1.2. We may offer a number of membership plans, including special promotional plans or memberships offered by third parties in conjunction with the provision of their own products and services. We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties.

2.2. Free trial eligibility is determined by WENTV at its sole discretion and we may limit eligibility or duration to prevent free trial abuse. We reserve the right to revoke the free trial and put your account on hold in the event that we determine that you are not eligible. Members of households with an existing or recent WENTV membership are not eligible. We may use information such as device ID, method of payment or an account email address used with an existing or recent WENTV membership to determine eligibility. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply.
2.3. We will charge the membership fee for your next billing cycle to your Payment Method at the end of the free trial period and your membership will automatically renew unless you cancel your membership prior to the end of the free trial period.

3 Billing and Cancellation
3.1. Billing Cycle. The membership fee for the WENTV service any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the service, such as taxes and possible transaction fees, will be charged to your Payment Method on the specific billing date indicated on your "Account" page. The length of your billing cycle will depend on the type of subscription that you choose when you sign-up for the service. Membership fees are fully earned upon payment. In some cases your payment date may change, for example if your Payment Method has not successfully settled or if your paid membership began on a day not contained in a given month. Visit our website and click on the "Billing Information" link on the "Account" page to see your next payment date. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of membership or service-related charges through various methods, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization during your free trial period.
3.2. Payment Methods. To use the WENTV service you must provide one or more Payment Methods. You authorize us to charge any Payment Method associated to your account in case your primary Payment Method is declined or no longer available to us for payment of your subscription fee. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your account, we may suspend your access to the service until we have successfully charged a valid Payment Method. For some Payment Methods, the issuer may charge you certain fees, such as foreign transaction fees or other fees relating to the processing of your Payment Method. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.
3.3. Updating your Payment Methods. You can update your Payment Methods by going to the "Account" page. We may also update your Payment Methods using information provided by the payment service providers. Following any update, you authorize us to continue to charge the applicable Payment Method(s).

3.5. Changes to the Price and Subscription Plans. We reserve the right to change our subscription plans or adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes or changes to your subscription plan will take effect following notice to you.
3.6. No Refunds. Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.
3.7. We regularly make changes to the Services. The availability of the Content, as well as Access Points and Compatible Devices through which the Services are available, will change from time to time. WENTV reserves the right to replace or remove any Content and Access Points available to you through the Services, including specific titles and networks/channels, and to otherwise make changes in how we operate the Services. Additionally, you agree that for various reasons, such as restrictions from content programmers and other limitations or considerations from third parties, certain Content and functionality that may be available through one Access Point or Compatible Device may not be available through another Access Point or Compatible Device. We hope not to, but we may change, suspend, or discontinue - temporarily or permanently - some or all of the Services (including the Content and the Compatible Devices through which the Services are accessed), with respect to any or all users, at any time without notice. In our continued assessment of the Services, we may from time to time, with respect to any or all of our users, experiment with or otherwise offer certain features or other elements of the Services, including promotional features, user interfaces, plans, pricing, and advertisements. You acknowledge that WENTV may do so in WENTV's sole discretion at any time without notice. You also agree that WENTV will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services, although if you are a WENTV subscriber and WENTV suspends or discontinues your subscription to the Services, WENTV may, in its sole discretion, provide you with a credit, refund, discount or other form of consideration (for example, we may credit additional days of service to your account) in accordance with Section 4 below. However, if WEN TV terminates your account or suspends or discontinues your access to Services due to your violation of these Terms, then you will not be eligible for any such credit, refund, discount or other consideration.

4.7. The quality of the display of the WENTV content may vary from device to device, and may be affected by a variety of factors, such as your location, the bandwidth available through and/or speed of your Internet connection. HD, Ultra HD and HDR availability is subject to your Internet service and device capabilities. Not all content is available in all formats, such as HD, Ultra HD or HDR and not all plans allow you to receive content in all formats. Default playback settings on cellular networks exclude HD, Ultra HD and HDR content. The minimum connection speed for SD quality is 0.5 Mbps; however, we recommend a faster connection for improved video quality. A download speed of at least 5.0 Mbps per stream is recommended to receive HD content (defined as a resolution of 720p or higher). A download speed of at least 25.0 Mbps per stream is recommended to receive Ultra HD (defined as a resolution of 1080p or higher) and HDR content. You are responsible for all Internet access charges. Please check with your Internet provider for information on possible Internet data usage charges. WENTV makes no representations or warranties about the quality of your watching experience on your display. The time it takes to begin watching WENTV content show will vary based on a number of factors, including your location, available bandwidth at the time, the WENTV content you have selected and the configuration of your WENTV ready device.
4.8. WENTV uses various technologies to provide you with an optimal viewing experience. That said, quality of Content, including resolution, may be affected by the format of the Content, your location, the speed and bandwidth of your internet service, and the devices used, among other factors. HD and 4K Ultra HD availability for certain Content depends on your internet service and device capabilities. The time it takes you to begin playing Content will vary based on a number of factors, including your location, internet bandwidth, the number of devices simultaneously connecting to the same network, the Content you have selected, and the configuration of the device you are using. As a result, WENTV is unable to make any warranties about the Content in these respects.
4.9. WENTV software may solely be used for authorized streaming and viewing of content from WENTV through WENTV ready devices. This software may vary by device and medium, and functionalities may also differ between devices. By using our service, you agree to receive, without further notice or prompting, updated versions of the WENTV and related third-party software. If you do not accept the foregoing terms, do not use our service.
4.10. By using our service, you agree to look solely to the entity that manufactured and/or sold you the WENTV ready device for any issues related to the device and its compatibility with the WENTV service. We do not take responsibility or otherwise warrant the performance of WENTV ready devices, including the continued compatibility with our service. If your WENTV ready device is sold, lost or stolen, please deactivate the WENTV ready device. If you fail to log out or deactivate your device, subsequent users may access the WENTV service through your account and may be able to access certain of your account information. To deactivate a device, follow instructions on the "Account" page of our website.
4.11. Content tends to elicit varying reactions among different people. You may come across Content that you find offensive, indecent, explicit or objectionable.

4.12. We want you to have the best experience with our Services, including the ability to easily discover new Content. To help do that, Content you view across all Services may include promotional videos (e.g., previews or trailers) before and after that Content.
5 Your Content in our Services
5.1. Some of our Services allow you to upload, submit, or receive content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours.
5.2. When you upload, submit, or receive content to or through our Services, you give WENTV (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. Some Services may offer you ways to access and remove content that has been provided to that Service. Also, in some of our Services, there are terms or settings that narrow the scope of our use of the content submitted in those Services. Make sure you have the necessary rights to grant us this license for any content that you submit to our Services.
5.3. If you have a WENTV Account, we may display your Profile name, Profile photo, and actions you take on WENTV or on third-party applications connected to your WENTV Account (such as +1’s, reviews you write and comments you post) in our Services, including displaying in ads and other commercial contexts. We will respect the choices you make to limit sharing or visibility settings in your WENTV Account. For example, you can choose to not include your name and photo.
5.4 If you submit feedback or suggestions about our Services, we may use your feedback or suggestions without obligation to you.
5.5. Open source software is important to us. Some software used in our Services may be offered under an open source license. There may be provisions in the open source license that expressly override some of these terms.
ACCESS AND USE OF THE SERVICES
6.1. Open source WENTV is pleased to grant you a non-exclusive limited license to use the Services, including accessing and viewing the Content on a streaming-only basis through the Video Player, for personal, non-commercial purposes as set forth in these Terms. The periods during which you can view each piece of Content will vary based on the rights availability of such Content and the terms of your subscription.
6.2. Open WENTV offers the option to personalize use of the Services through the creation of a one or more profiles under one account. Only the account holder, and those with permission from the account holder, may create a profile. The member who created the WENTV account and whose Payment Method is charged (the "Account Owner") has access and control over the WENTV account and the WENTV ready devices that are used to access our service and is responsible for any activity that occurs through the WENTV account. To maintain control over the account and prevent anyone from accessing the account (which could include information on viewing history for the account), the Account Owner should maintain control over the WENTV ready devices that are used to access the service and not reveal the password or details of the Payment Method associated to the account to anyone. You are responsible for updating and maintaining the accuracy of the information you provide to us relating to your account. We can terminate your account or place your account on hold in order to protect you, WENTV or our partners from identity theft or other fraudulent activity. WENTV is not obligated to credit or discount a membership for holds placed on the account by either a representative of WENTV or by the automated processes of WENTV.

CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS SHALL AFFECT ANY NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US, IF ANY, FOR ACCESSING OR PARTICIPATING IN ANY ACTIVITY RELATED TO USE OF THE SERVICES OR $50 (WHICHEVER IS LESS).

Arbitration Agreement
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. WE WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. If you have an issue with the Services, we encourage you to review our contact our customer service team through www.wenetwork.tv/Home/Contact. In the event there is an issue that still requires attention, we want to make the resolution process as quick and efficient as possible. We also want to specify now what each of us should expect in order to avoid any confusion later. To that end, you and WENTV agree to first discuss any issue informally for at least 30 days. To do that, please send your full name and contact information, your concern and your proposed solution by mail to us at: WENTV, LLC, 14500 Sherman Cir #327, Van Nuys, CA 91405 Attn: Legal Department. If we would like to discuss an issue with you, we will contact you using the email address you provided when you registered for WENTV.
8.1. If we do not reach an agreed upon solution after our discussions for at least 30 days, you and WENTV agree that any and all claims that either of us may have arising out of or relating to: (i) these Terms (including formation, performance, or breach of them, and including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision); (ii) the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated in these Terms; (iii) any aspect of our relationship with each other; and (iv) use of the Services, must be resolved through binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its Consumer Arbitration Rules, available atwww.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. As an exception to this arbitration agreement, WENTV is happy to give you the right to pursue in small claims court any claim that is within that court's jurisdiction as long as you proceed only on an individual basis, waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your WENTV membership.
8.2. If WENTV initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to the email address used for your membership account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by WENTV, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand").
8.3. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless WENTV and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of Los Angeles, CA. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law.
8.4. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision explaining the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
8.5. YOU AND WENTV AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and WENTV agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

10. WenTV's Community Guidelines
10.1 Nudity or sexual content
WenTV is not for pornography or sexually explicit content. If this describes Content Creator’s video, even if it is a video of Content Creator’s self, do not post it on WenTV. Also, be advised that WenTV works closely with law enforcement and WenTV reports child exploitation or endangerment.
10.2 Harmful or dangerous content
Do not post videos that encourage others to do things that might cause them to get badly hurt, especially kids. Videos showing such harmful or dangerous acts may get age-restricted or removed depending on their severity.
10.3 Hateful content
Our products are platforms for free expression. But we do not support content that promotes or condones violence against individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, nationality, veteran status, or sexual orientation/gender identity, or whose primary purpose is inciting hatred on the basis of these core characteristics. This can be a delicate balancing act, but if the primary
purpose is to attack a protected group, the content crosses the line.
10.4 Violent or graphic content
It is not acceptable to post violent or gory content that is primarily intended to be shocking, sensational, or gratuitous. If posting graphic content in a news or documentary context, please be mindful to provide enough information to help people understand what is going on in the video. Do not encourage others to commit specific acts of violence.

It is acceptable to post abusive videos and comments on WenTV. If harassment crosses the line into a malicious attack, it can be reported and may be removed. In other cases, users may be mildly annoying or petty and should be ignored.
10.6 Spam, misleading metadata, and scams
Do not create misleading descriptions, tags, titles, or thumbnails in order to increase views. It is not okay to post large amounts of untargeted, unwanted or repetitive content, including comments and private messages.
10.7 Threats
Actions such as predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment, intimidation, invading privacy, revealing other people's personal information, and inciting others to commit violent acts or to violate the Agreement are taken very seriously. Any Content Creator
caught doing these actions may be permanently banned from WenTV.
10.8 Copyright
Respect copyright. Only upload videos that Content Creator made or that Content Creator isauthorizedtouse.ThismeansdonotuploadvideosContentCreatordidnot make, or use Content in Content Creator’s videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, or videos made by other users, without necessary authorizations.
10.9 Privacy

10.11 Additional policies
If Content Creator’s on- and/or off-platform behavior harms our users, community, employees or ecosystem, WenTV may respond based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the egregiousness of their actions and whether a pattern of harmful
behavior exists. WenTV’s response will range from suspending a Content Creator’s privileges to account termination.
10.12 Vulgar language
Some language is not appropriate for younger audiences. The use of sexually explicit language or excessive swearing in Content Creator’s video or associated metadata may lead to Content Creator’s video being age-restricted.
10.13 Inactive accounts policy
In general, Content Creators are expected to be active members within the WenTV community. If an account is found to be overly inactive, the account may be reclaimed by WenTV without notice. Inactivity may be considered as:
Not logging into the WenTV website for at least six months
Never having uploaded video content
Not actively partaking in watching or commenting on videos or channels
