Terms of Use

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING OUR WEBSITES, APPS, OR OTHER SERVICES.

A&E Television Networks, LLC and its subsidiaries, doing business as A+E Global Media™ (collectively, “A+E Global Media”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) owns, operates and/or provides this and other U.S.-based digital properties, such as websites, apps, games, and other online products, services and platforms, that include an authorized link to or disclosure of these Terms of Use (each, a “Site”, and collectively, the “Sites”) subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. You agree that both your access to and use of the Sites are governed by these Terms of Use (the “Terms”). These Terms are a legal contract between you and A+E Global Media, and by accessing and/or using the Sites, including registering for an account, interacting with the Sites, or submitting feedback through the Sites, you agree to follow and be bound by the Terms and to abide by all rules, terms, conditions, restrictions, and notices in the Terms. Promotions, sweepstakes, giveaways, contests, or other interactions with the Sites (each, a “Promotion”) are governed by these Terms unless specifically superseded by Promotion-specific terms.

THESE TERMS CONTAIN A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION (SECTION 1), DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES (SECTION 14), AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY (SECTION 15). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Sites.

1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND A+E GLOBAL MEDIA CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER AND REQUIRES ALL DISPUTES TO BE BROUGHT SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

(a) Governing Law and Venue. These Terms and any Disputes (defined below) between you and us will be governed by New York law, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law that might require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. You and A+E Global Media agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New York County, New York, and you and A+E Global Media agree to submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any applicable Dispute. The United Nations Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall have no applicability to these Terms.

(b) “Disputes” are any disputes, claims, actions, and other controversies between you and A+E Global Media or between you and the affiliates or agents of A+E Global Media that, in either case, arise out of or relate to these Terms, the Sites, or any other products or services related thereto, whether based in contract, tort, warranty, fraud, misrepresentation, statute, regulation, or another legal or equitable basis.

(c) Informal Dispute Resolution Prior to Litigation. If you have a Dispute with A+E Global Media or if A+E Global Media has a Dispute with you, you or A+E Global Media must first attempt to resolve the Dispute through informal negotiation for a period of 60 days, or such longer period as mutually agreed in writing (email suffices) by the parties (“Informal Resolution Period”) from the day either party receives a written notice of a Dispute from the other party (a “Claimant Notice”) in accordance with these Terms. The Informal Resolution Period is designed to allow the party who has received a Claimant Notice to make a fair, fact-based offer of settlement if it chooses to do so. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines for a Dispute will be tolled for the duration of the Informal Resolution Period for that Dispute so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.

A valid Claimant Notice must be in writing and include all of the following: (i) the name, address and email address of the party giving notice, (ii) a description of the nature and facts of the Dispute, (iii) the relief requested, including the damages sought, if any, and a detailed calculation of them, (iv) an acknowledgement that the Dispute is subject to these Terms, and (v) a personally signed statement from the claimant (and not their counsel) verifying the accuracy of the contents of the notice. A Claimant Notice must be individualized, meaning it can only concern yours or A+E Global Media’s Dispute and no other person’s or entity’s Dispute.

You will send any Claimant Notice to A+E Global Media at the following address:

A+E Global Media
Attn: Legal Operations, Legal & Business Affairs
235 E. 45th Street
New York, NY 10017
Re: Notice of Dispute

With a copy by email to legal-notice@aegm.com, with the subject heading: “Notice of Dispute”

We will send any Claimant Notice to you at the contact information we have for you.

If a party receives a Claimant Notice, the receiving party will acknowledge receipt of the Claimant Notice and make a good faith effort during the Informal Resolution Period to either resolve the Dispute or explain why the claimant is not entitled to relief. Neither you nor A+E Global Media may commence any court action or other legal proceeding regarding a Dispute before the end of the Informal Resolution Period. If you or A+E Global Media file a court action or other legal proceeding regarding a Dispute without complying with the requirements in Section 1, including waiting until the conclusion of the Informal Resolution Period, the other party may (i) seek relief from a court to enjoin the filing until the requirements in this Section are fully met and (ii) seek damages from the party that has not followed the requirements in this Section to reimburse it for any costs incurred as a foreseeable consequence of that breach.

(d) Meet and Confer. The recipient of a Claimant Notice may request an individualized telephone or video settlement conference, and both parties shall personally attend (with counsel, if represented) any conference that is held. You and A+E Global Media agree to work cooperatively to schedule the conference at the earliest mutually convenient time (with the Informal Resolution Period being extended as needed until that time) and to seek to reach a resolution during any such conference.

(e) Class Action Waiver. This section 1(e) will apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. NO DISPUTE SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER DISPUTE, INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SITES. NO CLASS ACTION PROCEEDINGS OR ANY PROCEEDINGS IN WHICH EITHER YOU OR A+E GLOBAL MEDIA ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY SHALL BE PERMITTED, AND NEITHER YOU NOR A+E GLOBAL MEDIA WILL PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SITES OR ANY OTHER PRODUCTS OR SERVICES RELATED THERETO. ANY RELIEF MAY BE AWARDED ONLY INDIVIDUALLY AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO REDRESS YOUR OR A+E GLOBAL MEDIA‘S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S); RELIEF MAY NOT BE AWARDED ON BEHALF OF OTHERS OR THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

(f) One Year to Assert Claims. In no event shall you or A+E Global Media send a Claimant Notice or commence litigation over any Dispute more than one (1) year after the Dispute first arose. After such time, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that you or A+E Global Media will no longer have the right to assert that Dispute.

(g) Severability. If any part of this Section 1 is found to be unlawful or unenforceable for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms and (ii) the remainder of these Terms will remain in effect. If the class action waiver in Section 1(e) is found to be unlawful or unenforceable in a state for any reason, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, claimants may seek certification only of a class composed of residents of that state. Further, if any part of this Section 1 is found to unlawfully prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought, and the remainder of this Section 1 will be enforceable.

(h) Third-Party Beneficiaries. You must resolve Disputes with our past, present, and future affiliates and agents as though they were or are A+E Global Media. Such affiliates and agents are third-party beneficiaries of this Section 1 and can enforce this Section 1 as though they were or are A+E Global Media in the event they become involved in a Dispute with you. Otherwise, these Terms are only for the benefit of, and will only be enforceable by, you and A+E Global Media only and do not give rights to any third parties.

You agree not to introduce knowingly or recklessly a virus or other harmful component, otherwise tamper with, impair or damage any Site or connected network, or interfere with any person or entity’s use or enjoyment of any Site. You further agree not to access, monitor or copy, or permit another person or entity to access, monitor or copy, the Sites or Content or any portion of the Sites or Content using a robot, search engine, “spider,” “scraper,” or other automated means or manual process without our express written permission.

The Trademarks owned by A+E Global Media and its subsidiaries, whether registered or unregistered, may not be used in connection with any product or service that is not A+E Global Media’s, in any manner that suggests an association with our products, services, or brands, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion among consumers, or in any manner that disparages A+E Global Media.

4. PURCHASING CONTENT OR SUBSCRIPTIONS

You may choose to purchase merchandise, content, subscriptions, or other products or services from (or within) others, such as merchants, apps, app stores, or other platforms (collectively, “Merchants”) posted on, linked to, or otherwise accessible through the Sites. Any terms, conditions, warranties, or representations from Merchants regarding purchases from Merchants are solely between you and the Merchant. A+E Global Media is not responsible for losses or damages of any kind resulting from such purchases and A+E Global Media makes no warranty or representation regarding purchases through any Merchant posted on or linked to through the Sites. In-app purchases through third-party app stores or marketplaces are governed by the terms of the third-party app store or marketplace.

5. SUBSCRIPTIONS

When purchasing a subscription to the service(s), you may be presented with different plans or options, such as the A+E Global Media Bundle Subscription (as defined below), which may be subject to differences in pricing, eligibility, restrictions, features, and device availability.

We may offer both monthly and annual subscriptions. Our subscription services are available for purchase online directly through A+E Global Media or through select third-parties (including but not limited to app stores, television providers, and other platforms). You must be 18 years or older to purchase. By signing up for a subscription, you agree that your subscription will be automatically renewed for the applicable duration (typically, monthly or annually) unless you cancel your subscription before the renewal date. Upon renewal, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the renewal term.

Subscription pricing is subject to change at any time with advance notice. Unless we notify you of a rate change prior to your auto-renewal (in which case you will be offered the right to cancel your subscription at that time), the renewal rate will be no more than the rate for the immediately prior subscription period, excluding any promotional and discount pricing. Your billing period will begin on the date you purchase a subscription and continue on a recurring basis unless you cancel or change your subscription. Your recurring subscription is billed on the first day of each billing period. If you purchase a subscription through a third-party, the third-party may change the price for a subscription on their platform and will communicate any price changes to you in accordance with its terms and policies.

Prices do not include sales tax. Applicable sales tax will be calculated and added at the time you complete a transaction.

We are pleased to offer eligible subscribers, who are over 18, access to certain combinations of two or more of the A+E Global Media services (the “A+E Global Media Bundle Subscription”). This promotional offer may be modified or terminated at any time. Your subscription to the A+E Global Media Bundle Subscription may be subject to certain terms and conditions disclosed to you at the time of purchase. The A+E Global Media Bundle Subscription is only available in the United States.

You can cancel your subscription at any time. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid being charged for the next cycle’s subscription fee. If you cancel your subscription you will not receive a prorated refund for the current term, but you will continue to have access to your subscription until the end of that period. If you purchased your subscription online, you can sign into your account online and go to “My Account” to cancel. If you obtained your subscription through a third party, you should cancel your subscription directly with that third party according to its terms and policies. Canceling a paid subscription will not terminate your account; see Section 13 (Termination) for information about terminating an account. Subscriptions may be upgraded/downgraded to or from the A+E Global Media Bundle Subscription by accessing “My Account” and choosing “Change Plan” or canceled in accordance with the terms above. Please note, the A+E Global Media Bundle Subscription may only be downgraded to a single subscription.

Some of our subscriptions may offer gifting options. For more information and additional terms about gifting, please see our Gift Subscription Terms and Conditions at aegm.com/giftterms.

A+E Global Media is neither responsible nor liable for any part of such dealings or promotions.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law.

Please see the requirements and specific instructions for submitting a notice to A+E Global Media in our Copyright Policy at https://www.mylifetime.com/copyright-policy.

The provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination of the Terms, including Sections 1, 14, 15, and 16, shall survive such termination.
