
      5. If you signed up for a Paid Service Pass through a third party (for example via one of our partners) and wish to cancel your subscription, you will need to do so through that third party. For example, you may need to visit your account with a third party and turn off auto-renew for the Paid Service.

If you are a resident of Norway, you can find more information on your right to change your mind in any applicable cooling off period in the Pass Information at https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/pass-information/. 

    1. Refunds and credits 
      1. Without affecting your applicable statutory rights, payments are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used billing periods. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our subscribers. If we do this for any reason this does not mean we are obligated to do so again, even in the same circumstances.
      2. If you signed up for a Paid Service Pass through a third party (for example, an app-store or via one of our partners) and encounter any problems with billing or payments, please contact that third party in respect of any refunds or credits relating to your Paid Service Pass in accordance with that third party’s terms.  For any other issues relating to your Paid Service Pass, you can contact us using the details using the details set out in our Frequently Asked Questions https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/app-faqs/.
    2. Third party platforms and services 
      1. If you access the Paid Service or purchase a Paid Service Pass through a third party (for example, via an app store or a bundle of services provided by one of our third party partners) or another product or service sold by that third party or DEL: 
        1. your payment will be to that third party or to that other product or service and you will be subject to that third party’s terms or to that other product or services’ terms (including any applicable usage rules); 
        2. any payment for a Paid Service Pass will be to that third party or to that other product or service;
        3. Important information on:
          1. applicable terms of sale; 
          2. charges; 
          3. taxes; 
          4. payment methods; 
          5. your right to cancel a transaction and when you can exercise such right (where applicable); and 
          6. the technical steps to conclude a transaction, 

will be detailed in the third party’s terms and conditions or in the terms and conditions of the other product or service; and 

        1. you must comply with those third party terms and conditions and also with these Terms of Use. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms of Use and those third party terms and conditions, the third party terms and conditions shall take precedence over these Terms of Use.
      1. If you are paying for a Paid Service Pass via a third party or via another product or service sold by that third party or DEL and you wish to change your payment method, you will need to do so through that third party or the other product or service. If you encounter any problems with billing or payments in these circumstances, please contact that third party directly to discuss any refunds or credits relating to your Paid Service Pass.
    1. Supported devices and updates 
      1. Availability of the Service, your GCN Account, the Content and your Paid Service Pass depends on the quality of your internet connection and device capabilities.
      2. Some features may not be available on all devices. Please visit the Frequently Asked Questions https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/app-faqs/ to see the full list of supported devices and operating system requirements and any other device restrictions that may apply.
      3. To get the best experience, we recommend that you accept any updates to the Service as and when they become available. This may also require you to update your device operating system. 
      4. Your use of any updates, modifications to, or replacement versions of the Service will be governed by these Terms of Use and any additional terms you agree to when you install such update, modification, or replacement version.
    2. Your data usage

You are responsible for all internet access, mobile data or other charges incurred when using the Service. Remember that streaming and downloading audio-visual content such as videos and games can use up a lot of data.

    1. Changes to the Service and the Content
      1. As we mentioned above when describing the Service, the Content will change regularly – that means exciting events, programmes etc. may become available whilst other events, programmes etc. will stop being available.
      2. We provide the Service on an ongoing basis and we cannot foresee what may change in the future.  This means we may make changes to Content other than those set out in these Terms of Use.
      3. We will try to avoid making any materially detrimental change to the Content (as we have described in Section 14.8 below), but, if we do so, we will notify you in accordance with Section 14.8 below.
      4. We may make changes to or discontinue the free elements of the Service at any time without prior notice to you, as set out in the general terms of use available at https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/app-terms-of-use/.
      5. We may regularly make changes to any element of the Paid Service, your Paid Service Pass, your GCN Account or the Content. In particular, the availability of Content on the Paid Service may change from time to time (for various reasons, such as where relevant third party rights-holders withdraw or restrict our right to use that Content on the Service). We therefore have the right to add or withdraw such Content at any time, with or without notice. You acknowledge and agree that the Content available as part of a Paid Service Pass (including any free period of access or Promotional Offer) is variable and may change from time to time without notice. 
      6. There may also be times when we have to remove certain features or functionality and/or stop allowing certain devices or platforms from being able to access the Paid Service. We may also update or upgrade the Service from time to time. If changes to any element of the Service are likely to materially adversely affect the Paid Service we will try to make sure that any changes will not adversely affect you during your current subscription period so you have the chance to cancel your Paid Service Pass before the next subscription period begins by following the steps in Section 9 (Cancellation) above. If we have to make a materially adverse change to the Service during the term of your Paid Service Pass, we will give you 30 days’ notice and the right to cancel. If you do not cancel your Paid Service Pass after we have notified you about any changes and before these changes take place, and you continue to use the Paid Service, we will take that as your acceptance of the changes. 
      7. We may also have to make changes to the parts of the Paid Service where we have a valid reason to do so, such as:
        1. where we alter the design or layout of the Service;
        2. to improve and expand the features and functionality available as part of the Paid Service; or
        3. to comply with a change in applicable laws, or to address a potential security risk.
      8. If we have to (i) make a change to the Paid Service that materially disadvantages you; or (ii) a materially detrimental change to the Content, for example (1) we have to remove channels or entire categories of Content, and/or (2) we have to limit certain devices or platforms from being able to access the entire Service, due to technical limitations or due to restrictions in our commercial agreements with partners, at any time during your Paid Service Pass, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice and the right to cancel. If you do not cancel your Paid Service Pass after we have notified you about any such changes and before these changes take place, we will take that as your acceptance of the changes. 
        1. We will always try to make sure that any materially detrimental change to the Service that materially disadvantages you will not come into effect during your current subscription period. This means that we will tell you in advance and you will have the chance to cancel your Paid Service Pass before the change comes into effect (when the next subscription period begins) by following the steps in Section 9 (Cancellation). 
        2. If such a materially detrimental change is going to come into effect during your current subscription period, you will still be able to cancel your Paid Service Pass before the change comes into effect.  In these circumstances, we will provide you with a refund for amounts you have paid for the Paid Service but not yet received.
      9. This Section 14 does not apply to immaterial changes to any part of the Service which do not impede your use of the Service, including (without limitation) mere design changes or changes to Content.
    2. Ownership of Content
      1. With the exception of Content submitted to the Service by you (for which please refer to the general terms of use available at https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/app-terms-of-use/), all other Content on the Service is either owned by or licensed to DEL and/or its group companies, and is subject to copyright, trade mark rights, and other intellectual property rights of DEL and/or its group companies, or their licensors. 
      2. Any third party trade or service marks present on Content not uploaded or posted by you are trade or service marks of their respective owners. Save as outlined in the general terms of use available at https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/app-terms-of-use/, you therefore have no intellectual property rights in, or to, any part of the Service, other than the right to use it in accordance with these Terms of Use.
      3. You may not remove, alter or in any way tamper with any copyright notices or other proprietary markings included in the Service or any Content. Any copying, access, transfer, public performance or communication to the public or other use of the Service or the Content other than as expressly authorised by applicable law or these Terms of Use shall constitute an infringement of applicable intellectual property rights and a breach of these Terms of Use. In the event of such infringement, we, or one of our affiliated companies, may, without notice or prior intervention of a court or arbitral body, block your access to the Service and terminate any GCN Account you may have and pursue any rights or remedies available to us.
      4. DEL and its licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted in and to their Content.
    3. Content

If you have a GCN Account, you may contribute Content to the Service. Content you contribute and the rights you grant in respect of it are subject to the general terms of use available at https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/app-terms-of-use/.

    1. Your use of the Service
      1. You confirm that: (a) any information and details provided by you to us, including on registration of a GCN Account, are true, accurate and up to date in all respects and at all times; (b) you will at all times comply with these Terms of Use; and (c) you will not use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in a way which infringes the rights of anyone else.
      2. You must use the Service in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and any other restrictions on your use of the Service, the Content or your Paid Service Pass.
      3. You are permitted to use and view the Service and Content in accordance with these Terms of Use for your personal and non-commercial use only. The Service is licensed to you (not sold) for your personal and non-commercial use only. While you are using the Service, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, licence to access the Content and stream, download, temporarily store and view such Content. Except for the limited licence granted to you in these Terms of Use, no right, title or interest in the Service or Content shall be transferred to you. You must not reproduce, perform, display or exhibit the Service, a Paid Service Pass or Content in any public place.
      4. You can only watch Content featured in the Paid Service using your Paid Service Pass on a certain number of devices at the same time. You can find details of these restrictions in our Frequently Asked Questions https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/app-faqs/.
      5. Use outside your home country of residence: 
        1. If you are resident in the EEA, you can access the Content featured in the Paid Service usually available through your specific Paid Service Pass when visiting another EEA country, at no extra cost. This means that you can enjoy the same service abroad that you would at home; you will be accessing the same Content, in the same language, that you access through your Paid Service Pass when you are at home. This access is available only if you are temporarily abroad in another EEA country and we are able to verify that your country of residence is in the EEA.
        2. See our Frequently Asked Questions https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/app-faqs/ for more information about access to the Service outside your home country.
      6. Content limitations may also depend on the subscription plan you choose, and any restrictions imposed by our commercial partners. 
      7. You must not, and must not allow third parties to: 
        1. access, view (where applicable) and/or purchase the Content, your Paid Service Pass and/or Service using a virtual proxy network; 
        2. use your username and password to access the Service, your Paid Service Pass or the Content without authorisation; 
        3. reproduce, download, transmit, broadcast, display, perform, publish, license, offer for sale, make copies and/or distribute all or part of the Service, your Paid Service Pass or the Content (other than your Content) unless permitted by these Terms of Use or unless we make available the means for such distribution through functionality offered by the Service; 
        4. attempt to copy, reproduce, alter, modify, reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, transfer, exchange or translate the Service, your Paid Service Pass or the Content except as permitted by applicable law; 
        5. create derivative works of the Service, your Paid Service Pass or the Content of any kind whatsoever; 
        6. circumvent, remove, alter, deactivate, degrade or thwart any of the content protections in the Service, your Paid Service Pass or the Content; 
        7. reproduce, perform, display or exhibit the Service, any part of your Paid Service Pass (where applicable) or the Content in any public place; or 
        8. collect or harvest any personal data of any user of the Service (including any account name) or use any robot, bot, scraper, site search/retrieval application, proxy or other manual or automatic device, method, system or process to access, retrieve, index, “data mine,” or in any way reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of the Service, your Paid Service Pass or the Content.
      8. You agree not to register multiple times for a free period of access or for the same type of Promotional Offer. Any such action shall be a breach of these Terms of Use and may result in the termination of your GCN Account and/or Paid Service Pass. 
    2. Privacy

Any personal information you supply to us or that we collect from you when using the Service, your GCN Account and/or Paid Service Pass will be used by us in the ways set out in our Privacy Policy https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/app-privacy-policy/. Please also ensure you read our Cookies Policy https://www.playsportsnetwork.com/cookie-policy/. 

    1. Ending your right to use the Service
      1. We may immediately end or suspend your right to use all or any part of the Service, or (if applicable) your GCN Account or Paid Service Pass if we have a reasonable belief that you have breached these Terms of Use or if you are using the Service, the Content, your GCN Account or your Paid Service Pass in any manner other than for its intended purpose, in breach of these Terms of Use, fraudulently or illegally. If what you have done can be put right, we may give you a reasonable opportunity to do so.
      2. If we decide to discontinue any part of the Paid Service, we will give you at least 30 days’ prior notice (unless we need to discontinue the Paid Service (or any part of it) immediately for legal reasons, including in order to comply with a court order). If we discontinue a Paid Service, we may provide you with a refund for amounts you have paid for the Paid Service but not yet received.
      3. If we end or suspend your rights to use the Service, your GCN Account and/or Paid Service Pass, you must stop all activities authorised by these Terms of Use, including your use of the Service, your GCN Account and Paid Service Pass.
    2. Our liability to you
      1. You have certain statutory rights under the applicable laws of your territory.

For more information about your statutory rights contact your local consumer organisation.
      2. We accept liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or that of our employees and agents. We do not seek to exclude liability for fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct or gross negligence by us or our employees or agents.

        4. any malfunction or interruption to the Service or Content due to unforeseeable circumstances that prevent us from fulfilling our obligations to you and that can be considered as a “force majeure event” pursuant to local law (where applicable).  This could be due to things such as lightning, flood, severe weather, fire, explosion, terrorist activities, epidemic, pandemic, riots, war, anything done by a government or other public authority, or strikes or other industrial action, where such events are unforeseeable and outside of our control;
        5. any lack of functionality or failure to provide any part of the Service or the Content, or any loss of content or data that is due to:

          2. your failure to download any update or the most recent published version of the Service, or to meet the compatibility requirements; or

      5. IN CANADA, THE LAWS OF CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 20.6 TO 20.8. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE BELOW EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
      6. Apart from liability arising in respect of the circumstances set out in Section 20.1 (which is unlimited), to the fullest extent permitted under local law, in no event shall our total liability to you for all damages arising from your use of the Service or the Content exceed £50.00 or the amount you have paid for a Paid Service Pass (if applicable), whichever is the greater.
      7. We can't guarantee that the Service or the Content will be free from bugs or errors or that your access will be free from interruptions (for example there may be downtime for maintenance or updates or any power or server outages or other reasons outside our control), however where we are made aware of technical issues then we will always try to fix them.
      8. Please note that we are not responsible for any lack of functionality or failure to provide any part of the Service or the Content, or any loss of content or data that is due to: your equipment, devices, operating system or internet connection, your failure to download the most recent published version of the Service or meet the compatibility requirements or the consequences of you changing your equipment, device, operating system or internet connection.

    1. Changes to these Terms of Use 
      1. We may, from time to time, change these Terms of Use. The circumstances in which we may change these Terms of Use may include (without limitation): 
        1. to improve the Terms of Use, to make our Terms of Use clearer or easier to understand or to have all our customers on the same Terms of Use;
        2. to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements, such as mandatory laws that apply to us and our agreement with you, or where we are subject to a court order or judgment;
        3. to provide you with additional information about the Service; 
        4. where we need to make changes to the Service in order to improve it, including where we expand the scope of the Service by adding additional features, functionality or content;
        5. where we update the details or structure of your Paid Service Pass, or any of the other products we offer on the Service;
        6. we intend to change the way we structure our Service or we recognise the way we structure or run our business; or 
        7. for security reasons including where we introduce additional security checks or software to protect our Content or the Service.

In addition, we provide the Service on an ongoing basis and we cannot foresee what may change in the future.  This means we may make changes or additions to these Terms of Use for reasons other than those set out above.

      1. If we change these Terms of Use, we will tell you. We will aim to notify you before making any material changes to these Terms of Use, unless the changes need to be implemented quickly for security, legal or regulatory reasons in which case we will notify you of the changes as soon as we can. 
      2. If any change to these Terms of Use will materially disadvantage you, or materially impact the availability of a Service, we will provide you with 30 days’ notice before the changes become effective and you can choose to cancel your Paid Service Pass (if applicable) before the changes become effective (see Section 9 (Cancellation) above). If you do not cancel your Paid Service Pass after we have notified you about any such changes and before these changes take place, we will take that as your acceptance of the changes.
        1. We will always try to make sure that any changes to the Terms of Use which materially disadvantage you, will not come into effect until the start of your next subscription period. This means that we will tell you in advance and you will have the chance to cancel your Paid Service Pass before the change takes effect (when the next subscription period begins) by following the steps in Section 9 (Cancellation).
        2. If a materially adverse change is going to come into effect during your current subscription period, you will still be able to cancel your Paid Service Pass (if applicable) before the change comes into effect. In these circumstances, we will provide you with a refund for amounts you have paid for a Paid Service but not yet received.
      3. The most up to date Terms of Use will always be available on the Service from the effective date of those updated Terms of Use.
    1. Service Messages
      1. If you have registered a GCN Account, we will send you information relating to your use of the Service, your GCN Account and/or Paid Service Pass you have purchased (e.g. changes in password, payment authorizations, invoices or payment methods, confirmation messages, content and feature updates and other service or transactional messages) by in-Service message or email to the email address provided during sign up. 
      2. If you signed up via a third party, for example via one of our partners or using your account details with a platform, then we may obtain your email from that third party or platform so that we can keep you up to date with service-related messages. 
    2. Transfer of rights 
      1. Except as set out below, the agreement between us and you is personal to you and no third party is entitled to benefit under it. You agree we can transfer, sub-contract and sub-license (as applicable) our rights and obligations under these Terms of Use to any company, firm or person provided that your GCN Account will not be adversely affected as a result of such transfer. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use to anyone else. 
      2. You acknowledge and agree that each member of the group of companies of which DEL is a part shall be third party beneficiaries to the Terms of Use and that such other companies shall be entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision of the Terms of Use which confers a benefit on (or rights in favour of) them. Other than this, no other person or company shall be a third party beneficiary of the Terms of Use.
    3. Severance

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall not be affected.

    1. Waiver

To the extent we fail to or decide not to exercise any right of claim against you to which we are entitled, this will not constitute a waiver of that right unless otherwise indicated to you in writing.

    1. Governing law
      1. These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the territory identified in the table below. However, these Terms of Use will not limit any consumer protection rights that you may be entitled to under the mandatory laws of your country of residence.

    1. Complaints

If you have any complaint please speak to us first, by contacting us using the details below. 

In addition, prior to the UK leaving the European Union (“Brexit”) and subject to any pre-Brexit transitional period, please note that if you live in a European Union member state, or in Norway, Iceland or Lichtenstein, disputes may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution ("ODR") platform available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We do not currently use alternative dispute resolution ("ADR"), including through the ODR platform, as a means of settling consumer complaints.

    1. Mandatory arbitration
      1. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND HOW CLAIMS THAT YOU AND PSNL HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED. This Section is deemed to be a "written agreement to arbitrate" pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and PSNL agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the "writing" requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section can only be amended by mutual agreement.
      2. We believe that arbitration is a faster, more convenient and less expensive way to resolve any disputes or disagreements that you may have with us. Therefore, pursuant to these Terms of Use, if you have any dispute or disagreement with us regarding (i) your use of or interaction with the Service, (ii) any purchases or other transactions or relationships with PSNL, or (iii) any data or information you may provide to PSNL or that PSNL may gather in connection with such use, interaction or transaction (collectively, "PSNL Transactions or Relationships"), you will not have the right to pursue a claim in court, or have a jury decide the claim and you will not have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in arbitration. By using or interacting with the Service, or engaging in any other PSNL Transactions or Relationships with us, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below.
      3. We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. If those efforts fail, by using our Service, you agree that any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against PSNL, and any claim that PSNL may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, or any PSNL Transactions or Relationships shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration ("Arbitration") administered by JAMS or its successor ("JAMS") and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the "Applicable Rules"). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is no longer in existence, the Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the "AAA") instead, and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the "Applicable Rules" in such circumstances). If JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) at the time the arbitration is filed has Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness for Consumer Arbitrations in effect which would be applicable to the matter in dispute, PSNL agrees to provide the benefit of such Minimum Standards to you to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth in this Section, provided, however, that in no event may such Minimum Standards contravene or restrict the application of subpart (e) or (i) below. Furthermore, this Section shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
      4. You further agree that:
        1. Arbitrator Will Interpret This Agreement. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Service and/or these arbitration provisions in this Section hereof, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Service is void or voidable;
        2. Location of Arbitration. The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location determined by JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) pursuant to the Applicable Rules (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you and does not require travel in excess of 100 miles from your home or place of business); or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and PSNL; or (iii) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission;
        3. Governing Law. The Arbitrator (i) shall apply internal laws of the State of New York consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the U.S., irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii) shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with New York or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (iii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) shall have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief;
        4. No Class Relief. The Arbitration can resolve only your and/or PSNL's individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated;
        5. Written Award. The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator's complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an "Award"). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets;
        6. Arbitration Costs. In the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of Arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, PSNL will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the Arbitration as the Arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive, regardless of the outcome of the Arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith;
        7. Reasonable Attorney's Fees. In the event you recover an Award greater than PSNL's last written settlement offer, the Arbitrator shall also have the right to include in the Award PSNL's reimbursement of your reasonable and actual out-of-pocket attorneys' fees associated with the Arbitration, but PSNL shall in all events bear its own attorneys' fees;
        8. Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause. With the exception of subpart (e) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (e) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor PSNL shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute, and must instead bring any claims in a court of competent jurisdiction;
        9. Modification of Arbitration Clause With Notice. PSNL may modify these arbitration provisions, but such modifications shall only become effective thirty (30) days after PSNL has given notice of such modifications and only on a prospective basis for claims arising from PSNL Transactions and Relationships occurring after the effective date of such notification; and
        10. Small Claims Matters are Excluded. No Class Relief or Joinder of Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, at your option, you may bring any claim you have against PSNL in your local small claims court within the U.S., if your claim is within such court's jurisdictional limit; provided that such court does not have the authority to entertain any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated in such proceeding.
    2. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") notice
      1. In operating the Service, we may act as a "services provider" (as defined by DMCA) and offer services as online provider of materials and links to third party web services. As a result, third party materials that we do not own or control may be transmitted, stored, accessed or otherwise made available using the Service. PSNL has in place certain legally mandated procedures regarding allegations of copyright infringement occurring on the Service. PSNL has adopted a policy that provides for the immediate removal of any content or the suspension of any user that is found to have infringed on the rights of PSNL or of a third party, or that has otherwise violated any intellectual property laws or regulations, or any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you believe any material available via the Service infringes a copyright, you should notify us using the notice procedure for claimed infringement under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. Sect. 512(c)(2)). We will respond expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing and will follow the procedures specified in the DMCA to resolve the claim between the notifying party and the alleged infringer who provided the content. Our designated agent (i.e., proper party for notice) to whom you should address infringement notices under the DMCA is DMCA_notices@discovery.com.
      2. Please provide the following notice:
        1. Identify the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
        2. Identify the material on the Service that you claim is infringing, with enough detail so that we may locate it on the Service;
        3. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
        4. A statement by you declaring under penalty of perjury that (a) the above information in your notice is accurate, and (b) that you are the owner of the copyright interest involved or that you are authorized to act on behalf of that owner;
        5. Your address, telephone number, and email address; and
        6. Your physical or electronic signature.
      3. We may give notice to our users of any infringement notice by means of a general notice on any of our services, electronic mail to a user's e-mail address in our records, or by written communication sent by first-class mail to a user's physical address in our records. If you receive such an infringement notice, you may provide counter-notification in writing to the designated agent that includes the information below. To be effective, the counter-notification must be a written communication that includes the following:
        1. Your physical or electronic signature;
        2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
        3. A statement from you under the penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
        4. Your name, physical address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of a Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your physical address is located, or if your physical address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of allegedly infringing material or an agent of such person.
