The services are available via various devices, e.g., web browsers (e.g. via www.zattoo.com) and (mobile) applications (apps), and in particular apps for mobile devices, smart TVs and set-top boxes/ streaming boxes or other applications (software such as the Zattoo player). The services are available as ad-financed and free of charge services or for full or partial payment, depending on factors such as your region, resolution and end device. The charges incurred from a service are explicitly stated, where applicable. Until further notice, all services in Austria are generally only available subject to a fee. The scope of available services may vary regionally; that is, some TV channels available in one country may not be available in other countries. By registering as a user with Zattoo, you accept the following General Terms and Conditions (GTC) for the use of Zattoo. The GTC apply to Zattoo users residing in Austria.

1. REGISTRATION AND SCOPE OF USE

1.1 Zattoo's offer is aimed at people aged 16 and above; people below the age of 16 are not permitted to register. The use of Zattoo as a whole and individual services is subject to a fee, which can be found in the respective offer description.

1.2 To register with Zattoo, the user must provide their email address, gender and date of birth, and set a password. By clicking the "Register" button, the user is conclusively submitting a binding offer to conclude a contract to register with Zattoo; no contract has been concluded yet. Alternatively, the user can also register by logging into their Facebook, Google or Amazon account and entering their gender and their date of birth. Logging in with a Facebook, Google or Amazon account does not mean that the user has entered into a contract with Zattoo, rather, it means the user has made an offer to conclude a contract to register with Zattoo. The user guarantees that all data that they submit during the registration process is true and complete.

1.3 Zattoo will immediately confirm receipt of the registration request to the user electronically. With this confirmation of receipt, Zattoo accepts user's offer. The contractual relationship between Zattoo and the user is only established upon this acceptance of registration.

1.4 Zattoo will only be made available to the user for personal and non-commercial use. The user is not permitted to transfer their user account to third parties.

1.5 The scope of available services may vary regionally; certain TV channels that are available in one country may not be available in other countries. In addition, the availability of services may depend on the end device or the respective internet access, for example, certain TV channels, which may vary regionally, cannot be accessed via mobile communications. Details can be found in the relevant offer description.

1.6 A service can generally be used on all end devices supported by Zattoo.

1.7 Further restrictions, in particular technical restrictions, can be found in the respective offer descriptions.

2. CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT FOR PAID SERVICES

2.1 The fee payable for using one of the services can be found in the respective offer description. The scope of services and any restrictions can also be found there.

2.2 Payment of a fee only entitles the user to access the services that are available in the country indicated in the offer description by means of the devices provided for this purpose. Zattoo provides an overview of the available paid services, their scope of services, terms and fees including VAT.

2.3 The user submitting an order for paid services does not give rise to a contract, rather, the user is submitting an offer. The user can change and view the data at any time before submitting the order. Zattoo will immediately confirm receipt of the order electronically. With this confirmation of receipt, Zattoo accepts the user's offer. Zattoo only concludes a contractual relationship with the user upon Zattoo's acceptance of the order. Zattoo's acceptance may be given implicitly, in particular by activating the paid services.

2.4 Fees must be paid for the entire term. The payment methods listed in the offer description are all acceptable, in particular credit card and PayPal. Payment is usually collected by the service provider commissioned for the payment process. Insofar as the commissioned service provider includes its own general terms and conditions in individual cases, these will apply exclusively to payment processing. If applicable, the user must have a user account with the service provider. If the fees cannot be withdrawn, the user will bear all costs incurred as a result, insofar as they are responsible for the event which gave rise to the costs. Zattoo may send invoices to the user by email to the email address most recently provided by the user. The selection and maintenance of supported end devices is continued at Zattoo's sole discretion. The user is not entitled to support of specific end devices during their contractual period.

2.5 Should the user fail to pay any fees or should any payments made be charged back, Zattoo is entitled to block access to any or all of Zattoo's services.

2.6 The contract is concluded in German. Zattoo will save the text of the contract and send the user the order data by email to the email address which they have most recently provided.

2.7 Zattoo will provide the user with the latest software version of the respective subscribed products during the term of the contract provided that the operating system of the user's device has the required compatibility.

3. TIME-LIMITED TRIAL OFFERS

Zattoo may offer paid services to users free of charge for a period of time (“Trial Offer”). It is at Zattoo's sole discretion to determine which users may participate in a Trial Offer. Zattoo may terminate the provision of a Trial Offer at any time or change the scope of services of the Trial Offer. Users from households with an existing or recently terminated membership are not eligible to conclude a Trial Offer. To check this, Zattoo can access information such as the device ID, payment method or email address that has been or will be used for a Zattoo membership. Zattoo may require users to provide their payment information at the beginning of the Trial Offer. Zattoo may charge users after the end of a Trial Offer with the fees incurred for the subsequent chargeable continued use of the relevant service. Users are informed of this in the offer description and must agree to it. The user is free to cancel the Trial Offer up to 48 hours before the end of the trial period. Otherwise, the Trial Offer will be converted into a paid service.

4. CANCELLATION POLICY
