1. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Sportsnet+, a video streaming service (the “Service”) provided by or on behalf of Rogers Media Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “us”, “we”, “our” or “Rogers”). The Service offers streaming of live Sportsnet channels and other live or on-demand sports content, along with social sharing, photographs, statistics and other related content (“Content”) available to you from time to time through https://watch.sportsnet.ca/ or any software application that you have downloaded (“Software”) to view the Content (each, a “Site”). “You” and “your” means, as applicable, you and every person who uses the Service through your account. Please read these terms of service (“Terms”) carefully before you use a Site. By using any Site, you agree to abide by these Terms. If you don’t agree to comply with these Terms, then you may not use the Service or any Site. In these Terms, “residents of Québec” means residents of Québec to whom the Consumer Protection Act (Québec) applies in connection with the use of a Site and the Service.

 

2. AVAILABILITY AND ACCESS

(a) Availability. The Service is only available to users of a Site while in Canada who have (i) registered for the Service (“Registered User”), and (ii) have agreed to pay to use the Service on a subscription basis in order to access certain Content (“Subscription Content”) or have been given access to Subscription Content by subscribing to certain services offered by an affiliate of Rogers or a third party authorized by us (together, an “Authorized Distributor”), although limited portions of the Service are available to users that do not satisfy both (i) and (ii).

Your Authorized Distributor may deal with you directly for certain aspects relating to the Service, including payment, cancellation and other arrangements. You acknowledge and agree that Rogers is not responsible for those dealings that are solely between you and your Authorized Distributor.

(b) Access. Not all aspects of the Service, including, without limitation, certain Content viewing and access to high-quality video, will be available to you unless the applicable personal computer, gaming device, tablet device, mobile device or other digital device (each, a “Digital Device”) you use to access the Service and your Internet connection satisfy the Service’s minimum technical requirements available at https://www.sportsnetplus.ca/faq. We may change these requirements from time to time at our sole discretion. Unless we specify otherwise, you are solely responsible for updating or maintaining your Digital Device and Internet connection as necessary to meet these requirements and all associated costs. Since the Service is transmitted over the Internet, you may experience, from time to time, video and/or audio dropouts, rebuffering or loss of connection. You are responsible for any data/roaming usage and charges you incur to access the Service through an Internet connection.

(c) Blackouts. Some Subscription Content will be blacked out and not available to you based on where you live, the television services that you may or may not subscribe to and/or where you are located at the time you attempt to view that Subscription Content. In addition, some Subscription Content that is available on an equivalent linear TV channel (such as Sportsnet) will be blacked out and unavailable to you through the Service if Rogers does not own the right to make such Subscription Content available to you through the Service. Where feasible, Rogers may provide on a Site alternative Content in the place of any blacked out Subscription Content. Any attempt to tamper with or circumvent a blackout restriction described in this subsection is a breach of these Terms resulting in cancellation of the Service in accordance with subsection 14(a). For a full list of blackouts and/or blackout rules, see https://www.sportsnetplus.ca/faq. Content subject to blackouts may change from time-to-time.

(d) Access Verification and Payment Processing. Access verification services and in some instances, depending on the type of payment method used, payment processing services used in connection with the registration of Service users and the purchase and sale of Subscription Content are provided by NEULON, LIMITED, a subsidiary of NeuLion, Inc. on behalf of NeuLion, Inc.

 

3. REGISTRATION, ACCOUNT AND PASSWORD

To obtain access to the Subscription Content, you will be required to become a Registered User by registering for or using an existing MyRogers account, although you may be considered a Registered User on certain Sites that allow you to access the Subscription Content using other credentials. You agree that any information you supply to become a Registered User will be accurate and complete and that you will not register under the name of, nor attempt to use the Service under the name of, another person. You agree to promptly update any information necessary to ensure that your registration is kept accurate, current and complete. You are responsible for preserving the confidentiality of your Registered User credentials and will notify us immediately of any known or suspected unauthorized use of Registered User credentials and agree to take any reasonable steps necessary to prevent any reoccurrence. You may be held liable for any loss or damage incurred by Rogers or any other user or visitor to a Site due to another party using your Registered User credentials.

You agree to review these Terms regularly for updates by checking the date below. Your continued use of a Site after any modifications are posted will constitute acceptance of those modifications.

(b) Registered Users. If you are a Registered User, then we may modify these Terms or change any aspect of the Service at any time, upon no less than 30 days’ prior written notice to you. If you do not accept any modification to these Terms or change to the Service, then your sole remedy is to cancel the Service by sending us a notice to that effect no later than 30 days after the modification or change takes effect.

If paying by credit card, you authorize us to charge the credit card that you provide to us the amount representing the price of the Subscription Content that you ordered (plus applicable taxes), which may be a single payment or on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis, as indicated when you subscribe. If you have pre-authorized payments of Subscription Content on your credit card, you agree to promptly update any information necessary to ensure that the payments are processed and acknowledge that you may not be able to access the Subscription Content if you fail to do so.

In the event of a credit card chargeback, the Subscription Content will not be accessible until resolution of the chargeback and there will be no refund for the period that your Subscription Content is inaccessible. If charging your subscription to your account with an Authorized Distributor, your purchase may also be governed by their terms.

(c) Additional Terms. Additional terms and conditions applicable to Subscription Content (“Subscription Terms”), including, without limitation, the length of the subscription period and any automatic renewals, will be presented to you prior to subscribing.

If you do not notify us by that deadline that you wish to cancel any automatically renewing subscription, you understand your subscription will automatically renew and you authorize us (without further notice to you) to charge the renewal subscription price (plus applicable taxes) to your credit card or account with an Authorized Distributor, where available.

For instance, if you are a new subscriber, your subscription to the Service may be eligible for a free trial period (“Trial Period”) before we charge you for the Service. Rogers will advise you of the length of the Trial Period at the time the Promotional Offer is made to you. Rogers reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your free trial eligibility. You may cancel your subscription to Subscription Content at any time within the Trial Period, by notifying us through one of the contact options accessible at Section 19, and your credit card (or other payment method) will not be charged.
