1. Introduction.   Pajamas Media, (“PjTV,” “we” or “us”) provides various types of content and interactive online services on the Internet and via mobile devices (the “Services”) to our Member through our website at www.pjtv.com (the “Site”). Please read the following important Member Agreement and Terms of Use (the “Member Agreement”) carefully. This Member Agreement governs your access to and use of the Site, including any content, information, products or Services therein. This is a legal agreement between you and PJTV.  

When you subscribe to the Service, you are agreeing to this Member Agreement and the Terms of Use. To the extent you have access to, or are using, the Service without having completed our registration process, you are hereby notified that your use and your continued use of the Service are subject to the terms and conditions of this Member Agreement and Terms of Use as explained in Section 5 below.

 

2.  Changes to Agreement. We may change the terms of this Agreement at any time by notifying you of the change in writing or electronically. The changes also will appear in this document. Access to this document will be found at the bottom of each page. If any modified terms and conditions are not acceptable to you, your sole remedy is to cease using the Site and Services, and cancelling your subscription. By continuing to access, visit or use the Site and Services after we make any such changes, you agree to be bound by the revised Member Subscription Agreement and Terms of Use.

 

3.  Becoming a Member.   In order to access most features on the Site and use the Services, you will have to become a PJTV Member.  To become a Member you must be at least 18 years of age. As a Member you will pay fees as set forth in Section 5, below. We have different levels of membership, which are explained on our Subscription page.

When you register, you will be asked to enter your email address and to choose a password.  You are responsible for safeguarding your password and you agree not to disclose your password to any third party, nor may you allow a third party to access The Content under your account. Your password is personal to you, and access by any other person, even with your permission is not allowed.  Household members may watch The Content with you. You agree that you will be solely responsible for any activities or actions taken under your email address or password, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Us of any unauthorized use of your password. You agree that the information that you provide to us upon registration, and at all other times will be true, accurate, current and complete.

If you become a Member you consent to the use of: (a) electronic means to complete these Terms of Use and to provide you with any notices given pursuant to this Member Agreement; and (b) electronic records to store information related to this Member Agreement and your use of the Site and Services.

 

4.  Your Account Information.  Registration data and other information about you are subject to our Privacy Policy.  You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.  In addition to being a violation of our Terms of Use (see Section 11, below), if you provide someone else with access to your password to The Service, they will have the ability to view information about your account and make changes through the website for the Service. You agree to notify us promptly if you change your address or email so we can continue to contact you and send any notices required under this Agreement. If you fail to notify us promptly of a change, then any notice we send to your old address or email shall be deemed sufficient notice.

 

5.  Fees and Payments. You agree to pay the membership fees and any other charges incurred in connection with your user name and password for the Service (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. Our subscriptions are monthly. They will start on the date you register and renew on that same date each month (your “Renewal Date”).    We will bill all charges automatically to your credit card each month on your monthly Renewal Date.  Unless we state in writing otherwise, all fees and charges are nonrefundable.  Therefore if you cancel prior to your Renewal Date, your cancellation will go into effect at the end of that period on your Renewal Date.   We may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving you notice in advance.  Changes in fees will always go into effect on the next Renewal Date. 

If you believe someone has accessed the Service using your user name and password without your authorization, please notify us through the Support page.  You are responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access a Service through an Internet access provider or other third-party service. If you distribute your user information to any third person, or make it available on any website, your account may be immediately terminated.

 

6. Renewal, Modification and Cancellation. Your subscription will renew automatically, unless we terminate it or you notify us by e-mail (receipt of which must be confirmed by email reply from us) of your decision to cancel your subscription. You must cancel your subscription 72 hours prior to any Renewal Date in order to avoid billing of subscription fees for the next month to your credit card. If you cancel, you will have access until your next Renewal Date regardless of the date of your cancellation.

You may also change your membership program.  Current membership programs can be viewed on the Subscription Page.  All membership changes will take effect, and be billed at the beginning of your next membership month.
