This cookies policy describes how TiVo Platform Technologies LLC (“TiVo” or “we” or “us”) uses cookies in connection with our online services.
Does TiVo use cookies?
Yes. Please read this cookies policy carefully to understand how and why we use cookies. If you use our services with your browser set to accept cookies, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
What is a cookie?
There are different types of cookies
Cookies
A cookie is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that is placed on your computer or other device when you visit a website.
A cookie is sent to your browser from a web server. The use of cookies is standard on the Internet and you will find they are currently used by many major websites. It is stored on your computer and contains a unique identifier that allows our sites to recognize your computer. Cookies alone do not tell us your email address or other personal information.
Cookies once downloaded are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device. Such recognition is necessary to provide many features of our services, such as allowing you to sign in or to purchase items from tivo.com. You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improve the user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
You can set your web browser preferences to alert you when a cookie is sent to your hard drive, or to refuse cookies altogether. We do not require you to use cookies, but please keep in mind that certain features and services will not function properly if you set your browser to refuse cookies.
On this website, we use both “session” and “persistent” cookies. A session cookie is used to identify a particular visit to our site. These cookies expire after a short time, or when you close your web browser after using our services. We use these cookies to identify you during a single browsing session, such as when you log into tivo.com. A persistent cookie will remain on your devices for a set period of time specified in the cookie. We use these cookies where we need to identify you over a longer period of time. For example, we would use a persistent cookie if you asked that we keep you signed in.
Clear GIFs
Similar to cookies are clear GIFs, sometimes called web bugs or web beacons. “Clear GIFs” are very small image files that we sometimes place on web pages and within web-based email newsletters or other communication we send. Clear GIFs let us accurately count the number of users who have visited specific pages and the number of times those pages are accessed.
Clear GIFs also let us know how many people opened an email.
Flash cookies
Another cookie is a Flash cookie that is embedded in the Adobe Flash Player, which is a web tool that allows rapid development of dynamic content. Adobe Flash cookies may be used in certain situations where Flash is used to provide some content such as video clips or animation and to remember settings, preferences and usage. They are similar to ‘text or gif’ cookies (as described above) but are managed through a different interface than the one provided by your web browser.
Do I have to agree to TiVo's use of cookies?
If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you should use the settings on your web browser to reject cookies and delete our cookies using your browser’s settings. These settings are usually found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your web browser. You can find out more about deleting and blocking cookies here and using your web browser’s “Help” option.
A number of features of our services will not work or will not work effectively without cookies. As a result, changing your browser settings to reject cookies may have a negative impact on your ability to use our services.
As discussed below, we may work with third-party advertising companies that collect and use information to deliver more relevant advertising across the Internet and when you are using our products and services. To learn more about this practice and your choices with regard to companies participating in industry self-regulation, visit http://www.aboutads.info.
Please note that some countries require you to consent to our and our advertising partner’s use of some cookies, including in Europe. Where such requirements may be applicable, If you continue to use this website or any other TiVo website, TiVo will imply from this that you consent to our use of cookies.
Due to the complexities of the internet and the numerous dealings you may have with a particular advertiser through your accessing or using various websites or web services we make our advertising partners responsible for ensuring they comply with local laws, including obtaining your consent to cookies. Accordingly your consent to our advertising partners’ cookies is a matter between you and the advertiser (or advertiser network) concerned and they should inform you when and how they will obtain your consent.
Who places cookies when I use TiVo’s online services?
Many of the cookies placed when you use our services are “first party cookies” (meaning cookies set with a TiVo domain, such as tivo.com). Certain TiVo partners also place “third party cookies” when you use our services. These specialist cookies are not set by TiVo, but are rather set by other companies with our permission. The use of cookies by third-party cookie providers is subject to their own privacy policies.
Why are cookies used on TiVo’s online services?
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Authentication – we use cookies to recognize if you are logged into your account. This allows you to access your account, and allows us to show you the right content.
Security – we use cookies to enable or support security features we have deployed. This allows us to detect and prevent abuse of our services.
Shopping – we use cookies to know which items you have placed in your tivo.com shopping cart. This allows us to complete sales or contact you if you leave the site without making a purchase.
Personalization – we use cookies to remember which language you prefer and to help you fill out forms. This allows us to provide you with a better experience. Cookies may also be used to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
Analytics – we use cookies to learn how you, and other users, use our services and how well they perform. This allows us to identify errors, learn how our services perform, and improve and develop our services over time. Generally speaking, these cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works or how we can better serve our customers.
In particular, TiVo makes use of Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). As explained further below, Google Analytics uses cookies in order to collect information on our behalf about your use of the website (including your IP address) to help us analyze how users use the relevant site by compiling statistical reports on website activity. We may provide Google with access to this statistical information to use for its own analysis.
Marketing and Advertising – we use cookies 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.
Surveys – we use cookies to ask you to participate in surveys, and to know if you have declined.

Use of Google Analytics
TiVo’s website uses Google Universal Analytics, which is a service provided by Google that collects information about your visit to this site, including how often you visit, what pages within our domain you visit, and what other sites you have used prior to navigating to TiVo’s site. This allows us to better optimize your experience on TiVo’s website. As a part of this service, if you sign into TiVo’s website, the service will assign a unique User ID to collect information about interactions with TiVo’s website in different browsing sessions across devices (such as smartphones or tablets). Once this User ID is assigned, it will be used to collect information about your interactions with TiVo website(s) across devices over time regardless of whether you are signed in to your TiVo account. We do not transmit to Google through the Universal Analytics service any information that personally identifies you as an individual. To learn about the tools that Google may offer to opt out of its data collection through the Universal Analytics service, please visit here.
We also implement and use Google Analytics for Display Advertising (for remarketing). To learn about the tools that Google may offer to customize or opt out of its advertising services, please visit Google’s Ads Settings.

A cookie is sent to your browser from a web server. The use of cookies is standard on the Internet and you will find they are currently used by many major websites. It is stored on your computer and contains a unique identifier that allows our sites to recognize your computer. Cookies alone do not tell us your e­mail address or other personal information.
Cookies once downloaded are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device. Such recognition is necessary to provide many features of our services, such as allowing you to sign in or to purchase items from tivo.com. You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improve the user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
You can set your web browser preferences to alert you when a cookie is sent to your hard drive, or to refuse cookies altogether. We do not require you to use cookies, but please keep in mind that certain features and services will not function properly if you set your browser to refuse cookies.
On this website, we use both “session” and “persistent” cookies. A session cookie is used to identify a particular visit to our site. These cookies expire after a short time, or when you close your web browser after using our services. We use these cookies to identify you during a single browsing session, such as when you log into tivo.com. A persistent cookie will remain on your devices for a set period of time specified in the cookie. We use these cookies where we need to identify you over a longer period of time. For example, we would use a persistent cookie if you asked that we keep you signed in.
Clear GIFs
Similar to cookies are clear GIFs, sometimes called web bugs or web beacons. “Clear GIFs” are very small image files that we sometimes place on web pages and within web­-based email newsletters or other communication we send. Clear GIFs let us accurately count the number of users who have visited specific pages and the number of times those pages are accessed.
Clear GIFs also let us know how many people opened an email.
Flash cookies
Another cookie is a Flash cookie that is embedded in the Adobe Flash Player, which is a web tool that allows rapid development of dynamic content. Adobe Flash cookies may be used in certain situations where Flash is used to provide some content such as video clips or animation and to remember settings, preferences and usage. They are similar to ‘text or gif’ cookies (as described above) but are managed through a different interface than the one provided by your web browser.
Do I have to agree to TiVo's use of cookies?
If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you should use the settings on your web browser to reject cookies and delete our cookies using your browser’s settings. These settings are usually found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your web browser. You can find out more about deleting and blocking cookies here and using your web browser’s “Help” option.
A number of features of our services will not work or will not work effectively without cookies. As a result, changing your browser settings to reject cookies may have a negative impact on your ability to use our services.
As discussed below, we may work with third-party advertising companies that collect and use information to deliver more relevant advertising across the Internet and when you are using our products and services. To learn more about this practice and your choices with regard to companies participating in industry self-regulation, visit http://www.aboutads.info.
Please note that some countries require you to consent to our and our advertising partner’s use of some cookies, including in Europe. Where such requirements may be applicable, If you continue to use this website or any other TiVo website, TiVo will imply from this that you consent to our use of cookies.
Due to the complexities of the internet and the numerous dealings you may have with a particular advertiser through your accessing or using various websites or web services we make our advertising partners responsible for ensuring they comply with local laws, including obtaining your consent to cookies. Accordingly your consent to our advertising partners’ cookies is a matter between you and the advertiser (or advertiser network) concerned and they should inform you when and how they will obtain your consent.
Who places cookies when I use TiVo’s online services?
Many of the cookies placed when you use our services are “first party cookies” (meaning cookies set with a TiVo domain, such as tivo.com). Certain TiVo partners also place “third party cookies” when you use our services. These specialist cookies are not set by TiVo, but are rather set by other companies with our permission. The use of cookies by third-party cookie providers is subject to their own privacy policies.
Why are cookies used on TiVo’s online services?

Use of Google Analytics
TiVo’s website uses Google Universal Analytics, which is a service provided by Google that collects information about your visit to this site, including how often you visit, what pages within our domain you visit, and what other sites you have used prior to navigating to TiVo’s site. This allows us to better optimize your experience on TiVo’s website. As a part of this service, if you sign into TiVo’s website, the service will assign a unique User ID to collect information about interactions with TiVo’s website in different browsing sessions across devices (such as smartphones or tablets). Once this User ID is assigned, it will be used to collect information about your interactions with TiVo website(s) across devices over time regardless of whether you are signed in to your TiVo account. We do not transmit to Google through the Universal Analytics service any information that personally identifies you as an individual. To learn about the tools that Google may offer to opt out of its data collection through the Universal Analytics service, please visit here.
We also implement and use Google Analytics for Display Advertising (for remarketing). To learn about the tools that Google may offer to customize or opt out of its advertising services, please visit Google’s Ads Settings.

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.

TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo Products require a TiVo Service Subscription. We currently offer a monthly TiVo Service Subscription plan. A separate TiVo Service Subscription is required for each TiVo Product. Visit tivo.com for current rates and offers.
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.
An existing All-In Plan subscription lasts for as long as your TiVo device is operational or until TiVo discontinues support for your device, whichever comes first. You may not 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).
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.

Updated: September 20, 2025

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.

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.


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).

TiVo+ Service

Linked Destinations and Advertising Third Party Destinations: TiVo+ (including the Content) may contain links to third-party applications, services or destinations. 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. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of any third-party applications, services or destinations and release TiVo from any responsibility and liability to you for any content or other materials hosted and served from any such applications, services or destinations. This Agreement does not govern your use of any third-party applications, services or 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+.

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.

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.

Governing Law

THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH 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.

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 sent.

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

You may use TiVo applications on your Apple-branded iOS products only as permitted by this Agreement and any applicable Apple terms of use. We each acknowledge that: (1) this Agreement is between you and TiVo only, and not with Apple, (2) TiVo is solely responsible for TiVo iOS applications, (3) Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to TiVo iOS applications, and (4) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, with the right to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

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.

When using TiVo Products and TiVo Services, you agree not to engage in any conduct (except to the extent permitted by applicable law) that:

  • encourages or enables any other individual to do any of the foregoing or attempts to do any of the foregoing.

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.


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).

TiVo+ Service

Linked Destinations and Advertising Third Party Destinations: TiVo+ (including the Content) may contain links to third-party applications, services or destinations. 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. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of any third-party applications, services or destinations and release TiVo from any responsibility and liability to you for any content or other materials hosted and served from any such applications, services or destinations. This Agreement does not govern your use of any third-party applications, services or 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+.


TiVo.com Orders

We sell and ship only to individuals within the continental United States, 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, (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.


30-day Money-Back Guarantee

We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo Service Subscriptions. Except as noted below, you may return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date or cancel any newly-activated TiVo Service Subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or visit tivo.com.

Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:

  • Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
  • Only initial activations of the TiVo Service Subscription are eligible for this offer (i.e. 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 device, the cost of shipment of the device back to TiVo shall be the sole responsibility of the customer.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.


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).

TiVo+ Service

Linked Destinations and Advertising Third Party Destinations: TiVo+ (including the Content) may contain links to third-party applications, services or destinations. 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. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of any third-party applications, services or destinations and release TiVo from any responsibility and liability to you for any content or other materials hosted and served from any such applications, services or destinations. This Agreement does not govern your use of any third-party applications, services or 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+.


TiVo.com Orders

We sell and ship only to individuals within the continental United States, 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, (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.


30-day Money-Back Guarantee

We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo Service Subscriptions. Except as noted below, you may return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date or cancel any newly-activated TiVo Service Subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486 or visit tivo.com.

Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:

  • 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 device, the cost of shipment of the device back to TiVo shall be the sole responsibility of the customer.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

When using TiVo Products and TiVo Services, you agree not to engage in any conduct (except to the extent permitted by applicable law) that:

  • encourages or enables any other individual to do any of the foregoing or attempts to do any of the foregoing.

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.


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).

  • 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).

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.

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.

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.
  • 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.

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.

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.

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).

We sell and ship only to individuals within the continental United States, 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

We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo Service Subscriptions. Except as noted below, you may return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date or cancel any newly-activated TiVo Service Subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee).

  • Only initial activations of the TiVo Service Subscription are eligible for this offer (i.e. 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.

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 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.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS (AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION). UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

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.

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.

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, 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 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.

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.
  • 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.

When using TiVo Products and TiVo Services, you agree not to engage in any conduct (except to the extent permitted by applicable law) that:

  • encourages or enables any other individual to do any of the foregoing or attempts to do any of the foregoing.

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.

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).

TiVo+ Service

Linked Destinations and Advertising Third Party Destinations: TiVo+ (including the Content) may contain links to third-party applications, services or destinations. 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. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of any third-party applications, services or destinations and release TiVo from any responsibility and liability to you for any content or other materials hosted and served from any such applications, services or destinations. This Agreement does not govern your use of any third-party applications, services or 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+.

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

  • 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.

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 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.

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).

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A TIVO PRODUCT OR TIVO SERVICE, PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-877-367-8486.

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.

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.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS (AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION). UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

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.

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

Effective Date: November 12, 2021

This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Platform Technologies LLC (“TiVo”) (including TiVo devices, mobile apps, and websites). 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, 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.

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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Except as noted below, you may return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee).

  • 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.

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.

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.

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.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS (AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION). UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
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.
Notices: All notices from you to TiVo must be sent via certified mail to TiVo Platform Technologies LLC 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn.: Legal Department, and will be deemed given on receipt by TiVo. 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.

Additional Apple Terms
You may use TiVo apps on your Apple-branded iOS products only as permitted by this agreement and any applicable Apple terms of use. We each acknowledge that: (1) this agreement is between you and TiVo only, and not with Apple, (2) TiVo is solely responsible for TiVo iOS apps, (3) Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to TiVo iOS apps, and (4) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, with the right to enforce this agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Effective Date: April 26, 2021

This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Platform Technologies LLC (“TiVo”) (including TiVo devices, mobile apps, and websites). 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.

TiVo Service Subscriptions

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

We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Except as noted below, you may return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee).

  • 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.

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.

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).

Feedback

If you submit any ideas or materials to us (whether in an email, using a "Contact Us" form, on a user forum, or via any other method), you agree that: (1) they will be non-confidential, (2) TiVo may have something similar already in development or under consideration, (3) TiVo will own them and be free to use them on an unrestricted basis, and (3) if TiVo does not own them, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and worldwide license to implement, use, modify or otherwise commercially exploit them in any way without any payment or accounting to you.

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.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS (AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION). UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

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.

Notices: All notices from you to TiVo must be sent via certified mail to TiVo Platform Technologies LLC 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn.: Legal Department, and will be deemed given on receipt by TiVo. 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.

Additional Apple Terms

You may use TiVo apps on your Apple-branded iOS products only as permitted by this agreement and any applicable Apple terms of use. We each acknowledge that: (1) this agreement is between you and TiVo only, and not with Apple, (2) TiVo is solely responsible for TiVo iOS apps, (3) Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to TiVo iOS apps, and (4) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, with the right to enforce this agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Effective Date: March 30, 2021

This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Platform Technologies LLC (“TiVo”) (including TiVo devices, mobile apps, and websites). 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.

TiVo Service Subscriptions

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

We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Except as noted below, you may return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee).

Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:

  • 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.

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).

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.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS (AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION). UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

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.

Notices: All notices from you to TiVo must be sent via certified mail to TiVo Platform Technologies LLC 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn.: Legal Department, and will be deemed given on receipt by TiVo. 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.

Additional Apple Terms

You may use TiVo apps on your Apple-branded iOS products only as permitted by this agreement and any applicable Apple terms of use. We each acknowledge that: (1) this agreement is between you and TiVo only, and not with Apple, (2) TiVo is solely responsible for TiVo iOS apps, (3) Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to TiVo iOS apps, and (4) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, with the right to enforce this agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

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, or Canada (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.

TiVo Service Subscriptions
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 1-877-531-4567 for Canada) 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, Hawaii, and Canada. Not all TiVo products ship to Canada. 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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Except as noted below, you may return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486 (or 1-877-531-4567 for Canada) or visit tivo.com.
Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:
  • 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.
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 (1-877-531-4567 for Canada) 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 (1-877-531-4567 FOR CANADA). 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.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS (AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION). UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
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 (1-877-531-4567 for Canada). 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 those 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.
Notices: All notices from you to TiVo must be sent via certified mail to TiVo Platform Technologies LLC 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn.: Legal Department, and will be deemed given on receipt by TiVo. 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.

Additional Apple Terms
You may use TiVo apps on your Apple-branded iOS products only as permitted by this agreement and any applicable Apple terms of use. We each acknowledge that: (1) this agreement is between you and TiVo only, and not with Apple, (2) TiVo is solely responsible for TiVo iOS apps, (3) Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to TiVo iOS apps, and (4) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, with the right to enforce this agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Effective Date: September 30, 2019
This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Platform Technologies LLC (“TiVo”) (including TiVo devices, mobile apps, and websites). 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 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, or Canada (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, 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 the remote or your account password.

Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 12 TiVo set-top boxes (DVRs or TiVo Mini boxes) on the same 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 12 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.
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 product.

TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo products require a TiVo service subscription, and we currently offer three service plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (The All-In Plan replaced the Product Lifetime Service subscription offered in prior versions of this agreement.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby TiVo service explicitly is (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 1-877-531-4567 for Canada) 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.com Orders
We sell and ship only to individuals within the continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada. 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 received by us), (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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486 (or 1-877-531-4567 for Canada).
Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:
  • 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.

Returns
After 30 days, we do not accept any returns for refunds. Only items that have been purchased from tivo.com can be returned to us. TiVo 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, and TiVo Minis) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal. Extended coverage warranty plans may also be available for purchase. 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 when your order ships, on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription, and (if applicable) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees. 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.
For TiVo DVRs and the TiVo Mini, unless you have an All-In Plan subscription: (1) your TiVo service subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable); and (2) you authorize us to automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit card each billing date until you cancel your subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486 (1-877-531-4567 for Canada). 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).
Some notes about payments:
  • By subscribing to the TiVo service, you authorize us to charge the applicable TiVo service 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).
  • 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.
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 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 LICENSORES, 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 (1-877-531-4567 FOR CANADA). 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.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS (AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION). UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
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, 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 (1-877-531-4567 for Canada). 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.

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 those 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.
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.
Notices: All notices from you to TiVo must be sent via certified mail to TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn.: Legal Department, and will be deemed given on receipt by TiVo. 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.

Additional Apple Terms
You may use TiVo apps on your Apple-branded iOS products only as permitted by this agreement and any applicable Apple terms of use. We each acknowledge that: (1) this agreement is between you and TiVo only, and not with Apple, (2) TiVo is solely responsible for TiVo iOS apps, (3) Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to TiVo iOS apps, and (4) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, with the right to enforce this agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Effective Date: May 18, 2018
This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Solutions Inc. (“TiVo”) (including TiVo devices, mobile apps, and websites). 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.
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 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 state, 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, 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 the remote or your account password.

Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 12 TiVo set-top boxes (DVRs or TiVo Mini boxes) on the same 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 12 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.
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 product.

TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo products require a TiVo service subscription, and we currently offer three service plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (The All-In Plan replaced the Product Lifetime Service subscription offered in prior versions of this agreement.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby TiVo service explicitly is (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, 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, and unless we notify you otherwise, 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.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 received by us), (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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date, or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486.
Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:
  • Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
  • You will be responsible for all return shipping costs, unless otherwise noted.
  • 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 charge your credit card on file a 15% restocking fee for returns missing any documentation, accessories or packaging.
  • We will refuse returns of damaged merchandise or items that show wear and tear.
  • We will charge your credit card on file the MSRP (plus tax) for returned items we do not receive within 15 days of the date your return is processed (less the amount you already paid).

Returns
After 30 days, we do not accept any returns for refunds. Only items that have been purchased from tivo.com can be returned to us. TiVo 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, and TiVo Minis) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal. Extended coverage warranty plans may also be available for purchase. 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 when your order ships, on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription, and (if applicable) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees. 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.
For TiVo DVRs and the TiVo Mini, unless you have an All-In Plan subscription: (1) your TiVo service subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable); and (2) you authorize us to automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit card each billing date until you cancel your subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. 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).
Some notes about payments:
  • By subscribing to the TiVo service you authorize us to charge the applicable TiVo service 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).
  • Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some states, 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 increase your monthly, annual, or other periodic subscription fee (for TiVo service) after any applicable minimum commitment period has been fulfilled, but we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of any change in this subscription fee. If you do not accept the new fees, you should terminate your subscription before the new fees go into effect.
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.
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).

Open Source
Software that we provide to you may include open source code. Acknowledgments, licensing terms and disclaimers are contained in a "System Information," "Legal," or similar screen found in the menu of your TiVo product, and may also be available at tivo.com/legal/opensource. To the extent required, the terms of the applicable open source license (rather than the terms of this agreement) will apply to such code.

If you submit any ideas or materials to us (whether in an email, using a "Contact Us" form, on a user forum, or via any other method), you agree that: (1) they will be non-confidential, (2) TiVo may have something similar already in development or under consideration, (3) TiVo will own them and be free to use them on an unrestricted basis, and (3) if TiVo does not own them, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and worldwide license to implement, use, modify or otherwise commercially exploit them in any way without any payment or accounting to you.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
EXCEPT FOR ANY TIVO PRODUCTS 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 LICENSORES, 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 STATES 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.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS (AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION). UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
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. 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.

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 those 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.
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.
Notices: All notices from you to TiVo must be sent via certified mail to TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn.: Legal Department, and will be deemed given on receipt by TiVo. 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 as a whole 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
You may use TiVo apps on your Apple-branded iOS products only as permitted by this agreement and any applicable Apple terms of use. We each acknowledge that: (1) this agreement is between you and TiVo only, and not with Apple, (2) TiVo is solely responsible for TiVo iOS apps, (3) Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to TiVo iOS apps, and (4) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, with the right to enforce this agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Effective Date: May 18, 2018
This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Solutions Inc. (“TiVo”) (including TiVo devices, mobile apps, and websites). 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.
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 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 state, 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, 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 the remote or your account password.

Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 12 TiVo set-top boxes (DVRs or TiVo Mini boxes) on the same 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 12 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.
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 product.

TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo products require a TiVo service subscription, and we currently offer three service plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (The All-In Plan replaced the Product Lifetime Service subscription offered in prior versions of this agreement.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby TiVo service explicitly is (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, 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, and unless we notify you otherwise, 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.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 received by us), (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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date, or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486.
Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:
  • Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
  • You will be responsible for all return shipping costs, unless otherwise noted.
  • 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 charge your credit card on file a 15% restocking fee for returns missing any documentation, accessories or packaging.
  • We will refuse returns of damaged merchandise or items that show wear and tear.
  • We will charge your credit card on file the MSRP (plus tax) for returned items we do not receive within 15 days of the date your return is processed (less the amount you already paid).

Returns
After 30 days, we do not accept any returns for refunds. Only items that have been purchased from tivo.com can be returned to us. TiVo 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, and TiVo Minis) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal. Extended coverage warranty plans may also be available for purchase. 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 when your order ships, on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription, and (if applicable) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy.
For TiVo DVRs and the TiVo Mini, unless you have an All-In Plan subscription: (1) your TiVo service subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable); and (2) you authorize us to automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit card each billing date until you cancel your subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. 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).
Some notes about payments:
  • By subscribing to the TiVo service you authorize us to charge the applicable TiVo service 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).
  • Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some states, 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 increase your monthly, annual, or other periodic subscription fee (for TiVo service) after any applicable minimum commitment period has been fulfilled, but we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of any change in this subscription fee. If you do not accept the new fees, you should terminate your subscription before the new fees go into effect.
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.
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).

Software that we provide to you may include open source code. Acknowledgments, licensing terms and disclaimers are contained in a "System Information," "Legal," or similar screen found in the menu of your TiVo product, and may also be available at tivo.com/legal/opensource.

Nothing in this agreement limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms of any applicable open source license.

TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIVO AND ITS LICENSORES, 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 STATES 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.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS (AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION). UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
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. 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.

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 those 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.
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.
Notices: All notices from you to TiVo must be sent via certified mail to TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn.: Legal Department, and will be deemed given on receipt by TiVo. 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 as a whole 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
You may use TiVo apps on your Apple-branded iOS products only as permitted by this agreement and any applicable Apple terms of use. We each acknowledge that: (1) this agreement is between you and TiVo only, and not with Apple, (2) TiVo is solely responsible for TiVo iOS apps, (3) Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to TiVo iOS apps, and (4) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, with the right to enforce this agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Effective Date: May 18, 2018
This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Solutions Inc. (“TiVo”) (including TiVo devices, mobile apps, and websites). 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.
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 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 state, 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, 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 the remote or your account password.

Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 12 TiVo set-top boxes (DVRs or TiVo Mini boxes) on the same 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 12 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.
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 product.

TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo products require a TiVo service subscription, and we currently offer three service plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (The All-In Plan replaced the Product Lifetime Service subscription offered in prior versions of this agreement.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby TiVo service explicitly is (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, 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, and unless we notify you otherwise, 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.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 received by us), (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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date, or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486.
Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:
  • Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
  • You will be responsible for all return shipping costs, unless otherwise noted.
  • 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 charge your credit card on file a 15% restocking fee for returns missing any documentation, accessories or packaging.
  • We will refuse returns of damaged merchandise or items that show wear and tear.
  • We will charge your credit card on file the MSRP (plus tax) for returned items we do not receive within 15 days of the date your return is processed (less the amount you already paid).

Returns
After 30 days, we do not accept any returns for refunds. Only items that have been purchased from tivo.com can be returned to us. TiVo 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, and TiVo Minis) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal. Extended coverage warranty plans may also be available for purchase. 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 when your order ships, on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription, and (if applicable) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy.
For TiVo DVRs and the TiVo Mini, unless you have an All-In Plan subscription: (1) your TiVo service subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable); and (2) you authorize us to automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit card each billing date until you cancel your subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. 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).
Some notes about payments:
  • By subscribing to the TiVo service you authorize us to charge the applicable TiVo service 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).
  • Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some states, 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 increase your monthly, annual, or other periodic subscription fee (for TiVo service) after any applicable minimum commitment period has been fulfilled, but we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of any change in this subscription fee. If you do not accept the new fees, you should terminate your subscription before the new fees go into effect.
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.
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).

Open Source
Software that we provide to you may include open source code. Acknowledgments, licensing terms and disclaimers are contained in a "System Information," "Legal," or similar screen found in the menu of your TiVo product, and may also be available at tivo.com/legal/opensource. To the extent required, the terms of the applicable open source license (rather than the terms of this agreement) will apply to such code. Nothing in this agreement limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms of any applicable open source license.

IP Rights
Visit tivo.com/patents for a non-exhaustive list of patents that apply to our products and services. Software that we provide to you is licensed, not sold. This agreement does not provide you with any right or license (whether expressly, by implication, by estoppel, or otherwise) under the intellectual property rights of TiVo (or our licensors) other than to the extent expressly authorized above. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.

Copyright Policy

Feedback
If you submit any ideas or materials to us (whether in an email, using a "Contact Us" form, on a user forum, or via any other method), you agree that: (1) they will be non-confidential, (2) TiVo may have something similar already in development or under consideration, (3) TiVo will own them and be free to use them on an unrestricted basis, and (3) if TiVo does not own them, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and worldwide license to implement, use, modify or otherwise commercially exploit them in any way without any payment or accounting to you.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
EXCEPT FOR ANY TIVO PRODUCTS 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 LICENSORES, 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 STATES 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.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS (AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION). UNLESS WE EACH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
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. 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.

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 those 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.
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.
Notices: All notices from you to TiVo must be sent via certified mail to TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn.: Legal Department, and will be deemed given on receipt by TiVo. 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 as a whole 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
You may use TiVo apps on your Apple-branded iOS products only as permitted by this agreement and any applicable Apple terms of use. We each acknowledge that: (1) this agreement is between you and TiVo only, and not with Apple, (2) TiVo is solely responsible for TiVo iOS apps, (3) Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to TiVo iOS apps, and (4) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, with the right to enforce this agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Activities related to shopping, ordering and purchasing a TiVo device, or using the online.tivo.com website are covered by the User Agreement. General, passive browsing is covered by the Website Terms and Conditions.
TiVo User Agreement
This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Inc. (including TiVo DVRs (also sometimes referred to as TiVo unified entertainment systems), mobile apps, and websites). 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.
A few things to note:
  • When we refer to "TiVo products" in this policy, we mean any device, software, or website offered by TiVo (including TiVo DVRs, the TiVo Mini, the TiVo Stream, TiVo mobile apps, and 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.
  • When we say “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy, we mean TiVo, and/or one or more of its corporate affiliates. TiVo Corporation is incorporated in the State of Delaware and its principle office is 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002-2160 USA.
  • 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 United States, (2) the age of majority in your state, 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, and are not primarily intended to record music.
TiVo grants you a personal, non-commercial, and non-exclusive license to (1) access and use our websites, (2) install and use our mobile apps on mobile 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 (what we call the TiVo service) using authorized TiVo products.
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, see TiVo Service Subscriptions below for details.
  • Your personal information will be collected, used, and disclosed by TiVo in accordance with our privacy policy.
  • We do not endorse 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 the remote.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 10 TiVo devices (excluding only the TiVo Stream) on the same account.
Some TiVo products may let you stream or download your recorded content to your mobile devices. The following restrictions apply to streaming/downloading your recorded content:
  • You may sync a maximum number of 12 mobile devices.
  • You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (so no syncing 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 Stream, TiVo Roamio Plus/Pro DVR, or TiVo BOLT unified entertainment system.
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, or (4) attempt to circumvent technological measures or gain unauthorized access through hacking, password mining or any other means.
TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo products require a TiVo service subscription, and we currently offer three service plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (In prior versions of this user agreement, the All-In Plan was referred to as Product Lifetime service.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby TiVo service explicitly is (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo product (for example, as of the September 30, 2015 posting date of this user agreement, 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:
  • Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other periodic) TiVo service subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486, 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) at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, 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 an 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 the lifetime of your TiVo device (not your lifetime), 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. 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).
Multi-Service Discount
Through September 29, 2015, we offered discounted TiVo service fees when you had more than one TiVo DVR on the same customer account. For information on (1) the restrictions and eligibility requirements that have applied to this multi-service discount and (2) your ability to retain this multi-service discount, please visit Multi-Service Discount.
TiVo.com Orders
We sell and ship only to individuals within the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii. We will send you an email confirmation when you place your order, and we may pre-authorize the amount of your order on your credit card (and note that this email confirmation 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 confirmation when 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), (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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date, or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486.
Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:
  • Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
  • You will be responsible for all return shipping costs.
  • 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 charge your credit card on file a 15% restocking fee for returns missing any documentation, accessories or packaging.
  • We will refuse returns of damaged merchandise or items that show wear and tear.
  • We will charge your credit card on file the MSRP (plus tax) for returned items we do not receive within 15 days of the date your return is processed (less the amount you already paid).
Returns
After 30 days, we do not accept any returns for refunds. Only items that have been purchased from tivo.com can be returned to us. TiVo 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, the TiVo Mini, and the TiVo Stream) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal/warranties. Extended coverage warranty plans may also be available for purchase. 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 when your order ships, on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription, and (if applicable) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy.
Unless you have an All-In Plan subscription: (1) your TiVo service subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable); and (2) you authorize us to automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit card each billing date until you cancel your subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. 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).
Some notes about payments:
  • By subscribing to the TiVo service, you authorize us to charge the applicable subscription 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 subscription period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly subscription in January is for the TiVo service in the month of February).
  • Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some states, the tax will be based on the no-commitment 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 increase your monthly, annual, or other periodic subscription fee (for TiVo service) after any applicable minimum commitment period has been fulfilled, but we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of any change in this subscription fee. If you do not accept the new fees, you should terminate your subscription before the new fees go into effect.
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 of your subscription, 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.
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).
Open Source
Software that we provide to you may include open source code. Acknowledgments, licensing terms and disclaimers are contained in a "System Information," "Legal," or similar screen found in the menu of your TiVo product, and may also be available at tivo.com/legal/opensource. To the extent required, the terms of the applicable open source license (rather than the terms of this agreement) will apply to such code. Nothing in this agreement limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms of any applicable open source license.
IP Rights
Visit tivo.com/patents for a non-exhaustive list of patents that apply to our products and services. Software that we provide to you is licensed, not sold. This agreement does not provide you with any right or license (whether expressly, by implication, by estoppel, or otherwise) under the intellectual property rights of TiVo (or our licensors) other than to the extent expressly authorized above. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
Copyright Policy
If you are a copyright owner (or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right under copyright) and believe that your copyright is being infringed, we will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with Section 512(c)(3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
A notice of alleged copyright infringement must be a written communication provided to TiVo's designated agent that includes the following: (1) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf, (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, (3) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, (4) your contact information (including your name, address, telephone number, and email address), (5) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, and (6) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
We reserve the right to remove content alleged to be infringing without prior notice, at our sole discretion, and without liability to you. It is our policy to terminate a user's account if, under appropriate circumstances, the user is determined to be a repeat infringer. Our designated copyright agent for notices of alleged copyright infringement is: TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn: Copyright Agent, email: legal@tivo.com.
Feedback
If you submit any ideas or materials to us (whether in an email, using a "Contact Us" form, on a user forum, or via any other method), you agree that: (1) they will be non-confidential, (2) TiVo may have something similar already in development or under consideration, (3) TiVo will own them and be free to use them on an unrestricted basis, and (3) if TiVo does not own them, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and worldwide license to implement, use, modify or otherwise commercially exploit them in any way without any payment or accounting to you.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
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 states 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, this dispute resolution provision provides for all disputes between us to be resolved in binding arbitration or small claims court.
We have designed this dispute resolution provision to make the process as convenient and inexpensive 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 very 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 (or 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.
Class action waiver: We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis (and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action). Unless we each agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Informal dispute resolution: We each must try in good faith for 15 days to informally resolve any dispute before starting arbitration. A party who intends to seek 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 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 Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Those rules and information about how to start 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 identified, 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 an 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 frivolous 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.
Prevailing party: If you prevail in arbitration and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer, we will pay you either the amount of the award or $200, whichever is greater. If we prevail in arbitration, we will not seek, and hereby waive all rights we may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and costs.
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 above-set forth 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, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, 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.
Changes to this Agreement
We need the flexibility to update this agreement from time to time as our business changes. If we make substantive changes, 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 those 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 are substantive, 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.

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 as a whole and, in such event, such provision is to be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable position within the limits of applicable law.

Table of Contents


This page contains the TiVo User Agreement and the TiVo.com Website Terms and Conditions. Activities related to shopping, ordering and purchasing a TiVo device, or using the online.tivo.com website are covered by the User Agreement. General, passive browsing is covered by the Website Terms and Conditions.
TiVo User Agreement
This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Inc. (including TiVo DVRs (also sometimes referred to as TiVo unified entertainment systems), mobile apps, and websites). 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.
A few things to note:
  • When we refer to "TiVo products" in this policy, we mean any device, software, or website offered by TiVo (including TiVo DVRs, the TiVo Mini, the TiVo Stream, TiVo mobile apps, and 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.
  • When we say “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy, we mean TiVo, and/or one or more of its corporate affiliates. TiVo Corporation is incorporated in the State of Delaware and its principle office is 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002-2160 USA.
  • 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 United States, (2) the age of majority in your state, 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, and are not primarily intended to record music.
TiVo grants you a personal, non-commercial, and non-exclusive license to (1) access and use our websites, (2) install and use our mobile apps on mobile 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 (what we call the TiVo service) using authorized TiVo products.
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, see TiVo Service Subscriptions below for details.
  • Your personal information will be collected, used, and disclosed by TiVo in accordance with our privacy policy.
  • We do not endorse 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 the remote.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 10 TiVo devices (excluding only the TiVo Stream) on the same account.
Some TiVo products may let you stream or download your recorded content to your mobile devices. The following restrictions apply to streaming/downloading your recorded content:
  • You may sync a maximum number of 12 mobile devices.
  • You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (so no syncing 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 Stream, TiVo Roamio Plus/Pro DVR, or TiVo BOLT unified entertainment system.
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, or (4) attempt to circumvent technological measures or gain unauthorized access through hacking, password mining or any other means.
TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo products require a TiVo service subscription, and we currently offer three service plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (In prior versions of this user agreement, the All-In Plan was referred to as Product Lifetime service.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby TiVo service explicitly is (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo product (for example, as of the September 30, 2015 posting date of this user agreement, 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:
  • Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other periodic) TiVo service subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486, 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) at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, 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 an 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 the lifetime of your TiVo device (not your lifetime), 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. 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).
Multi-Service Discount
Through September 29, 2015, we offered discounted TiVo service fees when you had more than one TiVo DVR on the same customer account. For information on (1) the restrictions and eligibility requirements that have applied to this multi-service discount and (2) your ability to retain this multi-service discount, please visit Multi-Service Discount.
TiVo.com Orders
We sell and ship only to individuals within the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii. We will send you an email confirmation when you place your order, and we may pre-authorize the amount of your order on your credit card (and note that this email confirmation 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 confirmation when 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), (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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date, or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486.
Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:
  • Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
  • You will be responsible for all return shipping costs.
  • 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 charge your credit card on file a 15% restocking fee for returns missing any documentation, accessories or packaging.
  • We will refuse returns of damaged merchandise or items that show wear and tear.
  • We will charge your credit card on file the MSRP (plus tax) for returned items we do not receive within 15 days of the date your return is processed (less the amount you already paid).
Returns
After 30 days, we do not accept any returns for refunds. Only items that have been purchased from tivo.com can be returned to us. TiVo 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, the TiVo Mini, and the TiVo Stream) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal/warranties. Extended coverage warranty plans may also be available for purchase. 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 when your order ships, on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription, and (if applicable) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy.
Unless you have an All-In Plan subscription: (1) your TiVo service subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable); and (2) you authorize us to automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit card each billing date until you cancel your subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. 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).
Some notes about payments:
  • By subscribing to the TiVo service, you authorize us to charge the applicable subscription 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 subscription period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly subscription in January is for the TiVo service in the month of February).
  • Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some states, the tax will be based on the no-commitment 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 increase your monthly, annual, or other periodic subscription fee (for TiVo service) after any applicable minimum commitment period has been fulfilled, but we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of any change in this subscription fee. If you do not accept the new fees, you should terminate your subscription before the new fees go into effect.
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 of your subscription, 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.
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).

Feedback
If you submit any ideas or materials to us (whether in an email, using a "Contact Us" form, on a user forum, or via any other method), you agree that: (1) they will be non-confidential, (2) TiVo may have something similar already in development or under consideration, (3) TiVo will own them and be free to use them on an unrestricted basis, and (3) if TiVo does not own them, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and worldwide license to implement, use, modify or otherwise commercially exploit them in any way without any payment or accounting to you.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
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 states 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, this dispute resolution provision provides for all disputes between us to be resolved in binding arbitration or small claims court.
We have designed this dispute resolution provision to make the process as convenient and inexpensive 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 very 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 (or 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.
Class action waiver: We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis (and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action). Unless we each agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Informal dispute resolution: We each must try in good faith for 15 days to informally resolve any dispute before starting arbitration. A party who intends to seek 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 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 Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Those rules and information about how to start 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 identified, 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 an 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 frivolous 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.
Prevailing party: If you prevail in arbitration and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer, we will pay you either the amount of the award or $200, whichever is greater. If we prevail in arbitration, we will not seek, and hereby waive all rights we may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and costs.
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 above-set forth 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, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, 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.
Changes to this Agreement
We need the flexibility to update this agreement from time to time as our business changes. If we make substantive changes, 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 those 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 are substantive, 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

If any provision of the terms is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government, or by any court or arbitrator, the parties agree that such provision will be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, and the other provisions of the terms will remain in full force and effect.

This page contains the TiVo User Agreement and the TiVo.com Website Terms and Conditions. Activities related to shopping, ordering and purchasing a TiVo device, or using the online.tivo.com website are covered by the User Agreement. General, passive browsing is covered by the Website Terms and Conditions.
TiVo User Agreement
This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Inc. (including TiVo DVRs (also sometimes referred to as TiVo unified entertainment systems), mobile apps, and websites). 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.
A few things to note:
  • When we refer to "TiVo products" in this policy, we mean any device, software, or website offered by TiVo (including TiVo DVRs, the TiVo Mini, the TiVo Stream, TiVo mobile apps, and 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.
  • When we say “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy, we mean TiVo, and/or one or more of its corporate affiliates. TiVo Corporation is incorporated in the State of Delaware and its principle office is 2 Circle Star Way, San Carlos CA 94070 USA.
  • 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 United States, (2) the age of majority in your state, 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, and are not primarily intended to record music.
TiVo grants you a personal, non-commercial, and non-exclusive license to (1) access and use our websites, (2) install and use our mobile apps on mobile 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 (what we call the TiVo service) using authorized TiVo products.
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, see TiVo Service Subscriptions below for details.
  • Your personal information will be collected, used, and disclosed by TiVo in accordance with our privacy policy.
  • We do not endorse 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 the remote.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 10 TiVo devices (excluding only the TiVo Stream) on the same account.
Some TiVo products may let you stream or download your recorded content to your mobile devices. The following restrictions apply to streaming/downloading your recorded content:
  • You may sync a maximum number of 12 mobile devices.
  • You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (so no syncing 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 Stream, TiVo Roamio Plus/Pro DVR, or TiVo BOLT unified entertainment system.
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, or (4) attempt to circumvent technological measures or gain unauthorized access through hacking, password mining or any other means.
TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo products require a TiVo service subscription, and we currently offer three service plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (In prior versions of this user agreement, the All-In Plan was referred to as Product Lifetime service.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby TiVo service explicitly is (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo product (for example, as of the September 30, 2015 posting date of this user agreement, 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:
  • Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other periodic) TiVo service subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486, 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) at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, 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 an 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 the lifetime of your TiVo device (not your lifetime), 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. 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).
Multi-Service Discount
Through September 29, 2015, we offered discounted TiVo service fees when you had more than one TiVo DVR on the same customer account. For information on (1) the restrictions and eligibility requirements that have applied to this multi-service discount and (2) your ability to retain this multi-service discount, please visit Multi-Service Discount.
TiVo.com Orders
We sell and ship only to individuals within the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii. We will send you an email confirmation when you place your order, and we may pre-authorize the amount of your order on your credit card (and note that this email confirmation 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 confirmation when 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), (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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date, or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486.
Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:
  • Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
  • You will be responsible for all return shipping costs.
  • 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 charge your credit card on file a 15% restocking fee for returns missing any documentation, accessories or packaging.
  • We will refuse returns of damaged merchandise or items that show wear and tear.
  • We will charge your credit card on file the MSRP (plus tax) for returned items we do not receive within 15 days of the date your return is processed (less the amount you already paid).
Returns
After 30 days, we do not accept any returns for refunds. Only items that have been purchased from tivo.com can be returned to us. TiVo 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, the TiVo Mini, and the TiVo Stream) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal/warranties. Extended coverage warranty plans may also be available for purchase. 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 when your order ships, on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription, and (if applicable) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy.
Unless you have an All-In Plan subscription: (1) your TiVo service subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable); and (2) you authorize us to automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit card each billing date until you cancel your subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. 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).
Some notes about payments:
  • By subscribing to the TiVo service, you authorize us to charge the applicable subscription 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 subscription period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly subscription in January is for the TiVo service in the month of February).
  • Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some states, the tax will be based on the no-commitment 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 increase your monthly, annual, or other periodic subscription fee (for TiVo service) after any applicable minimum commitment period has been fulfilled, but we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of any change in this subscription fee. If you do not accept the new fees, you should terminate your subscription before the new fees go into effect.
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 of your subscription, 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.
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).
Open Source
Software that we provide to you may include open source code. Acknowledgments, licensing terms and disclaimers are contained in a "System Information," "Legal," or similar screen found in the menu of your TiVo product, and may also be available at tivo.com/legal/opensource. To the extent required, the terms of the applicable open source license (rather than the terms of this agreement) will apply to such code. Nothing in this agreement limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms of any applicable open source license.
IP Rights
Visit tivo.com/patents for a non-exhaustive list of patents that apply to our products and services. Software that we provide to you is licensed, not sold. This agreement does not provide you with any right or license (whether expressly, by implication, by estoppel, or otherwise) under the intellectual property rights of TiVo (or our licensors) other than to the extent expressly authorized above. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
Copyright Policy
If you are a copyright owner (or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right under copyright) and believe that your copyright is being infringed, we will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with Section 512(c)(3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
A notice of alleged copyright infringement must be a written communication provided to TiVo's designated agent that includes the following: (1) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf, (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, (3) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, (4) your contact information (including your name, address, telephone number, and email address), (5) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, and (6) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
We reserve the right to remove content alleged to be infringing without prior notice, at our sole discretion, and without liability to you. It is our policy to terminate a user's account if, under appropriate circumstances, the user is determined to be a repeat infringer. Our designated copyright agent for notices of alleged copyright infringement is: TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn: Copyright Agent, email: legal@tivo.com.
Feedback
If you submit any ideas or materials to us (whether in an email, using a "Contact Us" form, on a user forum, or via any other method), you agree that: (1) they will be non-confidential, (2) TiVo may have something similar already in development or under consideration, (3) TiVo will own them and be free to use them on an unrestricted basis, and (3) if TiVo does not own them, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and worldwide license to implement, use, modify or otherwise commercially exploit them in any way without any payment or accounting to you.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
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 states 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, this dispute resolution provision provides for all disputes between us to be resolved in binding arbitration or small claims court.
We have designed this dispute resolution provision to make the process as convenient and inexpensive 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 very 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 (or 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.
Class action waiver: We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis (and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action). Unless we each agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Informal dispute resolution: We each must try in good faith for 15 days to informally resolve any dispute before starting arbitration. A party who intends to seek 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 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 Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Those rules and information about how to start 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 identified, 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 an 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 frivolous 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.
Prevailing party: If you prevail in arbitration and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer, we will pay you either the amount of the award or $200, whichever is greater. If we prevail in arbitration, we will not seek, and hereby waive all rights we may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and costs.
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 above-set forth 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, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, 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.
Changes to this Agreement
We need the flexibility to update this agreement from time to time as our business changes. If we make substantive changes, 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 those 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 are substantive, 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 will satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
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.

All notices from TiVo to you must 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 as a whole and, in such event, such provision is to be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable position within the limits of applicable law.
Additional Apple Terms
You may use TiVo apps on your Apple-branded iOS products only as permitted by this agreement and any applicable Apple terms of use. We each acknowledge that: (1) this agreement is between you and TiVo only, and not with Apple, (2) TiVo is solely responsible for TiVo iOS apps, (3) Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to TiVo iOS apps, and (4) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, with the right to enforce this agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Table of Contents


This page contains the TiVo User Agreement and the TiVo.com Website Terms and Conditions. Activities related to shopping, ordering and purchasing a TiVo device, or using the online.tivo.com website are covered by the User Agreement. General, passive browsing is covered by the Website Terms and Conditions.
TiVo User Agreement
This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Inc. (including TiVo DVRs (also sometimes referred to as TiVo unified entertainment systems), mobile apps, and websites). 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.
A few things to note:
  • When we refer to "TiVo products" in this policy, we mean any device, software, or website offered by TiVo (including TiVo DVRs, the TiVo Mini, the TiVo Stream, TiVo mobile apps, and 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.
  • When we say “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy, we mean TiVo, and/or one or more of its corporate affiliates. TiVo Corporation is incorporated in the State of Delaware and its principle office is 2 Circle Star Way, San Carlos CA 94070 USA.
  • 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 United States, (2) the age of majority in your state, 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, and are not primarily intended to record music.
TiVo grants you a personal, non-commercial, and non-exclusive license to (1) access and use our websites, (2) install and use our mobile apps on mobile 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 (what we call the TiVo service) using authorized TiVo products.
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, see TiVo Service Subscriptions below for details.
  • Your personal information will be collected, used, and disclosed by TiVo in accordance with our privacy policy.
  • We do not endorse 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 the remote.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 10 TiVo devices (excluding only the TiVo Stream) on the same account.
Some TiVo products may let you stream or download your recorded content to your mobile devices. The following restrictions apply to streaming/downloading your recorded content:
  • You may sync a maximum number of 12 mobile devices.
  • You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (so no syncing 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 Stream, TiVo Roamio Plus/Pro DVR, or TiVo BOLT unified entertainment system.
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, or (4) attempt to circumvent technological measures or gain unauthorized access through hacking, password mining or any other means.
TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo products require a TiVo service subscription, and we currently offer three service plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (In prior versions of this user agreement, the All-In Plan was referred to as Product Lifetime service.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby TiVo service explicitly is (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo product (for example, as of the September 30, 2015 posting date of this user agreement, 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:
  • Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other periodic) TiVo service subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486, 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) at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, 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 an 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 the lifetime of your TiVo device (not your lifetime), 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. 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).
Multi-Service Discount
Through September 29, 2015, we offered discounted TiVo service fees when you had more than one TiVo DVR on the same customer account. For information on (1) the restrictions and eligibility requirements that have applied to this multi-service discount and (2) your ability to retain this multi-service discount, please visit Multi-Service Discount.
TiVo.com Orders
We sell and ship only to individuals within the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii. We will send you an email confirmation when you place your order, and we may pre-authorize the amount of your order on your credit card (and note that this email confirmation 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 confirmation when 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), (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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date, or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486.
Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:
  • Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
  • You will be responsible for all return shipping costs.
  • 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 charge your credit card on file a 15% restocking fee for returns missing any documentation, accessories or packaging.
  • We will refuse returns of damaged merchandise or items that show wear and tear.
  • We will charge your credit card on file the MSRP (plus tax) for returned items we do not receive within 15 days of the date your return is processed (less the amount you already paid).
Returns
After 30 days, we do not accept any returns for refunds. Only items that have been purchased from tivo.com can be returned to us. TiVo 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, the TiVo Mini, and the TiVo Stream) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal/warranties. Extended coverage warranty plans may also be available for purchase. 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 when your order ships, on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription, and (if applicable) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy.
Unless you have an All-In Plan subscription: (1) your TiVo service subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable); and (2) you authorize us to automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit card each billing date until you cancel your subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. 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).
Some notes about payments:
  • By subscribing to the TiVo service, you authorize us to charge the applicable subscription 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 subscription period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly subscription in January is for the TiVo service in the month of February).
  • Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some states, the tax will be based on the no-commitment 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 increase your monthly, annual, or other periodic subscription fee (for TiVo service) after any applicable minimum commitment period has been fulfilled, but we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of any change in this subscription fee. If you do not accept the new fees, you should terminate your subscription before the new fees go into effect.
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 of your subscription, 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.
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).
Open Source
Software that we provide to you may include open source code. Acknowledgments, licensing terms and disclaimers are contained in a "System Information," "Legal," or similar screen found in the menu of your TiVo product, and may also be available at tivo.com/legal/opensource. To the extent required, the terms of the applicable open source license (rather than the terms of this agreement) will apply to such code. Nothing in this agreement limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms of any applicable open source license.
IP Rights
Visit tivo.com/patents for a non-exhaustive list of patents that apply to our products and services. Software that we provide to you is licensed, not sold. This agreement does not provide you with any right or license (whether expressly, by implication, by estoppel, or otherwise) under the intellectual property rights of TiVo (or our licensors) other than to the extent expressly authorized above. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
Copyright Policy
If you are a copyright owner (or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right under copyright) and believe that your copyright is being infringed, we will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with Section 512(c)(3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
A notice of alleged copyright infringement must be a written communication provided to TiVo's designated agent that includes the following: (1) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf, (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, (3) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, (4) your contact information (including your name, address, telephone number, and email address), (5) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, and (6) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
We reserve the right to remove content alleged to be infringing without prior notice, at our sole discretion, and without liability to you. It is our policy to terminate a user's account if, under appropriate circumstances, the user is determined to be a repeat infringer. Our designated copyright agent for notices of alleged copyright infringement is: TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn: Copyright Agent, email: legal@tivo.com.
Feedback
If you submit any ideas or materials to us (whether in an email, using a "Contact Us" form, on a user forum, or via any other method), you agree that: (1) they will be non-confidential, (2) TiVo may have something similar already in development or under consideration, (3) TiVo will own them and be free to use them on an unrestricted basis, and (3) if TiVo does not own them, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and worldwide license to implement, use, modify or otherwise commercially exploit them in any way without any payment or accounting to you.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
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 states 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, this dispute resolution provision provides for all disputes between us to be resolved in binding arbitration or small claims court.
We have designed this dispute resolution provision to make the process as convenient and inexpensive 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 very 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 (or 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.
Class action waiver: We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis (and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action). Unless we each agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Informal dispute resolution: We each must try in good faith for 15 days to informally resolve any dispute before starting arbitration. A party who intends to seek 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 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 Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Those rules and information about how to start 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 identified, 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 an 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 frivolous 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.
Prevailing party: If you prevail in arbitration and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer, we will pay you either the amount of the award or $200, whichever is greater. If we prevail in arbitration, we will not seek, and hereby waive all rights we may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and costs.
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 above-set forth 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, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, 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.
Changes to this Agreement
We need the flexibility to update this agreement from time to time as our business changes. If we make substantive changes, 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 those 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 are substantive, 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.

This page contains the TiVo User Agreement and the TiVo.com Website Terms and Conditions. Activities related to shopping, ordering and purchasing a TiVo device, or using the online.tivo.com website are covered by the User Agreement. General, passive browsing is covered by the Website Terms and Conditions.
TiVo User Agreement
This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Inc. (including TiVo DVRs (also sometimes referred to as TiVo unified entertainment systems), mobile apps, and websites). 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.
A few things to note:
  • When we refer to "TiVo products" in this policy, we mean any device, software, or website offered by TiVo (including TiVo DVRs, the TiVo Mini, the TiVo Stream, TiVo mobile apps, and 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.
  • When we say “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy, we mean TiVo, and/or one or more of its corporate affiliates. TiVo Corporation is incorporated in the State of Delaware and its principle office is 2 Circle Star Way, San Carlos CA 94070 USA.
  • 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 United States, (2) the age of majority in your state, 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, and are not primarily intended to record music.
TiVo grants you a personal, non-commercial, and non-exclusive license to (1) access and use our websites, (2) install and use our mobile apps on mobile 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 (what we call the TiVo service) using authorized TiVo products.
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, see TiVo Service Subscriptions below for details.
  • Your personal information will be collected, used, and disclosed by TiVo in accordance with our privacy policy.
  • We do not endorse 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 the remote.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 10 TiVo devices (excluding only the TiVo Stream) on the same account.
Some TiVo products may let you stream or download your recorded content to your mobile devices. The following restrictions apply to streaming/downloading your recorded content:
  • You may sync a maximum number of 12 mobile devices.
  • You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (so no syncing 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 Stream, TiVo Roamio Plus/Pro DVR, or TiVo BOLT unified entertainment system.
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, or (4) attempt to circumvent technological measures or gain unauthorized access through hacking, password mining or any other means.
TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo products require a TiVo service subscription, and we currently offer three service plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (In prior versions of this user agreement, the All-In Plan was referred to as Product Lifetime service.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby TiVo service explicitly is (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo product (for example, as of the September 30, 2015 posting date of this user agreement, 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:
  • Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other periodic) TiVo service subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486, 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) at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, 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 an 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 the lifetime of your TiVo device (not your lifetime), 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. 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).

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).
Multi-Service Discount
Through September 29, 2015, we offered discounted TiVo service fees when you had more than one TiVo DVR on the same customer account. For information on (1) the restrictions and eligibility requirements that have applied to this multi-service discount and (2) your ability to retain this multi-service discount, please visit Multi-Service Discount.
TiVo.com Orders
We sell and ship only to individuals within the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii. We will send you an email confirmation when you place your order, and we may pre-authorize the amount of your order on your credit card (and note that this email confirmation 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 confirmation when 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), (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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date, or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486.
Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:
  • Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
  • You will be responsible for all return shipping costs.
  • 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 charge your credit card on file a 15% restocking fee for returns missing any documentation, accessories or packaging.
  • We will refuse returns of damaged merchandise or items that show wear and tear.
  • We will charge your credit card on file the MSRP (plus tax) for returned items we do not receive within 15 days of the date your return is processed (less the amount you already paid).
Returns
After 30 days, we do not accept any returns for refunds. Only items that have been purchased from tivo.com can be returned to us. TiVo 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, the TiVo Mini, and the TiVo Stream) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal/warranties. Extended coverage warranty plans may also be available for purchase. 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 when your order ships, on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription, and (if applicable) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy.
Unless you have an All-In Plan subscription: (1) your TiVo service subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable); and (2) you authorize us to automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit card each billing date until you cancel your subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. 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).
Some notes about payments:
  • By subscribing to the TiVo service, you authorize us to charge the applicable subscription 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 subscription period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly subscription in January is for the TiVo service in the month of February).
  • Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some states, the tax will be based on the no-commitment 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 increase your monthly, annual, or other periodic subscription fee (for TiVo service) after any applicable minimum commitment period has been fulfilled, but we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of any change in this subscription fee. If you do not accept the new fees, you should terminate your subscription before the new fees go into effect.
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 of your subscription, 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.
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).

Feedback
If you submit any ideas or materials to us (whether in an email, using a "Contact Us" form, on a user forum, or via any other method), you agree that: (1) they will be non-confidential, (2) TiVo may have something similar already in development or under consideration, (3) TiVo will own them and be free to use them on an unrestricted basis, and (3) if TiVo does not own them, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and worldwide license to implement, use, modify or otherwise commercially exploit them in any way without any payment or accounting to you.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
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 states 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, this dispute resolution provision provides for all disputes between us to be resolved in binding arbitration or small claims court.
We have designed this dispute resolution provision to make the process as convenient and inexpensive 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 very 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 (or 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.
Class action waiver: We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis (and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action). Unless we each agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Informal dispute resolution: We each must try in good faith for 15 days to informally resolve any dispute before starting arbitration. A party who intends to seek 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 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 Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Those rules and information about how to start 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 identified, 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 an 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 frivolous 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.
Prevailing party: If you prevail in arbitration and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer, we will pay you either the amount of the award or $200, whichever is greater. If we prevail in arbitration, we will not seek, and hereby waive all rights we may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and costs.
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 above-set forth 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, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, 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.
Changes to this Agreement
We need the flexibility to update this agreement from time to time as our business changes. If we make substantive changes, 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 those 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 are substantive, 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 will satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

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 as a whole and, in such event, such provision is to be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable position within the limits of applicable law.

TiVo's Privacy Policy
You consent to the collection, processing and storage by TiVo of Your personal information in accordance with the terms of TiVo's Privacy Policy, which is available https://www.tivo.com/legal/privacy. You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and the terms of TiVo's Privacy Policy, with respect to any access, use and/or submission by you of any personal information in connection with this Website.
General Legal Terms
The terms constitute the entire agreement between you and TiVo relating to their subject matter, and cancel and supersede any prior versions of the terms. No modification to the terms will be binding, unless in writing and signed by an authorized TiVo representative. You must not assign or otherwise transfer the terms or any right granted hereunder. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use TiVo or third-­party products or services.
You agree that any material breach of the terms will result in irreparable harm to TiVo for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, TiVo will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if TiVo seeks such an injunction.
California law and controlling U.S. federal law govern any action related to the terms and/or your use of the website. Choice of law rules of any jurisdiction and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to any dispute under the terms. You and TiVo agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Santa Clara, California, U.S.A.
Services, content, and product derived or obtained from this website may be subject to the U.S. export laws and the export or import laws of other countries. You agree to comply strictly with all such laws and, in particular, shall: (a) obtain any export, reexport, or import authorizations required by U.S. or your local laws; (b) not use services, content, or direct product from this website to design, develop or produce missile, chemical/biological, or nuclear weaponry; and (c) not provide services, content, or direct product from this Website to prohibited countries and entities identified in the U.S. export regulations.
Rights and obligations under the terms which by their nature should survive will remain in full effect after termination or expiration of the terms.
The website may contain forward-­looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-­looking statements may include statements regarding market expectations and opportunities, expectations about financials, research and development and strategies, statements concerning TiVo's roadmaps, market share growth, and product and service development and introduction, and our continuous evaluation of the competitiveness of our product and service offerings. These forward­-looking statements are just predictions and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from results discussed in the forward­-looking statements. Factors that may cause such a difference include risks related to adverse changes in general economic conditions, failure to reduce costs, lack of success in technical advancements, the timely development, production and acceptance of new products and services, and TiVo's ability to compete in a rapidly changing marketplace. For a detailed listing of the potential factors affecting TiVo's business and these forward-­looking statements, please refer to TiVo's periodic reports on Forms 10­Q and 10­K that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (available at http://www.sec.gov/).
Any express waiver or failure to exercise promptly any right under the terms will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non­enforcement. If any provision of the terms is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government, or by any court or arbitrator, the parties agree that such provision will be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, and the other provisions of the terms will remain in full force and effect.

User Agreement
Effective as of July 20, 2016.
This page contains the TiVo User Agreement and the TiVo.com Website Terms and Conditions. Activities related to shopping, ordering and purchasing a TiVo device, or using the online.tivo.com website are covered by the User Agreement. General, passive browsing is covered by the Website Terms and Conditions.
TiVo User Agreement
This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Inc. (including TiVo DVRs (also sometimes referred to as TiVo unified entertainment systems), mobile apps, and websites). 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.
A few things to note:
  • When we refer to "TiVo products" in this policy, we mean any device, software, or website offered by TiVo (including TiVo DVRs, the TiVo Mini, the TiVo Stream, TiVo mobile apps, and 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.
  • When we say “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy, we mean TiVo, and/or one or more of its corporate affiliates. TiVo Corporation is incorporated in the State of Delaware and its principle office is 2 Circle Star Way, San Carlos CA 94070 USA.
  • 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 United States, (2) the age of majority in your state, 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, and are not primarily intended to record music.
TiVo grants you a personal, non-commercial, and non-exclusive license to (1) access and use our websites, (2) install and use our mobile apps on mobile 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 (what we call the TiVo service) using authorized TiVo products.
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, see TiVo Service Subscriptions below for details.
  • Your personal information will be collected, used, and disclosed by TiVo in accordance with our privacy policy.
  • We do not endorse 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 the remote.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 10 TiVo devices (excluding only the TiVo Stream) on the same account.
Some TiVo products may let you stream or download your recorded content to your mobile devices. The following restrictions apply to streaming/downloading your recorded content:
  • You may sync a maximum number of 12 mobile devices.
  • You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (so no syncing 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 Stream, TiVo Roamio Plus/Pro DVR, or TiVo BOLT unified entertainment system.
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, or (4) attempt to circumvent technological measures or gain unauthorized access through hacking, password mining or any other means.
TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo products require a TiVo service subscription, and we currently offer three service plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (In prior versions of this user agreement, the All-In Plan was referred to as Product Lifetime service.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby TiVo service explicitly is (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo product (for example, as of the September 30, 2015 posting date of this user agreement, 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:
  • Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other periodic) TiVo service subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486, 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) at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, 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 an 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 the lifetime of your TiVo device (not your lifetime), 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. 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).
Multi-Service Discount
Through September 29, 2015, we offered discounted TiVo service fees when you had more than one TiVo DVR on the same customer account. For information on (1) the restrictions and eligibility requirements that have applied to this multi-service discount and (2) your ability to retain this multi-service discount, please visit Multi-Service Discount.
TiVo.com Orders
We sell and ship only to individuals within the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii. We will send you an email confirmation when you place your order, and we may pre-authorize the amount of your order on your credit card (and note that this email confirmation 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 confirmation when 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), (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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date, or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486.
Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:
  • Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
  • You will be responsible for all return shipping costs.
  • 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 charge your credit card on file a 15% restocking fee for returns missing any documentation, accessories or packaging.
  • We will refuse returns of damaged merchandise or items that show wear and tear.
  • We will charge your credit card on file the MSRP (plus tax) for returned items we do not receive within 15 days of the date your return is processed (less the amount you already paid).
Returns
After 30 days, we do not accept any returns for refunds. Only items that have been purchased from tivo.com can be returned to us. TiVo 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, the TiVo Mini, and the TiVo Stream) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available at tivo.com/legal/warranties. Extended coverage warranty plans may also be available for purchase. 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 when your order ships, on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription, and (if applicable) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy.
Unless you have an All-In Plan subscription: (1) your TiVo service subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable); and (2) you authorize us to automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit card each billing date until you cancel your subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. 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).
Some notes about payments:
  • By subscribing to the TiVo service, you authorize us to charge the applicable subscription 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 subscription period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly subscription in January is for the TiVo service in the month of February).
  • Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some states, the tax will be based on the no-commitment 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 increase your monthly, annual, or other periodic subscription fee (for TiVo service) after any applicable minimum commitment period has been fulfilled, but we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of any change in this subscription fee. If you do not accept the new fees, you should terminate your subscription before the new fees go into effect.
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 of your subscription, 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.
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).
Open Source
Software that we provide to you may include open source code. Acknowledgments, licensing terms and disclaimers are contained in a "System Information," "Legal," or similar screen found in the menu of your TiVo product, and may also be available at tivo.com/legal/opensource. To the extent required, the terms of the applicable open source license (rather than the terms of this agreement) will apply to such code. Nothing in this agreement limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms of any applicable open source license.
IP Rights
Visit tivo.com/patents for a non-exhaustive list of patents that apply to our products and services. Software that we provide to you is licensed, not sold. This agreement does not provide you with any right or license (whether expressly, by implication, by estoppel, or otherwise) under the intellectual property rights of TiVo (or our licensors) other than to the extent expressly authorized above. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
Copyright Policy
If you are a copyright owner (or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right under copyright) and believe that your copyright is being infringed, we will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with Section 512(c)(3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
A notice of alleged copyright infringement must be a written communication provided to TiVo's designated agent that includes the following: (1) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf, (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, (3) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, (4) your contact information (including your name, address, telephone number, and email address), (5) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, and (6) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
We reserve the right to remove content alleged to be infringing without prior notice, at our sole discretion, and without liability to you. It is our policy to terminate a user's account if, under appropriate circumstances, the user is determined to be a repeat infringer. Our designated copyright agent for notices of alleged copyright infringement is: TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn: Copyright Agent, email: legal@tivo.com.
Feedback
If you submit any ideas or materials to us (whether in an email, using a "Contact Us" form, on a user forum, or via any other method), you agree that: (1) they will be non-confidential, (2) TiVo may have something similar already in development or under consideration, (3) TiVo will own them and be free to use them on an unrestricted basis, and (3) if TiVo does not own them, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and worldwide license to implement, use, modify or otherwise commercially exploit them in any way without any payment or accounting to you.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
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 states 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, this dispute resolution provision provides for all disputes between us to be resolved in binding arbitration or small claims court.
We have designed this dispute resolution provision to make the process as convenient and inexpensive 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 very 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 (or 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.
Class action waiver: We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis (and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action). Unless we each agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Informal dispute resolution: We each must try in good faith for 15 days to informally resolve any dispute before starting arbitration. A party who intends to seek 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 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 Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Those rules and information about how to start 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 identified, 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 an 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 frivolous 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.
Prevailing party: If you prevail in arbitration and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer, we will pay you either the amount of the award or $200, whichever is greater. If we prevail in arbitration, we will not seek, and hereby waive all rights we may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and costs.
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 above-set forth 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, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, 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.
Changes to this Agreement
We need the flexibility to update this agreement from time to time as our business changes. If we make substantive changes, 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 those 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 are substantive, 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 will satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

User Agreement
Effective as of September 30, 2015
This user agreement governs your purchase and use of products and services offered by TiVo Inc. (including TiVo DVRs (also sometimes referred to as TiVo unified entertainment systems), mobile apps, and websites). 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.
A few things to note:
  • When we refer to "TiVo products" in this policy, we mean any device, software, or website offered by TiVo (including TiVo DVRs, the TiVo Mini, the TiVo Stream, TiVo mobile apps, and 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 United States, (2) the age of majority in your state, 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, and are not primarily intended to record music.
TiVo grants you a personal, non-commercial, and non-exclusive license to (1) access and use our websites, (2) install and use our mobile apps on mobile 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 (what we call the TiVo service) using authorized TiVo products.
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, see TiVo Service Subscriptions below for details.
  • Your personal information will be collected, used, and disclosed by TiVo in accordance with our privacy policyWe do not endorse 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 the remote.
Restrictions
You may have a maximum number of 10 TiVo devices (excluding only the TiVo Stream) on the same account.
Some TiVo products may let you stream or download your recorded content to your mobile devices. The following restrictions apply to streaming/downloading your recorded content:
  • You may sync a maximum number of 12 mobile devices.
  • You may only sync mobile devices that you own or control (so no syncing 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 Stream, TiVo Roamio Plus/Pro DVR, or TiVo BOLT unified entertainment system.
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, or (4) attempt to circumvent technological measures or gain unauthorized access through hacking, password mining or any other means.
TiVo Service Subscriptions
Certain TiVo products require a TiVo service subscription, and we currently offer three service plan options: monthly, annual, and an All-In Plan. (In prior versions of this user agreement, the All-In Plan was referred to as Product Lifetime service.) Unless TiVo presents an offer whereby TiVo service explicitly is (1) included as part of the purchase price of the TiVo product (for example, as of the September 30, 2015 posting date of this user agreement, 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:
  • Until you cancel a monthly or annual (or other periodic) TiVo service subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486, 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) at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, 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 an 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 the lifetime of your TiVo device (not your lifetime), 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. 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).
Multi-Service Discount
Through September 29, 2015, we offered discounted TiVo service fees when you had more than one TiVo DVR on the same customer account. For information on (1) the restrictions and eligibility requirements that have applied to this multi-service discount and (2) your ability to retain this multi-service discount, please visit Multi-Service Discount.
TiVo.com Orders
We sell and ship only to individuals within the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii. We will send you an email confirmation when you place your order, and we may pre-authorize the amount of your order on your credit card (and note that this email confirmation 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 confirmation when 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), (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
We love our products, and we hope that you will too, so we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases from tivo.com and on all newly-activated TiVo service subscriptions. Return any item you purchase from tivo.com within 30 days of the order shipment date, or cancel any newly-activated TiVo service subscription within 30 days of the activation date, and we will give you a full refund (with no early termination fee). To start the return or cancellation process, call customer service at 1-877-367-8486.
Some notes about our 30-day money-back guarantee:
  • Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
  • You will be responsible for all return shipping costs.
  • 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 charge your credit card on file a 15% restocking fee for returns missing any documentation, accessories or packaging.
  • We will refuse returns of damaged merchandise or items that show wear and tear.
  • We will charge your credit card on file the MSRP (plus tax) for returned items we do not receive within 15 days of the date your return is processed (less the amount you already paid).
Returns
After 30 days, we do not accept any returns for refunds. Only items that have been purchased from tivo.com can be returned to us. TiVo 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, the TiVo Mini, and the TiVo Stream) are covered by a limited warranty. Details are available attivo.com/legal/warranties. Extended coverage warranty plans may also be available for purchase. 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 when your order ships, on each billing date for your TiVo service subscription, and (if applicable) when we process a return or cancellation for restocking or early termination fees. You are responsible for reviewing your credit card statement for billing accuracy.
Unless you have an All-In Plan subscription: (1) your TiVo service subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, and unless we notify you otherwise, at the same monthly, annual or other periodic service fee (as applicable); and (2) you authorize us to automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit card each billing date until you cancel your subscription by calling customer service at 1-877-367-8486. 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).
Some notes about payments:
  • By subscribing to the TiVo service, you authorize us to charge the applicable subscription 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 subscription period immediately following the billing date (so a charge for a monthly subscription in January is for the TiVo service in the month of February).
  • Sales and use tax will be charged on your order based upon the jurisdiction to which the product will be shipped. In some states, the tax will be based on the no-commitment 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 increase your monthly, annual, or other periodic subscription fee (for TiVo service) after any applicable minimum commitment period has been fulfilled, but we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of any change in this subscription fee. If you do not accept the new fees, you should terminate your subscription before the new fees go into effect.
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 of your subscription, 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.
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).
Open Source
Software that we provide to you may include open source code. Acknowledgments, licensing terms and disclaimers are contained in a "System Information," "Legal," or similar screen found in the menu of your TiVo product, and may also be available attivo.com/legal/opensource. To the extent required, the terms of the applicable open source license (rather than the terms of this agreement) will apply to such code. Nothing in this agreement limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms of any applicable open source license.
IP Rights
Visit tivo.com/patents for a non-exhaustive list of patents that apply to our products and services. Software that we provide to you is licensed, not sold. This agreement does not provide you with any right or license (whether expressly, by implication, by estoppel, or otherwise) under the intellectual property rights of TiVo (or our licensors) other than to the extent expressly authorized above. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.

Feedback
If you submit any ideas or materials to us (whether in an email, using a "Contact Us" form, on a user forum, or via any other method), you agree that: (1) they will be non-confidential, (2) TiVo may have something similar already in development or under consideration, (3) TiVo will own them and be free to use them on an unrestricted basis, and (3) if TiVo does not own them, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and worldwide license to implement, use, modify or otherwise commercially exploit them in any way without any payment or accounting to you.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
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 states 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, this dispute resolution provision provides for all disputes between us to be resolved in binding arbitration or small claims court.
We have designed this dispute resolution provision to make the process as convenient and inexpensive 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 very 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 (or 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.
Class action waiver: We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis (and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action). Unless we each agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Informal dispute resolution: We each must try in good faith for 15 days to informally resolve any dispute before starting arbitration. A party who intends to seek 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 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 Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Those rules and information about how to start 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 identified, 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 an 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 frivolous 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.
Prevailing party: If you prevail in arbitration and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer, we will pay you either the amount of the award or $200, whichever is greater. If we prevail in arbitration, we will not seek, and hereby waive all rights we may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and costs.
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 above-set forth 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, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, 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.
Changes to this Agreement
We need the flexibility to update this agreement from time to time as our business changes. If we make substantive changes, 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 those 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 are substantive, 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 will satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
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.
Notices: All notices from you to TiVo must be sent via certified mail to TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, attn.: Legal Department, and will be deemed given on receipt by TiVo. All notices from TiVo to you must 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 as a whole 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
You may use TiVo apps on your Apple-branded iOS products only as permitted by this agreement and any applicable Apple terms of use. We each acknowledge that: (1) this agreement is between you and TiVo only, and not with Apple, (2) TiVo is solely responsible for TiVo iOS apps, (3) Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to TiVo iOS apps, and (4) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, with the right to enforce this agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

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

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 My Account under the Limit Ad Tracking menu as depicted in Figure 1 below.

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

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.

Opting Out of Personalization and Certain Disclosures and Uses
TiVo allows you to manage many settings within your My Account section of the TiVo website. Log into your account and go to Privacy Status to change your preferences.

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 My Account and changing your settings under Privacy Status. 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 on the device. Cancelling the TiVo service will stop your TiVo product from functioning. To manage your account and services, log into My Account and go to Devices and Services. TiVo may, at its option, delete all information for any cancelled accounts.

If you do not want any data shared by the mobile app, please delete the app from your mobile device.

Right to Opt Out of Disclosures to Certain Unaffiliated Third Parties and Information Use for Purposes Other Than Those for Which the Information Was Originally Provided
Depending on applicable law and the jurisdiction in which you reside or are located, you may have the right to opt out of (a) disclosures of personal information to an unaffiliated third party who does not serve as our agent or service provider, if any, or (b) use of personal information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized if any such use occurs.

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.

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.

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.

Non-Personal, De-Identified, or Product-Level Information

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/.

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.

Xperi has further committed to refer unresolved complaints concerning personal data collected and processed under the Privacy Shield Framework to the BBB EU Privacy Shield Program, an alternative dispute resolution provider located in the United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your complaint to your satisfaction, please visit https://bbbprograms.org/programs/all-programs/bbb-eu-privacy-shield-consumers/ProcessForConsumers for more information or to file a complaint. The services of BBB EU Privacy Shield Program are provided at no cost to you.
Xperi commits to cooperate with the EU Data Protection Authorities as it relates to human resources data transferred from the EU in the context of the employment relationship and shall comply with the advice given by such authorities.
If other methods for resolution of complaints relating to personal data transferred under the Privacy Shield Framework fail, in limited circumstances, you may invoke a binding arbitration option before the Privacy Shield Panel.
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.
When we use Processors to perform processing tasks at our direction and instruction, we require that the processors utilize one of the following:
  • Privacy Shield Certifications and compliance with the General Data Protection Regulations or another adequacy finding (when the Processor is outside of the EU or UK); or
  • Enter into a contractual agreement requiring that the Processor use the Personal Data for the limited, contractual purpose and provide the same level of data protection as Xperi to the Personal Data.
In cases of onward transfer to Processors, we may be liable for damages if the third party (Processor) fail to comply with their contractual obligations.

Children
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 we learn that we have inadvertently gathered Personal Information from a child under 16, we will take reasonable measures to remove that information from our records. 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 privacyrequest@xperi.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 privacyrequest@xperi.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.

Changes to the Privacy Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy online on this page, and if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of privacy policy changes).

Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, using cookies, web beacons, pixels, add tags or other clear GIFs and similar technologies, 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, 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. Specific 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.

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

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.

CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF THE DATA THAT WE COLLECT, REFERRED TO AS FUNCTIONAL DATA, ARE NECESSARY FOR YOUR TIVO PRODUCT TO PERFORM ITS BASIC FUNCTIONS SECURELY AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPT OUT OF THE COLLECTION OF THIS FUNCTIONAL DATA AND ITS USE TO PROVIDE PRODUCT FUNCTIONALITY.

If you have questions about your privacy on TiVo products or services, this privacy policy, or information we have about you, please contact us at privacyrequest@xperi.com.

We will respond to your request in a reasonable period of time upon verification of your identity. We recommend you include documents that prove your identity and a clear and precise description of the information which you request access.

Opting Out of Personalization
TiVo allows you to manage many settings within your My Account section of the TiVo website. Log into your account and go to Privacy Status to change your preferences.

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 My Account and changing your settings under Privacy Status. 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 on the device. Cancelling the TiVo service will stop your TiVo product from functioning. To manage your account and services, log into My Account and go to Devices and Services. TiVo may, at its option, delete all information for any cancelled accounts.

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.

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/.

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.

How We Share Your Information

TiVo may disclose and share, including sale of, and has done so in the past 12 months, your Personal Information in the following ways:


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



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 My Account under the Limit Ad Tracking menu as depicted in Figure 1 below. You also may opt out of marketing email communications from TiVo as depicted in Figure 2 depicted below.

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.


How to Access, Update and Manage Your Information

If you are a registered user of TiVo products or services, we provide you with tools and account settings to access, correct, delete, or modify the information you provided to us and associated with your account. You can access, update, and correct or delete inaccuracies by logging into your account for the particular TiVo product or service. For example, to update or manage your information related to a TiVo DVR product or the TiVo online service you may visit tivo.com.


CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF THE DATA THAT WE COLLECT, REFERRED TO AS FUNCTIONAL DATA, ARE NECESSARY FOR YOUR TIVO PRODUCT TO PERFORM ITS BASIC FUNCTIONS SECURELY AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPT OUT OF THE COLLECTION OF THIS FUNCTIONAL DATA AND ITS USE TO PROVIDE PRODUCT FUNCTIONALITY.


If you have questions about your privacy on TiVo products or services, this privacy policy, or information we have about you, please contact us at privacyrequest@xperi.com. You can also contact our privacy representative by sending a letter to TiVo, Attn: Privacy Officer, Legal Department, 2190 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, United States. We will respond to your request in a reasonable period of time upon verification of your identity. We recommend you include documents that prove your identity and a clear and precise description of the information which you request access.


Opting Out of Personalization

TiVo allows you to manage many settings within your My Account section of the TiVo website. Log into your account and go to Privacy Status to change your preferences.


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 My Account and changing your settings under Privacy Status. 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.

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.

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.

The data protection laws in these countries may not offer the same level of protection as those in the country where you are located.

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.

E.U.-U.S. Specific 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.

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.

When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, using cookies, web beacons, pixels, add tags or other clear GIFs and similar technologies, 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, 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.

Children

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 we learn that we have inadvertently gathered Personal Information from a child under 16, we will take reasonable measures to remove that information from our records. 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.


Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy online on this page, and if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of privacy policy changes).

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.

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.

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.

Opting Out of Personalization

TiVo Allows you to manage many settings within your Manage My Account section of the TiVo website. Log into your account and go to Privacy Status to change your preferences or call customer support for help 1-877-367-8486.

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 Status, 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.

In any event, certain legal or regulatory requirements may require that some of your data to be retained.

If you do not want any data shared by the mobile app, please delete the app from your mobile device.

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/.

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.

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.

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. We may share your personal information with 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 and disclose De-Identified Data to third parties in our absolute discretion.

How to Access, Update and Manage Your Information

If you are a registered user of TiVo products or services, we provide you with tools and account settings to access, correct, delete, or modify the information you provided to us and associated with your account. You can access, update, and correct or delete inaccuracies by logging into your account for the particular TiVo product or service. For example, to update or manage your information related to a TiVo DVR product or the TiVo online service you may visit tivo.com.

CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF THE DATA THAT WE COLLECT, REFERRED TO AS FUNCTIONAL DATA, ARE NECESSARY FOR YOUR TIVO PRODUCT TO PERFORM ITS BASIC FUNCTIONS SECURELY AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPT OUT OF THE COLLECTION OF THIS FUNCTIONAL DATA AND ITS USE TO PROVIDE PRODUCT FUNCTIONALITY.

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.

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.

How We Share Your Information

TiVo shares your information in the following ways including for the last 12 months:

User Consent or Direction

We may share or disclose your information at your direction, such as when you authorize a Third-Party Application to access your account. Based on your permissions, information can be shared with Third Party Applications and 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 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. We may share your personal information with 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 and disclose De-Identified Data to third parties in our absolute discretion.

You can access, update, and correct or delete inaccuracies by logging into your account for the particular TiVo product or service. For example, to update or manage your information related to a TiVo DVR product or the TiVo online service you may visit tivo.com.

CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF THE DATA THAT WE COLLECT, REFERRED TO AS FUNCTIONAL DATA, ARE NECESSARY FOR YOUR TIVO PRODUCT TO PERFORM ITS BASIC FUNCTIONS SECURELY AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPT OUT OF THE COLLECTION OF THIS FUNCTIONAL DATA AND ITS USE TO PROVIDE PRODUCT FUNCTIONALITY.

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.

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.

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.

How We Share Your Information

User Consent or Direction

We may share or disclose your information at your direction, such as when you authorize a Third-Party Application to access your account. Based on your permissions, information can be shared with Third Party Applications and 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 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. We may share your personal information with 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 and disclose De-Identified Data to third parties in our absolute discretion.

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.

Where permitted by applicable law, TiVo stores these email addresses so that the respondents may be added to the friend list of the member sending the invitations and to establish relationships between users.

Automated Information Collection
When you use or interact with TiVo products or services, we may use a variety of technologies that collect information about how the product(s) or service(s) is accessed and used. This information may include:
  • your type of subscription;
  • your interactions with TiVo products or services (such as how you use, watch, record, rate and interact with content);
  • TiVo device data (such as model number, software versions, and unique device identifiers);
  • location data (such as GPS data, zip code, and time zone);
  • cable service data (such as cable provider and cable channels);
  • personal information that may indirectly identify you (such as URL information, cookie data, and your IP address;
  • data which may not directly identify you but is collected as you use our products and services which may include network connection type and provider, and information related to searches or recommendations on TiVo’s products and services;
  • functional data such as registration, system and performance data;

Third-Party Application Data
You may integrate your TiVo account with certain third-party applications, websites, and 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 device 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 do 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. If you wish to stop the collection or sharing of information with the specific Third-Party Application you have authorized, you need to disable the feature. TiVo does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for the behavior, features, or content of any Third-Party Application or for any transaction you may enter into with the provider of any such Third-Party Applications.
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.

Functional Data
Certain categories of data collected by TiVo are necessary for your TiVo device or the TiVo service to perform its functions and you will not be able to opt out from this data collection, sharing and/or processing. Data falling into these categories is referred to as “Functional Data.”

Audio Data for Voice Control Functionality
If you utilize a TiVo device with voice control functionality, then upon activating voice control the TiVo device begins recording. The TiVo device will only record while you have the voice control activated. The recording is collected by TiVo and/or its service provider. The actual recording of your voice command is then processed by TiVo and/or its service provider to provide the requested functionality.

Your Mobile Device
If you download or use our mobile applications(s), we may collect, either through your mobile device or the application itself, your mobile device identifier, hardware model, operating system version or mobile network information (as well as any registration data you provide to us). We may also collect geolocation information, which may be used for operational and product- or service-related purposes, such as to customize information based on your location.

Payment Data
If you subscribe to the TiVo service or make other purchases through a TiVo product, TiVo service, or through a TiVo sales specialist, your credit or debit card information (such as card type and expiration date), billing address, shipping address, and other financial data that we need to process your payment or purchase may be collected and stored by us and/or the payment processors with which we work. We may also collect some limited information, such as your postal code, mobile number, and details of your transaction history. In addition, the payment processors generally provide us with some limited information related to you, such as a unique token that enables you to make additional purchases using the information they’ve stored, and your card’s type, expiration date, and certain digits of your card number.

Sweepstakes, Contests & Surveys
From time to time, we may offer you the opportunity to participate in promotions such as sweepstakes, contests, offers, and/or surveys (“Promotional Offers”). A Promotional Offer may be governed by a privacy policy and/or terms and conditions that are additional to, or separate from, this Privacy Policy. If the provisions of the Promotional Offer’s privacy policy or terms and conditions conflict with this Privacy Policy or the relevant user agreement or terms of service for the TiVo product or service that is offering the Promotional Offer, those additional or separate provisions shall prevail. If you participate in a Promotional Offer, we may ask you for certain information in addition to what is stated in this Privacy Policy, including personal information. That additional information may be combined with other account information and may be used and shared as described in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise described in such Promotional Offer’s privacy policy or terms and conditions.

The third-party advertising and business associates may use that information to assist in targeting advertising, promotions, products, or services.

Service Providers
We engage service providers to perform functions and provide services to us in the United States and other countries. For example, we use a variety of third-party services to help provide TiVo services and to help us understand and improve the use of TiVo products and services. We may share your personal information with such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
We share your payment information, including your credit or debit card number, card expiration date, CVV code and billing address with payment service providers to process payments, prevent, detect and investigate fraud or other prohibited activities; facilitate dispute resolution such as chargebacks or refunds; and for other purposes associated with the acceptance of payment.

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, Aggregated, or Device-Level Information
We may create non-personal, aggregated, or device 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 and disclose De-Identified Data to third-party companies in our absolute discretion.

How to Access, Update and Manage Your Information
If you are a registered user of TiVo products or services, we provide you with tools and account settings to access, correct, delete, or modify the information you provided to us and associated with your account. You can access, update, and correct or delete inaccuracies by logging into your account for the particular TiVo product or service. For example, to update or manage your information related to a TiVo DVR product or the TiVo online service you may visit tivo.com.

CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF THE DATA THAT WE COLLECT, REFERRED TO AS FUNCTIONAL DATA, ARE NECESSARY FOR YOUR TIVO PRODUCT TO PERFORM ITS BASIC FUNCTIONS IN A SECURE WAY AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPT OUT OF THE COLLECTION OF THIS FUNCTIONAL DATA AND ITS USE TO PROVIDE THE DEVICE FUNCTIONALITY.

If you have questions about your privacy on TiVo products or services, this privacy policy, or information we have about you, please contact us at privacy@tivo.com. You can also contact our privacy representative by sending a letter to TiVo, Attn: Privacy Officer, Legal Department, 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, United States. We will respond to your request in a reasonable period of time upon verification of your identity with local laws. We recommend you include documents that prove your identity and a clear and precise description of the information which you request access.

Specific Information for various products or offered services:

TiVo Devices 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 contacting TiVo Customer Support (support.tivo.com/ContactTiVoSupport) and requesting to opt out under the TiVo Privacy Policy. Please note that the viewing logs are Functional Data, therefore while the data will not be used in the analytics business or shared in a de-identified format with third parties it will still be collected and processed as necessary to continue providing you 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 device from functioning. TiVo may, at its option, delete all information for any cancelled accounts. To reactivate your TiVo account you should contact TiVo Customer Support; however, if account information was deleted, reactivating an account may not be possible and a new account would need to be created. We reserve the right (subject to applicable law) to decline requests that are impractical or may jeopardize the privacy of others.

TiVo Mobile Apps
If you do not want us to collect location data from a TiVo mobile app, you can disable location services on your mobile device. If you do not want any data shared by the mobile app, please delete the app from your mobile device.

Marketing Emails
If you do not want to receive marketing emails from us, you can change your email preferences by logging into your account on tivo.com or clicking on the included “unsubscribe” link (though you will still receive certain account-related emails). We will send you marketing emails only where we are permitted to do so by applicable law.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, including "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 associates, 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 on how 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”). The industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what Do Not Track means, what it means to comply with Do Not Track, and a common approach to responding to Do Not Track. 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 Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. 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 device, 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/.

Privacy Policy of Third Party Services
Our products and services may contain advertisements from third-party advertisers, which are companies other than TiVo that may link to their own websites, online services, or mobile applications. Additionally, as discussed previously in this policy, you may choose to integrate your TiVo account with Third Party Applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party advertisers or Third-Party Applications. If you have questions about how these third-party services use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.

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. Information collected within the European Economic Area (EEA) may, for example, 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. Similarly, information collected within Canada may be transferred and processed by TiVo or third parties in a country outside of Canada. By providing your personal information to us you understand and expressly consent to us and our 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 the EEA and Canada and other countries may have certain statutory rights in relation to their personal data. Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to request access, seek to update, delete or correct this personal data.
Residents of the EEA, please refer to TiVo’s Privacy Policy for Residents of the EEA for TiVo’s policy related to the collection and use of data.

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield
TiVo Solutions Inc. and its subsidiaries comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the EEA to the United States. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website, http://privacyshield.gov. To learn more about TiVo Solutions Inc.’s participation in the Privacy Shield Framework, please see TiVo Solutions Inc.’s Privacy Shield Notice.

Data Protection Authority
If you are a resident of the EEA and believe we maintain your personal data within the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation you may direct questions or complaints to privacy@tivo.com and direct such questions to TiVo’s Data Controller. Subject to applicable law, you may (i) restrict TiVo’s use of information that is your personal data, and (ii) lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. If the TiVo data protection officer for EMEA region is unable to help you, we suggest you refer to your local privacy regulator for help. For example, in the UK that would be the information commissioner’s office at: https://ico.org.uk/.

Children
The TiVo products and services are not directed to children under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 16. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personally identifiable information from a child under 16, we will take reasonable measures to remove that information from our records. If you are a parent of a child under age 16 and become aware that your child has provided personally identifiable 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 audio 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-personalize 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.

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 user name, ID and password for any of the TiVo products and services. Please take care when using and storing them.

Changes to the Privacy Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy online on this page, and if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of privacy policy changes).

Hi! Welcome to the TiVo Privacy Policy.


Introduction
As you review our policy, keep in mind that when using any of our products or services or interacting with TiVo Corporation, TiVo Solutions, Inc., or Rovi Corporation or any of our subsidiaries that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, “TiVo,” “we,” or “us”) or that do not have a separate privacy policy, you consent to the collection, transfer, storage, processing, disclosure and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. This includes any information you choose to provide that is deemed sensitive under applicable law. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, do not access or use the TiVo products, services or any other aspect of TiVo’s business.
NOTE: Residents of the EEA should refer to TiVo’s Privacy Policy for Residents of the European Economic Area for the TiVo policy that applies to the collection and use of their data.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party applications or software that integrate with TiVo products or services, or any other third-party products, services, or businesses. TiVo products provided to you directly by your cable or satellite provider are subject to their privacy policy (and not this Privacy Policy). Additionally, separate agreements will govern the delivery, access and use of TiVo products and/or services as specified for such products (such as the terms of service governing the delivery of the TiVo Service, the “TiVo User Agreement”).

Key Highlights of What You Are Consenting To
By using or interacting with TiVo products or services you are consenting to:
  • the use of cookies and automated information collection;
  • the transfer of your information outside of the country where you live;
  • the collection use, sharing and other processing of your information, including for analytics and advertising-related purposes; and
  • the use of your information received from third-parties and affiliates.
In each case, you consent to the processing of data by the entities described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It
Registration Data
When you sign up for a TiVo provided service or activate a TiVo product, we may ask you for information such as your username, password, email address, address, country, date of birth or other demographic information. You may also choose to voluntarily add other information to your profile, such as your mobile phone number. We will store the information provided on our systems and use it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy

Social Media and Profiles
For certain TiVo products and services, the information that we may ask you to provide could include name, gender, location, email address, biographical information, and the movies and television shows that you like to watch. When you create such a profile, you may be asked if you want your profile to be public or private. Unless you state that you want your profile to be private your profile will be public, subject to applicable law.
To facilitate searching for and finding friends on some of TiVo's products and services, TiVo allows users to search for other members using text searches, first and last name, email address, and by using other attributes. Users can invite friends to join certain TiVo products and services by sending invitation emails via our automated invitation system. Where permitted by applicable law, TiVo stores these email addresses so that the respondents may be added to the friend list of the member sending the invitations and to establish relationships between users.

Automated Information Collection
When you use or interact with TiVo products or services, we may use a variety of technologies that collect information about how the product(s) or service(s) is accessed and used. This information may include:
  • your type of subscription;
  • your interactions with TiVo products or services (such as how you use, watch, record, rate and interact with content);
  • TiVo device data (such as model number, software versions, and unique device identifiers);
  • location data (such as GPS data, zip code, and time zone);
  • cable service data (such as cable provider and cable channels);
  • data which may not directly identify you but is collected as you use our products and services which may include URL information, cookie data, your IP address, network connection type and provider, and information related to searches or recommendations on TiVo’s products and services;
  • functional data such as registration, system and performance data;
  • audio data (if you enable or utilize voice control functionality);
  • motion-generated or orientation-generated mobile sensor data (e.g. accelerometer or gyroscope).

Third-Party Application Data
You may integrate your TiVo account with certain third-party applications, websites, and 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 device 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 do 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. If you wish to stop the collection or sharing of information with the specific Third-Party Application you have authorized, you need to disable the feature. TiVo does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for the behavior, features, or content of any Third-Party Application or for any transaction you may enter into with the provider of any such Third-Party Applications.
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.

Functional Data
Certain categories of data collected by TiVo are necessary for your TiVo device or the TiVo service to perform its functions and you will not be able to opt out from this data collection, sharing and/or processing. Data falling into these categories is referred to as “Functional Data.”

Audio Data for Voice Control Functionality
If you utilize a TiVo device with voice control functionality, then upon activating voice control the TiVo device begins recording. The TiVo device will only record while you have the voice control activated. The recording is collected by TiVo and/or its service provider. The actual recording of your voice command is then processed by TiVo and/or its service provider to provide the requested functionality.

If the provisions of the Promotional Offer’s privacy policy or terms and conditions conflict with this Privacy Policy or the relevant user agreement or terms of service for the TiVo product or service that is offering the Promotional Offer, those additional or separate provisions shall prevail. If you participate in a Promotional Offer, we may ask you for certain information in addition to what is stated in this Privacy Policy, including personal information. That additional information may be combined with other account information and may be used and shared as described in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise described in such Promotional Offer’s privacy policy or terms and conditions.

Based on your permissions, information can be shared with Third Party Applications and 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 policies 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.

Marketing and Advertising
Where permitted by applicable law, we may provide third-party advertising companies and other business associates with information that does not directly identify you. The third-party advertising and business associates may use that information to assist in targeting advertising, promotions, products, or services.

Service Providers
We engage service providers to perform functions and provide services to us in the United States and other countries. For example, we use a variety of third-party services to help provide TiVo services and to help us understand and improve the use of TiVo products and services. We may share your personal information with such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
We share your payment information, including your credit or debit card number, card expiration date, CVV code and billing address with payment service providers to process payments, prevent, detect and investigate fraud or other prohibited activities; facilitate dispute resolution such as chargebacks or refunds; and for other purposes associated with the acceptance of payment.

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. 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, Aggregated, or Device-Level Information
We may create non-personal, aggregated, or device 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 and disclose De-Identified Data to third-party companies in our absolute discretion.

How to Access, Update and Manage Your Information
If you are a registered user of TiVo products or services, we provide you with tools and account settings to access, correct, delete, or modify the information you provided to us and associated with your account. You can access, update, and correct or delete inaccuracies by logging into your account for the particular TiVo product or service. For example, to update or manage your information related to a TiVo DVR product or the TiVo online service you may visit tivo.com.
CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF THE DATA THAT WE COLLECT, REFERRED TO AS FUNCTIONAL DATA, ARE NECESSARY FOR YOUR TIVO PRODUCT TO PERFORM ITS BASIC FUNCTIONS IN A SECURE WAY AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPT OUT OF THE COLLECTION OF THIS FUNCTIONAL DATA AND ITS USE TO PROVIDE THE DEVICE FUNCTIONALITY.
If you have questions about your privacy on TiVo products or services, this privacy policy, or information we have about you, please contact us at privacy@tivo.com. You can also contact our privacy representative by sending a letter to TiVo, Attn: Privacy Officer, Legal Department, 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, United States. We will respond to your request in a reasonable period of time upon verification of your identity with local laws. We recommend you include documents that prove your identity and a clear and precise description of the information which you request access.
Specific Information for various products or offered services:
TiVo Devices 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 contacting TiVo Customer Support (support.tivo.com/ContactTiVoSupport) and requesting to opt out under the TiVo Privacy Policy. Please note that the viewing logs are Functional Data, therefore while the data will not be used in the analytics business or shared in a de-identified format with third parties it will still be collected and processed as necessary to continue providing you 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 device from functioning. TiVo may, at its option, delete all information for any cancelled accounts. To reactivate your TiVo account you should contact TiVo Customer Support; however, if account information was deleted, reactivating an account may not be possible and a new account would need to be created. We reserve the right (subject to applicable law) to decline requests that are impractical or may jeopardize the privacy of others.
TiVo Mobile Apps
If you do not want us to collect location data from a TiVo mobile app, you can disable location services on your mobile device. If you do not want any data shared by the mobile app, please delete the app from your mobile device.
Marketing Emails
If you do not want to receive marketing emails from us, you can change your email preferences by logging into your account on tivo.com or clicking on the included “unsubscribe” link (though you will still receive certain account-related emails). We will send you marketing emails only where we are permitted to do so by applicable law.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, including "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 associates, 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 on how 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”). The industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what Do Not Track means, what it means to comply with Do Not Track, and a common approach to responding to Do Not Track. 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 Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. 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. If you delete your cookies or use a different browser or mobile device, 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/.

Privacy Policy of Third Party Services
Our products and services may contain advertisements from third-party advertisers, which are companies other than TiVo that may link to their own websites, online services, or mobile applications. Additionally, as discussed previously in this policy, you may choose to integrate your TiVo account with Third Party Applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party advertisers or Third-Party Applications. If you have questions about how these third-party services use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.

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. Information collected within the European Economic Area (EEA) may, for example, 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 us and our 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 the EEA and other countries may have certain statutory rights in relation to their personal data. Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to request access, seek to update, delete or correct this personal data.
Residents of the EEA, please refer to TiVo’s Privacy Policy for Residents of the EEA for TiVo’s policy related to the collection and use of data.

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield
TiVo Solutions Inc. and its subsidiaries comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the EEA to the United States. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website, http://privacyshield.gov. To learn more about TiVo Solutions Inc.’s participation in the Privacy Shield Framework, please see TiVo Solutions Inc.’s Privacy Shield Notice.

Data Protection Authority
If you are a resident of the EEA and believe we maintain your personal data within the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation you may direct questions or complaints to privacy@tivo.com and direct such questions to TiVo’s Data Controller. Subject to applicable law, you may (i) restrict TiVo’s use of information that is your personal data, and (ii) lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. If the TiVo data protection officer for EMEA region is unable to help you, we suggest you refer to your local privacy regulator for help. For example, in the UK that would be the information commissioner’s office at: https://ico.org.uk/.

Children
The TiVo products and services are not directed to children under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 16. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personally identifiable information from a child under 16, we will take reasonable measures to remove that information from our records. If you are a parent of a child under age 16 and become aware that your child has provided personally identifiable 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 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.

Security of Your Information
We use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information. 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 user name, ID and password for any of the TiVo products and services. Please take care when using and storing them.

We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy online on this page, and if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of privacy policy changes).

Hi! Welcome to the TiVo Privacy Policy.


Introduction
As you review our policy, keep in mind that when using any of our products or services or interacting with TiVo Corporation, TiVo Solutions, Inc., or Rovi Corporation or any of our subsidiaries that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, “TiVo,” “we,” or “us”) or that do not have a separate privacy policy, you consent to the collection, transfer, storage, processing, disclosure and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. This includes any information you choose to provide that is deemed sensitive under applicable law. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, do not access or use the TiVo products, services or any other aspect of TiVo’s business.
NOTE: Residents of the EEA should refer to TiVo’s Privacy Policy for Residents of the European Economic Area for the TiVo policy that applies to the collection and use of their data.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party applications or software that integrate with TiVo products or services, or any other third-party products, services, or businesses. TiVo products provided to you directly by your cable or satellite provider are subject to their privacy policy (and not this Privacy Policy). Additionally, separate agreements will govern the delivery, access and use of TiVo products and/or services as specified for such products (such as the terms of service governing the delivery of the TiVo Service, the “TiVo User Agreement”).

Key Highlights of What You Are Consenting To
By using or interacting with TiVo products or services you are consenting to:
  • the use of cookies and automated information collection;
  • the transfer of your information outside of the country where you live;
  • the collection use, sharing and other processing of your information, including for analytics and advertising-related purposes; and
  • the use of your information received from third-parties and affiliates.
In each case, you consent to the processing of data by the entities described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It
Registration Data
When you sign up for a TiVo provided service or activate a TiVo product, we may ask you for information such as your username, password, email address, address, country, date of birth or other demographic information. You may also choose to voluntarily add other information to your profile, such as your mobile phone number. We will store the information provided on our systems and use it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy

Social Media and Profiles
For certain TiVo products and services, the information that we may ask you to provide could include name, gender, location, email address, biographical information, and the movies and television shows that you like to watch. When you create such a profile, you may be asked if you want your profile to be public or private. Unless you state that you want your profile to be private your profile will be public, subject to applicable law.
To facilitate searching for and finding friends on some of TiVo's products and services, TiVo allows users to search for other members using text searches, first and last name, email address, and by using other attributes. Users can invite friends to join certain TiVo products and services by sending invitation emails via our automated invitation system. Where permitted by applicable law, TiVo stores these email addresses so that the respondents may be added to the friend list of the member sending the invitations and to establish relationships between users.

Automated Information Collection
When you use or interact with TiVo products or services, we may use a variety of technologies that collect information about how the product(s) or service(s) is accessed and used. This information may include:
  • your type of subscription;
  • your interactions with TiVo products or services (such as how you use, watch, record, rate and interact with content);
  • TiVo device data (such as model number, software versions, and unique device identifiers);
  • location data (such as GPS data, zip code, and time zone);
  • cable service data (such as cable provider and cable channels);
  • data which may not directly identify you but is collected as you use our products and services which may include URL information, cookie data, your IP address, network connection type and provider, and information related to searches or recommendations on TiVo’s products and services;
  • functional data such as registration, system and performance data;
  • audio data (if you enable or utilize voice control functionality);
  • motion-generated or orientation-generated mobile sensor data (e.g. accelerometer or gyroscope).

Third-Party Application Data
You may integrate your TiVo account with certain third-party applications, websites, and 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 device 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 do 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. If you wish to stop the collection or sharing of information with the specific Third-Party Application you have authorized, you need to disable the feature. TiVo does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for the behavior, features, or content of any Third-Party Application or for any transaction you may enter into with the provider of any such Third-Party Applications.
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.

Functional Data
Certain categories of data collected by TiVo are necessary for your TiVo device or the TiVo service to perform its functions and you will not be able to opt out from this data collection, sharing and/or processing. Data falling into these categories is referred to as “Functional Data.”

Audio Data for Voice Control Functionality
If you utilize a TiVo device with voice control functionality, then upon activating voice control the TiVo device begins recording. The TiVo device will only record while you have the voice control activated. The recording is collected by TiVo and/or its service provider. The actual recording of your voice command is then processed by TiVo and/or its service provider to provide the requested functionality.

Your Mobile Device
If you download or use our mobile applications(s), we may collect, either through your mobile device or the application itself, your mobile device identifier, hardware model, operating system version or mobile network information (as well as any registration data you provide to us). We may also collect geolocation information, which may be used for operational and product- or service-related purposes, such as to customize information based on your location.

Payment Data
If you subscribe to the TiVo service or make other purchases through a TiVo product, TiVo service, or through a TiVo sales specialist, your credit or debit card information (such as card type and expiration date), billing address, shipping address, and other financial data that we need to process your payment or purchase may be collected and stored by us and/or the payment processors with which we work. We may also collect some limited information, such as your postal code, mobile number, and details of your transaction history. In addition, the payment processors generally provide us with some limited information related to you, such as a unique token that enables you to make additional purchases using the information they’ve stored, and your card’s type, expiration date, and certain digits of your card number.

Sweepstakes, Contests & Surveys
From time to time, we may offer you the opportunity to participate in promotions such as sweepstakes, contests, offers, and/or surveys (“Promotional Offers”). A Promotional Offer may be governed by a privacy policy and/or terms and conditions that are additional to, or separate from, this Privacy Policy. If the provisions of the Promotional Offer’s privacy policy or terms and conditions conflict with this Privacy Policy or the relevant user agreement or terms of service for the TiVo product or service that is offering the Promotional Offer, those additional or separate provisions shall prevail. If you participate in a Promotional Offer, we may ask you for certain information in addition to what is stated in this Privacy Policy, including personal information. That additional information may be combined with other account information and may be used and shared as described in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise described in such Promotional Offer’s privacy policy or terms and conditions.

Service Providers, Third-Party Advertisers, and Partners
We may also receive information about you from our service providers and partners, which we use to personalize your experience with the TiVo service or use of TiVo products. Third-party advertising companies and business associates may share with us information relating to the advertisements that they serve you including, without limitation, date and time of ad shown, the ad that was shown and your IP address and your interactions with such advertisements. These third-party advertising companies and business associates may use cookies, clear GIFs and anonymous information about your visits to TiVo’s websites and other websites to measure and improve the effectiveness of their ads, promotions, products and services. We also use this information as explained in the How We Use the Information We Collect section below.

Information Generated by You
You may be able to post information (including profile information, unless you designate it as public or as private; as applicable) on areas of a TiVo product or service that may be viewed by other users or the public. By posting information to areas that may be viewed by other users or the public you are asking TiVo to make that information public. We may display this content on any of the TiVo products and/or services and further distribute it to a wider audience through third-party sites or 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. Please choose carefully the information you post on any of the TiVo products or services and that you give to other TiVo users.

Marketing and Advertising
Where permitted by applicable law, we may provide third-party advertising companies and other business associates with information that does not directly identify you. The third-party advertising and business associates may use that information to assist in targeting advertising, promotions, products, or services.

Service Providers
We engage service providers to perform functions and provide services to us in the United States and other countries. For example, we use a variety of third-party services to help provide TiVo services and to help us understand and improve the use of TiVo products and services. We may share your personal information with such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
We share your payment information, including your credit or debit card number, card expiration date, CVV code and billing address with payment service providers to process payments, prevent, detect and investigate fraud or other prohibited activities; facilitate dispute resolution such as chargebacks or refunds; and for other purposes associated with the acceptance of payment.

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. 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, Aggregated, or Device-Level Information
We may create non-personal, aggregated, or device 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 and disclose De-Identified Data to third-party companies in our absolute discretion.

How to Access, Update and Manage Your Information
If you are a registered user of TiVo products or services, we provide you with tools and account settings to access, correct, delete, or modify the information you provided to us and associated with your account. You can access, update, and correct or delete inaccuracies by logging into your account for the particular TiVo product or service. For example, to update or manage your information related to a TiVo DVR product or the TiVo online service you may visit tivo.com.
CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF THE DATA THAT WE COLLECT, REFERRED TO AS FUNCTIONAL DATA, ARE NECESSARY FOR YOUR TIVO PRODUCT TO PERFORM ITS BASIC FUNCTIONS IN A SECURE WAY AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPT OUT OF THE COLLECTION OF THIS FUNCTIONAL DATA AND ITS USE TO PROVIDE THE DEVICE FUNCTIONALITY.
If you have questions about your privacy on TiVo products or services, this privacy policy, or information we have about you, please contact us at privacy@tivo.com. You can also contact our privacy representative by sending a letter to TiVo, Attn: Privacy Officer, Legal Department, 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, United States. We will respond to your request in a reasonable period of time upon verification of your identity with local laws. We recommend you include documents that prove your identity and a clear and precise description of the information which you request access.
Specific Information for various products or offered services:
TiVo Devices 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 contacting TiVo Customer Support (support.tivo.com/ContactTiVoSupport) and requesting to opt out under the TiVo Privacy Policy. Please note that the viewing logs are Functional Data, therefore while the data will not be used in the analytics business or shared in a de-identified format with third parties it will still be collected and processed as necessary to continue providing you 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 device from functioning. TiVo may, at its option, delete all information for any cancelled accounts. To reactivate your TiVo account you should contact TiVo Customer Support; however, if account information was deleted, reactivating an account may not be possible and a new account would need to be created. We reserve the right (subject to applicable law) to decline requests that are impractical or may jeopardize the privacy of others.
TiVo Mobile Apps
If you do not want us to collect location data from a TiVo mobile app, you can disable location services on your mobile device. If you do not want any data shared by the mobile app, please delete the app from your mobile device.
Marketing Emails
If you do not want to receive marketing emails from us, you can change your email preferences by logging into your account on tivo.com or clicking on the included “unsubscribe” link (though you will still receive certain account-related emails). We will send you marketing emails only where we are permitted to do so by applicable law.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, including "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 associates, 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 on how 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”). The industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what Do Not Track means, what it means to comply with Do Not Track, and a common approach to responding to Do Not Track. 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 Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. 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. If you delete your cookies or use a different browser or mobile device, 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/.

Privacy Policy of Third Party Services
Our products and services may contain advertisements from third-party advertisers, which are companies other than TiVo that may link to their own websites, online services, or mobile applications. Additionally, as discussed previously in this policy, you may choose to integrate your TiVo account with Third Party Applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party advertisers or Third-Party Applications. If you have questions about how these third-party services use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.

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. Information collected within the European Economic Area (EEA) may, for example, 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 us and our 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 the EEA and other countries may have certain statutory rights in relation to their personal data. Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to request access, seek to update, delete or correct this personal data.
Residents of the EEA, please refer to TiVo’s Privacy Policy for Residents of the EEA for TiVo’s policy related to the collection and use of data.

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield
TiVo Solutions Inc. and its subsidiaries comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the EEA to the United States. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website, http://privacyshield.gov. To learn more about TiVo Solutions Inc.’s participation in the Privacy Shield Framework, please see TiVo Solutions Inc.’s Privacy Shield Notice.

Data Protection Authority
If you are a resident of the EEA and believe we maintain your personal data within the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation you may direct questions or complaints to privacy@tivo.com and direct such questions to TiVo’s Data Controller. Subject to applicable law, you may (i) restrict TiVo’s use of information that is your personal data, and (ii) lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. If the TiVo data protection officer for EMEA region is unable to help you, we suggest you refer to your local privacy regulator for help. For example, in the UK that would be the information commissioner’s office at: https://ico.org.uk/.

Children
The TiVo products and services are not directed to children under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 16. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personally identifiable information from a child under 16, we will take reasonable measures to remove that information from our records. If you are a parent of a child under age 16 and become aware that your child has provided personally identifiable 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 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.

Security of Your Information
We use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information. 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 user name, ID and password for any of the TiVo products and services. Please take care when using and storing them.

Hi! Welcome to the TiVo Privacy Policy.


Introduction
As you review our policy, keep in mind that when using any of our products or services or interacting with TiVo Corporation, TiVo Solutions, Inc., or Rovi Corporation or any of our subsidiaries that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, “TiVo,” “we,” or “us”) or that do not have a separate privacy policy, you consent to the collection, transfer, storage, processing, disclosure and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. This includes any information you choose to provide that is deemed sensitive under applicable law. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, do not access or use the TiVo products, services or any other aspect of TiVo’s business.
NOTE: Residents of the EEA should refer to TiVo’s Privacy Policy for Residents of the European Economic Area for the TiVo policy that applies to the collection and use of their data.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party applications or software that integrate with TiVo products or services, or any other third-party products, services, or businesses. TiVo products provided to you directly by your cable or satellite provider are subject to their privacy policy (and not this Privacy Policy). Additionally, separate agreements will govern the delivery, access and use of TiVo products and/or services as specified for such products (such as the terms of service governing the delivery of the TiVo Service, the “TiVo User Agreement”).

Key Highlights of What You Are Consenting To
By using or interacting with TiVo products or services you are consenting to:
  • the use of cookies and automated information collection;
  • the transfer of your information outside of the country where you live;
  • the collection use, sharing and other processing of your information, including for analytics and advertising-related purposes; and
  • the use of your information received from third-parties and affiliates.
In each case, you consent to the processing of data by the entities described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It
Registration Data
When you sign up for a TiVo provided service or activate a TiVo product, we may ask you for information such as your username, password, email address, address, country, date of birth or other demographic information. You may also choose to voluntarily add other information to your profile, such as your mobile phone number. We will store the information provided on our systems and use it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy

Social Media and Profiles
For certain TiVo products and services, the information that we may ask you to provide could include name, gender, location, email address, biographical information, and the movies and television shows that you like to watch. When you create such a profile, you may be asked if you want your profile to be public or private. Unless you state that you want your profile to be private your profile will be public, subject to applicable law.
To facilitate searching for and finding friends on some of TiVo's products and services, TiVo allows users to search for other members using text searches, first and last name, email address, and by using other attributes. Users can invite friends to join certain TiVo products and services by sending invitation emails via our automated invitation system. Where permitted by applicable law, TiVo stores these email addresses so that the respondents may be added to the friend list of the member sending the invitations and to establish relationships between users.

Automated Information Collection
When you use or interact with TiVo products or services, we may use a variety of technologies that collect information about how the product(s) or service(s) is accessed and used. This information may include:
  • your type of subscription;
  • your interactions with TiVo products or services (such as how you use, watch, record, rate and interact with content);
  • TiVo device data (such as model number, software versions, and unique device identifiers);
  • location data (such as GPS data, zip code, and time zone);
  • cable service data (such as cable provider and cable channels);
  • data which may not directly identify you but is collected as you use our products and services which may include URL information, cookie data, your IP address, network connection type and provider, and information related to searches or recommendations on TiVo’s products and services;
  • functional data such as registration, system and performance data;
  • audio data (if you enable or utilize voice control functionality);
  • motion-generated or orientation-generated mobile sensor data (e.g. accelerometer or gyroscope).

Third-Party Application Data
You may integrate your TiVo account with certain third-party applications, websites, and 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 device 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 do 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. If you wish to stop the collection or sharing of information with the specific Third-Party Application you have authorized, you need to disable the feature. TiVo does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for the behavior, features, or content of any Third-Party Application or for any transaction you may enter into with the provider of any such Third-Party Applications.
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.

Functional Data
Certain categories of data collected by TiVo are necessary for your TiVo device or the TiVo service to perform its functions and you will not be able to opt out from this data collection, sharing and/or processing. Data falling into these categories is referred to as “Functional Data.”

Audio Data for Voice Control Functionality
If you utilize a TiVo device with voice control functionality, then upon activating voice control the TiVo device begins recording. The TiVo device will only record while you have the voice control activated. The recording is collected by TiVo and/or its service provider. The actual recording of your voice command is then processed by TiVo and/or its service provider to provide the requested functionality.

Your Mobile Device
If you download or use our mobile applications(s), we may collect, either through your mobile device or the application itself, your mobile device identifier, hardware model, operating system version or mobile network information (as well as any registration data you provide to us). We may also collect geolocation information, which may be used for operational and product- or service-related purposes, such as to customize information based on your location.

Payment Data
If you subscribe to the TiVo service or make other purchases through a TiVo product, TiVo service, or through a TiVo sales specialist, your credit or debit card information (such as card type and expiration date), billing address, shipping address, and other financial data that we need to process your payment or purchase may be collected and stored by us and/or the payment processors with which we work. We may also collect some limited information, such as your postal code, mobile number, and details of your transaction history. In addition, the payment processors generally provide us with some limited information related to you, such as a unique token that enables you to make additional purchases using the information they’ve stored, and your card’s type, expiration date, and certain digits of your card number.

Sweepstakes, Contests & Surveys
From time to time, we may offer you the opportunity to participate in promotions such as sweepstakes, contests, offers, and/or surveys (“Promotional Offers”). A Promotional Offer may be governed by a privacy policy and/or terms and conditions that are additional to, or separate from, this Privacy Policy. If the provisions of the Promotional Offer’s privacy policy or terms and conditions conflict with this Privacy Policy or the relevant user agreement or terms of service for the TiVo product or service that is offering the Promotional Offer, those additional or separate provisions shall prevail. If you participate in a Promotional Offer, we may ask you for certain information in addition to what is stated in this Privacy Policy, including personal information. That additional information may be combined with other account information and may be used and shared as described in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise described in such Promotional Offer’s privacy policy or terms and conditions.

Service Providers, Third-Party Advertisers, and Partners
We may also receive information about you from our service providers and partners, which we use to personalize your experience with the TiVo service or use of TiVo products. Third-party advertising companies and business associates may share with us information relating to the advertisements that they serve you including, without limitation, date and time of ad shown, the ad that was shown and your IP address and your interactions with such advertisements. These third-party advertising companies and business associates may use cookies, clear GIFs and anonymous information about your visits to TiVo’s websites and other websites to measure and improve the effectiveness of their ads, promotions, products and services. We also use this information as explained in the How We Use the Information We Collect section below.

Customer Support Correspondence
Except as provided herein, when you contact (including, but not limited to, telephone, email, or social media channels) our customer support team, we will collect and store the contact information you give them, information about your TiVo product or use of TiVo products or services. We will also store the communications you have with the customer support team and any information in those communications in order to provide support and improve the products or services.

Information Generated by You
You may be able to post information (including profile information, unless you designate it as public or as private; as applicable) on areas of a TiVo product or service that may be viewed by other users or the public. By posting information to areas that may be viewed by other users or the public you are asking TiVo to make that information public. We may display this content on any of the TiVo products and/or services and further distribute it to a wider audience through third-party sites or 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. Please choose carefully the information you post on any of the TiVo products or services and that you give to other TiVo users. You are discouraged from publicly posting your full name, telephone numbers, street addresses or other information that identifies you or allows strangers to find you or steal your identity. Despite this prohibition, other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled.
YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERACTING WITH OTHER USERS WITH WHOM YOU COME IN CONTACT THROUGH TIVO PROPERTIES. WE EXPECT THAT YOU WILL USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN USING TIVO’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

Specific Information for various products or offered services:
TiVo Devices 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 contacting TiVo Customer Support (support.tivo.com/ContactTiVoSupport) and requesting to opt out under the TiVo Privacy Policy. Please note that the viewing logs are Functional Data, therefore while the data will not be used in the analytics business or shared in a de-identified format with third parties it will still be collected and processed as necessary to continue providing you 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 device from functioning. TiVo may, at its option, delete all information for any cancelled accounts. To reactivate your TiVo account you should contact TiVo Customer Support; however, if account information was deleted, reactivating an account may not be possible and a new account would need to be created. We reserve the right (subject to applicable law) to decline requests that are impractical or may jeopardize the privacy of others.
TiVo Mobile Apps
If you do not want us to collect location data from a TiVo mobile app, you can disable location services on your mobile device. If you do not want any data shared by the mobile app, please delete the app from your mobile device.
Marketing Emails
If you do not want to receive marketing emails from us, you can change your email preferences by logging into your account on tivo.com or clicking on the included “unsubscribe” link (though you will still receive certain account-related emails). We will send you marketing emails only where we are permitted to do so by applicable law.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, including "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 associates, 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 on how 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”). The industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what Do Not Track means, what it means to comply with Do Not Track, and a common approach to responding to Do Not Track. 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 Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. 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. If you delete your cookies or use a different browser or mobile device, 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/.

Privacy Policy of Third Party Services
Our products and services may contain advertisements from third-party advertisers, which are companies other than TiVo that may link to their own websites, online services, or mobile applications. Additionally, as discussed previously in this policy, you may choose to integrate your TiVo account with Third Party Applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party advertisers or Third-Party Applications. If you have questions about how these third-party services use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.

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. Information collected within the European Economic Area (EEA) may, for example, 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 us and our 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 the EEA and other countries may have certain statutory rights in relation to their personal data. Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to request access, seek to update, delete or correct this personal data.
Residents of the EEA, please refer to TiVo’s Privacy Policy for Residents of the EEA for TiVo’s policy related to the collection and use of data.

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield
TiVo Solutions Inc. and its subsidiaries comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the EEA to the United States. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website, http://privacyshield.gov. To learn more about TiVo Solutions Inc.’s participation in the Privacy Shield Framework, please see TiVo Solutions Inc.’s Privacy Shield Notice.

Data Protection Authority
If you are a resident of the EEA and believe we maintain your personal data within the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation you may direct questions or complaints to privacy@tivo.com and direct such questions to TiVo’s Data Controller. Subject to applicable law, you may (i) restrict TiVo’s use of information that is your personal data, and (ii) lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. If the TiVo data protection officer for EMEA region is unable to help you, we suggest you refer to your local privacy regulator for help. For example, in the UK that would be the information commissioner’s office at: https://ico.org.uk/.

Children
The TiVo products and services are not directed to children under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 16. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personally identifiable information from a child under 16, we will take reasonable measures to remove that information from our records. If you are a parent of a child under age 16 and become aware that your child has provided personally identifiable 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 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.

Security of Your Information
We use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information. 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 user name, ID and password for any of the TiVo products and services. Please take care when using and storing them.

Hi! Welcome to the TiVo Privacy Policy.


Introduction
As you review our policy, keep in mind that when using any of our products or services or interacting with TiVo Corporation, TiVo Solutions, Inc., or Rovi Corporation or any of our subsidiaries that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, “TiVo,” “we,” or “us”) or that do not have a separate privacy policy, you consent to the collection, transfer, storage, processing, disclosure and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. This includes any information you choose to provide that is deemed sensitive under applicable law. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, do not access or use the TiVo products, services or any other aspect of TiVo’s business.
NOTE: Residents of the EEA should refer to TiVo’s Privacy Policy for Residents of the European Economic Area for the TiVo policy that applies to the collection and use of their data.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party applications or software that integrate with TiVo products or services, or any other third-party products, services, or businesses. TiVo products provided to you directly by your cable or satellite provider are subject to their privacy policy (and not this Privacy Policy). Additionally, separate agreements will govern the delivery, access and use of TiVo products and/or services as specified for such products (such as the terms of service governing the delivery of the TiVo Service, the “TiVo User Agreement”).

Key Highlights of What You Are Consenting To
By using or interacting with TiVo products or services you are consenting to:
  • the use of cookies and automated information collection;
  • the transfer of your information outside of the country where you live;
  • the collection use, sharing and other processing of your information, including for analytics and advertising-related purposes; and
  • the use of your information received from third-parties and affiliates.
In each case, you consent to the processing of data by the entities described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It
Registration Data
When you sign up for a TiVo provided service or activate a TiVo product, we may ask you for information such as your username, password, email address, address, country, date of birth or other demographic information. You may also choose to voluntarily add other information to your profile, such as your mobile phone number. We will store the information provided on our systems and use it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy

Social Media and Profiles
For certain TiVo products and services, the information that we may ask you to provide could include name, gender, location, email address, biographical information, and the movies and television shows that you like to watch. When you create such a profile, you may be asked if you want your profile to be public or private. Unless you state that you want your profile to be private your profile will be public, subject to applicable law.
To facilitate searching for and finding friends on some of TiVo's products and services, TiVo allows users to search for other members using text searches, first and last name, email address, and by using other attributes. Users can invite friends to join certain TiVo products and services by sending invitation emails via our automated invitation system. Where permitted by applicable law, TiVo stores these email addresses so that the respondents may be added to the friend list of the member sending the invitations and to establish relationships between users.

Automated Information Collection
When you use or interact with TiVo products or services, we may use a variety of technologies that collect information about how the product(s) or service(s) is accessed and used. This information may include:
  • your type of subscription;
  • your interactions with TiVo products or services (such as how you use, watch, record, rate and interact with content);
  • TiVo device data (such as model number, software versions, and unique device identifiers);
  • location data (such as GPS data, zip code, and time zone);
  • cable service data (such as cable provider and cable channels);
  • data which may not directly identify you but is collected as you use our products and services which may include URL information, cookie data, your IP address, network connection type and provider, and information related to searches or recommendations on TiVo’s products and services;
  • functional data such as registration, system and performance data;
  • audio data (if you enable or utilize voice control functionality);
  • motion-generated or orientation-generated mobile sensor data (e.g. accelerometer or gyroscope).

Third-Party Application Data
You may integrate your TiVo account with certain third-party applications, websites, and 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 device 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 do 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. If you wish to stop the collection or sharing of information with the specific Third-Party Application you have authorized, you need to disable the feature. TiVo does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for the behavior, features, or content of any Third-Party Application or for any transaction you may enter into with the provider of any such Third-Party Applications.
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.

Functional Data
Certain categories of data collected by TiVo are necessary for your TiVo device or the TiVo service to perform its functions and you will not be able to opt out from this data collection, sharing and/or processing. Data falling into these categories is referred to as “Functional Data.”

Audio Data for Voice Control Functionality
If you utilize a TiVo device with voice control functionality, then upon activating voice control the TiVo device begins recording. The TiVo device will only record while you have the voice control activated. The recording is collected by TiVo and/or its service provider. The actual recording of your voice command is then processed by TiVo and/or its service provider to provide the requested functionality.

Your Mobile Device
If you download or use our mobile applications(s), we may collect, either through your mobile device or the application itself, your mobile device identifier, hardware model, operating system version or mobile network information (as well as any registration data you provide to us). We may also collect geolocation information, which may be used for operational and product- or service-related purposes, such as to customize information based on your location.

Payment Data
If you subscribe to the TiVo service or make other purchases through a TiVo product, TiVo service, or through a TiVo sales specialist, your credit or debit card information (such as card type and expiration date), billing address, shipping address, and other financial data that we need to process your payment or purchase may be collected and stored by us and/or the payment processors with which we work. We may also collect some limited information, such as your postal code, mobile number, and details of your transaction history. In addition, the payment processors generally provide us with some limited information related to you, such as a unique token that enables you to make additional purchases using the information they’ve stored, and your card’s type, expiration date, and certain digits of your card number.

Sweepstakes, Contests & Surveys
From time to time, we may offer you the opportunity to participate in promotions such as sweepstakes, contests, offers, and/or surveys (“Promotional Offers”). A Promotional Offer may be governed by a privacy policy and/or terms and conditions that are additional to, or separate from, this Privacy Policy. If the provisions of the Promotional Offer’s privacy policy or terms and conditions conflict with this Privacy Policy or the relevant user agreement or terms of service for the TiVo product or service that is offering the Promotional Offer, those additional or separate provisions shall prevail. If you participate in a Promotional Offer, we may ask you for certain information in addition to what is stated in this Privacy Policy, including personal information. That additional information may be combined with other account information and may be used and shared as described in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise described in such Promotional Offer’s privacy policy or terms and conditions.

Service Providers, Third-Party Advertisers, and Partners
We may also receive information about you from our service providers and partners, which we use to personalize your experience with the TiVo service or use of TiVo products. Third-party advertising companies and business associates may share with us information relating to the advertisements that they serve you including, without limitation, date and time of ad shown, the ad that was shown and your IP address and your interactions with such advertisements. These third-party advertising companies and business associates may use cookies, clear GIFs and anonymous information about your visits to TiVo’s websites and other websites to measure and improve the effectiveness of their ads, promotions, products and services. We also use this information as explained in the How We Use the Information We Collect section below.

Customer Support Correspondence
Except as provided herein, when you contact (including, but not limited to, telephone, email, or social media channels) our customer support team, we will collect and store the contact information you give them, information about your TiVo product or use of TiVo products or services. We will also store the communications you have with the customer support team and any information in those communications in order to provide support and improve the products or services.

Information Generated by You
You may be able to post information (including profile information, unless you designate it as public or as private; as applicable) on areas of a TiVo product or service that may be viewed by other users or the public. By posting information to areas that may be viewed by other users or the public you are asking TiVo to make that information public. We may display this content on any of the TiVo products and/or services and further distribute it to a wider audience through third-party sites or 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. Please choose carefully the information you post on any of the TiVo products or services and that you give to other TiVo users. You are discouraged from publicly posting your full name, telephone numbers, street addresses or other information that identifies you or allows strangers to find you or steal your identity. Despite this prohibition, other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled.
YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERACTING WITH OTHER USERS WITH WHOM YOU COME IN CONTACT THROUGH TIVO PROPERTIES. WE EXPECT THAT YOU WILL USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN USING TIVO’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

Marketing and Advertising
Where permitted by applicable law, we may provide third-party advertising companies and other business associates with information that does not directly identify you. The third-party advertising and business associates may use that information to assist in targeting advertising, promotions, products, or services.

Service Providers
We engage service providers to perform functions and provide services to us in the United States and other countries. For example, we use a variety of third-party services to help provide TiVo services and to help us understand and improve the use of TiVo products and services. We may share your personal information with such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
We share your payment information, including your credit or debit card number, card expiration date, CVV code and billing address with payment service providers to process payments, prevent, detect and investigate fraud or other prohibited activities; facilitate dispute resolution such as chargebacks or refunds; and for other purposes associated with the acceptance of payment.

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.

Non-Personal, Aggregated, or Device-Level Information
We may create non-personal, aggregated, or device 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 and disclose De-Identified Data to third-party companies in our absolute discretion.

Please note that the viewing logs are Functional Data, therefore while the data will not be used in the analytics business or shared in a de-identified format with third parties it will still be collected and processed as necessary to continue providing you 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.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, including "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 associates, 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 on how 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”). The industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what Do Not Track means, what it means to comply with Do Not Track, and a common approach to responding to Do Not Track. 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.

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 Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. 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. If you delete your cookies or use a different browser or mobile device, 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/.

Additionally, as discussed previously in this policy, you may choose to integrate your TiVo account with Third Party Applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party advertisers or Third-Party Applications. If you have questions about how these third-party services use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.

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. Information collected within the European Economic Area (EEA) may, for example, 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 us and our 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 the EEA and other countries may have certain statutory rights in relation to their personal data. Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to request access, seek to update, delete or correct this personal data.
Residents of the EEA, please refer to TiVo’s Privacy Policy for Residents of the EEA for TiVo’s policy related to the collection and use of data.

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield
TiVo Solutions Inc. and its subsidiaries comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the EEA to the United States. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website, http://privacyshield.gov. To learn more about TiVo Solutions Inc.’s participation in the Privacy Shield Framework, please see TiVo Solutions Inc.’s Privacy Shield Notice.

Data Protection Authority
If you are a resident of the EEA and believe we maintain your personal data within the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation you may direct questions or complaints to privacy@tivo.com and direct such questions to TiVo’s Data Controller. Subject to applicable law, you may (i) restrict TiVo’s use of information that is your personal data, and (ii) lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. If the TiVo data protection officer for EMEA region is unable to help you, we suggest you refer to your local privacy regulator for help. For example, in the UK that would be the information commissioner’s office at: https://ico.org.uk/.

Children
The TiVo products and services are not directed to children under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 16. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personally identifiable information from a child under 16, we will take reasonable measures to remove that information from our records. If you are a parent of a child under age 16 and become aware that your child has provided personally identifiable 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 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.

Security of Your Information
We use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information. 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 user name, ID and password for any of the TiVo products and services. Please take care when using and storing them.

Effective Date: May 18, 2018
Hi! Welcome to the TiVo Privacy Policy.


Introduction
As you review our policy, keep in mind that when using any of our products or services or interacting with TiVo Corporation, TiVo Solutions, Inc., or Rovi Corporation or any of our subsidiaries that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, “TiVo,” “we,” or “us”) or that do not have a separate privacy policy, you consent to the collection, transfer, storage, processing, disclosure and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. This includes any information you choose to provide that is deemed sensitive under applicable law. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, do not access or use the TiVo products, services or any other aspect of TiVo’s business.
NOTE: Residents of the EEA should refer to TiVo’s Privacy Policy for Residents of the European Economic Area for the TiVo policy that applies to the collection and use of their data.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party applications or software that integrate with TiVo products or services, or any other third-party products, services, or businesses. TiVo products provided to you directly by your cable or satellite provider are subject to their privacy policy (and not this Privacy Policy). Additionally, separate agreements will govern the delivery, access and use of TiVo products and/or services as specified for such products (such as the terms of service governing the delivery of the TiVo Service, the “TiVo User Agreement”).

Key Highlights of What You Are Consenting To
By using or interacting with TiVo products or services you are consenting to:
  • the use of cookies and automated information collection;
  • the transfer of your information outside of the country where you live;
  • the collection use, sharing and other processing of your information, including for analytics and advertising-related purposes; and
  • the use of your information received from third-parties and affiliates.
In each case, you consent to the processing of data by the entities described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It
Registration Data
When you sign up for a TiVo provided service or activate a TiVo product, we may ask you for information such as your username, password, email address, address, country, date of birth or other demographic information. You may also choose to voluntarily add other information to your profile, such as your mobile phone number. We will store the information provided on our systems and use it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy

Social Media and Profiles
For certain TiVo products and services, the information that we may ask you to provide could include name, gender, location, email address, biographical information, and the movies and television shows that you like to watch. When you create such a profile, you may be asked if you want your profile to be public or private. Unless you state that you want your profile to be private your profile will be public, subject to applicable law.
To facilitate searching for and finding friends on some of TiVo's products and services, TiVo allows users to search for other members using text searches, first and last name, email address, and by using other attributes. Users can invite friends to join certain TiVo products and services by sending invitation emails via our automated invitation system. Where permitted by applicable law, TiVo stores these email addresses so that the respondents may be added to the friend list of the member sending the invitations and to establish relationships between users.

Automated Information Collection
When you use or interact with TiVo products or services, we may use a variety of technologies that collect information about how the product(s) or service(s) is accessed and used. This information may include:
  • your type of subscription;
  • your interactions with TiVo products or services (such as how you use, watch, record, rate and interact with content);
  • TiVo device data (such as model number, software versions, and unique device identifiers);
  • location data (such as GPS data, zip code, and time zone);
  • cable service data (such as cable provider and cable channels);
  • data which may not directly identify you but is collected as you use our products and services which may include URL information, cookie data, your IP address, network connection type and provider, and information related to searches or recommendations on TiVo’s products and services;
  • functional data such as registration, system and performance data;
  • audio data (if you enable or utilize voice control functionality);
  • motion-generated or orientation-generated mobile sensor data (e.g. accelerometer or gyroscope).

Third-Party Application Data
You may integrate your TiVo account with certain third-party applications, websites, and 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 device 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 do 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. If you wish to stop the collection or sharing of information with the specific Third-Party Application you have authorized, you need to disable the feature. TiVo does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for the behavior, features, or content of any Third-Party Application or for any transaction you may enter into with the provider of any such Third-Party Applications.
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.

Functional Data
Certain categories of data collected by TiVo are necessary for your TiVo device or the TiVo service to perform its functions and you will not be able to opt out from this data collection, sharing and/or processing. Data falling into these categories is referred to as “Functional Data.”

Audio Data for Voice Control Functionality
If you utilize a TiVo device with voice control functionality, then upon activating voice control the TiVo device begins recording. The TiVo device will only record while you have the voice control activated. The recording is collected by TiVo and/or its service provider. The actual recording of your voice command is then processed by TiVo and/or its service provider to provide the requested functionality.

Your Mobile Device
If you download or use our mobile applications(s), we may collect, either through your mobile device or the application itself, your mobile device identifier, hardware model, operating system version or mobile network information (as well as any registration data you provide to us). We may also collect geolocation information, which may be used for operational and product- or service-related purposes, such as to customize information based on your location.

Payment Data
If you subscribe to the TiVo service or make other purchases through a TiVo product, TiVo service, or through a TiVo sales specialist, your credit or debit card information (such as card type and expiration date), billing address, shipping address, and other financial data that we need to process your payment or purchase may be collected and stored by us and/or the payment processors with which we work. We may also collect some limited information, such as your postal code, mobile number, and details of your transaction history. In addition, the payment processors generally provide us with some limited information related to you, such as a unique token that enables you to make additional purchases using the information they’ve stored, and your card’s type, expiration date, and certain digits of your card number.

Sweepstakes, Contests & Surveys
From time to time, we may offer you the opportunity to participate in promotions such as sweepstakes, contests, offers, and/or surveys (“Promotional Offers”). A Promotional Offer may be governed by a privacy policy and/or terms and conditions that are additional to, or separate from, this Privacy Policy. If the provisions of the Promotional Offer’s privacy policy or terms and conditions conflict with this Privacy Policy or the relevant user agreement or terms of service for the TiVo product or service that is offering the Promotional Offer, those additional or separate provisions shall prevail. If you participate in a Promotional Offer, we may ask you for certain information in addition to what is stated in this Privacy Policy, including personal information. That additional information may be combined with other account information and may be used and shared as described in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise described in such Promotional Offer’s privacy policy or terms and conditions.

Service Providers, Third-Party Advertisers, and Partners
We may also receive information about you from our service providers and partners, which we use to personalize your experience with the TiVo service or use of TiVo products. Third-party advertising companies and business associates may share with us information relating to the advertisements that they serve you including, without limitation, date and time of ad shown, the ad that was shown and your IP address and your interactions with such advertisements. These third-party advertising companies and business associates may use cookies, clear GIFs and anonymous information about your visits to TiVo’s websites and other websites to measure and improve the effectiveness of their ads, promotions, products and services. We also use this information as explained in the How We Use the Information We Collect section below.

Customer Support Correspondence
Except as provided herein, when you contact (including, but not limited to, telephone, email, or social media channels) our customer support team, we will collect and store the contact information you give them, information about your TiVo product or use of TiVo products or services. We will also store the communications you have with the customer support team and any information in those communications in order to provide support and improve the products or services.

Information Generated by You
You may be able to post information (including profile information, unless you designate it as public or as private; as applicable) on areas of a TiVo product or service that may be viewed by other users or the public. By posting information to areas that may be viewed by other users or the public you are asking TiVo to make that information public. We may display this content on any of the TiVo products and/or services and further distribute it to a wider audience through third-party sites or 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. Please choose carefully the information you post on any of the TiVo products or services and that you give to other TiVo users. You are discouraged from publicly posting your full name, telephone numbers, street addresses or other information that identifies you or allows strangers to find you or steal your identity. Despite this prohibition, other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled.
YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERACTING WITH OTHER USERS WITH WHOM YOU COME IN CONTACT THROUGH TIVO PROPERTIES. WE EXPECT THAT YOU WILL USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN USING TIVO’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

Based on your permissions, information can be shared with Third Party Applications and 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 policies 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.

Marketing and Advertising
Where permitted by applicable law, we may provide third-party advertising companies and other business associates with information that does not directly identify you. The third-party advertising and business associates may use that information to assist in targeting advertising, promotions, products, or services.

Service Providers
We engage service providers to perform functions and provide services to us in the United States and other countries. For example, we use a variety of third-party services to help provide TiVo services and to help us understand and improve the use of TiVo products and services. We may share your personal information with such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
We share your payment information, including your credit or debit card number, card expiration date, CVV code and billing address with payment service providers to process payments, prevent, detect and investigate fraud or other prohibited activities; facilitate dispute resolution such as chargebacks or refunds; and for other purposes associated with the acceptance of payment.

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. 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, Aggregated, or Device-Level Information
We may create non-personal, aggregated, or device 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 and disclose De-Identified Data to third-party companies in our absolute discretion.

How to Access, Update and Manage Your Information
If you are a registered user of TiVo products or services, we provide you with tools and account settings to access, correct, delete, or modify the information you provided to us and associated with your account. You can access, update, and correct or delete inaccuracies by logging into your account for the particular TiVo product or service. For example, to update or manage your information related to a TiVo DVR product or the TiVo online service you may visit tivo.com.
CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF THE DATA THAT WE COLLECT, REFERRED TO AS FUNCTIONAL DATA, ARE NECESSARY FOR YOUR TIVO PRODUCT TO PERFORM ITS BASIC FUNCTIONS IN A SECURE WAY AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPT OUT OF THE COLLECTION OF THIS FUNCTIONAL DATA AND ITS USE TO PROVIDE THE DEVICE FUNCTIONALITY.
If you have questions about your privacy on TiVo products or services, this privacy policy, or information we have about you, please contact us at privacy@tivo.com. You can also contact our privacy representative by sending a letter to TiVo, Attn: Privacy Officer, Legal Department, 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002, United States. We will respond to your request in a reasonable period of time upon verification of your identity with local laws. We recommend you include documents that prove your identity and a clear and precise description of the information which you request access.
Specific Information for various products or offered services:
TiVo Devices 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 with third parties by contacting TiVo Customer Support (support.tivo.com/ContactTiVoSupport) and requesting to opt out under the TiVo Privacy Policy. Please note that the viewing logs are Functional Data, therefore while the data will not be used in the analytics business or shared in a de-identified format with third parties it will still be collected and processed as necessary to continue providing you 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 device from functioning. TiVo may, at its option, delete all information for any cancelled accounts. To reactivate your TiVo account you should contact TiVo Customer Support; however, if account information was deleted, reactivating an account may not be possible and a new account would need to be created. We reserve the right (subject to applicable law) to decline requests that are impractical or may jeopardize the privacy of others.
TiVo Mobile Apps
If you do not want us to collect location data from a TiVo mobile app, you can disable location services on your mobile device. If you do not want any data shared by the mobile app, please delete the app from your mobile device.
Marketing Emails
If you do not want to receive marketing emails from us, you can change your email preferences by logging into your account on tivo.com or clicking on the included “unsubscribe” link (though you will still receive certain account-related emails). We will send you marketing emails only where we are permitted to do so by applicable law.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, including "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 associates, 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 on how 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”). The industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what Do Not Track means, what it means to comply with Do Not Track, and a common approach to responding to Do Not Track. 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 Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. 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. If you delete your cookies or use a different browser or mobile device, 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/.

Privacy Policy of Third Party Services
Our products and services may contain advertisements from third-party advertisers, which are companies other than TiVo that may link to their own websites, online services, or mobile applications. Additionally, as discussed previously in this policy, you may choose to integrate your TiVo account with Third Party Applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party advertisers or Third-Party Applications. If you have questions about how these third-party services use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.

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. Information collected within the European Economic Area (EEA) may, for example, 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.

How long we retain your information 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.

Security of Your Information
We use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information. 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 user name, ID and password for any of the TiVo products and services. Please take care when using and storing them.

Collection and Use of Information
How do we collect information?
We collect information (both automatically and when we ask you to provide it) when you use TiVo products, place orders, contact customer service, and participate in surveys. We may also let you link a TiVo product with your account on a third-party service, such as Facebook or Twitter. We may also acquire a business that has information about you, or otherwise acquire information about you from third parties.
What information are we collecting?
Information we ask you to provide us may include, for example, your name, email address, phone number, shipping address, billing address, credit card information, and age or other demographic information.
Information we automatically collect may include, for example, data about your viewing behavior (such as how you use, watch, record, rate and interact with content accessed on or through TiVo products), device (such as model number, software versions, and unique device identifiers), location (such as GPS data, zip code, and time zone), and cable service (such as cable provider and cable channels). We may also collect information that does not directly identify you and is collected as you use our products and services, including your IP address, and information gathered with the use of a "cookie" (cookies are discussed further below), and information related to searches or recommendations on TiVo’s products and services. Such information collected includes, without limitation, which pages and content are browsed, interactions with advertising and content, and other data related to preferences and usage.
Information we collect from your account on a third-party service with your consent may include data about you and your friends from that service (such as what you or they have liked or shared).
- Anonymous Data
We may create Anonymous Data records from personal information by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data personally identifiable to you. Once we create Anonymous Data this Anonymous Data is our property. We use this Anonymous Data in many ways including analyzing request and usage patterns, creating reports and performing analytics so that we may enhance the content of our Services, improve Site navigation and provide meaningful analysis of habits, usage, trends, and effectiveness of marketing campaigns etc. as part of our analytics and other services. Company reserves the right to use and disclose Anonymous Data to Third-Party Companies in its absolute discretion.
- Social Media and Profiles
For certain TiVo products and services, the information that we may ask you to provide could include name, gender, location, email address, biographical information and the movies and television shows that you like to watch. When you create your profile, you may be asked if you want your profile to be public or private. Unless you state that you want your profile to be private your profile will be available for public viewing.
- Public Content
Your photos, posts, friends, and other content you post to the TiVo products and services (and your Profile if you designate it as public, including your first name and last initial but excluding any other account registration information) are meant for public consumption. We may display this content on any of the TiVo products and/or services and further distribute it to a wider audience through third-party sites and services.
- Facebook and other Social Networking Sites
If you are logged into Facebook or another Social Networking Site (“SNS”) that we support, and you access but are not logged into the TiVo service or product, we may receive information from Facebook or the SNS to make it easier for you to create an account on the TiVo product or service in question and to show our relevant content from your Facebook or SNS friends. This information personalizes your experience and helps you create an account (where this facility is available). You may also be able to connect your account on TiVo’s website to your accounts on Facebook or other SNSs, in which case we may collect and store information identifying your account with the third-party service. We use this information to help you connect and share public content with your friends and followers.
- Material You Choose to Reveal in On-­line Fora, Blogs, Message Boards, Chat Rooms or Similar Locations
You may be able to post personally information on areas of a TiVo product or service that may be viewed by other users or the public, although we recommend that you do not do so. 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. Please choose carefully the information you post on any of the TiVo products or services and that you give to other TiVo users. You are discouraged from publicly posting your full name, telephone numbers, street addresses or other information that identifies you or allows strangers to find you or steal your identity.

- Tracking and Cookies
When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, including "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 associates, this may include the personalization of advertisements based on your visits to sites in that party’s network.
Please note that at least some of the TiVo websites do not currently respond to a web browser’s “do not track” instructions (e.g., a “do not track” signal). However, 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 see our cookie policy at https://www.tivo.com/legal/privacy for more information.
We may also work with third-party advertising companies that collect and use information to deliver more relevant advertising across the Internet and when you are using our products and services. To learn more about this practice and your choices with regard to companies participating in industry self-regulation, visit http://www.aboutads.info.

- Email
Email addresses are used for identification, inviting new friends to TiVo's products and services, searching for and finding friends, general communication, order processing and to send notifications to you. To facilitate searching for and finding friends on some of TiVo's products and services, TiVo allows users to search for other members using text searches, first and last name, email address, and by using other attributes. Users can invite friends to join certain TiVo's products and services by sending invitation emails via our automated invitation system. Where permitted by applicable law, TiVo stores these email addresses so that the respondents may be added to the friend list of the member sending the invitations and to establish relationships between users.
How do we use information we collect about you?
We use the information we collect to provide you with requested products and services, notify you of changes to our policies or products, notify you of offers that may interest you, process your orders, assist you in purchasing TiVo products, activate and renew your subscriptions, identify or troubleshoot issues, conduct surveys, improve the products and services we provide to you, and otherwise operate our business.
As part of providing you with a more personalized experience when using TiVo products, we may use information we collect to:
  • analyze your viewing habits (which lets us do things like suggest a particular TV show or movie that you may enjoy);
  • analyze your usage of TiVo product features (which lets us understand things like how many times a particular TV show was recorded, or how many of our users are watching content on a Netflix or YouTube app);
  • combine information we collect from your use of different TiVo products (which lets us do things like make it possible for you to start a show in one room and finish it in another); and
  • show you more relevant ads (both on TiVo products and on third-party websites). In particular, we may use your personal information and non-­personal information to serve ads to you via TiVo’s products and services as well as to provide you with promotions, products and services. We may also use third-­party advertising companies and other business associates to serve ads on TiVo’s products and services or other sites and provide you with promotions, products and services. These third-party advertising companies and our business associates may be located throughout the world.
These third-­party advertising companies and business associates may receive and share with us information relating to the advertisements that they serve you including, without limitation, date and time of ad shown, the ad that was shown and your IP address and your interactions with such advertisements. These third­-party advertising companies and business associates may use cookies, clear GIFs and anonymous information about your visits to TiVo’s websites and other websites to measure and improve the effectiveness of their ads, promotions, products and services.
This information may also be used for online preference and other targeted marketing purposes. The information received by these third­-party advertising companies and business associates is subject to the privacy policies of these third-­party advertising companies and business associates. We may be given access to this information by these third-­party advertising companies and business associates which we may use for purposes including, without limitation, to provide services to you, to better target advertising and content to you and to generate statistics and reports and to carry out analytics that help us to provide our services, to create new products and services, to better target advertising and content, (on our and our business associates’ websites, applications and devices) to generate statistics, reports and for various analytic purposes. We may make certain information about you available to third­-party advertising companies and other business associates under agreements between us and those third-­party advertising companies and business associates. The third­-party advertising companies and business associates will use that information to target advertising to you or provide and market promotions, products and services to you. You may withdraw your consent to our sending your personal information to advertising companies and business associates by sending us a written e­mail request from the e­mail address that is registered with us. If you do so we will not provide your personal information from the relevant TiVo product or service to third-party advertisers or business associates from the time you opt out. However where permitted by applicable law, we may still provide them with information that does not directly identify you from which they may send you targeted advertisements.
Many of our advertising associates are part of the Network Advertising Initiative. You may opt-­out of behavioral advertising for Network Advertising Initiative member companies by following the link below and opting-­out of all or some of the advertising networks:
(Opting-out of Flash Cookies is described above in the tracking information section.)
We may also use information we collect in our analytics business, where we use data that has been either de-identified or aggregated (or both) to generate insights into consumer behaviors (for example, to show what the most watched commercial was during a particular show).
If we acquire a business that has information about you, or otherwise acquire information about you from third parties, we may (subject to applicable law) combine that information with the information we already hold. This should enable us to provide you with improved or enhanced products or services.
Disclosure of Personal Information
As is common across websites, to use certain features of TiVo’s products and services, we may ask you to register, create an account, provide your full name and email address and create a password. Once you have created an account, you will have the option to fill out a form (all or portions of which may be included in your profile). When you create your profile, we collect personal information about you, such as name, address, location, e­mail address, etc. which will be stored in order to provide services to you and to conduct activities including, without limitation, using it to process your registration, maintain a profile about you, process your request to receive newsletters and email announcements, or to voluntarily participate in surveys or contests and/or to communicate with you about services and products we think may be of interest to you.
We are not in the business of selling your personal information to third parties. We will disclose your personal information to third parties only if:

  • they provide services to us (such as processing credit card payments or collecting past due debts) and have agreed to use your information only for the purposes we request.
We may disclose de-identified, aggregated, or other non-personal information to third parties in our discretion. For example, we may provide reports showing aggregated information regarding our users to advertisers, networks, and others (like a report that shows what type of viewers watch a particular TV show, so that advertisers can reach similar viewers on other platforms).

  • we are required to do so by applicable law, legal process, and/or governmental authorities;
  • we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, our customers, or others;
  • we are involved in a merger, acquisition, partial or total sale of assets, or other corporate change;

  • they provide services to us (such as processing credit card payments or collecting past due debts) and have agreed to use your information only for the purposes we request.
We may disclose de-identified, aggregated, or other non-personal information to third parties in our discretion. For example, we may provide reports showing aggregated information regarding our users to advertisers, networks, and others (like a report that shows what type of viewers watch a particular TV show, so that advertisers can reach similar viewers on other platforms).

Introduction
This privacy policy describes how TiVo collects, uses, discloses, and protects information received from or about users of our products and services.
A few things to note:
  • When we refer to “TiVo products” in this policy, we mean any device, software, or website offered by any TiVo company or subsidiary (including TiVo DVRs, the TiVo Mini, the TiVo Stream, TiVo mobile apps, and 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.
  • When we say “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy, we mean TiVo, and/or one or more of its corporate affiliates. TiVo Corporation is incorporated in the State of Delaware and its principle office is 2 Circle Star Way, San Carlos CA 94070 USA. This policy covers TiVo Corporation, and its subsidiaries, which includes Rovi Corporation and its subsidiaries, and TiVo Inc. and its subsidiaries.
  • TiVo products provided to you directly by your cable or satellite provider are subject to their privacy policy (and not this policy).
This policy may be amended from time to time without notice and it is your responsibility to read it carefully and review any changes that may have been made. Since changes will be posted on this page, we encourage you to check this page regularly.
This policy, the processing of your online account data and any other data we collect shall be governed by the laws of the State of California and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in San Mateo County, California.
Collection and Use of Information
How do we collect information?
We collect information (both automatically and when we ask you to provide it) when you use TiVo products, place orders, contact customer service, and participate in surveys. We may also let you link a TiVo product with your account on a third-party service, such as Facebook or Twitter. We may also acquire a business that has information about you, or otherwise acquire information about you from third parties.
What information are we collecting?
Information we ask you to provide us may include, for example, your name, email address, phone number, shipping address, billing address, credit card information, and age or other demographic information.
Information we automatically collect may include, for example, data about your viewing behavior (such as how you use, watch, record, rate and interact with content accessed on or through TiVo products), device (such as model number, software versions, and unique device identifiers), location (such as GPS data, zip code, and time zone), and cable service (such as cable provider and cable channels). We may also collect information that does not directly identify you and is collected as you use our products and services, including your IP address, and information gathered with the use of a "cookie" (cookies are discussed further below), and information related to searches or recommendations on TiVo’s products and services. Such information collected includes, without limitation, which pages and content are browsed, interactions with advertising and content, and other data related to preferences and usage.
Information we collect from your account on a third-party service with your consent may include data about you and your friends from that service (such as what you or they have liked or shared).
- Anonymous Data
We may create Anonymous Data records from personal information by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data personally identifiable to you. Once we create Anonymous Data this Anonymous Data is our property. We use this Anonymous Data in many ways including analyzing request and usage patterns, creating reports and performing analytics so that we may enhance the content of our Services, improve Site navigation and provide meaningful analysis of habits, usage, trends, and effectiveness of marketing campaigns etc. as part of our analytics and other services. Company reserves the right to use and disclose Anonymous Data to Third-Party Companies in its absolute discretion.
- Social Media and Profiles
For certain TiVo products and services, the information that we may ask you to provide could include name, gender, location, email address, biographical information and the movies and television shows that you like to watch. When you create your profile, you may be asked if you want your profile to be public or private. Unless you state that you want your profile to be private your profile will be available for public viewing.
- Public Content
Your photos, posts, friends, and other content you post to the TiVo products and services (and your Profile if you designate it as public, including your first name and last initial but excluding any other account registration information) are meant for public consumption. We may display this content on any of the TiVo products and/or services and further distribute it to a wider audience through third-party sites and services.
- Facebook and other Social Networking Sites
If you are logged into Facebook or another Social Networking Site (“SNS”) that we support, and you access but are not logged into the TiVo service or product, we may receive information from Facebook or the SNS to make it easier for you to create an account on the TiVo product or service in question and to show our relevant content from your Facebook or SNS friends. This information personalizes your experience and helps you create an account (where this facility is available). You may also be able to connect your account on TiVo’s website to your accounts on Facebook or other SNSs, in which case we may collect and store information identifying your account with the third-party service. We use this information to help you connect and share public content with your friends and followers.
- Material You Choose to Reveal in On-­line Fora, Blogs, Message Boards, Chat Rooms or Similar Locations
You may be able to post personally information on areas of a TiVo product or service that may be viewed by other users or the public, although we recommend that you do not do so. 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. Please choose carefully the information you post on any of the TiVo products or services and that you give to other TiVo users. You are discouraged from publicly posting your full name, telephone numbers, street addresses or other information that identifies you or allows strangers to find you or steal your identity. Despite this prohibition, other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled.
YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DEALING WITH OTHER USERS WITH WHOM YOU COME IN CONTACT THROUGH ROVI PROPERTIES. WE EXPECT THAT YOU WILL USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN USING TIVO’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

- Tracking and Cookies
When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, including "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 associates, this may include the personalization of advertisements based on your visits to sites in that party’s network.
Please note that at least some of the TiVo websites do not currently respond to a web browser’s “do not track” instructions (e.g., a “do not track” signal). However, 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 see our cookie policy at https://www.tivo.com/legal/privacy for more information.
We may also work with third-party advertising companies that collect and use information to deliver more relevant advertising across the Internet and when you are using our products and services. To learn more about this practice and your choices with regard to companies participating in industry self-regulation, visit http://www.aboutads.info.
Please note: if you continue to use this website, or any other TiVo website, we will imply from this that you consent to our use of cookies.
Information about our use of cookies is contained in our Cookie Policy at https://www.tivo.com/legal/cookies
- Email
Email addresses are used for identification, inviting new friends to TiVo's products and services, searching for and finding friends, general communication, order processing and to send notifications to you. To facilitate searching for and finding friends on some of TiVo's products and services, TiVo allows users to search for other members using text searches, first and last name, email address, and by using other attributes. Users can invite friends to join certain TiVo's products and services by sending invitation emails via our automated invitation system. Where permitted by applicable law, TiVo stores these email addresses so that the respondents may be added to the friend list of the member sending the invitations and to establish relationships between users.
How do we use information we collect about you?
We use the information we collect to provide you with requested products and services, notify you of changes to our policies or products, notify you of offers that may interest you, process your orders, assist you in purchasing TiVo products, activate and renew your subscriptions, identify or troubleshoot issues, conduct surveys, improve the products and services we provide to you, and otherwise operate our business.
As part of providing you with a more personalized experience when using TiVo products, we may use information we collect to:
  • analyze your viewing habits (which lets us do things like suggest a particular TV show or movie that you may enjoy);
  • analyze your usage of TiVo product features (which lets us understand things like how many times a particular TV show was recorded, or how many of our users are watching content on a Netflix or YouTube app);
  • combine information we collect from your use of different TiVo products (which lets us do things like make it possible for you to start a show in one room and finish it in another); and
  • show you more relevant ads (both on TiVo products and on third-party websites). In particular, we may use your personal information and non-­personal information to serve ads to you via TiVo’s products and services as well as to provide you with promotions, products and services. We may also use third-­party advertising companies and other business associates to serve ads on TiVo’s products and services or other sites and provide you with promotions, products and services. These third-party advertising companies and our business associates may be located throughout the world.
These third-­party advertising companies and business associates may receive and share with us information relating to the advertisements that they serve you including, without limitation, date and time of ad shown, the ad that was shown and your IP address and your interactions with such advertisements. These third­-party advertising companies and business associates may use cookies, clear GIFs and anonymous information about your visits to TiVo’s websites and other websites to measure and improve the effectiveness of their ads, promotions, products and services.
This information may also be used for online preference and other targeted marketing purposes. The information received by these third­-party advertising companies and business associates is subject to the privacy policies of these third-­party advertising companies and business associates. We may be given access to this information by these third-­party advertising companies and business associates which we may use for purposes including, without limitation, to provide services to you, to better target advertising and content to you and to generate statistics and reports and to carry out analytics that help us to provide our services, to create new products and services, to better target advertising and content, (on our and our business associates’ websites, applications and devices) to generate statistics, reports and for various analytic purposes. We may make certain information about you available to third­-party advertising companies and other business associates under agreements between us and those third-­party advertising companies and business associates. The third­-party advertising companies and business associates will use that information to target advertising to you or provide and market promotions, products and services to you. You may withdraw your consent to our sending your personal information to advertising companies and business associates by sending us a written e­mail request from the e­mail address that is registered with us. If you do so we will not provide your personal information from the relevant TiVo product or service to third-party advertisers or business associates from the time you opt out. However where permitted by applicable law, we may still provide them with information that does not directly identify you from which they may send you targeted advertisements.
Many of our advertising associates are part of the Network Advertising Initiative. You may opt-­out of behavioral advertising for Network Advertising Initiative member companies by following the link below and opting-­out of all or some of the advertising networks:
(Opting-out of Flash Cookies is described above in the tracking information section.)
We may also use information we collect in our analytics business, where we use data that has been either de-identified or aggregated (or both) to generate insights into consumer behaviors (for example, to show what the most watched commercial was during a particular show).
If we acquire a business that has information about you, or otherwise acquire information about you from third parties, we may (subject to applicable law) combine that information with the information we already hold. This should enable us to provide you with improved or enhanced products or services.
Disclosure of Personal Information
As is common across websites, to use certain features of TiVo’s products and services, we may ask you to register, create an account, provide your full name and email address and create a password. Once you have created an account, you will have the option to fill out a form (all or portions of which may be included in your profile). When you create your profile, we collect personal information about you, such as name, address, location, e­mail address, etc. which will be stored in order to provide services to you and to conduct activities including, without limitation, using it to process your registration, maintain a profile about you, process your request to receive newsletters and email announcements, or to voluntarily participate in surveys or contests and/or to communicate with you about services and products we think may be of interest to you.
We are not in the business of selling your personal information to third parties. We will disclose your personal information to third parties only if:
  • we get your consent;
  • we are required to do so by applicable law, legal process, and/or governmental authorities;
  • we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, our customers, or others;

  • they provide services to us (such as processing credit card payments or collecting past due debts) and have agreed to use your information only for the purposes we request.
We may disclose de-identified, aggregated, or other non-personal information to third parties in our discretion. For example, we may provide reports showing aggregated information regarding our users to advertisers, networks, and others (like a report that shows what type of viewers watch a particular TV show, so that advertisers can reach similar viewers on other platforms).

You are discouraged from publicly posting your full name, telephone numbers, street addresses or other information that identifies you or allows strangers to find you or steal your identity.

- Tracking and Cookies
When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, including "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 associates, this may include the personalization of advertisements based on your visits to sites in that party’s network.
Please note that at least some of the TiVo websites do not currently respond to a web browser’s “do not track” instructions (e.g., a “do not track” signal). However, 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 see our cookie policy at https://www.tivo.com/legal/privacy for more information.
We may also work with third-party advertising companies that collect and use information to deliver more relevant advertising across the Internet and when you are using our products and services. To learn more about this practice and your choices with regard to companies participating in industry self-regulation, visit http://www.aboutads.info.
Please note: if you continue to use this website, or any other TiVo website, we will imply from this that you consent to our use of cookies.
Information about our use of cookies is contained in our Cookie Policy at https://www.tivo.com/legal/cookies
- Email
Email addresses are used for identification, inviting new friends to Rovi Properties, searching for and finding friends, general communication, order processing and to send notifications to you. To facilitate searching for and finding friends on the Rovi Properties, Rovi allows users to search for other members using text searches, first and last name, email address, and by using other attributes. Users can invite friends to join certain Rovi Properties by sending invitation emails via our automated invitation system. Where permitted by applicable law, Rovi stores these email addresses so that the respondents may be added to the friend list of the member sending the invitations and to establish relationships between users.
How do we use information we collect about you?
We use the information we collect to provide you with requested products and services, notify you of changes to our policies or products, notify you of offers that may interest you, process your orders, assist you in purchasing TiVo products, activate and renew your subscriptions, identify or troubleshoot issues, conduct surveys, improve the products and services we provide to you, and otherwise operate our business.
As part of providing you with a more personalized experience when using TiVo products, we may use information we collect to:
  • analyze your viewing habits (which lets us do things like suggest a particular TV show or movie that you may enjoy);
  • analyze your usage of TiVo product features (which lets us understand things like how many times a particular TV show was recorded, or how many of our users are watching content on a Netflix or YouTube app);
  • combine information we collect from your use of different TiVo products (which lets us do things like make it possible for you to start a show in one room and finish it in another); and
  • show you more relevant ads (both on TiVo products and on third-party websites). In particular, we may use your personal information and non-­personal information to serve ads to you via TiVo’s products and services as well as to provide you with promotions, products and services. We may also use third-­party advertising companies and other business associates to serve ads on TiVo’s products and services or other sites and provide you with promotions, products and services. These third-party advertising companies and our business associates may be located throughout the world.
These third-­party advertising companies and business associates may receive and share with us information relating to the advertisements that they serve you including, without limitation, date and time of ad shown, the ad that was shown and your IP address and your interactions with such advertisements. These third­-party advertising companies and business associates may use cookies, clear GIFs and anonymous information about your visits to TiVo’s websites and other websites to measure and improve the effectiveness of their ads, promotions, products and services.
This information may also be used for online preference and other targeted marketing purposes. The information received by these third­-party advertising companies and business associates is subject to the privacy policies of these third-­party advertising companies and business associates. We may be given access to this information by these third-­party advertising companies and business associates which we may use for purposes including, without limitation, to provide services to you, to better target advertising and content to you and to generate statistics and reports and to carry out analytics that help us to provide our services, to create new products and services, to better target advertising and content, (on our and our business associates’ websites, applications and devices) to generate statistics, reports and for various analytic purposes. We may make certain information about you available to third­-party advertising companies and other business associates under agreements between us and those third-­party advertising companies and business associates. The third­-party advertising companies and business associates will use that information to target advertising to you or provide and market promotions, products and services to you. You may withdraw your consent to our sending your personal information to advertising companies and business associates by sending us a written e­mail request from the e­mail address that is registered with us. If you do so we will not provide your personal information from the relevant TiVo product or service to third-party advertisers or business associates from the time you opt out. However where permitted by applicable law, we may still provide them with information that does not directly identify you from which they may send you targeted advertisements.
Many of our advertising associates are part of the Network Advertising Initiative. You may opt-­out of behavioral advertising for Network Advertising Initiative member companies by following the link below and opting-­out of all or some of the advertising networks:
(Opting-out of Flash Cookies is described above in the tracking information section.)
We may also use information we collect in our analytics business, where we use data that has been either de-identified or aggregated (or both) to generate insights into consumer behaviors (for example, to show what the most watched commercial was during a particular show).
If we acquire a business that has information about you, or otherwise acquire information about you from third parties, we may (subject to applicable law) combine that information with the information we already hold. This should enable us to provide you with improved or enhanced products or services.
Disclosure of Personal Information
As is common across websites, to use certain features of TiVo’s products and services, we may ask you to register, create an account, provide your full name and email address and create a password. Once you have created an account, you will have the option to fill out a form (all or portions of which may be included in your profile). When you create your profile, we collect personal information about you, such as name, address, location, e­mail address, etc. which will be stored in order to provide services to you and to conduct activities including, without limitation, using it to process your registration, maintain a profile about you, process your request to receive newsletters and email announcements, or to voluntarily participate in surveys or contests and/or to communicate with you about services and products we think may be of interest to you.
We are not in the business of selling your personal information to third parties. We will disclose your personal information to third parties only if:

  • they provide services to us (such as processing credit card payments or collecting past due debts) and have agreed to use your information only for the purposes we request.
We may disclose de-identified, aggregated, or other non-personal information to third parties in our discretion. For example, we may provide reports showing aggregated information regarding our users to advertisers, networks, and others (like a report that shows what type of viewers watch a particular TV show, so that advertisers can reach similar viewers on other platforms).

Effective as of July 20, 2016
Our goal is to give TiVo users the best TV-watching experience possible, and we have updated this policy so that TiVo users can better understand our treatment of their personal information.
Introduction
This privacy policy describes how TiVo Inc. collects, uses, discloses, and protects information received from or about users of our products and services.
A few things to note:
  • When we refer to “TiVo products” in this policy, we mean any device, software, or website offered by TiVo (including TiVo DVRs, the TiVo Mini, the TiVo Stream, TiVo mobile apps, and 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.
  • When we say “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy, we mean TiVo, and/or one or more of its corporate affiliates. TiVo Corporation is incorporated in the State of Delaware and its principle office is 2 Circle Star Way, San Carlos CA 94070 USA.
  • TiVo products provided to you directly by your cable or satellite provider are subject to their privacy policy (and not this policy).
This policy may be amended from time to time without notice and it is your responsibility to read it carefully and review any changes that may have been made. Since changes will be posted on this page, we encourage you to check this page regularly.
This policy, the processing of your online account data and any other data we collect shall be governed by the laws of the State of California and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in San Mateo County, California.
Collection and Use of Information
How do we collect information?
We collect information (both automatically and when we ask you to provide it) when you use TiVo products, place orders, contact customer service, and participate in surveys. We may also let you link a TiVo product with your account on a third-party service, such as Facebook or Twitter. We may also acquire a business that has information about you, or otherwise acquire information about you from third parties.
What information are we collecting?
Information we ask you to provide us may include, for example, your name, email address, phone number, shipping address, billing address, credit card information, and age or other demographic information.
Information we automatically collect may include, for example, data about your viewing behavior (such as how you use, watch, record, rate and interact with content accessed on or through TiVo products), device (such as model number, software versions, and unique device identifiers), location (such as GPS data, zip code, and time zone), and cable service (such as cable provider and cable channels). We may also collect information that does not directly identify you and is collected as you use our products and services, including your IP address, and information gathered with the use of a "cookie" (cookies are discussed further below), and information related to searches or recommendations on TiVo’s products and services. Such information collected includes, without limitation, which pages and content are browsed, interactions with advertising and content, and other data related to preferences and usage.
Information we collect from your account on a third-party service with your consent may include data about you and your friends from that service (such as what you or they have liked or shared).
- Anonymous Data
We may create Anonymous Data records from personal information by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data personally identifiable to you. Once we create Anonymous Data this Anonymous Data is our property. We use this Anonymous Data in many ways including analyzing request and usage patterns, creating reports and performing analytics so that we may enhance the content of our Services, improve Site navigation and provide meaningful analysis of habits, usage, trends, and effectiveness of marketing campaigns etc. as part of our analytics and other services. Company reserves the right to use and disclose Anonymous Data to Third-Party Companies in its absolute discretion.
- Social Media and Profiles
For certain TiVo products and services, the information that we may ask you to provide could include name, gender, location, email address, biographical information and the movies and television shows that you like to watch. When you create your profile, you may be asked if you want your profile to be public or private. Unless you state that you want your profile to be private your profile will be available for public viewing.
- Public Content
Your photos, posts, friends, and other content you post to the TiVo products and services (and your Profile if you designate it as public, including your first name and last initial but excluding any other account registration information) are meant for public consumption. We may display this content on any of the TiVo products and/or services and further distribute it to a wider audience through third-party sites and services.
- Facebook and other Social Networking Sites
If you are logged into Facebook or another Social Networking Site (“SNS”) that we support, and you access but are not logged into the TiVo service or product, we may receive information from Facebook or the SNS to make it easier for you to create an account on the TiVo product or service in question and to show our relevant content from your Facebook or SNS friends. This information personalizes your experience and helps you create an account (where this facility is available). You may also be able to connect your account on TiVo’s website to your accounts on Facebook or other SNSs, in which case we may collect and store information identifying your account with the third-party service. We use this information to help you connect and share public content with your friends and followers.
- Material You Choose to Reveal in On-­line Fora, Blogs, Message Boards, Chat Rooms or Similar Locations
You may be able to post personally information on areas of a TiVo product or service that may be viewed by other users or the public, although we recommend that you do not do so. 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. Please choose carefully the information you post on any of the TiVo products or services and that you give to other TiVo users. You are discouraged from publicly posting your full name, telephone numbers, street addresses or other information that identifies you or allows strangers to find you or steal your identity. Despite this prohibition, other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled.
YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DEALING WITH OTHER USERS WITH WHOM YOU COME IN CONTACT THROUGH ROVI PROPERTIES. WE EXPECT THAT YOU WILL USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN USING TIVO’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
- Tracking and Cookies
When you visit TiVo websites, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, including "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 associates, this may include the personalization of advertisements based on your visits to sites in that party’s network.
Please note that at least some of the TiVo websites do not currently respond to a web browser’s “do not track” instructions (e.g., a “do not track” signal). However, 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 see our cookie policy at https://www.tivo.com/legal/privacy for more information.
We may also work with third-party advertising companies that collect and use information to deliver more relevant advertising across the Internet and when you are using our products and services. To learn more about this practice and your choices with regard to companies participating in industry self-regulation, visit http://www.aboutads.info.
Please note: if you continue to use this website, or any other TiVo website, we will imply from this that you consent to our use of cookies.
Information about our use of cookies is contained in our Cookie Policy at https://www.tivo.com/legal/cookies
- Email
Email addresses are used for identification, inviting new friends to Rovi Properties, searching for and finding friends, general communication, order processing and to send notifications to you. To facilitate searching for and finding friends on the Rovi Properties, Rovi allows users to search for other members using text searches, first and last name, email address, and by using other attributes. Users can invite friends to join certain Rovi Properties by sending invitation emails via our automated invitation system. Where permitted by applicable law, Rovi stores these email addresses so that the respondents may be added to the friend list of the member sending the invitations and to establish relationships between users.
How do we use information we collect about you?
We use the information we collect to provide you with requested products and services, notify you of changes to our policies or products, notify you of offers that may interest you, process your orders, assist you in purchasing TiVo products, activate and renew your subscriptions, identify or troubleshoot issues, conduct surveys, improve the products and services we provide to you, and otherwise operate our business.
As part of providing you with a more personalized experience when using TiVo products, we may use information we collect to:
  • analyze your viewing habits (which lets us do things like suggest a particular TV show or movie that you may enjoy);
  • analyze your usage of TiVo product features (which lets us understand things like how many times a particular TV show was recorded, or how many of our users are watching content on a Netflix or YouTube app);
  • combine information we collect from your use of different TiVo products (which lets us do things like make it possible for you to start a show in one room and finish it in another); and
  • show you more relevant ads (both on TiVo products and on third-party websites). In particular, we may use your personal information and non-­personal information to serve ads to you via TiVo’s products and services as well as to provide you with promotions, products and services. We may also use third-­party advertising companies and other business associates to serve ads on TiVo’s products and services or other sites and provide you with promotions, products and services. These third-party advertising companies and our business associates may be located throughout the world.
These third-­party advertising companies and business associates may receive and share with us information relating to the advertisements that they serve you including, without limitation, date and time of ad shown, the ad that was shown and your IP address and your interactions with such advertisements. These third­-party advertising companies and business associates may use cookies, clear GIFs and anonymous information about your visits to TiVo’s websites and other websites to measure and improve the effectiveness of their ads, promotions, products and services.
This information may also be used for online preference and other targeted marketing purposes. The information received by these third­-party advertising companies and business associates is subject to the privacy policies of these third-­party advertising companies and business associates. We may be given access to this information by these third-­party advertising companies and business associates which we may use for purposes including, without limitation, to provide services to you, to better target advertising and content to you and to generate statistics and reports and to carry out analytics that help us to provide our services, to create new products and services, to better target advertising and content, (on our and our business associates’ websites, applications and devices) to generate statistics, reports and for various analytic purposes. We may make certain information about you available to third­-party advertising companies and other business associates under agreements between us and those third-­party advertising companies and business associates. The third­-party advertising companies and business associates will use that information to target advertising to you or provide and market promotions, products and services to you. You may withdraw your consent to our sending your personal information to advertising companies and business associates by sending us a written e­mail request from the e­mail address that is registered with us. If you do so we will not provide your personal information from the relevant TiVo product or service to third-party advertisers or business associates from the time you opt out. However where permitted by applicable law, we may still provide them with information that does not directly identify you from which they may send you targeted advertisements.
Many of our advertising associates are part of the Network Advertising Initiative. You may opt-­out of behavioral advertising for Network Advertising Initiative member companies by following the link below and opting-­out of all or some of the advertising networks:
(Opting-out of Flash Cookies is described above in the tracking information section.)
We may also use information we collect in our analytics business, where we use data that has been either de-identified or aggregated (or both) to generate insights into consumer behaviors (for example, to show what the most watched commercial was during a particular show).
If we acquire a business that has information about you, or otherwise acquire information about you from third parties, we may (subject to applicable law) combine that information with the information we already hold. This should enable us to provide you with improved or enhanced products or services.
Disclosure of Personal Information
As is common across websites, to use certain features of TiVo’s products and services, we may ask you to register, create an account, provide your full name and email address and create a password. Once you have created an account, you will have the option to fill out a form (all or portions of which may be included in your profile). When you create your profile, we collect personal information about you, such as name, address, location, e­mail address, etc. which will be stored in order to provide services to you and to conduct activities including, without limitation, using it to process your registration, maintain a profile about you, process your request to receive newsletters and email announcements, or to voluntarily participate in surveys or contests and/or to communicate with you about services and products we think may be of interest to you.
We are not in the business of selling your personal information to third parties. We will disclose your personal information to third parties only if:
  • we get your consent;
  • we are required to do so by applicable law, legal process, and/or governmental authorities;
  • we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, our customers, or others;
  • we are involved in a merger, acquisition, partial or total sale of assets, or other corporate change;
  • they are a joint venture partner or an entity we own or control (or that owns or controls us) that is either subject to this policy or follows privacy practices at least as protective as these; or
  • they provide services to us (such as processing credit card payments or collecting past due debts) and have agreed to use your information only for the purposes we request.
We may disclose de-identified, aggregated, or other non-personal information to third parties in our discretion. For example, we may provide reports showing aggregated information regarding our users to advertisers, networks, and others (like a report that shows what type of viewers watch a particular TV show, so that advertisers can reach similar viewers on other platforms).
Note that TiVo products may include commenting, forums, sharing, or other similar functionality. Information that you provide using these features (such as your name, your posts, or TV shows you have watched) may be available to other users or the general public.
Protection of Personal Information

You may choose to link your accounts on certain social networking services with your TiVo account or with your TiVo products (such as a TiVo DVR or mobile app). If you do so, you may be able to publish information to the linked social networking service, and we may be able to publish such information on your behalf.
