4. SUBSCRIPTIONS

4.1 Direct-to-Consumer Subscription. You may purchase a direct-to-consumer Subscription to the Service directly. Either we or our authorized vendor(s) ("Payment Service") will process the Payment Method. By providing a Payment Method to us, you agree that we or our Payment Service are authorized to periodically charge the applicable Subscription fee including any applicable taxes and service fees ("Subscription Fee") on a recurring basis until you cancel your Subscription. You may edit your Payment Method by signing into your STARZ Account and viewing your Billing Plan and Information details within Settings. We or our Payment Service will attempt to verify the Payment Method you provide, and may do this by processing an authorization hold. If your Payment Method expires and you do not update your Payment Method or cancel your Subscription before it automatically renews, you authorize us and/or our Payment Service to continue billing, and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If a valid Payment Method is not activated on your STARZ Account when a payment becomes due, we may suspend or cancel your Subscription.

4.2 Subscription with Distributor. If you purchase a Subscription through a Distributor, the Distributor will process your Payment Method and give you further details on how to sign in or create your STARZ Account. For questions regarding a Subscription purchased through a Distributor, please contact your Distributor directly.

4.3 Subscription Offerings and Plans. We offer many different Subscription plans to access the Platform and the pricing and offers for Subscriptions to the Platform vary and change over time without notice (except as required by applicable law). Subscription plans may have different conditions or limitations which will be disclosed during your sign-up or in other materials describing the Subscription plan. We reserve the right to change the terms of your Subscription, including the price, from time to time. You are responsible for all internet access and device charges.

The terms of such Bundle subscription will be provided at the time you subscribe including the terms of use/subscription agreement/privacy notice for the subscription service(s) included in the Bundle with STARZ.

4.6 Pausing a Subscription. You may pause your subscription by visiting Settings in your Subscription account.

While paused, you will not have access to streaming content or Subscription features.

5. RECURRING SUBSCRIPTION, PAYMENT, PRICING, CANCELLATION, REFUNDS & PROMOTIONAL OFFERS

5.1 Recurring Subscription. Subject to Section 5.8 (Free Trials and Promotional Offers), Starz or Distributor will charge the first Subscription Fee to your Payment Method on the date Starz or Distributor confirms your Subscription purchase. After that, YOU AGREE THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED FOR SUBSEQUENT BILLING PERIODS OF EQUAL LENGTH TO YOUR CURRENT BILLING PERIOD (FOR EXAMPLE, MONTHLY OR ANNUALLY) AT THE END OF THE BILLING PERIOD AT THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION FEE (PLUS APPLICABLE TAXES AND FEES) UNLESS YOU CANCEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5.6 (CANCELLATION).

5.2 Payment. By providing the Payment Method, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use such Payment Method. The Payment Method and other billing information that you submit ("Personal Billing Information") is a subset of your STARZ Account information. BY ESTABLISHING A PAYMENT METHOD WITH STARZ OR DISTRIBUTOR, YOU AGREE TO PAY THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE ON A DESIGNATED PERIODIC CYCLE TO ACCESS THE SERVICE AND BUNDLE ("SUBSCRIPTION FEE") ALONG WITH ANY APPLICABLE TAXES. THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE WILL BE BILLED AT THE TIME YOU ESTABLISH YOUR SUBSCRIPTION (EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF A TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION) AND ON AN ONGOING, REGULAR BASIS BASED ON THE PLAN SELECTED AT THE TIME OF SUBSCRIPTION (E.G. MONTHLY, ANNUAL, QUARTERLY ETC.) UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. ALL PAYMENTS ARE PROCESSED AND BILLING CYCLES DETERMINED BY STARZ OR APPLICABLE DISTRIBUTOR. Please carefully review the payment and billing policies prior to establishing your Subscription. It is your responsibility to update and maintain the Payment Method associated with your Subscription and all changes to your Payment Method must be processed through Payment Processor or your Distributor. In the event of a failed attempt to charge to your primary payment method (e.g. if your payment method has expired), we reserve the right to retry billing your payment method or, where you have consented, to use any other stored payment method associated with your account. If a payment is not successfully authorized due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, we may suspend or terminate your subscription and charge a processing fee when payment is successfully authorized. Except as specified in Section 25 (Dispute Resolution), you will remain liable for all amounts and all costs incurred to collect these amounts, such as bank overdraft fees, collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, and arbitration costs.

5.3 Payment Processor. Your Personal Billing Information may be collected and processed by a Payment Processor. Starz will use your Personal Billing Information in accordance with Starz's Privacy Notice, but the use of your Personal Billing Information by any Payment Processor will be governed by such Payment Processor's own independent privacy policy and/or terms of use, as applicable. IN THE EVENT THE PAYMENT PROCESSOR FAILS TO COMPLY WITH ITS OWN PRIVACY POLICY, APPLICABLE TERMS, OR EXPERIENCES A SECURITY INCIDENT THAT IMPACTS YOUR PERSONAL BILLING INFORMATION OR OTHER RELATED INFORMATION, STARZ WILL IN NO WAY BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR SUCH ACTIVITY.

5.4 Pricing. Pricing for the Service and Bundle may vary and Starz or Distributor may change the price for a Subscription to the Service and Bundle at any time subject to Starz and such Distributor's policies, and in compliance with applicable law.

5.5 Price Changes. Any changes to pricing will be communicated to subscribers in accordance with applicable law and if the price change is not acceptable to the subscriber, the Subscription may be cancelled. Starz is not responsible for Distributor policies, and Subscriptions can have differing conditions and limitations.

5.6 Cancellation. YOU CAN CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME. YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION BEFORE IT RENEWS TO AVOID BEING CHARGED FOR THE NEXT BILLING CYCLE SUBSCRIPTION FEE. IF YOU DO NOT CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED AT THE NEW PRICE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF THE RENEWAL, AND YOU AUTHORIZE US TO CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD FOR THESE AMOUNTS. If you subscribed to the Service or Bundle through: (a) Starz, you may cancel your Subscription by visiting the "Settings" section of your STARZ Account, selecting the "Cancel Subscription" link, and following the instructions; or (b) a Distributor, you will need to cancel your Subscription directly with that Distributor in accordance with your agreement with that Distributor (for more information please click the "Support Center" link at www.starz.com and then the "Account Questions" and "Cancellation" buttons). If you cancel your Subscription, the cancellation will go into effect at the end of your then-current paid Subscription period. You acknowledge and agree that cancellation of your Subscription is your sole recourse if you have any dissatisfaction, issue, or concern related to the Platform. Starz is not responsible for any cancellation requirements or policies of Distributor. If you cancel your Subscription, we will retain your information in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

5.7 Refunds. UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DO NOT PROVIDE CREDIT, REFUNDS, OR PRORATED BILLING FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS THAT ARE CANCELLED. However, you will continue to have access to the Service and Bundle through the end of your current billing period. Starz and each Distributor reserve the right to offer refunds, discounts, or other consideration in select circumstances at their sole discretion. A Distributor may choose to offer refunds or other consideration in the event of cancellation in accordance with their agreement with you.

5.8 Free Trials and Promotional Offers. The Service may be made available to you on a free trial basis for a limited time ("Trial Subscription"). Starz and Distributors are under no obligation to offer a Trial Subscription, and each reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine the timing, availability, and eligibility for a Trial Subscription. The terms and conditions of each Trial Subscription will be set forth in the marketing materials accompanying the Trial Subscription offer. Unless otherwise specified in the terms and conditions of a Trial Subscription offer, you are limited to one (1) Trial Subscription, and the determination of whether you have used a Trial Subscription may be made by Starz or Distributor, each in its sole discretion. When you subscribe to a Trial Subscription, you must provide Starz or Distributor with a valid Payment Method. Your Payment Method will not be charged by Starz or Distributor during the Trial Subscription period. IF YOU DO NOT CANCEL THE TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO ITS EXPIRATION, THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE FOR THE SERVICE WILL BE CHARGED TO YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WHEN THE TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION EXPIRES. YOU AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER STARZ NOR DISTRIBUTOR IS OBLIGATED TO NOTIFY YOU THAT YOUR TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION WILL END OR HAS ENDED. IF YOU WISH TO AVOID CHARGES TO YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT EASTERN TIME ON THE LAST DAY OF YOUR TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION. To find additional details about your Trial Subscription, including the date the Trial Subscription ends, please visit "Settings" in the Service if you subscribed via starz.com or review your account information provided by your Distributor if your Subscription is with a Distributor. As a condition of these Terms of Use, you agree not to register multiple STARZ Accounts for the same promotional offer using multiple names, addresses, email addresses, or other means. Any such action will constitute a violation of these Terms of Use and may result in the termination of your STARZ Account. From time to time, we may make Subscription plans available to you on a discounted basis or in conjunction with a promotion ("Promotional Offer"). Promotional Offers may take a variety of forms and may be available on a standalone basis or provided as part of a bundle with other products or services. In the event you take advantage of a new/subsequent Promotional Offer after you subscribe, no refunds or price adjustments will be applied to your Subscription Fee. Requirements for a Promotional Offer will be stated at the time it is presented.

25. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION, CLASS-ACTION WAIVER, JURY WAIVER

25.1 Disputes. The terms of this Section 25 shall apply to all Disputes between you and Starz. For the purposes of this Section, "Dispute" shall mean any dispute, claim, controversy or action between you and Starz arising under or relating to your use of the Platform, these Terms of Use, or any other transaction involving you and Starz, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, and shall be interpreted to be given the broadest meaning allowable under law. YOU AND STARZ AGREE THAT "DISPUTE" AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU OR STARZ FOR: (1) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION; (2) PATENT INFRINGEMENT; (3) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE; OR (4) TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR DILUTION.

25.2 Binding Arbitration. You and Starz agree: (1) to arbitrate all Disputes between you and Starz pursuant to the provision of these Terms of Use; (2) these Terms of Use memorialize a transaction in interstate commerce; (3) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. subs 1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section (notwithstanding the choice-of-law provision contained herein); and (4) this Section shall survive termination in these Terms of Use. For any action allowed to proceed in court, or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the Parties agree to exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in (i) the State courts of Los Angeles county, California or (ii) the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

25.2.1 Dispute Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you or Starz must first send to the other party a notice of the Dispute that shall include a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the "Dispute Notice"). The Dispute Notice to Starz must be addressed to Starz Entertainment, LLC, 1647 Stewart St, Santa Monica, CA 90404 ("Starz Notice Address"). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent by certified mail to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you, or via email if we do not have any such address on file. Following submission and receipt of the Dispute Notice, each party agrees to act in good faith to seek to resolve the Dispute before proceeding to arbitration. The parties will work in good faith to resolve the Dispute for 60 days after a complete Dispute Notice is received. Arbitration may not be initiated until this informal process concludes.
25.2.2 Pre-Arbitration Conference. During the 60-day good faith negotiation period, we will meet via telephone or videoconference, in a good-faith effort to confer with each other and try to informally resolve the Dispute. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference as well, but you agree to fully participate in the conference personally. Likewise, if we are represented by counsel, our counsel may participate in the conference as well, but we agree to have a company representative fully participate in the conference. Any statute of limitation relevant to a Dispute under applicable law shall be tolled from the date of receipt of a completed Dispute Notice, through and including the foregoing negotiation period, and continuing until final resolution of any arbitration proceeding, unless the party providing the Notice withdraws or abandons the Dispute at any point, or the arbitration proceeding is withdrawn or dismissed. Failure to complete the requirements of the 60-day good faith negotiation period is grounds for dismissal of any arbitration proceeding.
25.2.3 Initiation of Arbitration. Any Dispute that the parties cannot resolve through the 60-day good faith negotiation period must be brought on an individual basis and will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration ("Arbitration") before an arbitrator mutually selected by the Parties (the "Arbitrator). You may initiate an Arbitration by sending a demand that includes all of the information required in the Notice to the Starz Notice Address. The parties will meet and confer in good faith to select an Arbitrator and applicable fee schedule subject to Section 25.6 herein. The Arbitrator must have experience with the subject matter of the Dispute. For purposes of this Section, good-faith meet-and-confer efforts require that each party propose at least three arbitrators who meet the qualifications described in this Agreement. If, after 60 days of good faith meet and confer efforts, the Parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, either Party may petition the state or federal courts in the county and state where you reside, to appoint an arbitrator meeting the requirements herein from the arbitrators proposed by the parties.
25.2.4 Arbitration Fees. You shall not be required to pay a filing fee greater than the then-current fee to file a civil complaint in federal court. Except as otherwise provided by law or this Section 25, each party bears its own attorneys' fees and costs. If the Arbitrator finds that the costs and fees of an Arbitration you initiate will be prohibitive for you as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your filing, arbitrator, and hearing fees in the Arbitration as the Arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the Arbitration from being cost prohibitive, regardless of the outcome of the Arbitration. However, if the Arbitrator finds that your Dispute was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), you shall reimburse us for any fees and costs that were advanced by us on your behalf. You may hire an attorney to represent you in Arbitration. You may only recover your attorneys' fees and costs in the Arbitration if (i) the Arbitration is decided in your favor and to the extent that you could have recovered those fees in court in accordance with the law or statute(s) that apply to the case or (ii) the Arbitrator finds that any Dispute we bring against you was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). Notwithstanding anything in this Arbitration Agreement to the contrary, we will pay all fees and costs that we are required by law to pay.
25.2.5 Arbitration Procedure. Any arbitration under this Arbitration Provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Arbitrations shall be administered pursuant to the most recent version of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") Consumer Arbitration Rules and Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules (the "AAA Rules"), with the exclusion of any associated fee schedules and as modified by the version of this arbitration provision that is in effect when you notify us about your Dispute, unless the parties mutually agree to use an arbitration provider other than the AAA. The selection of the AAA Rules is meant to govern procedural issues only, and such selection does not mean that AAA will administer the Arbitration or appoint the Arbitrator. You can obtain the AAA Rules from the AAA by visiting its website (www.adr.org). If there is a conflict between this arbitration provision and the rest of these Terms, this arbitration provision shall govern. If there is a conflict between this arbitration provision and the AAA Rules, this arbitration provision shall govern. A single Arbitrator will resolve the Dispute. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any Arbitration hearing will take place at a location convenient to you in the in the county where you reside when you notify us of your Dispute. The parties may mutually agree that the Arbitration be conducted via electronic or telephonic means, including via the submission of documents only through a desk Arbitration as described in the AAA Rules. The Arbitrator will honor claims of privilege recognized by law and will take reasonable steps to protect other confidential or proprietary information. The Arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision that explains the Arbitrator's essential findings and conclusions. The Arbitrator's award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties only if necessary for purposes of enforcing the Arbitrator's award. An Arbitrator's award that has been fully satisfied shall not be entered in any court.

25.3 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state, municipality, province, or territory if the action is within that court's jurisdiction and is pending only in that court; provided, however, that you must first satisfy the Dispute Notice and Pre-Arbitration Conference requirements of Sections 25.2.1 and 25.2.2 above before bringing such an action,.

25.4 WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND STARZ AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, YOU AND STARZ AGREE THAT NO DISPUTE SHALL PROCEED BY WAY OF CLASS ARBITRATION WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES.

25.5 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. WHETHER ANY DISPUTE IS RESOLVED IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND STARZ EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RELATION TO THE DISPUTE.

25.6 Opt-Out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in these Terms of Use by sending a written letter to Starz at Starz Entertainment, LLC, 1647 Stewart St, Santa Monica, CA 90404 within thirty (30) calendar days of your initial agreement to these Terms of Use (including your first use of the Platform).

If you affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Section as stated in these Terms of Use, without any of the proposed amendments governing. If you do not affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you will be deemed to have consented to any such future amendments.

25.8 Severability. If any provision in this Section is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed with the remainder of these Terms of Use remaining in full force and effect. The terms of this Section shall otherwise survive any termination of these Terms of Use.

25.9 Exclusive Venue for Other Controversies. Starz and you agree that any controversy excluded from the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions in this Section (other than an individual action filed in small claims court) shall be filed only in the courts located within the State of California, County of Los Angeles, and each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for any such controversy.
