Program Viewing and Purchase Options
-
Producers may offer the following purchase options through Producer-branded websites and applications:
-
Rental: After paying the stated fee, you may stream the Program an unlimited number of times during the stated rental period.
-
Purchase: After paying the stated fee, you may stream the Program an unlimited number of times; if offered by the Producer, you may download the Program.
-
Subscription: For a recurring fee, you may stream the Programs offered within a Producer’s subscription channel an unlimited number of times during your subscription period. The Producer may add or remove Programs from the channel at any time.
To make a purchase, you must provide a valid payment method. We may apply taxes, including VAT (value-added tax), to any charges. Prices and other terms of purchase are subject to change. Producer will attempt to notify you in advance of any such price changes prior to your next billing cycle. If you do not wish to accept a price change, you may cancel your subscription in accordance with this Agreement. If a Producer provides you access to a Program on a free basis, such access will be deemed a “purchase” for the purpose of this Agreement.
ALL PURCHASES, INCLUDING RECURRING CHARGES, ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.
Free Trials and Discounts: Producers may offer free-trial or discounted subscriptions. When a free-trial period ends, your paid subscription begins (unless you have canceled) and you must pay the full monthly or annual fee. If a Producer provides a discount for the first subscription period, you must pay the discounted fee; in any renewal, you must pay the full fee.
Automatic Renewal: To the extent permitted by applicable law, subscriptions automatically renew for the subscription period until you cancel. Your payment method will be charged at the beginning of each subscription period. If a Purchaser offers a free-trial period, your payment method will be charged at the end of the free-trial period unless you cancel before the end of that period.
How to Decline Renewal: To pause or cancel a subscription, visit your account settings. Your changes will be applied to your next subscription period.
In-App Purchase: Producers may allow you to purchase subscriptions within apps you download. When you make such “in-app” purchases, you will be billed by the app platform, not us. To turn off automatic renewal for subscriptions, access your platform’s account settings (not Amethyst’s). Any billing inquiries should be directed to the app platform.
