DownloadTable of Contents
This user agreement governs your purchase and/or use of products and services offered by TiVo Platform Technologies LLC (“TiVo” or “we” or “us”) (including but not limited to TiVo devices, TiVo+, mobile applications, and websites). BY CLICKING ON “I AGREE” OR SIMILAR BUTTON, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO THIS AGREEMENT.
A few things to note:
- When we refer to a “TiVo Product” in this policy, we mean any device, software, or website offered by TiVo (including but not limited to TiVo DVRs, TiVo Minis, the TiVo Stream, the TiVo Stream 4K, TiVo software applications, and TiVo Online (online.tivo.com)).
- When we refer to a “TiVo Service” in this policy, we mean any service offered by TiVo, including but not limited to “TiVo+” (also known as “TiVo Plus”), that enables you to access certain programming and other content (“Content”) and related third-party applications and services.
- When we say “you” in this policy, we mean both you and any other individuals you let use your TiVo Product or TiVo Service.
- TiVo Products and TiVo Services provided to you directly by your cable or satellite provider are subject to their terms of use (and not this Agreement).
Accounts
To create an account with us, you must be (1) a resident of the continental United States, Alaska, or Hawaii; (2) the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and (3) creating an account for yourself (and not for a business or entity). You are responsible for all charges on your account, so we suggest picking a strong password and not sharing it with others.
Use of TiVo Products and TiVo Services
TiVo Products and TiVo Services are intended for your personal, non-public, and non-commercial use.
TiVo grants you a personal, non-commercial, and non-exclusive license to (1) access and use our websites, (2) install and use our software applications on devices that you own or control, (3) use software that is embedded in (or downloaded to) TiVo hardware products, and (4) access and use TiVo Services and our other hosted services using authorized TiVo Products.
In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement, TiVo reserves the right to modify or terminate your account, any granted licenses, or access to any TiVo Product or TiVo Service if, in TiVo’s determination, you are violating this agreement or any laws, regulations, or court or governmental orders, or engaging in behavior towards any TiVo customer, employee or other third party that is abusive, harassing, inappropriate, or demeaning as determined by TiVo in its sole discretion.
Features and functionality are subject to change. We reserve the right to determine the timing and content of software updates, which may be automatically downloaded and installed by TiVo Products without prior notice to you. We also reserve the right to designate products as End of Life or Maintenance of Life in our sole discretion as described in our TiVo Product Lifecycle and End of Life and Maintenance of Life Notices, which can be found at tivo.com/legal.
Some notes about your use of TiVo Products and TiVo Services:
- Some TiVo Products require a subscription to the TiVo service (“TiVo Service Subscription”), seeTiVo Service Subscriptionsbelow for details.
- Some cable providers do not support CableCARDs, which may be required for TiVo Services. We recommend that you check with your cable provider to confirm your provider supports CableCARDs and TiVo Services before purchasing any TiVo Products or Services.

- You are responsible for any charges related to your use of a TiVo Product or TiVo Service (such as charges for broadband Internet, wireless data, or pay-per-view content), so be careful if you give others access to the remote or your account password.
- Some TiVo Products have enhanced functionality based upon third-party applications or services which may require a separate subscription payment to a third-party. In some instances, these charges will be managed by TiVo, but your account, account terms and conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party irrespective of whether TiVo manages the payments on your behalf.
If a TiVo Product or TiVo Service supports voice services, certain compatible voice remotes allow you to use your voice to control functionality (e.g., search for content, switch inputs, launch channels, launch program guide). When you choose to use your voice to use or control a TiVo Product or TiVo Service, you agree that TiVo and third parties who fulfill your requests and/or provide services for TiVo have your consent to record, process, and store your voice inputs (e.g., a recording and the interpretation of what was said), and use such voice inputs with other information about your use of the TiVo Product or TiVo Service (e.g., device identifier) to provide services to you, to improve the accuracy and quality of the TiVo Product or TiVo Service, and as further described in TiVo’s Privacy Policy.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 12 TiVo set-top boxes (DVRs or TiVo Minis) and 10 TiVo soft devices (“TiVo soft devices” are the TiVo Stream 4K or TiVo mobile application per device) on the same tivo.com account.

In any case, you agree to immediately stop accessing or using in any way (or attempting to access or use) the TiVo Product or TiVo Service, and you agree not to circumvent, avoid, or bypass such restrictions, or otherwise restore or attempt to restore such access or use.
TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo Products require a TiVo Service Subscription. We currently offer three TiVo Service Subscription plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (Please note: the All-In Plan replaced the Product Lifetime Service subscription offered in prior versions of this agreement.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby the TiVo Service Subscription is explicitly (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo Product (for example, a TiVo Service Subscription is included as part of the purchase price of a TiVo Mini) or (2) shared between or among more than one TiVo Product, a separate TiVo Service Subscription is required for each TiVo Product. Visit tivo.com for current rates and offers.
Some notes about TiVo Service Subscriptions:
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of any TiVo Product or TiVo Service.
- Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other recurring) TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, your TiVo Service Subscription automatically will renew (on a month-to-month basis for a monthly TiVo Service Subscription, or on a year-to-year basis for an annual TiVo Service Subscription, or such other periodic term as designated in your subscription) at the end of each subscription term, at the same TiVo Service Subscription fee (even if you are not using the TiVo device or it has been lost, sold, or otherwise transferred).
- Monthly, annual, or other periodic TiVo Service Subscriptions may not be transferred to another TiVo device or subscriber.
- With a new All-In Plan subscription: (a) you pay just once (rather than monthly, annually, or in some other frequency) for your TiVo Service Subscription, (b) your subscription lasts for as long as your TiVo device is operational (or until TiVo discontinues support for your device, whichever comes first), and (c) you cannot transfer your subscription to another TiVo device (except in cases of warranty repair or replacement under applicable warranty terms).
- An All-In Plan subscription accompanies the TiVo device in case of ownership transfer.
- With an All-In Plan, you receive those TiVo Service Subscription features that we make generally available to all customers who have activated a TiVo Service Subscription for that same TiVo Product, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. You may incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo Service Subscription. In addition, TiVo reserves the right to subsequently release, and to charge separate amounts for, new features or functionality that are not made generally available to all customers who have activated a TiVo Service Subscription on a particular TiVo Product.
- Although we strive to make the TiVo Service Subscription available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).
Early Termination Fees We sometimes offer discounted rates for TiVo Products and/or TiVo Service Subscriptions when you agree to subscribe to the TiVo Service Subscription for a minimum commitment term (such as 1 year). If you cancel your subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription before the end of your minimum commitment term, you agree to pay us the applicable early termination fee (unless you cancel during our 30-day money-back guarantee period). |
TiVo Stream 4K Service
- TiVo Stream 4K service features will include those that we make generally available to all customers who have purchased a TiVo Stream 4K device, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. There is not an ongoing monthly or annual service subscription charge for the TiVo Stream 4K service. However, many of the functionalities of TiVo Stream 4K are based upon third-party subscription services and you will incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo Stream 4K service. Even if some of these third-party charges may be managed by TiVo on your behalf, your account, account terms, conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party and such third-party services are not part of the TiVo Stream 4K service.
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of the TiVo Stream 4K product.
- Service to TiVo Stream 4K devices is provided at the sole discretion of TiVo. No upgrades are guaranteed as part of the TiVo Stream 4K device. Although we strive to make TiVo Stream 4K service available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).

You will not infer or assume that TiVo endorses, operates, controls, is responsible for or is connected with these or other third-party content, application, services or destinations, even if they link to TiVo+ and even if such applications, services or destinations are operated by a person (including a legal entity) affiliated or otherwise connected with TiVo.

These offers and promotions may require purchases or participation in surveys, and may be subject to separate and additional terms and conditions governing your participation and eligibility for any such programs. TiVo is not responsible or liable for any claims, damages, losses or injuries arising from your interactions with such third parties.
Advertisements: TiVo takes no responsibility for advertisements or any third-party material displayed on TiVo+, nor does it take any responsibility for the products or services provided by advertisers. Any dealings you have with advertisers found while using TiVo+ is between you and the advertiser, and you agree that TiVo is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against an advertiser.
Age Restrictions: TiVo+ is not intended to be used by children without involvement and approval of a parent or guardian. If you are under the age of 13, you are not permitted to use TiVo+ without the consent of your parent or guardian, in which case your parent or guardian consents to these terms on your behalf. Access to Content may be restricted due to age appropriateness. Accessing TiVo+ and/or the Content from territories where TiVo does not offer TiVo+ is prohibited.
Suspension/Discontinuation: We may change, suspend, or discontinue — temporarily or permanently — some or all of TiVo+ (including the Content and the devices through which TiVo+ is accessed), with respect to any or all users, at any time without notice. You acknowledge that TiVo may do so in TiVo’s sole discretion. You also agree that TiVo will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of TiVo+.

We will also send you an email confirming your order only once your order ships (which is when we will charge your credit card).

Returns
We only accept returns for refunds within 30 days of purchase from www.tivo.com. Products purchased through third-party retailers must be returned to the third party in accordance with their respective returns and refunds policy.
Limited Warranties
TiVo hardware products (including TiVo DVRs, TiVo Stream 4K, and TiVo Minis) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal. TiVo makes changes to the limited warranty from time to time so you should review the applicable terms on our website before completing your purchase. We do not offer warranties on third-party products sold on tivo.com, but contact the manufacturer directly to inquire whether they offer any warranty or if you have any questions or concerns.
Payment Terms
When you provide credit card information to us, you represent that you are the authorized user of the card and agree to notify us of any changes to the relevant account number, expiration date, and billing address, or if the card expires or is canceled. You agree that we may receive updated credit card information (such as a new expiration date) from your credit card issuer.
We will charge your credit card (as applicable) when (a) your order ships, (b) on each billing date for your TiVo Service Subscription or third-party applications or services you authorize us to bill on your behalf, (c) when you authorize purchases through your TiVo devices including third-party applications and services that enable TiVo to bill on your behalf, (d) at the time of purchase for third-party applications and services, and (e) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees including where applicable such fees associated with third parties we are billing on your behalf. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy. If you believe that there is an inaccuracy, you have 90-days to notify TiVo. If you do not contact TiVo within 90 days of the disputed billing date, TiVo will not be responsible for any billing errors. In the event the dispute is based on a charge or fee that TiVo is billing on your behalf to a third party, you must contact the third-party merchant directly to dispute any charges. TiVo is not authorized to negotiate these disputes on your behalf.
For subscriptions or fees, including all recurring third-party applications or services that you authorize us to bill on your behalf, your TiVo Service Subscription (unless you have an All-In Plan subscription) or applicable recurring third-party service or application fees (“Third Party Recurring Fee”) will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic TiVo Service Subscription fee (as applicable). You hereby authorize us to automatically charge any subscription fee or Third Party Recurring Fee to your credit card each billing date until you (i) cancel your TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, and/or (ii) cancel any third-party applications in accordance with the applicable Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms. Please note, such payment terms may differ for each third-party application, so unless you are able to access this feature in your tivo.com account, you will need to contact the third-party provider of such services for details on cancellation. Regardless of the type or length of your TiVo Service Subscription, subscription fees paid prior to cancellation are nonrefundable in any amount (subject only to our30-day Money Back Guarantee). Terms and conditions for Third Party Recurring Fees are not governed by TiVo, please contact the third party for details.
Some notes about payments:
- By subscribing to the TiVo Service Subscription or Third-Party Recurring Fee, you authorize us to charge the applicable TiVo Service Subscription fees or third-party fees (and any other applicable fees, such as an early termination fee) to your credit card on file.
- If your credit card reaches its expiration date and you have not updated your payment information with us or cancelled your account, you authorize us to continue billing your credit card and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
- Each charge on the applicable billing date applies to the period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly TiVo Service Subscription in January is for the TiVo Service Subscription for the month of February). Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms may differ – please contact the third-party provider of such services for details.
- Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some jurisdictions, the tax will be based on the MSRP for the product (and not the discounted price you paid).
- All prices on tivo.com are listed in U.S. Dollars.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription without notice if your credit card is rejected or if your card issuer seeks the return of payments previously made to us. You agree to pay (i) any outstanding balance in full within 30 days of cancellation, and (ii) a late charge on all amounts more than 30 days past due. The late charge will be 1.5% of the past due amount or the highest rate allowed by law (whichever is less) per month. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal right or remedies available to TiVo. These conditions may apply to Third Party Recurring Fees, please contact the third-party application or service provider for details.

You may cancel your account or a subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. Cancellation will not entitle you to any refund (including of any subscription fees) and may be subject to an early termination fee in some cases (see the “Early Termination Fees” section for more details).

You acknowledge that cancelling your account or subscription may cause your TiVo Products or TiVo Services to no longer function.
Changes to this Agreement
We need the flexibility to update this agreement from time to time as our business changes. If we make changes that restrict your rights, we will notify you at least 15 days in advance (to give you time to review the changes and cancel your account if you do not want to be bound by the revised version, although we certainly hope you do not cancel your account). By continuing to use TiVo Products and/or TiVo Services after changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised version of this Agreement.

Waiver: No waiver of any term or breach of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other term or breach.
Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, such unenforceability will not render this agreement unenforceable and, in such event, such provision is to be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable provision within the limits of applicable law.

This user agreement governs your purchase and/or use of products and services offered by TiVo Platform Technologies LLC (“TiVo” or “we” or “us”) (including but not limited to TiVo devices, TiVo+, mobile applications, and websites). BY CLICKING ON “I AGREE” OR SIMILAR BUTTON, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO THIS AGREEMENT.
A few things to note:
- When we refer to a “TiVo Product” in this policy, we mean any device, software, or website offered by TiVo (including but not limited to TiVo DVRs, TiVo Minis, the TiVo Stream, the TiVo Stream 4K, TiVo software applications, and TiVo Online (online.tivo.com)).
- When we refer to a “TiVo Service” in this policy, we mean any service offered by TiVo, including but not limited to “TiVo+” (also known as “TiVo Plus”), that enables you to access certain programming and other content (“Content”) and related third-party applications and services.
- When we say “you” in this policy, we mean both you and any other individuals you let use your TiVo Product or TiVo Service.
- TiVo Products and TiVo Services provided to you directly by your cable or satellite provider are subject to their terms of use (and not this Agreement).
Accounts
To create an account with us, you must be (1) a resident of the continental United States, Alaska, or Hawaii; (2) the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and (3) creating an account for yourself (and not for a business or entity). You are responsible for all charges on your account, so we suggest picking a strong password and not sharing it with others.
Use of TiVo Products and TiVo Services
TiVo Products and TiVo Services are intended for your personal, non-public, and non-commercial use.
TiVo grants you a personal, non-commercial, and non-exclusive license to (1) access and use our websites, (2) install and use our software applications on devices that you own or control, (3) use software that is embedded in (or downloaded to) TiVo hardware products, and (4) access and use TiVo Services and our other hosted services using authorized TiVo Products.
In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement, TiVo reserves the right to modify or terminate your account, any granted licenses, or access to any TiVo Product or TiVo Service if, in TiVo’s determination, you are violating this agreement or any laws, regulations, or court or governmental orders, or engaging in behavior towards any TiVo customer, employee or other third party that is abusive, harassing, inappropriate, or demeaning as determined by TiVo in its sole discretion.
Features and functionality are subject to change. We reserve the right to determine the timing and content of software updates, which may be automatically downloaded and installed by TiVo Products without prior notice to you. We also reserve the right to designate products as End of Life or Maintenance of Life in our sole discretion as described in our TiVo Product Lifecycle and End of Life and Maintenance of Life Notices, which can be found at tivo.com/legal.
Some notes about your use of TiVo Products and TiVo Services:
- Some TiVo Products require a subscription to the TiVo service (“TiVo Service Subscription”), seeTiVo Service Subscriptionsbelow for details.
- Some cable providers do not support CableCARDs, which may be required for TiVo Services. We recommend that you check with your cable provider to confirm your provider supports CableCARDs and TiVo Services before purchasing any TiVo Products or Services.
- OurPrivacy Policygoverns the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.
- We do not endorse or warrant the performance of any third-party applications or advertised third-party products or services that may be accessible through or in included in TiVo Products or TiVo Services.
- Your use of third-party applications is subject to the terms of use and privacy policy of the application provider (which we suggest you read).
- You are responsible for any charges related to your use of a TiVo Product or TiVo Service (such as charges for broadband Internet, wireless data, or pay-per-view content), so be careful if you give others access to the remote or your account password.
- Some TiVo Products have enhanced functionality based upon third-party applications or services which may require a separate subscription payment to a third-party. In some instances, these charges will be managed by TiVo, but your account, account terms and conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party irrespective of whether TiVo manages the payments on your behalf.
If a TiVo Product or TiVo Service supports voice services, certain compatible voice remotes allow you to use your voice to control functionality (e.g., search for content, switch inputs, launch channels, launch program guide). When you choose to use your voice to use or control a TiVo Product or TiVo Service, you agree that TiVo and third parties who fulfill your requests and/or provide services for TiVo have your consent to record, process, and store your voice inputs (e.g., a recording and the interpretation of what was said), and use such voice inputs with other information about your use of the TiVo Product or TiVo Service (e.g., device identifier) to provide services to you, to improve the accuracy and quality of the TiVo Product or TiVo Service, and as further described in TiVo’s Privacy Policy.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 12 TiVo set-top boxes (DVRs or TiVo Minis) and 10 TiVo soft devices (“TiVo soft devices” are the TiVo Stream 4K or TiVo mobile application per device) on the same tivo.com account.
Some TiVo DVRs may let you stream or download recorded content to your mobile devices. The following restrictions apply to streaming or downloading recorded content from a TiVo DVR:
- You may sync a maximum number of 10 mobile devices.
- You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (i.e., no using your neighbor’s iPad).
Due to the copy protection assigned by the content provider, not all recorded content can be downloaded, and some recorded content can only be streamed and/or downloaded while your mobile device is on the same local network as your TiVo DVR. Terms and conditions of any cloud-based DVR services that may be available via third parties (such as your service provider or third-party subscription service) are governed by the terms of service with that provider and not TiVo.

TiVo Products or TiVo Services may have features that include geo-fencing or other geographic restrictions on use. You may not attempt to subvert these geographic restrictions.
We have the right to investigate violations of this Agreement or conduct that affects any TiVo Products or TiVo Services. We may also consult and cooperate with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the law.
If TiVo determines in its sole discretion that you are violating any term or condition of this Agreement, we may (i) notify you, (ii) use technical measures to block or restrict your access to or use of a TiVo Product or TiVo Service, and/or (iii) use any other available legal or equitable remedy. In any case, you agree to immediately stop accessing or using in any way (or attempting to access or use) the TiVo Product or TiVo Service, and you agree not to circumvent, avoid, or bypass such restrictions, or otherwise restore or attempt to restore such access or use.
Certain TiVo Products require a TiVo Service Subscription. We currently offer three TiVo Service Subscription plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (Please note: the All-In Plan replaced the Product Lifetime Service subscription offered in prior versions of this agreement.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby the TiVo Service Subscription is explicitly (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo Product (for example, a TiVo Service Subscription is included as part of the purchase price of a TiVo Mini) or (2) shared between or among more than one TiVo Product, a separate TiVo Service Subscription is required for each TiVo Product. Visit tivo.com for current rates and offers.
Some notes about TiVo Service Subscriptions:
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of any TiVo Product or TiVo Service.
- Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other recurring) TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, your TiVo Service Subscription automatically will renew (on a month-to-month basis for a monthly TiVo Service Subscription, or on a year-to-year basis for an annual TiVo Service Subscription, or such other periodic term as designated in your subscription) at the end of each subscription term, at the same TiVo Service Subscription fee (even if you are not using the TiVo device or it has been lost, sold, or otherwise transferred).
- Monthly, annual, or other periodic TiVo Service Subscriptions may not be transferred to another TiVo device or subscriber.
- With a new All-In Plan subscription: (a) you pay just once (rather than monthly, annually, or in some other frequency) for your TiVo Service Subscription, (b) your subscription lasts for as long as your TiVo device is operational (or until TiVo discontinues support for your device, whichever comes first), and (c) you cannot transfer your subscription to another TiVo device (except in cases of warranty repair or replacement under applicable warranty terms).
- An All-In Plan subscription accompanies the TiVo device in case of ownership transfer.
- With an All-In Plan, you receive those TiVo Service Subscription features that we make generally available to all customers who have activated a TiVo Service Subscription for that same TiVo Product, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. You may incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo Service Subscription. In addition, TiVo reserves the right to subsequently release, and to charge separate amounts for, new features or functionality that are not made generally available to all customers who have activated a TiVo Service Subscription on a particular TiVo Product.
- Although we strive to make the TiVo Service Subscription available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).
Early Termination Fees We sometimes offer discounted rates for TiVo Products and/or TiVo Service Subscriptions when you agree to subscribe to the TiVo Service Subscription for a minimum commitment term (such as 1 year). If you cancel your subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription before the end of your minimum commitment term, you agree to pay us the applicable early termination fee (unless you cancel during our 30-day money-back guarantee period). |
TiVo Stream 4K Service
- TiVo Stream 4K service features will include those that we make generally available to all customers who have purchased a TiVo Stream 4K device, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. There is not an ongoing monthly or annual service subscription charge for the TiVo Stream 4K service. However, many of the functionalities of TiVo Stream 4K are based upon third-party subscription services and you will incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo Stream 4K service. Even if some of these third-party charges may be managed by TiVo on your behalf, your account, account terms, conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party and such third-party services are not part of the TiVo Stream 4K service.
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of the TiVo Stream 4K product.
- Service to TiVo Stream 4K devices is provided at the sole discretion of TiVo. No upgrades are guaranteed as part of the TiVo Stream 4K device. Although we strive to make TiVo Stream 4K service available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).

You will not infer or assume that TiVo endorses, operates, controls, is responsible for or is connected with these or other third-party content, application, services or destinations, even if they link to TiVo+ and even if such applications, services or destinations are operated by a person (including a legal entity) affiliated or otherwise connected with TiVo. TiVo provides these links only as a convenience and is not responsible for the content, products or services on or available from those applications, services or destinations or links displayed on such destinations.

Optional Offers, Promotions and Features: We may offer or facilitate third-party offers for you to participate in, including special offers such as rebates, coupons or other discount programs, as well as promotions such as contests or sweepstakes on TiVo+ or via third-party platforms. These offers and promotions may require purchases or participation in surveys, and may be subject to separate and additional terms and conditions governing your participation and eligibility for any such programs. TiVo is not responsible or liable for any claims, damages, losses or injuries arising from your interactions with such third parties.
Advertisements: TiVo takes no responsibility for advertisements or any third-party material displayed on TiVo+, nor does it take any responsibility for the products or services provided by advertisers. Any dealings you have with advertisers found while using TiVo+ is between you and the advertiser, and you agree that TiVo is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against an advertiser.
Age Restrictions: TiVo+ is not intended to be used by children without involvement and approval of a parent or guardian. If you are under the age of 13, you are not permitted to use TiVo+ without the consent of your parent or guardian, in which case your parent or guardian consents to these terms on your behalf. Access to Content may be restricted due to age appropriateness. Accessing TiVo+ and/or the Content from territories where TiVo does not offer TiVo+ is prohibited.
Suspension/Discontinuation: We may change, suspend, or discontinue — temporarily or permanently — some or all of TiVo+ (including the Content and the devices through which TiVo+ is accessed), with respect to any or all users, at any time without notice. You acknowledge that TiVo may do so in TiVo’s sole discretion. You also agree that TiVo will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of TiVo+.

Returns
We only accept returns for refunds within 30 days of purchase from www.tivo.com. Products purchased through third-party retailers must be returned to the third party in accordance with their respective returns and refunds policy.
Limited Warranties
TiVo hardware products (including TiVo DVRs, TiVo Stream 4K, and TiVo Minis) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available attivo.com/legal. TiVo makes changes to the limited warranty from time to time so you should review the applicable terms on our website before completing your purchase. We do not offer warranties on third-party products sold on tivo.com, but contact the manufacturer directly to inquire whether they offer any warranty or if you have any questions or concerns.
Payment Terms
When you provide credit card information to us, you represent that you are the authorized user of the card and agree to notify us of any changes to the relevant account number, expiration date, and billing address, or if the card expires or is canceled. You agree that we may receive updated credit card information (such as a new expiration date) from your credit card issuer.
We will charge your credit card (as applicable) when (a) your order ships, (b) on each billing date for your TiVo Service Subscription or third-party applications or services you authorize us to bill on your behalf, (c) when you authorize purchases through your TiVo devices including third-party applications and services that enable TiVo to bill on your behalf, (d) at the time of purchase for third-party applications and services, and (e) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees including where applicable such fees associated with third parties we are billing on your behalf. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy. If you believe that there is an inaccuracy, you have 90-days to notify TiVo. If you do not contact TiVo within 90 days of the disputed billing date, TiVo will not be responsible for any billing errors. In the event the dispute is based on a charge or fee that TiVo is billing on your behalf to a third party, you must contact the third-party merchant directly to dispute any charges. TiVo is not authorized to negotiate these disputes on your behalf.
For subscriptions or fees, including all recurring third-party applications or services that you authorize us to bill on your behalf, your TiVo Service Subscription (unless you have an All-In Plan subscription) or applicable recurring third-party service or application fees (“Third Party Recurring Fee”) will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic TiVo Service Subscription fee (as applicable). You hereby authorize us to automatically charge any subscription fee or Third Party Recurring Fee to your credit card each billing date until you (i) cancel your TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, and/or (ii) cancel any third-party applications in accordance with the applicable Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms. Please note, such payment terms may differ for each third-party application, so unless you are able to access this feature in your tivo.com account, you will need to contact the third-party provider of such services for details on cancellation. Regardless of the type or length of your TiVo Service Subscription, subscription fees paid prior to cancellation are nonrefundable in any amount (subject only to our30-day Money Back Guarantee). Terms and conditions for Third Party Recurring Fees are not governed by TiVo, please contact the third party for details.
Some notes about payments:
- By subscribing to the TiVo Service Subscription or Third-Party Recurring Fee, you authorize us to charge the applicable TiVo Service Subscription fees or third-party fees (and any other applicable fees, such as an early termination fee) to your credit card on file.
- If your credit card reaches its expiration date and you have not updated your payment information with us or cancelled your account, you authorize us to continue billing your credit card and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
- Each charge on the applicable billing date applies to the period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly TiVo Service Subscription in January is for the TiVo Service Subscription for the month of February). Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms may differ – please contact the third-party provider of such services for details.
- Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some jurisdictions, the tax will be based on the MSRP for the product (and not the discounted price you paid).
- All prices on tivo.com are listed in U.S. Dollars.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription without notice if your credit card is rejected or if your card issuer seeks the return of payments previously made to us. You agree to pay (i) any outstanding balance in full within 30 days of cancellation, and (ii) a late charge on all amounts more than 30 days past due. The late charge will be 1.5% of the past due amount or the highest rate allowed by law (whichever is less) per month. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal right or remedies available to TiVo. These conditions may apply to Third Party Recurring Fees, please contact the third-party application or service provider for details.

Some notes about your use of TiVo Products and TiVo Services:
- Some TiVo Products require a subscription to the TiVo service (“TiVo Service Subscription”), seeTiVo Service Subscriptionsbelow for details.

- Some TiVo Products have enhanced functionality based upon third-party applications or services which may require a separate subscription payment to a third-party. In some instances, these charges will be managed by TiVo, but your account, account terms and conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party irrespective of whether TiVo manages the payments on your behalf.
If a TiVo Product or TiVo Service supports voice services, certain compatible voice remotes allow you to use your voice to control functionality (e.g., search for content, switch inputs, launch channels, launch program guide). When you choose to use your voice to use or control a TiVo Product or TiVo Service, you agree that TiVo and third parties who fulfill your requests and/or provide services for TiVo have your consent to record, process, and store your voice inputs (e.g., a recording and the interpretation of what was said), and use such voice inputs with other information about your use of the TiVo Product or TiVo Service (e.g., device identifier) to provide services to you, to improve the accuracy and quality of the TiVo Product or TiVo Service, and as further described in TiVo’s Privacy Policy.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 12 TiVo set-top boxes (DVRs or TiVo Minis) and 10 TiVo soft devices (“TiVo soft devices” are the TiVo Stream 4K or TiVo mobile application per device) on the same tivo.com account.

Terms and conditions of any cloud-based DVR services that may be available via third parties (such as your service provider or third-party subscription service) are governed by the terms of service with that provider and not TiVo.

Certain TiVo Products require a TiVo Service Subscription. We currently offer three TiVo Service Subscription plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (Please note: the All-In Plan replaced the Product Lifetime Service subscription offered in prior versions of this agreement.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby the TiVo Service Subscription is explicitly (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo Product (for example, a TiVo Service Subscription is included as part of the purchase price of a TiVo Mini) or (2) shared between or among more than one TiVo Product, a separate TiVo Service Subscription is required for each TiVo Product. Visit tivo.com for current rates and offers.
Some notes about TiVo Service Subscriptions:
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of any TiVo Product or TiVo Service.
- Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other recurring) TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, your TiVo Service Subscription automatically will renew (on a month-to-month basis for a monthly TiVo Service Subscription, or on a year-to-year basis for an annual TiVo Service Subscription, or such other periodic term as designated in your subscription) at the end of each subscription term, at the same TiVo Service Subscription fee (even if you are not using the TiVo device or it has been lost, sold, or otherwise transferred).
- Monthly, annual, or other periodic TiVo Service Subscriptions may not be transferred to another TiVo device or subscriber.
- With a new All-In Plan subscription: (a) you pay just once (rather than monthly, annually, or in some other frequency) for your TiVo Service Subscription, (b) your subscription lasts for as long as your TiVo device is operational (or until TiVo discontinues support for your device, whichever comes first), and (c) you cannot transfer your subscription to another TiVo device (except in cases of warranty repair or replacement under applicable warranty terms).
- An All-In Plan subscription accompanies the TiVo device in case of ownership transfer.
- With an All-In Plan, you receive those TiVo Service Subscription features that we make generally available to all customers who have activated a TiVo Service Subscription for that same TiVo Product, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. You may incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo Service Subscription. In addition, TiVo reserves the right to subsequently release, and to charge separate amounts for, new features or functionality that are not made generally available to all customers who have activated a TiVo Service Subscription on a particular TiVo Product.
- Although we strive to make the TiVo Service Subscription available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).
Early Termination Fees We sometimes offer discounted rates for TiVo Products and/or TiVo Service Subscriptions when you agree to subscribe to the TiVo Service Subscription for a minimum commitment term (such as 1 year). If you cancel your subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription before the end of your minimum commitment term, you agree to pay us the applicable early termination fee (unless you cancel during our 30-day money-back guarantee period). |
TiVo Stream 4K Service
- TiVo Stream 4K service features will include those that we make generally available to all customers who have purchased a TiVo Stream 4K device, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. There is not an ongoing monthly or annual service subscription charge for the TiVo Stream 4K service. However, many of the functionalities of TiVo Stream 4K are based upon third-party subscription services and you will incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo Stream 4K service. Even if some of these third-party charges may be managed by TiVo on your behalf, your account, account terms, conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party and such third-party services are not part of the TiVo Stream 4K service.
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of the TiVo Stream 4K product.
- Service to TiVo Stream 4K devices is provided at the sole discretion of TiVo. No upgrades are guaranteed as part of the TiVo Stream 4K device. Although we strive to make TiVo Stream 4K service available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).

Optional Offers, Promotions and Features: We may offer or facilitate third-party offers for you to participate in, including special offers such as rebates, coupons or other discount programs, as well as promotions such as contests or sweepstakes on TiVo+ or via third-party platforms. These offers and promotions may require purchases or participation in surveys, and may be subject to separate and additional terms and conditions governing your participation and eligibility for any such programs. TiVo is not responsible or liable for any claims, damages, losses or injuries arising from your interactions with such third parties.
Advertisements: TiVo takes no responsibility for advertisements or any third-party material displayed on TiVo+, nor does it take any responsibility for the products or services provided by advertisers.

Age Restrictions: TiVo+ is not intended to be used by children without involvement and approval of a parent or guardian. If you are under the age of 13, you are not permitted to use TiVo+ without the consent of your parent or guardian, in which case your parent or guardian consents to these terms on your behalf. Access to Content may be restricted due to age appropriateness. Accessing TiVo+ and/or the Content from territories where TiVo does not offer TiVo+ is prohibited.
Suspension/Discontinuation: We may change, suspend, or discontinue — temporarily or permanently — some or all of TiVo+ (including the Content and the devices through which TiVo+ is accessed), with respect to any or all users, at any time without notice. You acknowledge that TiVo may do so in TiVo’s sole discretion. You also agree that TiVo will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of TiVo+.

We reserve the right (without liability) to (1) accept or decline your order for any reason (including if we suspect you are ordering products for resale, or if our product inventory is insufficient to satisfy your order), (2) supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item, (3) change prices for products displayed on tivo.com at any time, (4) correct inadvertent pricing or product/service information errors, (5) charge your credit card on file a 15% restocking fee for orders that are refused at the shipping address designated for your account at the time of purchase, and (6) charge you a shipping fee for the delivery of your order, as disclosed to you at the time of purchase.

Returns
We only accept returns for refunds within 30 days of purchase from www.tivo.com. Products purchased through third-party retailers must be returned to the third party in accordance with their respective returns and refunds policy.
Limited Warranties
TiVo hardware products (including TiVo DVRs, TiVo Stream 4K, and TiVo Minis) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available attivo.com/legal. TiVo makes changes to the limited warranty from time to time so you should review the applicable terms on our website before completing your purchase. We do not offer warranties on third-party products sold on tivo.com, but contact the manufacturer directly to inquire whether they offer any warranty or if you have any questions or concerns.
Payment Terms
When you provide credit card information to us, you represent that you are the authorized user of the card and agree to notify us of any changes to the relevant account number, expiration date, and billing address, or if the card expires or is canceled. You agree that we may receive updated credit card information (such as a new expiration date) from your credit card issuer.
We will charge your credit card (as applicable) when (a) your order ships, (b) on each billing date for your TiVo Service Subscription or third-party applications or services you authorize us to bill on your behalf, (c) when you authorize purchases through your TiVo devices including third-party applications and services that enable TiVo to bill on your behalf, (d) at the time of purchase for third-party applications and services, and (e) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees including where applicable such fees associated with third parties we are billing on your behalf. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy. If you believe that there is an inaccuracy, you have 90-days to notify TiVo. If you do not contact TiVo within 90 days of the disputed billing date, TiVo will not be responsible for any billing errors. In the event the dispute is based on a charge or fee that TiVo is billing on your behalf to a third party, you must contact the third-party merchant directly to dispute any charges. TiVo is not authorized to negotiate these disputes on your behalf.
For subscriptions or fees, including all recurring third-party applications or services that you authorize us to bill on your behalf, your TiVo Service Subscription (unless you have an All-In Plan subscription) or applicable recurring third-party service or application fees (“Third Party Recurring Fee”) will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic TiVo Service Subscription fee (as applicable). You hereby authorize us to automatically charge any subscription fee or Third Party Recurring Fee to your credit card each billing date until you (i) cancel your TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, and/or (ii) cancel any third-party applications in accordance with the applicable Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms. Please note, such payment terms may differ for each third-party application, so unless you are able to access this feature in your tivo.com account, you will need to contact the third-party provider of such services for details on cancellation. Regardless of the type or length of your TiVo Service Subscription, subscription fees paid prior to cancellation are nonrefundable in any amount (subject only to our30-day Money Back Guarantee). Terms and conditions for Third Party Recurring Fees are not governed by TiVo, please contact the third party for details.
Some notes about payments:
- By subscribing to the TiVo Service Subscription or Third-Party Recurring Fee, you authorize us to charge the applicable TiVo Service Subscription fees or third-party fees (and any other applicable fees, such as an early termination fee) to your credit card on file.
- If your credit card reaches its expiration date and you have not updated your payment information with us or cancelled your account, you authorize us to continue billing your credit card and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
- Each charge on the applicable billing date applies to the period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly TiVo Service Subscription in January is for the TiVo Service Subscription for the month of February). Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms may differ – please contact the third-party provider of such services for details.
- Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some jurisdictions, the tax will be based on the MSRP for the product (and not the discounted price you paid).
- All prices on tivo.com are listed in U.S. Dollars.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription without notice if your credit card is rejected or if your card issuer seeks the return of payments previously made to us. You agree to pay (i) any outstanding balance in full within 30 days of cancellation, and (ii) a late charge on all amounts more than 30 days past due. The late charge will be 1.5% of the past due amount or the highest rate allowed by law (whichever is less) per month. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal right or remedies available to TiVo. These conditions may apply to Third Party Recurring Fees, please contact the third-party application or service provider for details.

You may cancel your account or a subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486.

Waiver: No waiver of any term or breach of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other term or breach.
Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, such unenforceability will not render this agreement unenforceable and, in such event, such provision is to be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable provision within the limits of applicable law.

- TiVo Products and TiVo Services provided to you directly by your cable or satellite provider are subject to their terms of use (and not this Agreement).
Accounts
To create an account with us, you must be (1) a resident of the continental United States, Alaska, or Hawaii; (2) the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and (3) creating an account for yourself (and not for a business or entity). You are responsible for all charges on your account, so we suggest picking a strong password and not sharing it with others.
Use of TiVo Products and TiVo Services
TiVo Products and TiVo Services are intended for your personal, non-public, and non-commercial use.
TiVo grants you a personal, non-commercial, and non-exclusive license to (1) access and use our websites, (2) install and use our software applications on devices that you own or control, (3) use software that is embedded in (or downloaded to) TiVo hardware products, and (4) access and use TiVo Services and our other hosted services using authorized TiVo Products.
In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement, TiVo reserves the right to modify or terminate your account, any granted licenses, or access to any TiVo Product or TiVo Service if, in TiVo’s determination, you are violating this agreement or any laws, regulations, or court or governmental orders, or engaging in behavior towards any TiVo customer, employee or other third party that is abusive, harassing, inappropriate, or demeaning as determined by TiVo in its sole discretion.
Features and functionality are subject to change. We reserve the right to determine the timing and content of software updates, which may be automatically downloaded and installed by TiVo Products without prior notice to you.
Some notes about your use of TiVo Products and TiVo Services:
- Some TiVo Products require a subscription to the TiVo service (“TiVo Service Subscription”), see TiVo Service Subscriptions below for details.
- Our Privacy Policy governs the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.
- We do not endorse or warrant the performance of any third-party applications or advertised third-party products or services that may be accessible through or in included in TiVo Products or TiVo Services.

- You are responsible for any charges related to your use of a TiVo Product or TiVo Service (such as charges for broadband Internet, wireless data, or pay-per-view content), so be careful if you give others access to the remote or your account password.
- Some TiVo Products have enhanced functionality based upon third-party applications or services which may require a separate subscription payment to a third-party. In some instances, these charges will be managed by TiVo, but your account, account terms and conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party irrespective of whether TiVo manages the payments on your behalf.
If a TiVo Product or TiVo Service supports voice services, certain compatible voice remotes allow you to use your voice to control functionality (e.g., search for content, switch inputs, launch channels, launch program guide). When you choose to use your voice to use or control a TiVo Product or TiVo Service, you agree that TiVo and third parties who fulfill your requests and/or provide services for TiVo have your consent to record, process, and store your voice inputs (e.g., a recording and the interpretation of what was said), and use such voice inputs with other information about your use of the TiVo Product or TiVo Service (e.g., device identifier) to provide services to you, to improve the accuracy and quality of the TiVo Product or TiVo Service, and as further described in TiVo’s Privacy Policy.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 12 TiVo set-top boxes (DVRs or TiVo Minis) and 10 TiVo soft devices (“TiVo soft devices” are the TiVo Stream 4K or TiVo mobile application per device) on the same tivo.com account.

- You may sync a maximum number of 10 mobile devices.
- You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (i.e., no using your neighbor’s iPad).
Due to the copy protection assigned by the content provider, not all recorded content can be downloaded, and some recorded content can only be streamed and/or downloaded while your mobile device is on the same local network as your TiVo DVR. Terms and conditions of any cloud-based DVR services that may be available via third parties (such as your service provider or third-party subscription service) are governed by the terms of service with that provider and not TiVo.

TiVo Products or TiVo Services may have features that include geo-fencing or other geographic restrictions on use. You may not attempt to subvert these geographic restrictions.
We have the right to investigate violations of this Agreement or conduct that affects any TiVo Products or TiVo Services. We may also consult and cooperate with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the law.
If TiVo determines in its sole discretion that you are violating any term or condition of this Agreement, we may (i) notify you, (ii) use technical measures to block or restrict your access to or use of a TiVo Product or TiVo Service, and/or (iii) use any other available legal or equitable remedy. In any case, you agree to immediately stop accessing or using in any way (or attempting to access or use) the TiVo Product or TiVo Service, and you agree not to circumvent, avoid, or bypass such restrictions, or otherwise restore or attempt to restore such access or use.
Certain TiVo Products require a TiVo Service Subscription. We currently offer three TiVo Service Subscription plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (Please note: the All-In Plan replaced the Product Lifetime Service subscription offered in prior versions of this agreement.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby the TiVo Service Subscription is explicitly (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo Product (for example, a TiVo Service Subscription is included as part of the purchase price of a TiVo Mini) or (2) shared between or among more than one TiVo Product, a separate TiVo Service Subscription is required for each TiVo Product. Visit tivo.com for current rates and offers.
Some notes about TiVo Service Subscriptions:
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of any TiVo Product or TiVo Service.
- Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other recurring) TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, your TiVo Service Subscription automatically will renew (on a month-to-month basis for a monthly TiVo Service Subscription, or on a year-to-year basis for an annual TiVo Service Subscription, or such other periodic term as designated in your subscription) at the end of each subscription term, at the same TiVo Service Subscription fee (even if you are not using the TiVo device or it has been lost, sold, or otherwise transferred).
- Monthly, annual, or other periodic TiVo Service Subscriptions may not be transferred to another TiVo device or subscriber.
- With a new All-In Plan subscription: (a) you pay just once (rather than monthly, annually, or in some other frequency) for your TiVo Service Subscription, (b) your subscription lasts for as long as your TiVo device is operational (or until TiVo discontinues support for your device, whichever comes first), and (c) you cannot transfer your subscription to another TiVo device (except in cases of warranty repair or replacement under applicable warranty terms).
- An All-In Plan subscription accompanies the TiVo device in case of ownership transfer.
- With an All-In Plan, you receive those TiVo Service Subscription features that we make generally available to all customers who have activated a TiVo Service Subscription for that same TiVo Product, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. You may incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo Service Subscription. In addition, TiVo reserves the right to subsequently release, and to charge separate amounts for, new features or functionality that are not made generally available to all customers who have activated a TiVo Service Subscription on a particular TiVo Product.
- Although we strive to make the TiVo Service Subscription available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).
Early Termination Fees We sometimes offer discounted rates for TiVo Products and/or TiVo Service Subscriptions when you agree to subscribe to the TiVo Service Subscription for a minimum commitment term (such as 1 year). If you cancel your subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription before the end of your minimum commitment term, you agree to pay us the applicable early termination fee (unless you cancel during our 30-day money-back guarantee period). |
TiVo Stream 4K Service
- TiVo Stream 4K service features will include those that we make generally available to all customers who have purchased a TiVo Stream 4K device, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. There is not an ongoing monthly or annual service subscription charge for the TiVo Stream 4K service. However, many of the functionalities of TiVo Stream 4K are based upon third-party subscription services and you will incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo Stream 4K service. Even if some of these third-party charges may be managed by TiVo on your behalf, your account, account terms, conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party and such third-party services are not part of the TiVo Stream 4K service.
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of the TiVo Stream 4K product.
- Service to TiVo Stream 4K devices is provided at the sole discretion of TiVo. No upgrades are guaranteed as part of the TiVo Stream 4K device. Although we strive to make TiVo Stream 4K service available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).

Limited Warranties
TiVo hardware products (including TiVo DVRs, TiVo Stream 4K, and TiVo Minis) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal. We do not offer warranties on third-party products sold on tivo.com, but look in the documentation or on the packaging for information on any warranty they may offer and contact the manufacturer directly if you have any questions or concerns.
Payment Terms
When you provide credit card information to us, you represent that you are the authorized user of the card and agree to notify us of any changes to the relevant account number, expiration date, and billing address, or if the card expires or is canceled. You agree that we may receive updated credit card information (such as a new expiration date) from your credit card issuer.
We will charge your credit card (as applicable) when (a) your order ships, (b) on each billing date for your TiVo Service Subscription or third-party applications or services you authorize us to bill on your behalf, (c) when you authorize purchases through your TiVo devices including third-party applications and services that enable TiVo to bill on your behalf, (d) at the time of purchase for third-party applications and services, and (e) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees including where applicable such fees associated with third parties we are billing on your behalf. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy. If you believe that there is an inaccuracy, you have 90-days to notify TiVo. If you do not contact TiVo within 90 days of the disputed billing date, TiVo will not be responsible for any billing errors. In the event the dispute is based on a charge or fee that TiVo is billing on your behalf to a third party, you must contact the third-party merchant directly to dispute any charges. TiVo is not authorized to negotiate these disputes on your behalf.
For subscriptions or fees, including all recurring third-party applications or services that you authorize us to bill on your behalf, your TiVo Service Subscription (unless you have an All-In Plan subscription) or applicable recurring third-party service or application fees (“Third Party Recurring Fee”) will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic TiVo Service Subscription fee (as applicable). You hereby authorize us to automatically charge any subscription fee or Third Party Recurring Fee to your credit card each billing date until you (i) cancel your TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, and/or (ii) cancel any third-party applications in accordance with the applicable Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms. Please note, such payment terms may differ for each third-party application, so unless you are able to access this feature in your tivo.com account, you will need to contact the third-party provider of such services for details on cancellation. Regardless of the type or length of your TiVo Service Subscription, subscription fees paid prior to cancellation are nonrefundable in any amount (subject only to our 30-day Money Back Guarantee). Terms and conditions for Third Party Recurring Fees are not governed by TiVo, please contact the third party for details.
Some notes about payments:
- By subscribing to the TiVo Service Subscription or Third-Party Recurring Fee, you authorize us to charge the applicable TiVo Service Subscription fees or third-party fees (and any other applicable fees, such as an early termination fee) to your credit card on file.
- If your credit card reaches its expiration date and you have not updated your payment information with us or cancelled your account, you authorize us to continue billing your credit card and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
- Each charge on the applicable billing date applies to the period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly TiVo Service Subscription in January is for the TiVo Service Subscription for the month of February). Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms may differ – please contact the third-party provider of such services for details.
- Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some jurisdictions, the tax will be based on the MSRP for the product (and not the discounted price you paid).
- All prices on tivo.com are listed in U.S. Dollars.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription without notice if your credit card is rejected or if your card issuer seeks the return of payments previously made to us. You agree to pay (i) any outstanding balance in full within 30 days of cancellation, and (ii) a late charge on all amounts more than 30 days past due. The late charge will be 1.5% of the past due amount or the highest rate allowed by law (whichever is less) per month. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal right or remedies available to TiVo. These conditions may apply to Third Party Recurring Fees, please contact the third-party application or service provider for details.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
EXCEPT FOR ANY TIVO PRODUCTS OR TIVO SERVICES FOR WHICH WE PROVIDE A WRITTEN WARRANTY (WHICH YOU CAN FIND AT TIVO.COM/LEGAL), WE ARE PROVIDING YOU WITH TIVO’S PRODUCTS AND TIVO SERVICES “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND YOUR USE OF TIVO PRODUCTS AND TIVO SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIVO AND ITS LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES REGARDING ACCURACY, OPERABILITY, AVAILABILITY, USE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIVO AND ITS LICENSORS, AFFILIATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR: (1) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (EVEN IF TIVO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND/OR SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) ANY TIVO PRODUCT OR TIVO SERVICE, OR (2) ANY DIRECT DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF WHAT YOU HAVE PAID TIVO FOR THE TIVO PRODUCT OR TIVO SERVICE AT ISSUE OR $150 U.S. DOLLARS (WHICHEVER IS GREATER). THIS IS INTENDED TO APPLY (AND YOU AGREE THAT IT WILL) EVEN UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAUSE ANY EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A TIVO PRODUCT OR TIVO SERVICE, PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-877-367-8486. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RESULT AND WISH TO SEEK FURTHER ACTION, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US SHALL BE RESOLVED IN (i) BINDING ARBITRATION OR (ii) SMALL CLAIMS COURT. YOU MUST SERVE ANY DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION OR LEGAL COMPLAINT ON TIVO’S DESIGNATED AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS, WITH A COPY TO DISPUTENOTICE@TIVO.COM. WE HAVE DESIGNED THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION TO MAKE THE PROCESS AS CONVENIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS (AND US) AS POSSIBLE. THE ARBITRATION PROCESS CAN BE A FASTER, SIMPLER, LESS FORMAL, AND LESS EXPENSIVE ROUTE THAN FILING A LAWSUIT AND GOING TO COURT. IN ARBITRATION, YOU STILL ARE ENTITLED TO A FAIR HEARING, BUT A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR (AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY) WILL DETERMINE YOUR RIGHTS. ARBITRATOR DECISIONS ARE FINAL, AS ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER, AND SUBJECT ONLY TO LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. IF YOU WOULD PREFER NOT TO ARBITRATE, YOU STILL CAN CHOOSE TO BRING A DISPUTE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. MANDATORY ARBITRATION: WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT (AND TIVO PRODUCTS OR TIVO SERVICES) EXCLUSIVELY BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION (WITH “DISPUTE” TO BE GIVEN THE BROADEST POSSIBLE MEANING), AND WE EACH AGREE TO GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO HAVE A DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JURY. WE EACH RETAIN THE RIGHT TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO PREVENT (1) THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND (2) ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE, PIRACY, OR THEFT.
INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION: WE EACH MUST TRY IN GOOD FAITH FOR 15 DAYS TO RESOLVE INFORMALLY ANY DISPUTE BEFORE STARTING ARBITRATION. A PARTY WHO INTENDS TO INITIATE ARBITRATION MUST FIRST SEND THE OTHER AN EMAIL WITH: (1) A “NOTICE OF DISPUTE” IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF THE EMAIL; AND (2) A REASONABLY DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURE AND BASIS OF THE DISPUTE, AS WELL AS THE RELIEF SOUGHT, IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL. ONLY EMAILS THAT COMPLY WITH THE FOREGOING WILL TRIGGER THE START OF THE 15-DAY INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS. SEND YOUR NOTICE TO DISPUTENOTICE@TIVO.COM, AND WE WILL SEND OURS TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT. A TIVO REPRESENTATIVE WILL CONTACT YOU TO TRY TO INFORMALLY RESOLVE THE DISPUTE. IF WE DO NOT REACH AN AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER THE DATE THE INITIAL NOTICE WAS SENT, THEN EITHER OF US MAY START ARBITRATION IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED BELOW. ARBITRATION PROCESS: THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (AAA) WILL ADMINISTER THE ARBITRATION, USING THE AAA’S CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES. THOSE RULES AND INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO INITIATE ARBITRATION ARE AVAILABLE AT ADR.ORG OR BY CALLING 1-800-778-7879. THE AAA PROVIDES A FORM DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION AND A SEPARATE FORM FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS. UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THE COUNTY WHERE YOU RESIDE. IF THE RELIEF SOUGHT IS $10,000 OR LESS, THE HEARING WILL BE CONDUCTED BY TELEPHONE OR VIDEOCONFERENCE OR BY A SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTS (UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR REQUIRES A FACE-TO-FACE HEARING). ARBITRATOR’S DECISION: THE ARBITRATOR MUST PROVIDE US WITH A BRIEF WRITTEN EXPLANATION OF THE BASIS FOR THE AWARD. IN MAKING THE AWARD, THE ARBITRATOR MUST APPLY ANY PERTINENT CONTRACT TERMS, STATUTES AND LEGAL PRECEDENTS (INCLUDING THE “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY” SECTION ABOVE). THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING, BUT SUBJECT TO REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATUTES GOVERNING ARBITRATION AWARDS. JUDGMENT ON THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT WITH JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION FEES: IF YOU INITIATE ARBITRATION SEEKING MORE THAN $75,000 IN DAMAGES, THE PAYMENT OF FEES WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA’S RULES. OTHERWISE, WE WILL PAY ALL AAA FILING, ADMINISTRATION, AND ARBITRATOR FEES. IF, HOWEVER, THE ARBITRATOR FINDS THAT EITHER THE SUBSTANCE OF YOUR CLAIM OR THE RELIEF SOUGHT IN THE DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION IS UNREASONABLE OR BROUGHT FOR AN IMPROPER PURPOSE (AS MEASURED BY THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 11(B)), THEN YOU AGREE TO REIMBURSE US FOR AMOUNTS WE PAID ON YOUR BEHALF UNDER THE AAA’S RULES. TIVO WILL NOT SEEK ITS ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS IN ARBITRATION UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THAT YOUR CLAIM IS FRIVOLOUS. OPT-OUT: YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION (OTHER THAN THE “JUDICIAL FORUM” AND “TIME LIMIT FOR DISPUTES” PARAGRAPHS BELOW) BY NOTIFYING TIVO WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE ON WHICH YOU PURCHASE YOUR INITIAL TIVO PRODUCT. YOU MUST DO SO BY WRITING TO TIVO PLATFORM TECHNOLOGIES LLC, 2190 GOLD STREET, SAN JOSE, CA 95002, ATTN: ARBITRATION OPT-OUT, AND INCLUDING YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, ACCOUNT NUMBER (IF YOU HAVE ONE), AND A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH TIVO THROUGH ARBITRATION. JUDICIAL FORUM: IF (1) YOU OPT-OUT OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION OR (2) AN ARBITRATOR OR COURT FINDS THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN THIS SECTION TO BE INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, THEN: (A) THE ARBITRATION-RELATED PARAGRAPHS SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO APPLY TO YOU; (B) YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE YOU HAVE WITH TIVO EXCLUSIVELY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA; AND (C) YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL AND SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION AND EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF SUCH COURTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATING SUCH DISPUTE. WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE. TIME LIMIT FOR DISPUTES: WE EACH AGREE (REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY) THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE FILED WITHIN 1 YEAR AFTER SUCH DISPUTE AROSE OR ELSE WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. |
Governing Law THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, OTHER APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, IN THE UNITED STATES, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS. This agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. |
Term and Termination
This agreement applies from the date when you accept it and continues until terminated by either of us. We may suspend your account and/or terminate this agreement (1) immediately for your breach of this agreement, or (2) upon 10 business days’ prior written notice to you, for any other reason. All sections of this agreement that by their nature should continue (such as the “Dispute Resolution” section) will survive termination.
You may cancel your account or a subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. Cancellation will not entitle you to any refund (including of any subscription fees) and may be subject to an early termination fee in some cases (see the “Early Termination Fees” section for more details). TiVo reserves the right to collect fees, surcharges and costs incurred prior to the cancellation of any account or subscription. You acknowledge that cancelling your account or subscription may cause your TiVo Products or TiVo Services to no longer function.
Changes to this Agreement
We need the flexibility to update this agreement from time to time as our business changes. If we make changes that restrict your rights, we will notify you at least 15 days in advance (to give you time to review the changes and cancel your account if you do not want to be bound by the revised version, although we certainly hope you do not cancel your account). By continuing to use TiVo Products and/or TiVo Services after changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised version of this Agreement. If we make changes to the dispute resolution provision, then: (1) such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the changes become effective; and (2) if such changes to the dispute resolution provision restrict your rights, you will have 30 days (from our notification to you) to opt-out of the modified dispute resolution provision (other than the “Judicial forum” and “Time limit for disputes” paragraphs above) by adhering to each of the requirements of the “Opt-out” paragraph above.
General Legal Terms
Additional Terms: Additional or different terms may apply to certain TiVo Products and/or TiVo Services, and if so, we will ask you to agree to those terms separately.
Assignment: You may not assign or transfer this Agreement (or any of your rights or obligations under this agreement) without TiVo’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment or transfer without complying with the foregoing will be void. TiVo may freely assign or transfer this Agreement. This Agreement inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the parties and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

Third-Party Beneficiaries: This agreement does not confer any third-party beneficiary rights (except with respect to Apple, as described below).
Waiver: No waiver of any term or breach of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other term or breach.
Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, such unenforceability will not render this agreement unenforceable and, in such event, such provision is to be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable provision within the limits of applicable law.

If a TiVo Product or TiVo Service supports voice services, certain compatible voice remotes allow you to use your voice to control functionality (e.g., search for content, switch inputs, launch channels, launch program guide). When you choose to use your voice to use or control a TiVo Product or TiVo Service, you agree that TiVo and third parties who fulfill your requests and/or provide services for TiVo have your consent to record, process, and store your voice inputs (e.g., a recording and the interpretation of what was said), and use such voice inputs with other information about your use of the TiVo Product or TiVo Service (e.g., device identifier) to provide services to you, to improve the accuracy and quality of the TiVo Product or TiVo Service, and as further described in TiVo’s Privacy Policy.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 12 TiVo set-top boxes (DVRs or TiVo Minis) and 10 TiVo soft devices (“TiVo soft devices” are the TiVo Stream 4K or TiVo mobile application per device) on the same tivo.com account.
Some TiVo DVRs may let you stream or download recorded content to your mobile devices. The following restrictions apply to streaming or downloading recorded content from a TiVo DVR:
- You may sync a maximum number of 10 mobile devices.
- You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (i.e., no using your neighbor’s iPad).
Due to the copy protection assigned by the content provider, not all recorded content can be downloaded, and some recorded content can only be streamed and/or downloaded while your mobile device is on the same local network as your TiVo DVR. Terms and conditions of any cloud-based DVR services that may be available via third parties (such as your service provider or third-party subscription service) are governed by the terms of service with that provider and not TiVo.

TiVo Products or TiVo Services may have features that include geo-fencing or other geographic restrictions on use. You may not attempt to subvert these geographic restrictions.
We have the right to investigate violations of this Agreement or conduct that affects any TiVo Products or TiVo Services. We may also consult and cooperate with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the law.
If TiVo determines in its sole discretion that you are violating any term or condition of this Agreement, we may (i) notify you, (ii) use technical measures to block or restrict your access to or use of a TiVo Product or TiVo Service, and/or (iii) use any other available legal or equitable remedy. In any case, you agree to immediately stop accessing or using in any way (or attempting to access or use) the TiVo Product or TiVo Service, and you agree not to circumvent, avoid, or bypass such restrictions, or otherwise restore or attempt to restore such access or use.
Certain TiVo Products require a TiVo Service Subscription. We currently offer three TiVo Service Subscription plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (Please note: the All-In Plan replaced the Product Lifetime Service subscription offered in prior versions of this agreement.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby the TiVo Service Subscription is explicitly (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo Product (for example, a TiVo Service Subscription is included as part of the purchase price of a TiVo Mini) or (2) shared between or among more than one TiVo Product, a separate TiVo Service Subscription is required for each TiVo Product. Visit tivo.com for current rates and offers.
Some notes about TiVo Service Subscriptions:
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of any TiVo Product or TiVo Service.
- Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other recurring) TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, your TiVo Service Subscription automatically will renew (on a month-to-month basis for a monthly TiVo Service Subscription, or on a year-to-year basis for an annual TiVo Service Subscription, or such other periodic term as designated in your subscription) at the end of each subscription term, at the same TiVo Service Subscription fee (even if you are not using the TiVo device or it has been lost, sold, or otherwise transferred).
- Monthly, annual, or other periodic TiVo Service Subscriptions may not be transferred to another TiVo device or subscriber.
- With a new All-In Plan subscription: (a) you pay just once (rather than monthly, annually, or in some other frequency) for your TiVo Service Subscription, (b) your subscription lasts for as long as your TiVo device is operational (or until TiVo discontinues support for your device, whichever comes first), and (c) you cannot transfer your subscription to another TiVo device (except in cases of warranty repair or replacement under applicable warranty terms).
- An All-In Plan subscription accompanies the TiVo device in case of ownership transfer.
- With an All-In Plan, you receive those TiVo Service Subscription features that we make generally available to all customers who have activated a TiVo Service Subscription for that same TiVo Product, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. You may incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo Service Subscription. In addition, TiVo reserves the right to subsequently release, and to charge separate amounts for, new features or functionality that are not made generally available to all customers who have activated a TiVo Service Subscription on a particular TiVo Product.
- Although we strive to make the TiVo Service Subscription available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).
Early Termination Fees We sometimes offer discounted rates for TiVo Products and/or TiVo Service Subscriptions when you agree to subscribe to the TiVo Service Subscription for a minimum commitment term (such as 1 year). If you cancel your subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription before the end of your minimum commitment term, you agree to pay us the applicable early termination fee (unless you cancel during our 30-day money-back guarantee period). |
TiVo Stream 4K Service
- TiVo Stream 4K service features will include those that we make generally available to all customers who have purchased a TiVo Stream 4K device, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. There is not an ongoing monthly or annual service subscription charge for the TiVo Stream 4K service. However, many of the functionalities of TiVo Stream 4K are based upon third-party subscription services and you will incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo Stream 4K service. Even if some of these third-party charges may be managed by TiVo on your behalf, your account, account terms, conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party and such third-party services are not part of the TiVo Stream 4K service.
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of the TiVo Stream 4K product.
- Service to TiVo Stream 4K devices is provided at the sole discretion of TiVo. No upgrades are guaranteed as part of the TiVo Stream 4K device. Although we strive to make TiVo Stream 4K service available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).

You will not infer or assume that TiVo endorses, operates, controls, is responsible for or is connected with these or other third-party content, application, services or destinations, even if they link to TiVo+ and even if such applications, services or destinations are operated by a person (including a legal entity) affiliated or otherwise connected with TiVo.

TiVo is not responsible or liable for any claims, damages, losses or injuries arising from your interactions with such third parties.
Advertisements: TiVo takes no responsibility for advertisements or any third-party material displayed on TiVo+, nor does it take any responsibility for the products or services provided by advertisers. Any dealings you have with advertisers found while using TiVo+ is between you and the advertiser, and you agree that TiVo is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against an advertiser.
Age Restrictions: TiVo+ is not intended to be used by children without involvement and approval of a parent or guardian. If you are under the age of 13, you are not permitted to use TiVo+ without the consent of your parent or guardian, in which case your parent or guardian consents to these terms on your behalf. Access to Content may be restricted due to age appropriateness. Accessing TiVo+ and/or the Content from territories where TiVo does not offer TiVo+ is prohibited.
Suspension/Discontinuation: We may change, suspend, or discontinue — temporarily or permanently — some or all of TiVo+ (including the Content and the devices through which TiVo+ is accessed), with respect to any or all users, at any time without notice. You acknowledge that TiVo may do so in TiVo’s sole discretion. You also agree that TiVo will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of TiVo+.

Limited Warranties
TiVo hardware products (including TiVo DVRs, TiVo Stream 4K, and TiVo Minis) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal. We do not offer warranties on third-party products sold on tivo.com, but look in the documentation or on the packaging for information on any warranty they may offer and contact the manufacturer directly if you have any questions or concerns.
Payment Terms
When you provide credit card information to us, you represent that you are the authorized user of the card and agree to notify us of any changes to the relevant account number, expiration date, and billing address, or if the card expires or is canceled. You agree that we may receive updated credit card information (such as a new expiration date) from your credit card issuer.
We will charge your credit card (as applicable) when (a) your order ships, (b) on each billing date for your TiVo Service Subscription or third-party applications or services you authorize us to bill on your behalf, (c) when you authorize purchases through your TiVo devices including third-party applications and services that enable TiVo to bill on your behalf, (d) at the time of purchase for third-party applications and services, and (e) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees including where applicable such fees associated with third parties we are billing on your behalf. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy. If you believe that there is an inaccuracy, you have 90-days to notify TiVo. If you do not contact TiVo within 90 days of the disputed billing date, TiVo will not be responsible for any billing errors. In the event the dispute is based on a charge or fee that TiVo is billing on your behalf to a third party, you must contact the third-party merchant directly to dispute any charges. TiVo is not authorized to negotiate these disputes on your behalf.
For subscriptions or fees, including all recurring third-party applications or services that you authorize us to bill on your behalf, your TiVo Service Subscription (unless you have an All-In Plan subscription) or applicable recurring third-party service or application fees (“Third Party Recurring Fee”) will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic TiVo Service Subscription fee (as applicable). You hereby authorize us to automatically charge any subscription fee or Third Party Recurring Fee to your credit card each billing date until you (i) cancel your TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, and/or (ii) cancel any third-party applications in accordance with the applicable Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms. Please note, such payment terms may differ for each third-party application, so unless you are able to access this feature in your tivo.com account, you will need to contact the third-party provider of such services for details on cancellation. Regardless of the type or length of your TiVo Service Subscription, subscription fees paid prior to cancellation are nonrefundable in any amount (subject only to our 30-day Money Back Guarantee). Terms and conditions for Third Party Recurring Fees are not governed by TiVo, please contact the third party for details.
Some notes about payments:
- By subscribing to the TiVo Service Subscription or Third-Party Recurring Fee, you authorize us to charge the applicable TiVo Service Subscription fees or third-party fees (and any other applicable fees, such as an early termination fee) to your credit card on file.
- If your credit card reaches its expiration date and you have not updated your payment information with us or cancelled your account, you authorize us to continue billing your credit card and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
- Each charge on the applicable billing date applies to the period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly TiVo Service Subscription in January is for the TiVo Service Subscription for the month of February). Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms may differ – please contact the third-party provider of such services for details.
- Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some jurisdictions, the tax will be based on the MSRP for the product (and not the discounted price you paid).
- All prices on tivo.com are listed in U.S. Dollars.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription without notice if your credit card is rejected or if your card issuer seeks the return of payments previously made to us. You agree to pay (i) any outstanding balance in full within 30 days of cancellation, and (ii) a late charge on all amounts more than 30 days past due. The late charge will be 1.5% of the past due amount or the highest rate allowed by law (whichever is less) per month. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal right or remedies available to TiVo. These conditions may apply to Third Party Recurring Fees, please contact the third-party application or service provider for details.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
EXCEPT FOR ANY TIVO PRODUCTS OR TIVO SERVICES FOR WHICH WE PROVIDE A WRITTEN WARRANTY (WHICH YOU CAN FIND AT TIVO.COM/LEGAL), WE ARE PROVIDING YOU WITH TIVO’S PRODUCTS AND TIVO SERVICES “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND YOUR USE OF TIVO PRODUCTS AND TIVO SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIVO AND ITS LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES REGARDING ACCURACY, OPERABILITY, AVAILABILITY, USE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIVO AND ITS LICENSORS, AFFILIATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR: (1) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (EVEN IF TIVO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND/OR SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) ANY TIVO PRODUCT OR TIVO SERVICE, OR (2) ANY DIRECT DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF WHAT YOU HAVE PAID TIVO FOR THE TIVO PRODUCT OR TIVO SERVICE AT ISSUE OR $150 U.S. DOLLARS (WHICHEVER IS GREATER). THIS IS INTENDED TO APPLY (AND YOU AGREE THAT IT WILL) EVEN UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAUSE ANY EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A TIVO PRODUCT OR TIVO SERVICE, PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-877-367-8486. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RESULT AND WISH TO SEEK FURTHER ACTION, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US SHALL BE RESOLVED IN (i) BINDING ARBITRATION OR (ii) SMALL CLAIMS COURT. YOU MUST SERVE ANY DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION OR LEGAL COMPLAINT ON TIVO’S DESIGNATED AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS, WITH A COPY TO DISPUTENOTICE@TIVO.COM. WE HAVE DESIGNED THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION TO MAKE THE PROCESS AS CONVENIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS (AND US) AS POSSIBLE. THE ARBITRATION PROCESS CAN BE A FASTER, SIMPLER, LESS FORMAL, AND LESS EXPENSIVE ROUTE THAN FILING A LAWSUIT AND GOING TO COURT. IN ARBITRATION, YOU STILL ARE ENTITLED TO A FAIR HEARING, BUT A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR (AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY) WILL DETERMINE YOUR RIGHTS. ARBITRATOR DECISIONS ARE FINAL, AS ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER, AND SUBJECT ONLY TO LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. IF YOU WOULD PREFER NOT TO ARBITRATE, YOU STILL CAN CHOOSE TO BRING A DISPUTE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. MANDATORY ARBITRATION: WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT (AND TIVO PRODUCTS OR TIVO SERVICES) EXCLUSIVELY BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION (WITH “DISPUTE” TO BE GIVEN THE BROADEST POSSIBLE MEANING), AND WE EACH AGREE TO GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO HAVE A DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JURY. WE EACH RETAIN THE RIGHT TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO PREVENT (1) THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND (2) ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE, PIRACY, OR THEFT.
INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION: WE EACH MUST TRY IN GOOD FAITH FOR 15 DAYS TO RESOLVE INFORMALLY ANY DISPUTE BEFORE STARTING ARBITRATION. A PARTY WHO INTENDS TO INITIATE ARBITRATION MUST FIRST SEND THE OTHER AN EMAIL WITH: (1) A “NOTICE OF DISPUTE” IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF THE EMAIL; AND (2) A REASONABLY DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURE AND BASIS OF THE DISPUTE, AS WELL AS THE RELIEF SOUGHT, IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL. ONLY EMAILS THAT COMPLY WITH THE FOREGOING WILL TRIGGER THE START OF THE 15-DAY INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS. SEND YOUR NOTICE TO DISPUTENOTICE@TIVO.COM, AND WE WILL SEND OURS TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT. A TIVO REPRESENTATIVE WILL CONTACT YOU TO TRY TO INFORMALLY RESOLVE THE DISPUTE. IF WE DO NOT REACH AN AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER THE DATE THE INITIAL NOTICE WAS SENT, THEN EITHER OF US MAY START ARBITRATION IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED BELOW. ARBITRATION PROCESS: THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (AAA) WILL ADMINISTER THE ARBITRATION, USING THE AAA’S CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES. THOSE RULES AND INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO INITIATE ARBITRATION ARE AVAILABLE AT ADR.ORG OR BY CALLING 1-800-778-7879. THE AAA PROVIDES A FORM DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION AND A SEPARATE FORM FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS. UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THE COUNTY WHERE YOU RESIDE. IF THE RELIEF SOUGHT IS $10,000 OR LESS, THE HEARING WILL BE CONDUCTED BY TELEPHONE OR VIDEOCONFERENCE OR BY A SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTS (UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR REQUIRES A FACE-TO-FACE HEARING). ARBITRATOR’S DECISION: THE ARBITRATOR MUST PROVIDE US WITH A BRIEF WRITTEN EXPLANATION OF THE BASIS FOR THE AWARD. IN MAKING THE AWARD, THE ARBITRATOR MUST APPLY ANY PERTINENT CONTRACT TERMS, STATUTES AND LEGAL PRECEDENTS (INCLUDING THE “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY” SECTION ABOVE). THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING, BUT SUBJECT TO REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATUTES GOVERNING ARBITRATION AWARDS. JUDGMENT ON THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT WITH JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION FEES: IF YOU INITIATE ARBITRATION SEEKING MORE THAN $75,000 IN DAMAGES, THE PAYMENT OF FEES WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA’S RULES. OTHERWISE, WE WILL PAY ALL AAA FILING, ADMINISTRATION, AND ARBITRATOR FEES. IF, HOWEVER, THE ARBITRATOR FINDS THAT EITHER THE SUBSTANCE OF YOUR CLAIM OR THE RELIEF SOUGHT IN THE DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION IS UNREASONABLE OR BROUGHT FOR AN IMPROPER PURPOSE (AS MEASURED BY THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 11(B)), THEN YOU AGREE TO REIMBURSE US FOR AMOUNTS WE PAID ON YOUR BEHALF UNDER THE AAA’S RULES. TIVO WILL NOT SEEK ITS ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS IN ARBITRATION UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THAT YOUR CLAIM IS FRIVOLOUS. OPT-OUT: YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION (OTHER THAN THE “JUDICIAL FORUM” AND “TIME LIMIT FOR DISPUTES” PARAGRAPHS BELOW) BY NOTIFYING TIVO WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE ON WHICH YOU PURCHASE YOUR INITIAL TIVO PRODUCT. YOU MUST DO SO BY WRITING TO TIVO PLATFORM TECHNOLOGIES LLC, 2160 GOLD STREET, SAN JOSE, CA 95002, ATTN: ARBITRATION OPT-OUT, AND INCLUDING YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, ACCOUNT NUMBER (IF YOU HAVE ONE), AND A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH TIVO THROUGH ARBITRATION. JUDICIAL FORUM: IF (1) YOU OPT-OUT OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION OR (2) AN ARBITRATOR OR COURT FINDS THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN THIS SECTION TO BE INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, THEN: (A) THE ARBITRATION-RELATED PARAGRAPHS SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO APPLY TO YOU; (B) YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE YOU HAVE WITH TIVO EXCLUSIVELY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA; AND (C) YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL AND SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION AND EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF SUCH COURTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATING SUCH DISPUTE. WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE. TIME LIMIT FOR DISPUTES: WE EACH AGREE (REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY) THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE FILED WITHIN 1 YEAR AFTER SUCH DISPUTE AROSE OR ELSE WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. |
Governing Law THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, OTHER APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, IN THE UNITED STATES, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS. This agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. |
Term and Termination
This agreement applies from the date when you accept it and continues until terminated by either of us. We may suspend your account and/or terminate this agreement (1) immediately for your breach of this agreement, or (2) upon 10 business days’ prior written notice to you, for any other reason. All sections of this agreement that by their nature should continue (such as the “Dispute Resolution” section) will survive termination.
You may cancel your account or a subscription to the TiVo Service Subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. Cancellation will not entitle you to any refund (including of any subscription fees) and may be subject to an early termination fee in some cases (see the “Early Termination Fees” section for more details). TiVo reserves the right to collect fees, surcharges and costs incurred prior to the cancellation of any account or subscription. You acknowledge that cancelling your account or subscription may cause your TiVo Products or TiVo Services to no longer function.
Changes to this Agreement
We need the flexibility to update this agreement from time to time as our business changes. If we make changes that restrict your rights, we will notify you at least 15 days in advance (to give you time to review the changes and cancel your account if you do not want to be bound by the revised version, although we certainly hope you do not cancel your account). By continuing to use TiVo Products and/or TiVo Services after changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised version of this Agreement. If we make changes to the dispute resolution provision, then: (1) such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the changes become effective; and (2) if such changes to the dispute resolution provision restrict your rights, you will have 30 days (from our notification to you) to opt-out of the modified dispute resolution provision (other than the “Judicial forum” and “Time limit for disputes” paragraphs above) by adhering to each of the requirements of the “Opt-out” paragraph above.
General Legal Terms
Additional Terms: Additional or different terms may apply to certain TiVo Products and/or TiVo Services, and if so, we will ask you to agree to those terms separately.
Assignment: You may not assign or transfer this Agreement (or any of your rights or obligations under this agreement) without TiVo’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment or transfer without complying with the foregoing will be void. TiVo may freely assign or transfer this Agreement. This Agreement inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the parties and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
Electronic Communications: You consent to receive communications from TiVo by email and acknowledge that all notices and other communications that TiVo provides to you electronically via email to the address associated with your account will satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You also agree and consent to using electronic signatures and/or electronic consent for any agreements, including but not limited to this Agreement, TiVo’s Privacy Policy, or any other agreement or consent between the parties, during your relationship with TiVo.
Export: TiVo Products and TiVo Services are subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations and must be purchased, sold, exported, re-exported, transferred, and used in compliance with such export laws and regulations. You represent that you are not (1) located in a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and (2) listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Government End-Users: Any TiVo software and related documentation are “Commercial Items,” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101, consisting of “Commercial Computer Software” and “Commercial Computer Software Documentation,” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202 (as applicable). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (as applicable), the Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation are being licensed to U.S. government end users (1) only as Commercial Items, and (2) with only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to this agreement.

All notices from TiVo to you will be sent via email to the address associated with your account and will be deemed given when emailed.
Third-Party Beneficiaries: This agreement does not confer any third-party beneficiary rights (except with respect to Apple, as described below).
Waiver: No waiver of any term or breach of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other term or breach.
Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, such unenforceability will not render this agreement unenforceable and, in such event, such provision is to be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable provision within the limits of applicable law.

- When we say "you" in this policy, we mean both you and any other individuals you let use your TiVo device, software, or account.
- TiVo products provided to you directly by your cable or satellite provider are subject to their terms of use (and not this agreement).
- Some TiVo products require a subscription to the TiVo service, see TiVo Service Subscriptions below for details.
- Our Privacy Policy governs the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.
- We do not endorse or warrant the performance of any included third-party apps or advertised third-party products or services.
- Your use of included third-party apps is subject to the terms of use and privacy policy of the app provider (which we suggest you read).
- You are responsible for any charges related to your use of a TiVo product (such as charges for broadband Internet, wireless data, or pay-per-view content) – so be careful if you give others access to the remote or your account password.
- Some TiVo products have enhanced functionality based upon third-party apps or services which may require a separate subscription payment to a third-party. In some instances, these charges will be managed by TiVo but your account, account terms and conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party irrespective of whether TiVo manages the payments on your behalf.
- You may sync a maximum number of 10 mobile devices.
- You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (i.e., no using your neighbor's iPad).
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of any TiVo product or service. We reserve the right to determine the timing and content of software updates, which may be automatically downloaded and installed by TiVo products without prior notice to you.
- Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other recurring) TiVo service subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, your subscription automatically will renew (on a month-to-month basis for a monthly TiVo service subscription, or on a year-to-year basis for an annual TiVo service subscription, or such other periodic term as designated in your subscription) at the end of each subscription term, at the same service fee (even if you are not using the TiVo device or it has been lost, sold, or otherwise transferred).
- Monthly, annual or other periodic TiVo service subscriptions may not be transferred to another TiVo device or subscriber.
- With a new All-In Plan subscription: (a) you pay just once (rather than monthly, annually, or in some other frequency) for your TiVo service subscription, (b) your subscription lasts for as long as your TiVo device is operational (or until TiVo discontinues support for your device, whichever comes first), and (c) you cannot transfer your subscription to another TiVo device (except in cases of warranty repair or replacement under applicable warranty terms).
- An All-In Plan subscription accompanies the TiVo device in case of ownership transfer.
- With an All-In Plan, you receive those TiVo service features that we make generally available to all customers who have activated a TiVo service subscription for that same TiVo product, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. You may incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo service. In addition, TiVo reserves the right to subsequently release, and to charge separate amounts for, new features or functionality which are not made generally available to all customers who have activated TiVo service on a particular TiVo product.
- Although we strive to make the TiVo service available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).
Early Termination Fees We sometimes offer discounted rates for TiVo products and/or TiVo service subscriptions when you agree to subscribe to the TiVo service for a minimum commitment term (such as 1 year). If you cancel your subscription to the TiVo service before the end of your minimum commitment term, you agree to pay us the applicable early termination fee (unless you cancel during our 30-day money-back guarantee period). |
- TiVo Stream 4K service features will include those that we make generally available to all customers who have purchased a TiVo Stream 4K device, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. There is not an ongoing monthly or annual service subscription charge for the TiVo Stream 4K service. However, many of the functionalities of TiVo Stream 4K are based upon third-party subscriptions services and you will incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo Stream 4K service. Even if some of these third-party charges may be managed by TiVo on your behalf, your account, account terms, conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party and such third-party services are not part of the TiVo Stream 4K service.
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of the TiVo Stream 4K product. We reserve the right to determine the timing and content of software updates, which may be automatically downloaded and installed by TiVo products without prior notice to you.
- Service to TiVo Stream 4K devices is provided at the sole discretion of TiVo. No upgrades are guaranteed as part of the TiVo Stream 4K device. Although we strive to make TiVo Stream 4K service available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).
- Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
- Only initial activations of the TiVo service are eligible for this offer (so renewals, payment plan changes, and hardware replacements are not eligible).
- We will refuse returns of damaged merchandise or items that show wear and tear.
- You have 15 days from the date your return is processed to return your merchandise. If your return is not received within 15 days, we will charge your credit card on file for the MSRP of the unreturned merchandise (plus tax) minus the amount you already paid.
- The 30-day money-back guarantee expressly excludes TiVo Stream 4K devices that have been previously activated.
- For any 30-day money-back guarantee returns of an eligible TiVo Stream 4K device, the cost of shipment of the device back to TiVo shall be the sole responsibility of the customer.
- By subscribing to the TiVo service or Third-Party Recurring Fee, you authorize us to charge the applicable TiVo service fees or third-party fees (and any other applicable fees, such as an early termination fee) to your credit card on file.
- If your credit card reaches its expiration date and you have not updated your payment information with us or cancelled your account, you authorize us to continue billing your credit card and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
- Each charge on the applicable billing date applies to the period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly TiVo service subscription in January is for the TiVo service in the month of February). Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms may differ – please contact the third-party provider of such services for details.
- Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some jurisdictions, the tax will be based on the MSRP for the product (and not the discounted price you paid).
- All prices on tivo.com are listed in U.S. Dollars.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A TIVO PRODUCT OR SERVICE, PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-877-367-8486. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RESULT AND WISH TO SEEK FURTHER ACTION, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US SHALL BE RESOLVED IN BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT. WE HAVE DESIGNED THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION TO MAKE THE PROCESS AS CONVENIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS (AND US) AS POSSIBLE. THE ARBITRATION PROCESS CAN BE A FASTER, SIMPLER, LESS FORMAL, AND LESS EXPENSIVE ROUTE THAN FILING A LAWSUIT AND GOING TO COURT. IN ARBITRATION, YOU STILL ARE ENTITLED TO A FAIR HEARING, BUT A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR (AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY) WILL DETERMINE YOUR RIGHTS. ARBITRATOR DECISIONS ARE FINAL, AS ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER, AND SUBJECT ONLY TO LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. IF YOU WOULD PREFER NOT TO ARBITRATE, YOU STILL CAN CHOOSE TO BRING A DISPUTE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. MANDATORY ARBITRATION: WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT (AND TIVO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES) EXCLUSIVELY BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION (WITH "DISPUTE" TO BE GIVEN THE BROADEST POSSIBLE MEANING), AND WE EACH AGREE TO GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO HAVE A DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JURY. WE EACH RETAIN THE RIGHT TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO PREVENT (1) THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND (2) ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE, PIRACY OR THEFT.
INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION: WE EACH MUST TRY IN GOOD FAITH FOR 15 DAYS TO RESOLVE INFORMALLY ANY DISPUTE BEFORE STARTING ARBITRATION. A PARTY WHO INTENDS TO INITIATE ARBITRATION MUST FIRST SEND THE OTHER AN EMAIL WITH: (1) A "NOTICE OF DISPUTE" IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF THE EMAIL; AND (2) A REASONABLY DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURE AND BASIS OF THE DISPUTE, AS WELL AS THE RELIEF SOUGHT, IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL. ONLY EMAILS THAT COMPLY WITH THE FOREGOING WILL TRIGGER THE START OF THE 15-DAY INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS. SEND YOUR NOTICE TO DISPUTENOTICE@TIVO.COM, AND WE WILL SEND OURS TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT. A TIVO REPRESENTATIVE WILL CONTACT YOU TO TRY TO INFORMALLY RESOLVE THE DISPUTE. IF WE DO NOT REACH AN AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER THE DATE THE INITIAL NOTICE WAS SENT, THEN EITHER OF US MAY START ARBITRATION IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED BELOW. ARBITRATION PROCESS: THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (AAA) WILL ADMINISTER THE ARBITRATION, USING THE AAA'S CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES. THOSE RULES AND INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO INITIATE ARBITRATION ARE AVAILABLE AT ADR.ORG OR BY CALLING 1-800-778-7879. THE AAA PROVIDES A FORM DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION AND A SEPARATE FORM FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS. UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THE COUNTY WHERE YOU RESIDE. IF THE RELIEF SOUGHT IS $10,000 OR LESS, THE HEARING WILL BE CONDUCTED BY TELEPHONE OR VIDEOCONFERENCE OR BY A SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTS (UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR REQUIRES A FACE-TO-FACE HEARING). ARBITRATOR'S DECISION: THE ARBITRATOR MUST PROVIDE US WITH A BRIEF WRITTEN EXPLANATION OF THE BASIS FOR THE AWARD. IN MAKING THE AWARD, THE ARBITRATOR MUST APPLY ANY PERTINENT CONTRACT TERMS, STATUTES AND LEGAL PRECEDENTS (INCLUDING THE "LIMITATION OF LIABILITY" SECTION ABOVE). THE ARBITRATOR'S AWARD WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING, BUT SUBJECT TO REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATUTES GOVERNING ARBITRATION AWARDS. JUDGMENT ON THE ARBITRATOR'S AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT WITH JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION FEES: IF YOU INITIATE ARBITRATION SEEKING MORE THAN $75,000 IN DAMAGES, THE PAYMENT OF FEES WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA'S RULES. OTHERWISE, WE WILL PAY ALL AAA FILING, ADMINISTRATION, AND ARBITRATOR FEES. IF, HOWEVER, THE ARBITRATOR FINDS THAT EITHER THE SUBSTANCE OF YOUR CLAIM OR THE RELIEF SOUGHT IN THE DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION IS UNREASONABLE OR BROUGHT FOR AN IMPROPER PURPOSE (AS MEASURED BY THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 11(B)), THEN YOU AGREE TO REIMBURSE US FOR AMOUNTS WE PAID ON YOUR BEHALF UNDER THE AAA'S RULES. TIVO WILL NOT SEEK ITS ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS IN ARBITRATION UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THAT YOUR CLAIM IS FRIVOLOUS. OPT-OUT: YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION (OTHER THAN THE "JUDICIAL FORUM" AND "TIME LIMIT FOR DISPUTES" PARAGRAPHS BELOW) BY NOTIFYING TIVO WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE ON WHICH YOU PURCHASE YOUR INITIAL TIVO PRODUCT. YOU MUST DO SO BY WRITING TO TIVO PLATFORM TECHNOLOGIES LLC., 2160 GOLD STREET, SAN JOSE, CA 95002, ATTN.: ARBITRATION OPT-OUT, AND INCLUDING YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, ACCOUNT NUMBER (IF YOU HAVE ONE), AND A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH TIVO THROUGH ARBITRATION. JUDICIAL FORUM: IF (1) YOU OPT-OUT OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION OR (2) AN ARBITRATOR OR COURT FINDS THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN THIS SECTION TO BE INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, THEN: (A) THE ARBITRATION-RELATED PARAGRAPHS SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO APPLY TO YOU; (B) YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE YOU HAVE WITH TIVO EXCLUSIVELY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA; AND (C) YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL AND SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION AND EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF SUCH COURTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATING SUCH DISPUTE. WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE. TIME LIMIT FOR DISPUTES: WE EACH AGREE (REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY) THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE FILED WITHIN 1 YEAR AFTER SUCH DISPUTE AROSE OR ELSE WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. |
Governing Law THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, OTHER APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, IN THE UNITED STATES, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS. This agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. |

TiVo hardware products (including TiVo DVRs, TiVo Stream 4K, and TiVo Minis) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal. We do not offer warranties on third-party products sold on tivo.com but look in the documentation or on the packaging for information on any warranty they may offer and contact the manufacturer directly if you have any questions or concerns.
Payment Terms
When you provide credit card information to us, you represent that you are the authorized user of the card and agree to notify us of any changes to the relevant account number, expiration date, and billing address, or if the card expires or is canceled. You agree that we may receive updated credit card information (such as a new expiration date) from your credit card issuer.
We will charge your credit card (as applicable) when (a) your order ships, (b) on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription or third party applications or services you authorize us to bill on your behalf, (c) when you authorize purchases through your TiVo devices including third party applications and services that enable TiVo to bill on your behalf, (d) at the time of purchase for third party applications and services, and (e) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees including where applicable such fees associated with third parties we are billing on your behalf. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy. If you believe that there is an inaccuracy, you have 90-days to notify TiVo. If you do not contact TiVo within 90-days of the disputed billing date, TiVo will not be responsible for any billing errors. In the event the dispute is based on a charge or fee that TiVo is billing on your behalf to a third party, you must contact the third party merchant directly to dispute any charges, TiVo is not authorized to negotiate these disputes on your behalf.
For subscriptions or fees, including all recurring third-party applications or services that you authorize us to bill on your behalf, your TiVo service subscription (unless you have an All-In Plan subscription) or applicable recurring third party service or application fees (“Third Party Recurring Fee”) will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable). You hereby authorize us to automatically charge any subscription fee or Third Party Recurring Fee to your credit card each billing date until you (i) cancel your TiVo service subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, and/or (ii) cancel any third-party applications in accordance with the applicable Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms {Please note: such payment terms may differ for each third-party application so unless you are able to access this feature in your tivo.com account, you will need to contact the third-party provider of such services for details on cancellation}. Regardless of the type or length of your TiVo service subscription, subscription fees paid prior to cancellation are nonrefundable in any amount (subject only to our 30-day Money Back Guarantee). Terms and conditions for Third Party Recurring Fees are not governed by TiVo, please contact the third party for details.
Some notes about payments:
- By subscribing to the TiVo service or Third-Party Recurring Fee, you authorize us to charge the applicable TiVo service fees or third-party fees (and any other applicable fees, such as an early termination fee) to your credit card on file.
- If your credit card reaches its expiration date and you have not updated your payment information with us or cancelled your account, you authorize us to continue billing your credit card and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
- Each charge on the applicable billing date applies to the period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly TiVo service subscription in January is for the TiVo service in the month of February). Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms may differ – please contact the third-party provider of such services for details.
- Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some jurisdictions, the tax will be based on the MSRP for the product (and not the discounted price you paid).
- All prices on tivo.com are listed in U.S. Dollars.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your subscription to the TiVo service without notice if your credit card is rejected or if your card issuer seeks the return of payments previously made to us. You agree to pay (i) any outstanding balance in full within 30 days of cancellation, and (ii) a late charge on all amounts more than 30 days past due. The late charge will be 1.5% of the past due amount or the highest rate allowed by law (whichever is less) per month. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal right or remedies available to TiVo. These conditions may apply to Third Party Recurring Fees, please contact the third-party application or service provider for details.
We also reserve the right to refer your account to a third party for collection to pursue unpaid amounts, and you will remain liable to us for all unpaid charges and all the costs we incur to collect those charges (such as collection agency fees).

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
NOT APPLICABLE IN SASKATCHEWAN
EXCEPT FOR ANY TIVO PRODUCTS FOR WHICH WE PROVIDE A WRITTEN WARRANTY (WHICH YOU CAN FIND AT TIVO.COM/LEGAL), WE ARE PROVIDING YOU WITH TIVO'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND YOUR USE OF TIVO'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIVO AND ITS LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES REGARDING ACCURACY, OPERABILITY, AVAILABILITY, USE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIVO AND ITS LICENSORS, AFFILIATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR: (1) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (EVEN IF TIVO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND/OR SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) ANY TIVO PRODUCT OR SERVICE, OR (2) ANY DIRECT DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF WHAT YOU HAVE PAID TIVO FOR THE TIVO PRODUCT OR SERVICE AT ISSUE OR US $150 (WHICHEVER IS GREATER). THIS IS INTENDED TO APPLY (AND YOU AGREE THAT IT WILL) EVEN UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAUSE ANY EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A TIVO PRODUCT OR SERVICE, PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-877-367-8486. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RESULT AND WISH TO SEEK FURTHER ACTION, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US SHALL BE RESOLVED IN BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT. WE HAVE DESIGNED THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION TO MAKE THE PROCESS AS CONVENIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS (AND US) AS POSSIBLE. THE ARBITRATION PROCESS CAN BE A FASTER, SIMPLER, LESS FORMAL, AND LESS EXPENSIVE ROUTE THAN FILING A LAWSUIT AND GOING TO COURT. IN ARBITRATION, YOU STILL ARE ENTITLED TO A FAIR HEARING, BUT A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR (AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY) WILL DETERMINE YOUR RIGHTS. ARBITRATOR DECISIONS ARE FINAL, AS ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER, AND SUBJECT ONLY TO LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. IF YOU WOULD PREFER NOT TO ARBITRATE, YOU STILL CAN CHOOSE TO BRING A DISPUTE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. MANDATORY ARBITRATION: WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT (AND TIVO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES) EXCLUSIVELY BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION (WITH "DISPUTE" TO BE GIVEN THE BROADEST POSSIBLE MEANING), AND WE EACH AGREE TO GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO HAVE A DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JURY. WE EACH RETAIN THE RIGHT TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO PREVENT (1) THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND (2) ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE, PIRACY OR THEFT.
INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION: WE EACH MUST TRY IN GOOD FAITH FOR 15 DAYS TO RESOLVE INFORMALLY ANY DISPUTE BEFORE STARTING ARBITRATION. A PARTY WHO INTENDS TO INITIATE ARBITRATION MUST FIRST SEND THE OTHER AN EMAIL WITH: (1) A "NOTICE OF DISPUTE" IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF THE EMAIL; AND (2) A REASONABLY DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURE AND BASIS OF THE DISPUTE, AS WELL AS THE RELIEF SOUGHT, IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL. ONLY EMAILS THAT COMPLY WITH THE FOREGOING WILL TRIGGER THE START OF THE 15-DAY INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS. SEND YOUR NOTICE TO DISPUTENOTICE@TIVO.COM, AND WE WILL SEND OURS TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT. A TIVO REPRESENTATIVE WILL CONTACT YOU TO TRY TO INFORMALLY RESOLVE THE DISPUTE. IF WE DO NOT REACH AN AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER THE DATE THE INITIAL NOTICE WAS SENT, THEN EITHER OF US MAY START ARBITRATION IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED BELOW. ARBITRATION PROCESS: THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (AAA) WILL ADMINISTER THE ARBITRATION, USING THE AAA'S CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES. THOSE RULES AND INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO INITIATE ARBITRATION ARE AVAILABLE AT ADR.ORG OR BY CALLING 1-800-778-7879. THE AAA PROVIDES A FORM DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION AND A SEPARATE FORM FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS. UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THE COUNTY WHERE YOU RESIDE. IF THE RELIEF SOUGHT IS $10,000 OR LESS, THE HEARING WILL BE CONDUCTED BY TELEPHONE OR VIDEOCONFERENCE OR BY A SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTS (UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR REQUIRES A FACE-TO-FACE HEARING). ARBITRATOR'S DECISION: THE ARBITRATOR MUST PROVIDE US WITH A BRIEF WRITTEN EXPLANATION OF THE BASIS FOR THE AWARD. IN MAKING THE AWARD, THE ARBITRATOR MUST APPLY ANY PERTINENT CONTRACT TERMS, STATUTES AND LEGAL PRECEDENTS (INCLUDING THE "LIMITATION OF LIABILITY" SECTION ABOVE). THE ARBITRATOR'S AWARD WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING, BUT SUBJECT TO REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATUTES GOVERNING ARBITRATION AWARDS. JUDGMENT ON THE ARBITRATOR'S AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT WITH JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION FEES: IF YOU INITIATE ARBITRATION SEEKING MORE THAN $75,000 IN DAMAGES, THE PAYMENT OF FEES WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA'S RULES. OTHERWISE, WE WILL PAY ALL AAA FILING, ADMINISTRATION, AND ARBITRATOR FEES. IF, HOWEVER, THE ARBITRATOR FINDS THAT EITHER THE SUBSTANCE OF YOUR CLAIM OR THE RELIEF SOUGHT IN THE DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION IS UNREASONABLE OR BROUGHT FOR AN IMPROPER PURPOSE (AS MEASURED BY THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 11(B)), THEN YOU AGREE TO REIMBURSE US FOR AMOUNTS WE PAID ON YOUR BEHALF UNDER THE AAA'S RULES. TIVO WILL NOT SEEK ITS ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS IN ARBITRATION UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THAT YOUR CLAIM IS FRIVOLOUS. OPT-OUT: YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION (OTHER THAN THE "JUDICIAL FORUM" AND "TIME LIMIT FOR DISPUTES" PARAGRAPHS BELOW) BY NOTIFYING TIVO WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE ON WHICH YOU PURCHASE YOUR INITIAL TIVO PRODUCT. YOU MUST DO SO BY WRITING TO TIVO PLATFORM TECHNOLOGIES LLC., 2160 GOLD STREET, SAN JOSE, CA 95002, ATTN.: ARBITRATION OPT-OUT, AND INCLUDING YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, ACCOUNT NUMBER (IF YOU HAVE ONE), AND A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH TIVO THROUGH ARBITRATION. JUDICIAL FORUM: IF (1) YOU OPT-OUT OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION OR (2) AN ARBITRATOR OR COURT FINDS THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN THIS SECTION TO BE INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, THEN: (A) THE ARBITRATION-RELATED PARAGRAPHS SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO APPLY TO YOU; (B) YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE YOU HAVE WITH TIVO EXCLUSIVELY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA; AND (C) YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL AND SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION AND EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF SUCH COURTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATING SUCH DISPUTE. WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE. TIME LIMIT FOR DISPUTES: WE EACH AGREE (REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY) THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE FILED WITHIN 1 YEAR AFTER SUCH DISPUTE AROSE OR ELSE WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. |
Governing Law THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, OTHER APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, IN THE UNITED STATES, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS. This agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. |
Term and Termination
This agreement applies from the date when you accept it and continues until terminated by either of us. We may suspend your account and/or terminate this agreement (1) immediately for your breach of this agreement, or (2) upon 10 business days' prior written notice to you, for any other reason. All sections of this agreement that by their nature should continue (such as the "Dispute Resolution" section) will survive termination.
You may cancel your account or a subscription to the TiVo service by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. Cancellation will not entitle you to any refund (including of any subscription fees) and may be subject to an early termination fee in some cases (see the "Early Termination Fee" section for more details). TiVo reserves the right to collect fees, surcharges and costs incurred prior to the cancellation of any account or subscription. You acknowledge that cancelling your account or subscription may cause your TiVo products to no longer function.
Changes to this Agreement
We need the flexibility to update this agreement from time to time as our business changes. If we make changes that restrict your rights, we will notify you at least 15 days in advance (to give you time to review the changes and cancel your account if you do not want to be bound by the revised version, although we certainly hope you do not cancel your account). By continuing to use TiVo products after changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised version of this agreement. If we make changes to the dispute resolution provision, then: (1) such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the changes become effective; and (2) if such changes to the dispute resolution provision restrict your rights, you will have 30 days (from our notification to you) to opt-out of the modified dispute resolution provision (other than the "Judicial forum" and "Time limit for disputes" paragraphs above) by adhering to each of the requirements of the "Opt-out" paragraph above.
General Legal Terms

Assignment: You may not assign or transfer this agreement (or any of your rights or obligations under this agreement) without TiVo's prior written consent; any attempted assignment or transfer without complying with the foregoing will be void.

Export: TiVo products are subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations and must be purchased, sold, exported, re-exported, transferred, and used in compliance with such export laws and regulations.

Third-Party Beneficiaries: This agreement does not confer any third-party beneficiary rights (except with respect to Apple, as described below).
Waiver: No waiver of any term or breach of this agreement will constitute a waiver of any other term or breach.
Severability: If any provision of this agreement is found to be unenforceable, such unenforceability will not render this agreement unenforceable and, in such event, such provision is to be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable provision within the limits of applicable law.

BY CLICKING ON "I AGREE" OR SIMILAR BUTTON, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE PARTS ABOUT ARBITRATING ANY DISPUTES, WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION (where applicable).
A few things to note:
- When we refer to "TiVo products" in this policy, we mean any device, software, or website (and services related thereto) offered by TiVo (including TiVo DVRs, the TiVo Stream 4K, the TiVo Mini, the TiVo Stream, TiVo software applications, and TiVo Online (online.tivo.com)).
- When we say "you" in this policy, we mean both you and any other individuals you let use your TiVo device, software, or account.
- TiVo products provided to you directly by your cable or satellite provider are subject to their terms of use (and not this agreement).
Accounts
To create an account with us, you must be (1) a resident of the continental United States, Alaska, or Hawaii; (2) the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and (3) creating an account for yourself (and not for a business or entity). You are responsible for all charges on your account, so we suggest picking a strong password and not sharing it with others.
Use of TiVo Products
TiVo products are intended for your personal, non-public, and non-commercial use.
TiVo grants you a personal, non-commercial, and non-exclusive license to (1) access and use our websites, (2) install and use our software applications on devices that you own or control, (3) use software that is embedded in (or downloaded to) TiVo hardware products, and (4) access and use our hosted services using authorized TiVo products.
In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement, TiVo reserves the right to modify or terminate your account, any granted licenses, or access to any TiVo product or service if, in TiVo’s determination, you are violating this agreement or any laws or regulations, including but not limited to engaging in inappropriate or demeaning behavior towards any TiVo customer, employee or other third party.
Features and functionality are subject to change. We reserve the right to determine the timing and content of software updates, which may be automatically downloaded and installed by TiVo products without prior notice to you.
Some notes about your use of TiVo products:
- Some TiVo products require a subscription to the TiVo service, seeTiVo Service Subscriptions below for details.
- Our Privacy Policy governs the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.
- We do not endorse or warrant the performance of any included third-party apps or advertised third-party products or services.
- Your use of included third-party apps is subject to the terms of use and privacy policy of the app provider (which we suggest you read).
- You are responsible for any charges related to your use of a TiVo product (such as charges for broadband Internet, wireless data, or pay-per-view content) – so be careful if you give others access to the remote or your account password.
- Some TiVo products have enhanced functionality based upon third-party apps or services which may require a separate subscription payment to a third-party. In some instances, these charges will be managed by TiVo but your account, account terms and conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party irrespective of whether TiVo manages the payments on your behalf.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 12 TiVo set-top boxes (DVRs or TiVo Minis) and 10 TiVo soft devices (“TiVo soft devices” are the TiVo Stream 4K or TiVo mobile application per device) on the same Tivo.com account.
Some TiVo DVRs may let you stream or download your recorded content to your mobile devices. The following restrictions apply to streaming/downloading your recorded content from a TiVo DVR:
- You may sync a maximum number of 10 mobile devices.
- You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (i.e., no using your neighbor's iPad).
Due to the copy protection assigned by the content provider, not all recorded content can be downloaded, and some recorded content can only be streamed and/or downloaded while your mobile device is on the same local network as your TiVo DVR. Terms and conditions of any cloud-based DVR services that may be available via third parties (such as your service provider or third-party subscription service) are governed by the terms of service with that provider and not TiVo. When using our products and services, you may not do any of the following (except to the extent permitted by applicable law): (1) modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, structure, design, or method of operation of software that we provide to you, (2) modify, disassemble, or otherwise tamper with any TiVo hardware, (3) disguise the place of your residence or the location of your use, (4) attempt to circumvent technological measures or gain unauthorized access through hacking, password mining or any other means, or (5) modify, distribute, sell, or show to the public, for compensation or otherwise, any program recorded using any TiVo products.
TiVo products may have features which including geo-fencing or other geographic restrictions on use. You may not attempt to subvert these geographic restrictions.
Certain TiVo products require a TiVo service subscription, and we currently offer three service plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (Please Note: the All-In Plan replaced the Product Lifetime Service subscription offered in prior versions of this agreement.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby the TiVo service is explicitly (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo product (for example, TiVo service is included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo Mini) or (2) shared between or among more than one TiVo product, a separate TiVo service subscription is required for each TiVo product. Visit tivo.com for current rates and offers.
Some notes about TiVo service subscriptions:
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of any TiVo product or service. We reserve the right to determine the timing and content of software updates, which may be automatically downloaded and installed by TiVo products without prior notice to you.
- Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other recurring) TiVo service subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, your subscription automatically will renew (on a month-to-month basis for a monthly TiVo service subscription, or on a year-to-year basis for an annual TiVo service subscription, or such other periodic term as designated in your subscription) at the end of each subscription term, at the same service fee (even if you are not using the TiVo device or it has been lost, sold, or otherwise transferred).
- Monthly, annual or other periodic TiVo service subscriptions may not be transferred to another TiVo device or subscriber.
- With a new All-In Plan subscription: (a) you pay just once (rather than monthly, annually, or in some other frequency) for your TiVo service subscription, (b) your subscription lasts for as long as your TiVo device is operational (or until TiVo discontinues support for your device, whichever comes first), and (c) you cannot transfer your subscription to another TiVo device (except in cases of warranty repair or replacement under applicable warranty terms).
- An All-In Plan subscription accompanies the TiVo device in case of ownership transfer.
- With an All-In Plan, you receive those TiVo service features that we make generally available to all customers who have activated a TiVo service subscription for that same TiVo product, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. You may incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo service. In addition, TiVo reserves the right to subsequently release, and to charge separate amounts for, new features or functionality which are not made generally available to all customers who have activated TiVo service on a particular TiVo product.
- Although we strive to make the TiVo service available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).
Early Termination Fees We sometimes offer discounted rates for TiVo products and/or TiVo service subscriptions when you agree to subscribe to the TiVo service for a minimum commitment term (such as 1 year). If you cancel your subscription to the TiVo service before the end of your minimum commitment term, you agree to pay us the applicable early termination fee (unless you cancel during our 30-day money-back guarantee period). |
TiVo Stream 4K Service
- TiVo Stream 4K service features will include those that we make generally available to all customers who have purchased a TiVo Stream 4K device, except as otherwise noted by TiVo. There is not an ongoing monthly or annual service subscription charge for the TiVo Stream 4K service. However, many of the functionalities of TiVo Stream 4K are based upon third-party subscriptions services and you will incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo Stream 4K service. Even if some of these third-party charges may be managed by TiVo on your behalf, your account, account terms, conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party and such third-party services are not part of the TiVo Stream 4K service.
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice. TiVo is not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any feature or component of the TiVo Stream 4K product. We reserve the right to determine the timing and content of software updates, which may be automatically downloaded and installed by TiVo products without prior notice to you.
- Service to TiVo Stream 4K devices is provided at the sole discretion of TiVo. No upgrades are guaranteed as part of the TiVo Stream 4K device. Although we strive to make TiVo Stream 4K service available as much as possible, there may be periods of downtime (for example, for scheduled maintenance, software updates, or events outside of our reasonable control).
TiVo.com Orders
We sell and ship only to individuals within the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii. We will send you an email confirming when you placed your order, and we may pre-authorize the amount of your order on your credit card (and note that this email confirming the placement of your order will not signify our acceptance of your order and will not constitute confirmation of our offer to sell). We will also send you an email confirming your order only once your order ships (which is when we will charge your credit card).
We reserve the right (without liability) to (1) accept or decline your order for any reason (including if we suspect you are ordering products for resale, or if our product inventory is insufficient to satisfy your order), (2) supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item, (3) change prices for products displayed on tivo.com at any time, (4) correct inadvertent pricing or product/service information errors, and (5) charge your credit card on file a 15% restocking fee for orders that are refused at the shipping address designated for your account at the time of purchase.
30-day Money-Back Guarantee

Returns
We only accept returns for refunds within 30 days of purchase from www.tivo.com. Products purchased through third-party retailers must be returned to the third party in accordance with their respective returns and refunds policy.
Limited Warranties
TiVo hardware products (including TiVo DVRs, TiVo Stream 4K, and TiVo Minis) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal. We do not offer warranties on third-party products sold on tivo.com but look in the documentation or on the packaging for information on any warranty they may offer and contact the manufacturer directly if you have any questions or concerns.
Payment Terms
When you provide credit card information to us, you represent that you are the authorized user of the card and agree to notify us of any changes to the relevant account number, expiration date, and billing address, or if the card expires or is canceled. You agree that we may receive updated credit card information (such as a new expiration date) from your credit card issuer.
We will charge your credit card (as applicable) when (a) your order ships, (b) on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription or third party applications or services you authorize us to bill on your behalf, (c) when you authorize purchases through your TiVo devices including third party applications and services that enable TiVo to bill on your behalf, (d) at the time of purchase for third party applications and services, and (e) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees including where applicable such fees associated with third parties we are billing on your behalf. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy. If you believe that there is an inaccuracy, you have 90-days to notify TiVo. If you do not contact TiVo within 90-days of the disputed billing date, TiVo will not be responsible for any billing errors. In the event the dispute is based on a charge or fee that TiVo is billing on your behalf to a third party, you must contact the third party merchant directly to dispute any charges, TiVo is not authorized to negotiate these disputes on your behalf.
For subscriptions or fees, including all recurring third-party applications or services that you authorize us to bill on your behalf, your TiVo service subscription (unless you have an All-In Plan subscription) or applicable recurring third party service or application fees (“Third Party Recurring Fee”) will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable). You hereby authorize us to automatically charge any subscription fee or Third Party Recurring Fee to your credit card each billing date until you (i) cancel your TiVo service subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or by visiting tivo.com, and/or (ii) cancel any third-party applications in accordance with the applicable Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms {Please note: such payment terms may differ for each third-party application so unless you are able to access this feature in your tivo.com account, you will need to contact the third-party provider of such services for details on cancellation}. Regardless of the type or length of your TiVo service subscription, subscription fees paid prior to cancellation are nonrefundable in any amount (subject only to our 30-day Money Back Guarantee). Terms and conditions for Third Party Recurring Fees are not governed by TiVo, please contact the third party for details.
Some notes about payments:
- By subscribing to the TiVo service or Third-Party Recurring Fee, you authorize us to charge the applicable TiVo service fees or third-party fees (and any other applicable fees, such as an early termination fee) to your credit card on file.
- If your credit card reaches its expiration date and you have not updated your payment information with us or cancelled your account, you authorize us to continue billing your credit card and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
- Each charge on the applicable billing date applies to the period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly TiVo service subscription in January is for the TiVo service in the month of February). Third Party Recurring Fee payment terms may differ – please contact the third-party provider of such services for details.
- Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some jurisdictions, the tax will be based on the MSRP for the product (and not the discounted price you paid).
- All prices on tivo.com are listed in U.S. Dollars (or Canadian Dollars on TiVo.com/ca)
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your subscription to the TiVo service without notice if your credit card is rejected or if your card issuer seeks the return of payments previously made to us. You agree to pay (i) any outstanding balance in full within 30 days of cancellation, and (ii) a late charge on all amounts more than 30 days past due. The late charge will be 1.5% of the past due amount or the highest rate allowed by law (whichever is less) per month. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal right or remedies available to TiVo. These conditions may apply to Third Party Recurring Fees, please contact the third-party application or service provider for details.
We also reserve the right to refer your account to a third party for collection to pursue unpaid amounts, and you will remain liable to us for all unpaid charges and all the costs we incur to collect those charges (such as collection agency fees).

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
NOT APPLICABLE IN SASKATCHEWAN
EXCEPT FOR ANY TIVO PRODUCTS FOR WHICH WE PROVIDE A WRITTEN WARRANTY (WHICH YOU CAN FIND AT TIVO.COM/LEGAL), WE ARE PROVIDING YOU WITH TIVO'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND YOUR USE OF TIVO'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIVO AND ITS LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES REGARDING ACCURACY, OPERABILITY, AVAILABILITY, USE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIVO AND ITS LICENSORS, AFFILIATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR: (1) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (EVEN IF TIVO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND/OR SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) ANY TIVO PRODUCT OR SERVICE, OR (2) ANY DIRECT DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF WHAT YOU HAVE PAID TIVO FOR THE TIVO PRODUCT OR SERVICE AT ISSUE OR US $150 (WHICHEVER IS GREATER). THIS IS INTENDED TO APPLY (AND YOU AGREE THAT IT WILL) EVEN UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAUSE ANY EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A TIVO PRODUCT OR SERVICE, PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-877-367-8486. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RESULT AND WISH TO SEEK FURTHER ACTION, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US SHALL BE RESOLVED IN BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT. WE HAVE DESIGNED THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION TO MAKE THE PROCESS AS CONVENIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS (AND US) AS POSSIBLE. THE ARBITRATION PROCESS CAN BE A FASTER, SIMPLER, LESS FORMAL, AND LESS EXPENSIVE ROUTE THAN FILING A LAWSUIT AND GOING TO COURT. IN ARBITRATION, YOU STILL ARE ENTITLED TO A FAIR HEARING, BUT A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR (AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY) WILL DETERMINE YOUR RIGHTS. ARBITRATOR DECISIONS ARE FINAL, AS ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER, AND SUBJECT ONLY TO LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. IF YOU WOULD PREFER NOT TO ARBITRATE, YOU STILL CAN CHOOSE TO BRING A DISPUTE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. MANDATORY ARBITRATION: WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT (AND TIVO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES) EXCLUSIVELY BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION (WITH "DISPUTE" TO BE GIVEN THE BROADEST POSSIBLE MEANING), AND WE EACH AGREE TO GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO HAVE A DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JURY. WE EACH RETAIN THE RIGHT TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO PREVENT (1) THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND (2) ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE, PIRACY OR THEFT.
INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION: WE EACH MUST TRY IN GOOD FAITH FOR 15 DAYS TO RESOLVE INFORMALLY ANY DISPUTE BEFORE STARTING ARBITRATION. A PARTY WHO INTENDS TO INITIATE ARBITRATION MUST FIRST SEND THE OTHER AN EMAIL WITH: (1) A "NOTICE OF DISPUTE" IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF THE EMAIL; AND (2) A REASONABLY DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURE AND BASIS OF THE DISPUTE, AS WELL AS THE RELIEF SOUGHT, IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL. ONLY EMAILS THAT COMPLY WITH THE FOREGOING WILL TRIGGER THE START OF THE 15-DAY INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS. SEND YOUR NOTICE TO DISPUTENOTICE@TIVO.COM, AND WE WILL SEND OURS TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT. A TIVO REPRESENTATIVE WILL CONTACT YOU TO TRY TO INFORMALLY RESOLVE THE DISPUTE. IF WE DO NOT REACH AN AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER THE DATE THE INITIAL NOTICE WAS SENT, THEN EITHER OF US MAY START ARBITRATION IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED BELOW. ARBITRATION PROCESS: THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (AAA) WILL ADMINISTER THE ARBITRATION, USING THE AAA'S CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES. THOSE RULES AND INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO INITIATE ARBITRATION ARE AVAILABLE AT ADR.ORG OR BY CALLING 1-800-778-7879. THE AAA PROVIDES A FORM DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION AND A SEPARATE FORM FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS. UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THE COUNTY WHERE YOU RESIDE. IF THE RELIEF SOUGHT IS $10,000 OR LESS, THE HEARING WILL BE CONDUCTED BY TELEPHONE OR VIDEOCONFERENCE OR BY A SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTS (UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR REQUIRES A FACE-TO-FACE HEARING). ARBITRATOR'S DECISION: THE ARBITRATOR MUST PROVIDE US WITH A BRIEF WRITTEN EXPLANATION OF THE BASIS FOR THE AWARD. IN MAKING THE AWARD, THE ARBITRATOR MUST APPLY ANY PERTINENT CONTRACT TERMS, STATUTES AND LEGAL PRECEDENTS (INCLUDING THE "LIMITATION OF LIABILITY" SECTION ABOVE). THE ARBITRATOR'S AWARD WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING, BUT SUBJECT TO REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATUTES GOVERNING ARBITRATION AWARDS. JUDGMENT ON THE ARBITRATOR'S AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT WITH JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION FEES: IF YOU INITIATE ARBITRATION SEEKING MORE THAN $75,000 IN DAMAGES, THE PAYMENT OF FEES WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA'S RULES. OTHERWISE, WE WILL PAY ALL AAA FILING, ADMINISTRATION, AND ARBITRATOR FEES. IF, HOWEVER, THE ARBITRATOR FINDS THAT EITHER THE SUBSTANCE OF YOUR CLAIM OR THE RELIEF SOUGHT IN THE DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION IS UNREASONABLE OR BROUGHT FOR AN IMPROPER PURPOSE (AS MEASURED BY THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 11(B)), THEN YOU AGREE TO REIMBURSE US FOR AMOUNTS WE PAID ON YOUR BEHALF UNDER THE AAA'S RULES. TIVO WILL NOT SEEK ITS ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS IN ARBITRATION UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THAT YOUR CLAIM IS FRIVOLOUS. OPT-OUT: YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION (OTHER THAN THE "JUDICIAL FORUM" AND "TIME LIMIT FOR DISPUTES" PARAGRAPHS BELOW) BY NOTIFYING TIVO WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE ON WHICH YOU PURCHASE YOUR INITIAL TIVO PRODUCT. YOU MUST DO SO BY WRITING TO TIVO PLATFORM TECHNOLOGIES LLC., 2160 GOLD STREET, SAN JOSE, CA 95002, ATTN.: ARBITRATION OPT-OUT, AND INCLUDING YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, ACCOUNT NUMBER (IF YOU HAVE ONE), AND A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH TIVO THROUGH ARBITRATION. JUDICIAL FORUM: IF (1) YOU OPT-OUT OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION OR (2) AN ARBITRATOR OR COURT FINDS THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN THIS SECTION TO BE INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, THEN: (A) THE ARBITRATION-RELATED PARAGRAPHS SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO APPLY TO YOU; (B) YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE YOU HAVE WITH TIVO EXCLUSIVELY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA; AND (C) YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL AND SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION AND EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF SUCH COURTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATING SUCH DISPUTE. WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE. TIME LIMIT FOR DISPUTES: WE EACH AGREE (REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY) THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE FILED WITHIN 1 YEAR AFTER SUCH DISPUTE AROSE OR ELSE WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. |
Governing Law THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, OTHER APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, IN THE UNITED STATES, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS. This agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. |
Term and Termination
This agreement applies from the date when you accept it and continues until terminated by either of us. We may suspend your account and/or terminate this agreement (1) immediately for your breach of this agreement, or (2) upon 10 business days' prior written notice to you, for any other reason. All sections of this agreement that by their nature should continue (such as the "Dispute Resolution" section) will survive termination.
You may cancel your account or a subscription to the TiVo service by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. Cancellation will not entitle you to any refund (including of any subscription fees) and may be subject to an early termination fee in some cases (see the "Early Termination Fee" section for more details). TiVo reserves the right to collect fees, surcharges and costs incurred prior to the cancellation of any account or subscription. You acknowledge that cancelling your account or subscription may cause your TiVo products to no longer function.
Changes to this Agreement
We need the flexibility to update this agreement from time to time as our business changes. If we make changes that restrict your rights, we will notify you at least 15 days in advance (to give you time to review the changes and cancel your account if you do not want to be bound by the revised version, although we certainly hope you do not cancel your account). By continuing to use TiVo products after changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised version of this agreement. If we make changes to the dispute resolution provision, then: (1) such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the changes become effective; and (2) if such changes to the dispute resolution provision restrict your rights, you will have 30 days (from our notification to you) to opt-out of the modified dispute resolution provision (other than the "Judicial forum" and "Time limit for disputes" paragraphs above) by adhering to each of the requirements of the "Opt-out" paragraph above.
General Legal Terms
Additional Terms: Additional or different terms may apply to certain TiVo products, and if so, we will ask you to agree to those terms separately.
Assignment: You may not assign or transfer this agreement (or any of your rights or obligations under this agreement) without TiVo's prior written consent; any attempted assignment or transfer without complying with the foregoing will be void. TiVo may freely assign or transfer this agreement. This agreement inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the parties and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
Electronic Communications: You consent to receive communications from TiVo by email and acknowledge that all notices and other communications that TiVo provides to you electronically via email to the address associated with your account will satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You also agree and consent to using electronic signatures and/or electronic consent for any agreements, including but not limited to this User Agreement, TiVo’s Privacy Policy, or any other agreement or consent between the parties, during your relationship with TiVo.
Export: TiVo products are subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations and must be purchased, sold, exported, re-exported, transferred, and used in compliance with such export laws and regulations. You represent that you are not (1) located in a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (2) listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Government End-Users: Any TiVo software and related documentation are "Commercial Items," as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101, consisting of "Commercial Computer Software" and "Commercial Computer Software Documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202 (as applicable). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (as applicable), the Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation are being licensed to U.S. government end users (1) only as Commercial Items, and (2) with only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to this agreement.

Third-Party Beneficiaries: This agreement does not confer any third-party beneficiary rights (except with respect to Apple, as described below).
Waiver: No waiver of any term or breach of this agreement will constitute a waiver of any other term or breach.
Severability: If any provision of this agreement is found to be unenforceable, such unenforceability will not render this agreement unenforceable and, in such event, such provision is to be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable provision within the limits of applicable law.
Additional Apple Terms

In some instances, these charges will be managed by TiVo but your account, account terms and conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party irrespective of whether TiVo manages the payments on your behalf.
- You may sync a maximum number of 10 mobile devices.
- You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (i.e., no using your neighbor's iPad).

Even if some of these third-party charges may be managed by TiVo on your behalf, your account, account terms, conditions, and disputes related thereto shall be between you and the third-party and such third-party services are not part of the TiVo Stream 4K service.
- TiVo reserves the right to discontinue previously offered features or functionality at its sole discretion and without prior notice.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION If you have an issue with a TiVo product or service, please call customer service at 1-877-367-8486. If you are not satisfied with the result and wish to seek further action, all disputes between us shall be resolved in binding arbitration or small claims court. We have designed this dispute resolution provision to make the process as convenient and cost-effective for our customers (and us) as possible. The arbitration process can be a faster, simpler, less formal, and less expensive route than filing a lawsuit and going to court. In arbitration, you still are entitled to a fair hearing, but a neutral arbitrator (and not a judge or jury) will determine your rights. Arbitrator decisions are final, as enforceable as any court order, and subject only to limited review by a court. If you would prefer not to arbitrate, you still can choose to bring a dispute in small claims court. Mandatory arbitration: We each agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or related in any way to this agreement (and TiVo products or services) exclusively by individual binding arbitration (with "dispute" to be given the broadest possible meaning), and we each agree to give up the right to have a dispute decided by a jury. We each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent (1) the actual or threatened infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights and (2) any unauthorized use, piracy or theft.
Informal dispute resolution: We each must try in good faith for 15 days to resolve informally any dispute before starting arbitration. A party who intends to initiate arbitration must first send the other an email with: (1) a "Notice of Dispute" in the subject line of the email; and (2) a reasonably detailed description of the nature and basis of the dispute, as well as the relief sought, in the body of the email. Only emails that comply with the foregoing will trigger the start of the 15-day informal dispute resolution process. Send your notice to disputenotice@tivo.com, and we will send ours to the email address associated with your account. A TiVo representative will contact you to try to informally resolve the dispute. If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the dispute within 15 days after the date the initial notice was sent, then either of us may start arbitration in the manner described below. Arbitration process: The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration, using the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. Those rules and information about how to initiate arbitration are available at adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration and a separate form for California residents. Unless we each agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If the relief sought is $10,000 or less, the hearing will be conducted by telephone or videoconference or by a submission of documents (unless the arbitrator requires a face-to-face hearing). Arbitrator's decision: The arbitrator must provide us with a brief written explanation of the basis for the award. In making the award, the arbitrator must apply any pertinent contract terms, statutes and legal precedents (including the "Limitation of Liability" section above). The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, but subject to review in accordance with applicable statutes governing arbitration awards. Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. Arbitration fees: If you initiate arbitration seeking more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. Otherwise, we will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand for arbitration is unreasonable or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then you agree to reimburse us for amounts we paid on your behalf under the AAA's rules. TiVo will not seek its attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous. Opt-out: You may opt-out of this dispute resolution provision (other than the "Judicial forum" and "Time limit for disputes" paragraphs below) by notifying TiVo within 30 days of the date on which you purchase your initial TiVo product. You must do so by writing to TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn.: Arbitration Opt-Out, and including your name, address, account number (if you have one), and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with TiVo through arbitration. Judicial forum: If (1) you opt-out of this dispute resolution provision or (2) an arbitrator or court finds the class action waiver in this section to be invalid or unenforceable, then: (a) the arbitration-related paragraphs shall be deemed not to apply to you; (b) you agree to resolve any dispute you have with TiVo exclusively in a state or federal court located in Santa Clara County, California; and (c) you agree to submit to the exclusive personal and subject matter jurisdiction and exclusive venue of such courts for the purpose of litigating such dispute. We each waive any right to a jury trial in any such dispute. Time limit for disputes: We each agree (regardless of any statute or law to the contrary) that any dispute must be filed within 1 year after such dispute arose or else will be forever barred. |

DISPUTE RESOLUTION If you have an issue with a TiVo product or service, please call customer service at 1-877-367-8486. If you are not satisfied with the result and wish to seek further action, all disputes between us shall be resolved in binding arbitration or small claims court. We have designed this dispute resolution provision to make the process as convenient and cost-effective for our customers (and us) as possible. The arbitration process can be a faster, simpler, less formal, and less expensive route than filing a lawsuit and going to court. In arbitration, you still are entitled to a fair hearing, but a neutral arbitrator (and not a judge or jury) will determine your rights. Arbitrator decisions are final, as enforceable as any court order, and subject only to limited review by a court. If you would prefer not to arbitrate, you still can choose to bring a dispute in small claims court. Mandatory arbitration: We each agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or related in any way to this agreement (and TiVo products or services) exclusively by individual binding arbitration (with "dispute" to be given the broadest possible meaning), and we each agree to give up the right to have a dispute decided by a jury. We each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent (1) the actual or threatened infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights and (2) any unauthorized use, piracy or theft.
Informal dispute resolution: We each must try in good faith for 15 days to resolve informally any dispute before starting arbitration. A party who intends to initiate arbitration must first send the other an email with: (1) a "Notice of Dispute" in the subject line of the email; and (2) a reasonably detailed description of the nature and basis of the dispute, as well as the relief sought, in the body of the email. Only emails that comply with the foregoing will trigger the start of the 15-day informal dispute resolution process. Send your notice to disputenotice@tivo.com, and we will send ours to the email address associated with your account. A TiVo representative will contact you to try to informally resolve the dispute. If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the dispute within 15 days after the date the initial notice was sent, then either of us may start arbitration in the manner described below. Arbitration process: The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration, using the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. Those rules and information about how to initiate arbitration are available at adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration and a separate form for California residents. Unless we each agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If the relief sought is $10,000 or less, the hearing will be conducted by telephone or videoconference or by a submission of documents (unless the arbitrator requires a face-to-face hearing). Arbitrator's decision: The arbitrator must provide us with a brief written explanation of the basis for the award. In making the award, the arbitrator must apply any pertinent contract terms, statutes and legal precedents (including the "Limitation of Liability" section above). The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, but subject to review in accordance with applicable statutes governing arbitration awards. Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. Arbitration fees: If you initiate arbitration seeking more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. Otherwise, we will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand for arbitration is unreasonable or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then you agree to reimburse us for amounts we paid on your behalf under the AAA's rules. TiVo will not seek its attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous. Opt-out: You may opt-out of this dispute resolution provision (other than the "Judicial forum" and "Time limit for disputes" paragraphs below) by notifying TiVo within 30 days of the date on which you purchase your initial TiVo product. You must do so by writing to TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn.: Arbitration Opt-Out, and including your name, address, account number (if you have one), and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with TiVo through arbitration. Judicial forum: If (1) you opt-out of this dispute resolution provision or (2) an arbitrator or court finds the class action waiver in this section to be invalid or unenforceable, then: (a) the arbitration-related paragraphs shall be deemed not to apply to you; (b) you agree to resolve any dispute you have with TiVo exclusively in a state or federal court located in Santa Clara County, California; and (c) you agree to submit to the exclusive personal and subject matter jurisdiction and exclusive venue of such courts for the purpose of litigating such dispute. We each waive any right to a jury trial in any such dispute. Time limit for disputes: We each agree (regardless of any statute or law to the contrary) that any dispute must be filed within 1 year after such dispute arose or else will be forever barred. |
Governing Law THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, OTHER APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS.

- You may sync a maximum number of 12 mobile devices.

You may incur separate charges for certain third-party content, services or applications; these items are not considered part of the TiVo service. In addition, TiVo reserves the right to subsequently release, and to charge separate amounts for, new features or functionality which are not made generally available to all customers who have activated TiVo service on a particular TiVo product.

When you sign up for a TiVo provided service or activate a TiVo product, you create a user profile that includes the following information: your name, street address, city, state, zip code, email address(s), phone number(s) including mobile, your credit card information (although we use secure tokens to reduce risk and cannot see your entire card number). In order to process payments for Third Party Applications (e.g., Prime Video, Hulu, Google Play Store), we may share this information with third parties as requested by you consenting to purchase and use such Third-Party Applications. We may also provide this information to service providers as necessary to provide you with TiVo services.

This information may be provided to service providers to provide you with TiVo services.
Voice
When you activate a TiVo voice-activated remote control, we will also collect and process your voice recordings only when you are holding down the voice activation button on the TiVo Remote Control. This voice recording is then processed into text by us and/or our trusted service provider(s) and processed and analyzed by TiVo to provide you with the proper search results, suggestions, and other personalization.
Third Party Application Data
You may integrate your TiVo account with certain third-party applications, websites, products or services (“Third-Party Applications”). These Third-Party Applications may have their own terms and conditions of use and privacy policies and your use of these Third-Party Applications will be governed by and subject to such terms and conditions and privacy policies. In order to enable this functionality, you will be prompted to allow such Third-Party Applications to connect with your TiVo product or account. Once you have enabled this functionality, TiVo will collect, process, and share data with the Third-Party Application that you have authorized. If you enable your TiVo account with any Third-Party Applications, we may receive information related to your interactions with TiVo products or services through the Third-Party Application, as well as information about your publicly available activity on the Third-Party Application or information you have consented for the Third-Party Application to share with TiVo.

Information we collect from your account on a Third-Party Application with your consent may include data about you and your friends from that service (such as what you or they have liked or shared). We may use cookies and other technologies to collect this information; you can learn more about such use in the Cookies and Similar Technologies section of this Privacy Policy.

From time to time, we may offer you the opportunity to participate in promotions such as sweepstakes, contests, offers, and/or surveys (“Promotional Offers”).

In some instances, we provide or sell hashed anonymized user data to advertisers and service providers to assist us in marketing products and services. We use anonymous identifiers and household level matching in most instances to receive and match this information.

You acknowledge and consent that TiVo may make public any information, including Personal Information, that you post to areas that may be viewed by other users or the public and that we may display this content on any of the TiVo products or services and further distribute it to a wider audience through Third Party Applications.
Please note that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, including persons who may be acting under false pretenses.

You can set your Viewership Data Sharing preferences in the My Account section as depicted below:

Where permitted by applicable law, we provide advertising companies and other business associates with Personal Information, as well as other information that does not directly identify you. The Third-Party advertisers and business associates may use that information in combination with other data that may or may not be related to you in order to assist in targeting advertising, promotions, products, or services.

When you activate a TiVo device, the device default setting is opted-in for targeted ads and personalization based upon your interests and data collection from your usage of the TiVo products. You have a right to opt out of these targeted ads and personalization and remove your consent for such personalization.

Non-Personal, De-Identified, or Product-Level Information
We may create non-personal, de-identified, or product level records (“De-Identified Data”) from Personal Information by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data identifiable to you. Once we create De-Identified Data, this De-Identified Data is our property.

Additionally, your browser may offer tools to limit the use of cookies or to delete cookies; however, if you use these tools, our Site may not function as intended.

Accordingly, some of your Personal Information may be used by us and our affiliates, subsidiaries and our suppliers who may be located in countries outside the country where you are located for the purposes outlined in this policy. The data protection laws in these countries may not offer the same level of protection as those in the country where you are located. For example, information collected within the European Economic Area (EEA) may be transferred and processed by third parties, located in a country outside of the EEA, where you may have fewer legal rights in relation to your information.

When TiVo transfers your Personal Information to recipients in other countries, we will protect that Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy, our EEA Privacy Policy, and in our other policies and procedures. If you are located in the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area (“EEA”), or the United Kingdom (“UK”), or we otherwise receive your Personal Information in the U.S. from those jurisdictions for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, TiVo relies on the legal mechanisms of the European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses, Privacy Shield (if applicable) or your consent (in limited circumstances) to secure the transfer of your Personal Information from these areas to a non-affiliated country.
Privacy Shield Principles Xperi self certifies and commits to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, as described in our Privacy Shield Policy, but we no longer rely on those Frameworks for its transfers of Personal Data from the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom (“UK”) to the US. The following Xperi affiliates and subsidiaries participate with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework:

The appropriate statutory body with jurisdiction to investigate any claims against Xperi Inc. regarding possible unfair or deceptive practices and violations of laws or regulations covering privacy is the Federal Trade Commission. Instead, at this time, Xperi relies on legal mechanisms such as the European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses or your consent (in limited circumstances) for such transfers. Onward Transfer Since we share Personal Data with vendors and/or third parties (“Processors”) as specified above, we comply with the notice and choice principles as outlined in this Privacy Policy. We take reasonable steps designed to confirm that the vendor and/or third party processes the Personal Data we transfer to it in a manner consistent with the obligations we have as a participant under the Privacy Shield Principles.

How long we retain your information, including voice data, depends on why we collected it and how we use it. We will not retain your Personal Information for longer than is necessary for our business purposes or for legal requirements. When no longer required, we will destroy, erase or de-identify the information. Legal requirements may necessitate that we retain some or all of the Personal Information we hold for a period of time that is longer than we might otherwise hold it. You may ask that your Personal Information be deleted (see Deleting your Data above).
Security of Your Information
We use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of Personal Information, including appropriate technological, organizational and physical safeguards. We store Personal Information in electronic and physical files that are secure, and our security measures include secure on-site and off-site storage. We conduct audits and monitor compliance with our privacy practices.
However, due to the design of the Internet, ever-changing technology and other factors outside of our control, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and our servers will be free from unauthorized access by third parties or that we will not be subject to security breaches.

User Consent or Direction
We may disclose or share, including sale, your Personal Information with your permission or at your direction (e.g., when you authorize a Third-Party Application to access your account). Based on your permissions, Personal Information may be shared with others through Third Party Applications. If you connect your TiVo account to a Third-Party Application, TiVo may automatically share your activity and actions-relation to a TiVo product or service with that Third Party Application, including the content you view.
You understand and agree that a Third-Party Application’s use of information collected from you (or as authorized by you) is governed by the Third-Party Application’s privacy policy and your account or use settings with the Third-Party Application.
You also have the right to decide if you want your viewing data tracked within your TiVo product use, if you would like a “do not track” flag to be placed on your device so that your device and Personal Information is not to be used for personalized advertisement or analysis by service providers, and you also have the right at your discretion to reset your mobile and device advertising IDs which can help reduce the amount of data that can be collected on you.
Marketing and Advertising
Where permitted by applicable law, we provide advertising companies and other business associates with Personal Information, as well as other information that does not directly identify you. The Third-Party advertisers and business associates may use that information in combination with other data that may or may not be related to you in order to assist in targeting advertising, promotions, products, or services. We also provide our service providers with information which allows them to serve you advertisements. In some instances, this may be an advertisement tailored based upon your household information.
When you activate a TiVo device, the device default setting is opted-in for targeted ads and personalization based upon your interests and data collection from your usage of the TiVo products. You have a right to opt out of these targeted ads and personalization and remove your consent for such personalization. You can update this preference in your TiVo account under the “Contact Info” then “Settings & Privacy” menu as shown below. This setting is applied to your account and the changes apply to all devices associated with your account.
Service Providers and Third Parties
We engage service providers to perform functions and provide services to us in the United States and other countries. We use a variety of service providers to help TiVo provide its products and services and to help us understand and improve the use of TiVo products and services. We may share or sell your Personal Information to such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Law and Harm
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, we may preserve or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect our or our users’ rights or property (where permitted by law). The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or objection that you may be entitled to raise to a third party’s, including a government’s, request to disclose your information.
Business Transfers and Affiliates
In the event that we are involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. We may also disclose information about you to our corporate affiliates in order to help provide, understand, and improve our and our affiliates’ products and services.
Non-Personal, De-Identified, or Product-Level Information
We may create non-personal, de-identified, or product level records (“De-Identified Data”) from Personal Information by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data identifiable to you. Once we create De-Identified Data, this De-Identified Data is our property. We use this De-Identified Data in many ways including analyzing request and usage patterns, creating reports and performing analytics so that we may enhance the content of our products and services (or those of a third party), improve navigation, and provide meaningful analysis of habits, usage, trends, and effectiveness of marketing campaigns etc. as part of our analytics and other services. We reserve the right to use, disclose, share, and sell De-Identified Data to third parties in our absolute discretion.

We may collect information such as your browser type, the type of operating system you use, the domain name of your Internet service provider, IP address, pages visited on the site, services used and how you have used them.

Note that electing to opt out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications. It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests. Additionally, your browser may offer tools to limit the use of cookies or to delete cookies; however, if you use these tools, our Site may not function as intended.
We may also work with third parties that collect data about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time for non-advertising purposes.

We may collect information such as your browser type, the type of operating system you use, the domain name of your Internet service provider, IP address, pages visited on the site, services used and how you have used them. We and our advertising partners do this for a variety of purposes. In the case of our advertising partners, this may include the personalization of advertisements based on your visits to sites in that party’s network.
Please note there is currently no accepted standard to respond to Do Not Track signals and that at least some of the TiVo websites do not currently respond to a web browser’s Do Not Track instructions (i.e., “signal”). More information about Do Not Track can be found here. Additionally, we may use Google analytics. Google analytics manages ‘Do Not Track’ instructions from your browser in accordance with its own privacy policies, at http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
Another example of how we use cookies might be to track the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns and to show you TiVo ads on other websites after you have visited our website. Please note: if you continue to use this website, or any other TiVo website, you are consenting to our use of cookies. Information about our use of cookies is contained in our Cookie Policy at https://www.tivo.com/legal/cookies.
Interest-Based Advertising and Analytics
We may partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers (“Advertising Providers”) that serve ads on our behalf and others’ on non-affiliated platforms. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information that Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and products. This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.
We adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Self-Regulatory Principles in connection with this interest-based advertising activity. You may visit www.aboutads.info to learn more about this type of advertising and how to opt out of this advertising on websites by companies participating in the DAA self-regulatory program. For Canada please visithttps://youradchoices.ca. If you delete your cookies or use a different browser or mobile product, you may need to renew your opt-out choices exercised through the DAA tool. Note that electing to opt out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications. It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests. Additionally, your browser may offer tools to limit the use of cookies or to delete cookies; however, if you use these tools, our Site may not function as intended.
We may also work with third parties that collect data about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time for non-advertising purposes. We use Google Analytics and other third party services to improve the performance of the Site and for analytics and marketing purposes. For more information about how Google Analytics collects and uses data when you use our website, visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and to opt out of Google Analytics, visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
Transfer to Other Countries
TiVo transfers, processes, and stores information about our users on servers located in a number of countries. Accordingly, some of your Personal Information may be used by us and our affiliates, subsidiaries and our suppliers who may be located in countries outside the country where you are located for the purposes outlined in this policy. The data protection laws in these countries may not offer the same level of protection as those in the country where you are located. For example, information collected within the European Economic Area (EEA) may be transferred and processed by third parties, located in a country outside of the EEA, where you may have fewer legal rights in relation to your information. By providing your Personal Information to us you understand and expressly consent to TiVo and its business associates and suppliers processing your data in any jurisdiction, including without limitation the United States of America, in accordance with this privacy policy.
Individuals in other countries may have certain statutory rights in relation to their Personal Information. Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to request access, seek to update, delete or correct this Personal Information.
Residents of the EEA, the EU, and the UK, please refer to TiVo’s Privacy Policy for Residents of the EEA for TiVo’s policy related to the collection and use of data.
E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield
When TiVo transfers your Personal Information to recipients in other countries, we will protect that Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy, our EEA Privacy Policy, and in our other policies and procedures. If you are located in the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area (“EEA”), or the United Kingdom (“UK”), or we otherwise receive your Personal Information in the U.S. from those jurisdictions for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, you should note that while TiVo complies as a self-certifying entity with the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, TiVo relies on the legal mechanisms of the European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses or your consent (in limited circumstances) to secure the transfer of your Personal Information from these areas to a non-affiliated country.

The TiVo products and services are not directed to children under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 16.

If you are a parent of a child under age 16 and become aware that your child has provided Personal Information to TiVo, please contact us at privacy@tivo.com and you may request to exercise your applicable access, rectification, cancellation, and/or objection rights. If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and you wish to remove publicly available content, please contact us at privacy@tivo.com.
How Long We Keep Your Information
How long we retain your information, including voice data, depends on why we collected it and how we use it. We will not retain your Personal Information for longer than is necessary for our business purposes or for legal requirements. When no longer required, we will destroy, erase or de-identify the information. Legal requirements may necessitate that we retain some or all of the Personal Information we hold for a period of time that is longer than we might otherwise hold it. You may ask that your Personal Information be deleted (see Deleting your Data above).
Security of Your Information
We use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of Personal Information, including appropriate technological, organizational and physical safeguards. We store Personal Information in electronic and physical files that are secure, and our security measures include secure on-site and off-site storage. We conduct audits and monitor compliance with our privacy practices.
However, due to the design of the Internet, ever-changing technology and other factors outside of our control, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and our servers will be free from unauthorized access by third parties or that we will not be subject to security breaches. We will have no liability for disclosure of Personal Information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized or unlawful acts of third parties.
You are responsible for the security of your username, ID and password for any of the TiVo products and services. Please take care when using and storing them.

Non-Personal, De-Identified, or Product-Level Information
We may create non-personal, de-identified, or product level records (“De-Identified Data”) from personal information by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data identifiable to you.

Marketing and Advertising
Where permitted by applicable law, we may provide advertising companies and other business associates with information that does not directly identify you. The third-party advertisers and business associates may use that information to assist in targeting advertising, promotions, products, or services. We also provide our service providers with information which allows them to serve you advertisements. In some instances, this may be an advertisement tailored based upon your household information. Should you wish to opt-out of such personalization you may do so in your Manage My Account Privacy Status.
Service Providers and Third Parties
We engage service providers to perform functions and provide services to us in the United States and other countries. We use a variety of service providers to help TiVo provide its products and services and to help us understand and improve the use of TiVo products and services.

The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or objection that you may be entitled to raise to a third party’s, including a government’s, request to disclose your information.
Business Transfers and Affiliates
In the event that we are involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. We may also disclose information about you to our corporate affiliates in order to help provide, understand, and improve our and our affiliates’ products and services.
Non-Personal, De-Identified, or Product-Level Information
We may create non-personal, de-identified, or product level records (“De-Identified Data”) from personal information by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data identifiable to you. Once we create De-Identified Data, this De-Identified Data is our property. We use this De-Identified Data in many ways including analyzing request and usage patterns, creating reports and performing analytics so that we may enhance the content of our products and services (or those of a third party), improve navigation, and provide meaningful analysis of habits, usage, trends, and effectiveness of marketing campaigns etc. as part of our analytics and other services.

TiVo Products such as TiVo DVRs and Minis
You may opt out of having your viewing logs used in TiVo’s analytics business or sharing that de-identified information collected after such opt-out with third parties by logging into Manage MyAccount and changing your settings under Privacy Settings, or by contacting TiVo Customer Support at 1-877-367-8486 or (support.tivo.com/ContactTiVoSupport) and requesting to opt out. Please note that the viewing logs are Functional Data, therefore while the data will not be used for analytics or may be shared in a de-identified format with third parties, it will still be collected and processed as necessary to continue providing you with the TiVo service.
You can also cancel your TiVo account which will stop all data collection. If you call TiVo Customer Support at 1-877-367-8486, you may request that your account be cancelled. Cancelling the TiVo service will stop your TiVo product from functioning. TiVo may, at its option, delete all information for any cancelled accounts.

We reserve the right (subject to applicable law) to decline requests that are impractical or may jeopardize the privacy of others. In any event, certain legal or regulatory requirements may require that some of your data to be retained.

We may collect information such as your browser type, the type of operating system you use, the domain name of your Internet service provider, IP address, pages visited on the site, services used and how you have used them.

Please note there is currently no accepted standard to respond to Do Not Track signals and that at least some of the TiVo websites do not currently respond to a web browser’s Do Not Track instructions (i.e., “signal”). More information about Do Not Track can be found here. Additionally, we may use Google analytics. Google analytics manages ‘Do Not Track’ instructions from your browser in accordance with its own privacy policies http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.
We adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Self-Regulatory Principles in connection with this interest-based advertising activity.

Note that electing to opt out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications. It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests. Additionally, your browser may offer tools to limit the use of cookies or to delete cookies; however, if you use these tools, our Site may not function as intended.
We may also work with third parties that collect data about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time for non-advertising purposes.

If you connect your TiVo account to a Third-Party Application, TiVo may automatically share your activity and actions-relation to a TiVo product or service with that Third-Party Application, including the content you view.
You understand and agree that a Third-Party Application’s use of information collected from you (or as authorized by you) is governed by the Third-Party Application’s privacy policy and your settings on the Third-Party Application’s service, and TiVo’s use of such information is governed by this Privacy Policy and your TiVo account settings.
You also have the right to decide if you want your viewing data tracked within your TiVo product use, if you would like a “do not track” flag to be placed on your account so that your device and personal data is not to be used for personalized advertisement or analysis by service providers, and you also have the right at your discretion to reset your mobile and device advertising IDs which can help reduce the amount of data that can be collected on you.
Marketing and Advertising
Where permitted by applicable law, we may provide advertising companies and other business associates with information that does not directly identify you. The third-party advertisers and business associates may use that information to assist in targeting advertising, promotions, products, or services. We also provide our service providers with information which allows them to serve you advertisements. In some instances, this may be an advertisement tailored based upon your household information. Should you wish to opt-out of such personalization you may do so in your Manage My Account Privacy Settings.
Service Providers and Third Parties
We engage service providers to perform functions and provide services to us in the United States and other countries. We use a variety of service providers to help TiVo provide its products and services and to help us understand and improve the use of TiVo products and services.

The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or objection that you may be entitled to raise to a third party’s, including a government’s, request to disclose your information.
Business Transfers and Affiliates
In the event that we are involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. We may also disclose information about you to our corporate affiliates in order to help provide, understand, and improve our and our affiliates’ products and services.
Non-Personal, De-Identified, or Product-Level Information
We may create non-personal, de-identified, or product level records (“De-Identified Data”) from personal information by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data identifiable to you. Once we create De-Identified Data, this De-Identified Data is our property. We use this De-Identified Data in many ways including analyzing request and usage patterns, creating reports and performing analytics so that we may enhance the content of our products and services (or those of a third party), improve navigation, and provide meaningful analysis of habits, usage, trends, and effectiveness of marketing campaigns etc. as part of our analytics and other services.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, including using "cookies", clear GIFs (which are also sometimes called web bugs or web beacons) and browser details. We may collect information such as your browser type, the type of operating system you use, the domain name of your Internet service provider, IP address, pages visited on the site, services used and how you have used them. We and our advertising partners do this for a variety of purposes. In the case of our advertising partners, this may include the personalization of advertisements based on your visits to sites in that party’s network.
Please note there is currently no accepted standard to respond to Do Not Track signals and that at least some of the TiVo websites do not currently respond to a web browser’s Do Not Track instructions (i.e., “signal”). More information about Do Not Track can be found here. Additionally, we may use Google analytics. Google analytics manages ‘Do Not Track’ instructions from your browser in accordance with its own privacy policies http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
Another example of how we use cookies might be to track the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns and to show you TiVo ads on other websites after you have visited our website. Please note: if you continue to use this website, or any other TiVo website, you are consenting to our use of cookies. Information about our use of cookies is contained in our Cookie Policy at https://www.tivo.com/legal/cookies.
Interest-Based Advertising and Analytics
We may partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers (“Advertising Providers”) that serve ads on our behalf and others’ on non-affiliated platforms. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information that Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and products. This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.
We adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Self-Regulatory Principles in connection with this interest-based advertising activity. You may visit www.aboutads.info to learn more about this type of advertising and how to opt out of this advertising on websites by companies participating in the DAA self-regulatory program. For Canada please visit https://youradchoices.ca. If you delete your cookies or use a different browser or mobile product, you may need to renew your opt-out choices exercised through the DAA tool. Note that electing to opt out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications. It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests. Additionally, your browser may offer tools to limit the use of cookies or to delete cookies; however, if you use these tools, our Site may not function as intended.
We may also work with third parties that collect data about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time for non-advertising purposes. We use Google Analytics and other third-party services to improve the performance of the Site and for analytics and marketing purposes. For more information about how Google Analytics collects and uses data when you use our website, visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and to opt out of Google Analytics, visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification ".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the " copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it does.
Copyright (C) yyyy name of author
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type ‘show w’. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type ‘show c’ for details.
The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than ‘show w’ and ‘show c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items-- whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program ‘ Gnomovision’ (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
