Terms of Use

Overview:

Welcome to SkitterTV. We are an online subscription service, providing our members with access to television and other audio visual entertainment ("TV") on certain streaming media players ("Skitter ready devices"). We've put together here some detailed terms and conditions. You should read and understand them as they govern your use of our service. These Terms of Use provide that all disputes between you and SkitterTV will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury and your claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review the Arbitration Agreement below for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with SkitterTV. These Terms of Use are also a resource for you to get a deeper understanding of how our service works, including the kinds of data we collect, the way we bill, how we interact with you and other useful details about our service. We encourage you to revisit these Terms of Use when you have a question about the service or want to know how something works. For your convenience, we've indexed the Terms of Use so as to help you more easily navigate and access areas of interest. We hope you enjoy your SkitterTV experience.

Acceptance of Terms of Use

These Terms of Use, which include our Privacy Policy and End User License Agreement ("EULA") govern your use of the SkitterTV service, including all features and functionalities, instant streaming, our website and user interfaces, and all content and software associated therewith (the "SkitterTV service" or "service"). By using, visiting, or browsing the SkitterTV service, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you should not use the SkitterTV service, including our website and user interfaces.

These entities may change from time to time.

Privacy and Communications Preferences

Any personally identifying information submitted through the SkitterTV service is subject to our Privacy Policy, the terms of which are incorporated herein. Please review our Privacy Policy to understand our practices. The date of any changes to our Privacy Policy will be noted at the bottom of the policy. By using our service, you are consenting to receive certain communications from us. For example, SkitterTV may send you newsletters about new SkitterTV features, special offers, promotional announcements and customer surveys via email or other methods. If you no longer want to receive the newsletters, other promotional announcements or non-transactional communications, simply use your account name and password to access the "Manage mailing preferences" link on the "Your Account" page and uncheck those items to unsubscribe or click on the unsubscribe link in our email communications.

These communications are part of your relationship with SkitterTV and you receive them as part of the SkitterTV membership. You agree that any notice, agreements, disclosure or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.

Membership and Billing

You can find the specific details regarding your membership with SkitterTV at anytime by visiting our website and clicking on the "Sign In" link. This login is for customers who have signed up through the skittertv.com website, not through our partner telephone companies.

Billing

By starting your SkitterTV membership, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge you a monthly membership fee at the then current rate, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the SkitterTV service to the Payment Method you provided during registration (or to a different Payment Method if you change your account information). Please note that prices and charges are subject to change with notice. As used in these Terms of Use, "billing" shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method. The membership fee will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your membership and each month thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. Visit our website and click on the "Membership Terms and Details" link on the "Your Account" page to see the commencement date for your next renewal period. We automatically bill your Payment Method each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership. Membership charges are fully earned upon payment. In the event your paying membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we bill your Payment Method on the last day of such month. For example, if you started your SkitterTV membership or became a paying member on January 31st, your next payment date is February 28th and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional offers, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts. For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may charge you a foreign transaction fee or related charges. Check with your bank and credit card issuers for details.

If you are eligible, and have signed up for a free trial, your Payment Method will be authorized for up to approximately one month of service during free trials; however, no charges will be made against the Payment Method unless you do not cancel prior to the end of your free trial period. We may also periodically authorize your card in anticipation of membership or related charges. Membership fees and charges are fully earned upon payment. PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED PERIODS. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance. We may change the fees and charges in effect, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will give you advance notice of these changes by email. If you want to use a different Payment Method or if there is a change in Payment Method, such as your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method information by visiting our website and clicking on the "Your Account" link, available at the top of the pages of the SkitterTV website. If your Payment Method reaches its expiration date and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see, "Cancellation" below), you authorize us to continue billing that Payment Method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

Ongoing Membership

Your SkitterTV membership, which may start with a free trial portion, will continue month- to-month unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it. You must cancel your membership before it renews each month in order to avoid billing of the next month's membership fees to your Payment Method. We will bill the monthly membership fee to the Payment Method you provide to us during registration (or to a different Payment Method if you change your account information). Membership fees are fully earned upon payment.

Cancellation

You may cancel your SkitterTV membership at any time. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-MONTH MEMBERSHIP PERIODS. To cancel, visit our website and click on "Cancel Membership" on the "Your Account" page and follow the instructions for cancellation under the heading "Cancel Membership."

Right to Terminate

We reserve the right to terminate or restrict your use of our service, without notice, for any or no reason whatsoever.

How Our Service Works

SkitterTV is an online subscription service providing its members with access to live TV using SkitterTV ready devices. Some of these devices are manufactured and sold by entities other than SkitterTV.

We reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to make changes from time to time and without notice in how we operate our service. Any description of how our service works should not be considered a representation or obligation with respect to how the service will always work. We are constantly making adjustments to our service and often these adjustments are not completely captured within these Terms of Use.

Availability. The availability of TV channels will change from time to time. The quality of the display of the streaming movies & TV shows may vary from device to device, and may be affected by a variety of factors, such as your location, the bandwidth available through and/or speed of your Internet connection. SkitterTV streams a small amount of data as a buffer each time you start watching. Frequently starting and stopping TV will result in a minor increase to the amount of data SkitterTV streams to you per hour. In most cases this will be less than a few minutes worth. You are responsible for all Internet access charges. Please check with your Internet provider for information on possible Internet data usage charges. SkitterTV makes no representations or warranties about the quality of your watching experience on your display.

Start Time: The time it takes to begin watching a TV channel will vary based on a number of factors, including your location, available bandwidth at the time, the channel you have selected and the configuration of your SkitterTV ready device. In addition, you must be connected to the Internet the entire time you are watching.

Device Limitations: To enjoy watching SkitterTV, your equipment must satisfy certain system requirements. YOU MAY CONNECT UP TO FIVE UNIQUE AUTHORIZED SKITTERTV READY DEVICES TO YOUR ACCOUNT. The standard subscription allows ONE device to be connected and up to FOUR additional devices may be added to your account (for an additional fee).

Geographic Limitation: You may watch TV through the SkitterTV service only in geographic locations where we offer our service. The content that may be available to watch will vary by geographic location. SkitterTV will use technologies to verify your geographic location and your billing address must be within the geographic location of your subscription plan.

SkitterTV streaming software: SkitterTV streaming software is developed by SkitterTV and is designed to enable streaming of content from SkitterTV through SkitterTV ready devices. This software may vary by device and medium, and functionalities may also differ between devices. This software is licensed to you by SkitterTV pursuant to these Terms of Use and solely for the purpose of using the SkitterTV service and for no other purpose whatsoever. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE, INCLUDING ITS CONTINUING COMPATIBILITY WITH OUR SERVICE. Please refer to the Disclaimers of Warranties and Limitations of Liability set forth in these Terms of Use. You may not copy or reproduce the software nor may you decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify or creative derivative works of any of the software, or any portion thereof. Any unauthorized use of the software is strictly prohibited and SkitterTV reserves the right to not provide the software (including updates) to you at any time and to discontinue the ability to access the SkitterTV service through such software at any time, without prior or any notice.

END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT: BY USING OUR SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE (1) TO THE SKITTERTV SOFTWARE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOUND HERE AS SUCH MAY BE AMENDED OR ADDED TO FROM TIME TO TIME AND (2) TO RECEIVE, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE OR PROMPTING, UPDATED VERSIONS OF THE SKITTERTV AND RELATED THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE FOREGOING TERMS, DO NOT USE OUR SERVICE.

We do not warrant that any of the software used and or licensed in connection with our service will be compatible with other third party software nor do we warrant that operation of our service and the associated software will not damage or disrupt other software or hardware. In addition, some SkitterTV ready devices are manufactured and sold by entities other than SkitterTV. A SkitterTV ready device is any electronics equipment that is authorized to decode and capable of decoding TV that is transmitted by SkitterTV. AS SUCH, WE DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR OTHERWISE WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE DEVICES, INCLUDING THE CONTINUING COMPATIBILITY OF THE DEVICE WITH OUR SERVICE. By using our service, you agree to look solely to the entity that manufactured and/or sold you the device for any issues related to the device and its compatibility with the SkitterTV service. Any issues related to our service, including any system requirements, are covered and limited by these Terms of Use. Please refer to the Disclaimers of Warranties and Limitations of Liability set forth in these Terms of Use.

In response to requests from content providers, or due to technical limitations, or for any reason in our sole and absolute discretion, and without prior notice to you, some or all TV channels may not be watched, or may cease to be available for watching, through our service on some SkitterTV ready devices.

Features & Functionality

Passwords

The member who created the SkitterTV account and whose Payment Method is charged is referred to here as the Account Owner. The Account Owner has access and control over the SkitterTV account. The Account Owner's control is exercised through use of the Account Owner's Account Number and PIN and therefore to maintain exclusive control, the Account Owner should not reveal the PIN to anyone. In addition, if the Account Owner wishes to prohibit others from contacting SkitterTV Customer Service and potentially altering the Account Owner's control, the Account Owner should not reveal the Payment Method details (e.g. last four digits of their credit or debit card, or their email address) associated with their account.

BY SHARING THE SKITTERTV SERVICE PIN, THE ACCOUNT OWNER AGREES TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSURING THAT HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF USE AND SUCH ACCOUNT OWNER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF THE HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS.

Applications

You may encounter third-party applications (including, without limitation, websites, widgets, software, or other software utilities) ("Application(s)") that interact with the SkitterTV service. These Applications may import data related to your SkitterTV account and activity and otherwise gather data from you. These Applications are provided solely as a convenience to you, and SkitterTV is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of such Applications. SUCH APPLICATIONS ARE OWNED OR OPERATED BY THIRD PARTIES THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO, ASSOCIATED WITH OR SPONSORED BY SKITTERTV AND MAY NOT BE AUTHORIZED FOR USE WITH OUR SERVICE IN ALL COUNTRIES. Some of these Applications may even use SkitterTV trademarks. Unless otherwise noted by SkitterTV on the SkitterTV website, SkitterTV is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of such Applications. You will need to make your own independent judgment regarding your interaction with these Applications. If you choose, at your sole and absolute discretion and risk, to use an Application, such Application may interact with, connect to or gather and/or pull information from and to your SkitterTV account. By using such Applications, you acknowledge and agree to the following: (i) if you use an Application to share information relating to your SkitterTV account, you are consenting to the information about your account being shared; (ii) your use of an Application may cause personally identifying information to be publicly disclosed and/or associated with you, even if SkitterTV has not provided such information; and (iii) your USE OF AN APPLICATION IS AT YOUR OWN OPTION AND RISK, and you will hold SkitterTV harmless for the sharing of information relating to your SkitterTV account that results from your use of an Application. You must read all log-in boxes and other pop-up boxes closely for notices about sharing your SkitterTV account information with, through or by any other means identified on an Application. In addition, the Application's end user license agreement, terms of use, and/or any other documentation or materials designated by the Application will govern your use of that Application. It is possible that you may be able to revoke an Application's access to your SkitterTV account at any time, but information shared prior to revocation may continue to be viewable within, or otherwise continue to be used by, the Application depending on the policies of such Application. If you have any questions, concerns, complaints, or claims about the Applications, you should contact the support or contact personnel of the Application and not SkitterTV, unless otherwise indicated by SkitterTV. SKITTER DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF APPLICATIONS.

Account Access; Identity Protection

In order to provide you with ease of access to your account and to help administer the SkitterTV service, SkitterTV implements technology that enables us to recognize you as the account holder and provide you with direct access to your account without requiring you to retype any password or other user identification when you revisit the SkitterTV service. You are responsible for updating and maintaining the truth and accuracy of the information you provide to us relating to your account.

You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your SkitterTV ready device. If you disclose your password to anyone or share your account and/or devices with other people, you take full responsibility for their actions. Where possible, users of public or shared devices should log out at the completion of each visit. If you sell or return a SkitterTV ready device, you should logout and/or deactivate the device before doing so. Similarly, if your SkitterTV ready device is lost or stolen, please deactivate the SkitterTV ready device. If you fail to log out or deactivate your device, subsequent users may access the SkitterTV service through your account and may be able to access certain of your account information. To deactivate a device, press the "log out" button in the SkitterTV application on your device.

If you find that you're a victim of identity theft and it involves a SkitterTV account, you should notify Customer Service. Then, you should report this instance to all your card issuers, as well as your local law enforcement agency. Also, you should be mindful of any communication requesting that you submit credit card or other account information. Providing your information in response to these types of communications can result in identity theft. Always access your sensitive account information by going directly to the SkitterTV website and not through a hyperlink in an email or any other electronic communication, even if it looks official. SkitterTV reserves the right to place any account on hold anytime with or without notification to the member in order to protect itself and its partners from what it believes to be fraudulent activity. SkitterTV is not obligated to credit or discount a membership for holds placed on the account by either a representative of SkitterTV or by the automated processes of SkitterTV.

While SkitterTV does distribute products that may be watched by children, the SkitterTV service is not intended to be used by children, without involvement, supervision, and approval of a parent or legal guardian (see also "Parental Controls"). Unless otherwise specified, the SkitterTV service, and any content viewed through our service, are for your personal and non-commercial use only and we grant you a limited, non exclusive, non transferable, license to access the SkitterTV service for that purpose. Except for the foregoing limited license, no right, title or interest shall be transferred to you. You may not download (other than through page caching necessary for personal use, or as otherwise expressly permitted by these Terms of Use), modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, duplicate, publish, license, create derivative works from, or offer for sale any information contained on, or obtained from or through, the SkitterTV service, without our express written consent.

Links and Pages

Some of the hyperlinks on the SkitterTV website may lead to other websites or other content that are not controlled by, or affiliated with, SkitterTV.

Claims of Copyright Infringement

It is the policy of SkitterTV to respect the intellectual property rights of others. SkitterTV does not condone unauthorized reproduction or distribution of copyrighted content. If you believe your work has been reproduced or distributed in a way that constitutes copyright infringement or are aware of any infringing material available through the SkitterTV service, please notify us.

Governing Law

These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Georgia, U.S.A. without regard to conflict of laws provisions. If any provision or provisions of these terms shall be held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the law of any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and shall remain in full force and effect.

Arbitration Agreement

You and SkitterTV agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the SkitterTV service, including our website, user interfaces, these Terms of Use and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. 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. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and SkitterTV are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your SkitterTV membership.

If you elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to SkitterTV, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim ("Notice"). The Notice to SkitterTV should be addressed to: General Counsel, Skitter, Inc., 3230 Peachtree Corners Circle Suite H Norcross GA 30092 ("Notice Address"). If SkitterTV elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the address used for your membership account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by SkitterTV, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If SkitterTV and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or SkitterTV may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by SkitterTV or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after SkitterTV receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless SkitterTV and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules including the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator). If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of SkitterTV's last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if SkitterTV did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then SkitterTV will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

YOU AND SKITTERTV AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and SkitterTV agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.
