Content Delivery. Accessing the Content available on the Service for any unauthorised purpose or in any manner other than either Streaming (as defined below) or delivered via any of our authorised third party operators and their associated method(s) of delivery, is expressly prohibited.

We may at times allow certain Content to be downloaded by you on a temporary basis, to be stored on the hard-drive of your device(s) for a certain, limited, period of time, so you can enjoy STARZ Play even when you might not be able to access the internet in order to Stream.

PAYMENT INFORMATION AND BILLING POLICIES.

Recurring Subscription. By registering for the Service, you agree to the pricing terms as set forth on the Service, as we may update them from time to time. You agree to pay all fees due for your Subscription to the Service ("Subscription Fees") on or around the date you register for the Service (unless you participate in a free trial or other Promotion as provided below), and you hereby authorize Playco to charge your Payment Method (as defined below) for all such Subscription Fees as and when they fall due at that time and continuing thereafter. You acknowledge and agree that your Subscription will automatically renew for additional Subscription periods on or around each renewal date after you registered for the Service (each a "Renewal Date"), unless you properly cancel your Subscription prior to the applicable Renewal Date (as per the cancellation process detailed below). You further authorize Playco to charge your Payment Method the Subscription Fees on or around each Renewal Date. Playco may add new services for additional fees and charges, or amend fees and charges for existing services (including but not limited to your Subscription and your Subscription Fees), at any time in its sole discretion. Any change to our pricing or payment terms (including but not limited to Subscription Fees) shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you as provided in this Agreement.

No Commitment. Don't worry, although you can choose to sit back and enjoy your Subscription to STARZ Play until the end of times there is actually no long term commitment or fixed term contract. You can cancel this Agreement and thereby your Subscription via the settings page on the Service at any time (but no less than one (1) full day before a Renewal Date and before your next period of Subscription is due to start), and when you cancel it, you'll continue to have access to the Service until the end of the Subscription period you've paid for (or if you're taking part in a free trial Promotion, at the end of that corresponding period). If you do choose to cancel in this way, your Subscription will not be automatically renewed and no further payments will be taken from you. Nothing is stopping you from coming back though, and of course you can re-activate the Service on your Subscription at a later date. However, there are NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS for cancellation, unless required otherwise by applicable law, in which case any refund will be effected only through your original Payment Method (as defined below). In the event that you or Playco suspends or terminates your Subscription or this Agreement, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund, credit, or exchange for any unused time on a Subscription, any license or Subscription Fees for any portion of the Service, any Content or data associated with your Subscription, or for anything else.

Payment Method, Charges, and Taxes. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service must be legitimate, accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all fees and/or charges incurred by you and/or any other user of your credit card (Visa and Mastercard), debit card, PayPal account, direct third party operator billing, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service ("Payment Method") at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. Any details you submit when making payment via credit/debit card, will be provided directly to our payment provider via secured connection, and you must retain copies of any transaction records, merchant rules and policies. You will pay any applicable taxes and other fees, if any, whether now applicable or applied in the future, relating to any such purchases, transactions or other monetary transaction interactions, in the Service Location in which you make such payment. Multiple transactions may result in multiple postings to your monthly statement.

Free Trial and Promotions. We may, at our sole and absolute discretion, offer free trial periods of the Service and/or other promotions in connection with the Service ("Promotion(s)").

We may offer a special promotional plans or memberships with and/or 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.

In the event a free trial Promotion is offered to you, you can try the Service before you buy for a pre-determined period immediately following your registration, depending on that particular offer or trial period. However, this will still require you to input your normal registration details (such as name, address details, age and/or telephone number) as part of your Subscription. We only allow one free trial Promotion per Subscription, household, telephone number, Payment Method, name, or alter-ego, and we reserve the right to prevent you from taking advantage of such free trial Promotion if we think you have already had one.

If you're starting a free trial, you will still need to provide details of your chosen Payment Method but, please rest assured that no payment will be taken by us until and unless you continue your Subscription once that free trial Promotion comes to an end. You can of course cancel your free trial Promotion at any time prior to the expiry of the free trial Promotion, with no further obligation, by informing us and cancelling your Subscription as described above, but whilst you can re-activate your Subscription at any time, you will not be permitted to do so and again benefit from a free trial Promotion.

You acknowledge and agree that the full Subscription Fees will become immediately due for your continued Subscription and access to the Service upon the expiration of any Promotion, unless you cancel your Subscription prior to the expiration of said Promotion. You agree to pay all such Subscription Fees on or around such date, and you authorize Playco to charge your Payment Method for all such Subscription Fees at such time.

Pre-Paid Vouchers and Gift Cards. Perhaps you're a lucky Luke and you've been given a pre-paid voucher or gift card giving you a Subscription to STARZ Play for a set Subscription period. Or, maybe you've just paid for it yourself. Either way, you've lucked out as you have a definite pathway to a STARZ Play Subscription. Instructions will be provided to you on how to use and activate your voucher or gift card but just so you know, you won't be able to avail of any free trial Promotion until after the expiry of that pre-paid Subscription period, when you then continue your Subscription using a valid Method of Payment.
