Terms of Use
Overview:
Welcome to Netflix. We are an online subscription service, providing our members with access to motion pictures, television and other audio visual entertainment
("movies & TV shows") streaming over the Internet to certain Internet-connected TV's, computers and other devices ("Netflix ready devices"). We've put together
here some detailed terms and conditions. You should read and understand them as they govern your use of our service.
These Terms of Use provide that all disputes between you and Netflix will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT
TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined
by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury and your claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review the
Arbitration Agreement below for
the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with Netflix.
These Terms of Use are also a resource for you to get a deeper understanding of how our service works, including the kinds of data we collect, the way we bill,
how we interact with you and other useful details about our service. We encourage you to revisit these Terms of Use when you have a question about the service
or want to know how something works. For your convenience, we've indexed the Terms of Use so as to help you more easily navigate and access areas of
interest. We hope you enjoy your Netflix experience.
Please note that these Terms of Use include embedded hyperlinks that may be accessed only through our website, so if you are reviewing these Terms of Use
through certain Netflix ready devices (for example, game consoles or Internet enabled televisions), you may need to visit the website to review these additional
hyperlinked terms.
Acceptance of Terms of Use
These Terms of Use, which include our Privacy Policy and End User License Agreement ("EULA") govern your use of the Netflix service, including all features
and functionalities, instant streaming, our website and user interfaces, and all content and software associated therewith (the "Netflix service" or "service"). By
using, visiting, or browsing the Netflix service, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you should
not use the Netflix service, including our website and user interfaces.
These Terms of Use govern your use of the Netflix service and you should read them carefully. The Netflix service is provided by Netflix, Inc., or one of its
affiliated companies. The Netflix company that is providing the service to you (referred to as “Netflix” in these Terms of Use) and with whom you are entering into
this agreement, depends on the country from which you sign up for the Netflix service.

Changes to Terms of Use
Netflix reserves the right, from time to time, with or without notice to you, to change these Terms of Use, including the Privacy Policy and EULA, in our sole and
absolute discretion. The most current version of these Terms of Use can be reviewed by visiting our website and clicking on "Terms of Use" located at the bottom
of the pages of the Netflix website. The most current version of the Terms of Use will supersede all previous versions. We will endeavor to post prior version(s)

Any personally identifying information submitted through the Netflix service is subject to our Privacy Policy, the terms of which are incorporated herein. Please
review our Privacy Policy to understand our practices. The date of any changes to our Privacy Policy will be noted at the bottom of the policy. By using our
service, you are consenting to receive certain communications from us. For example, Netflix may send you newsletters about new Netflix features, special offers,
promotional announcements and customer surveys via email or other methods. If you no longer want to receive the newsletters, other promotional
announcements or non-transactional communications, simply use your account name and password to access the "Manage mailing preferences" link on the
"Your Account" page and uncheck those items to unsubscribe or click on the unsubscribe link in our email communications. Please review our Privacy Policy for
further detail on our marketing communications. You can also find the unsubscribe instructions there.
By using the Netflix service, you consent to receiving electronic communications from Netflix. These communications will include notices about your account
(e.g., change in password or Payment Method, confirmation e-mails and other transactional information) and information concerning or related to our service.
These communications are part of your relationship with Netflix and you receive them as part of the Netflix membership. You agree that any notice, agreements,
disclosure or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be
in writing.
Membership and Billing
You can find the specific details regarding your membership with Netflix at anytime by visiting our website and clicking on the "Your Account" link.
Free Trials
Your Netflix membership may start with a free trial. The free trial period of your membership lasts for one month, or as otherwise specified during sign-up. Free
trials may not be combined with any other offers. You must have Internet access and a current valid accepted payment method as indicated during sign-up
("Payment Method"), to use our service. If you or another member of your household has been a Netflix member within the last 12 months, or if your Payment
Method, physical address or email address have been associated with a Netflix membership, or if you are streaming from a Netflix ready device that has been
previously activated on a different Netflix account, you are not eligible to receive a free trial.
We will begin billing your Payment Method for monthly membership fees at the end of the free trial period of your membership unless you cancel prior to the end
of the free trial period. To view the specific details of your membership, including monthly membership price and end date of your free trial period, visit our
website and click the "Membership Terms and Details" link on the "Your Account" page. Your Payment Method will be authorized for 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; however, no
charges will be made against the Payment Method unless you do not cancel prior to the end of your free trial period. You will not receive a notice from us that
your free trial period has ended or that the paying portion of your membership has begun. If YOU CANCEL PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR FREE TRIAL,
THERE WILL BE NO CHARGES TO YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. CLICK THE "YOUR ACCOUNT" LINK AT THE TOP OF ANY NETFLIX WEB PAGE FOR
CANCELLATION INSTRUCTIONS. We will continue to bill your Payment Method on a monthly basis for your membership fee until you cancel. You may cancel
your membership at anytime; however, there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.
We may offer a number of membership plans, including special promotional plans or memberships with different limitations. Some of these promotional
memberships are 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. We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our offered membership plans. Unless otherwise stated
differently, month or monthly refers to your billing cycle (See "Billing" below).
Billing
By starting your Netflix membership, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge you a monthly membership fee at the then current rate, and
any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Netflix service to the Payment Method you provided during registration (or to a different
Payment Method if you change your account information). Please note that prices and charges are subject to change with notice. As used in these Terms of Use,
"billing" shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method. The membership fee will be billed at the beginning of the paying
portion of your membership and each month thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. Visit our website and click on the "Membership Terms and
Details" link on the "Your Account" page to see the commencement date for your next renewal period. We automatically bill your Payment Method each month on
the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership. Membership charges are fully earned upon payment. In the event your
paying membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we bill your Payment Method on the last day of such month. For example, if you started your
Netflix membership or became a paying member on January 31st, your next payment date is February 28th and your Payment Method would be billed on that
date. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional
offers, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts. For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may
charge you a foreign transaction fee or related charges. Check with your bank and credit card issuers for details.
If you are eligible, and have signed up for a free trial, your Payment Method will be authorized for up to approximately one month of service during free trials;
however, no charges will be made against the Payment Method unless you do not cancel prior to the end of your free trial period. We may also periodically
authorize your card in anticipation of membership or related charges. Membership fees and charges are fully earned upon payment. PAYMENTS ARE
NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED PERIODS. 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. We may change the fees and charges in effect, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we
will give you advance notice of these changes by email. If you want to use a different Payment Method or if there is a change in Payment Method, such as your
credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method information by visiting our website and clicking on the "Your Account" link, available at
the top of the pages of the Netflix website. If your Payment Method reaches its expiration date and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel
your account (see, "Cancellation" below), you authorize us to continue billing that Payment Method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If
you signed up for Netflix using your iTunes account as your Payment Method and wish to cancel your Netflix membership at any time, including during your free
trial, you will need to do so by visiting your iTunes account and turning off auto-renew. You may also find billing information about your Netflix membership by
visiting your iTunes account.
Ongoing Membership
Your Netflix membership, which may start with a free trial portion, will continue month- to-month unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it.
You must cancel your membership before it renews each month in order to avoid billing of the next month's membership fees to your Payment Method. We will
bill the monthly membership fee to the Payment Method you provide to us during registration (or to a different Payment Method if you change your account
information). Membership fees are fully earned upon payment.

Cancellation
You may cancel your Netflix membership at any time. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-MONTH MEMBERSHIP PERIODS
OR UNWATCHED MOVIES OR TV SHOWS. To cancel, visit our website and click on "Cancel Membership" on the "Your Account" page and follow the
instructions for cancellation under the heading "Cancel Membership."
Right to Terminate
We reserve the right to terminate or restrict your use of our service, without notice, for any or no reason whatsoever.
How Our Streaming Service Works
Netflix is an online subscription service providing its members with access to movies & TV shows streaming over the Internet to Netflix ready devices. These
devices are manufactured and sold by entities other than Netflix. To see partners who offer Netflix ready devices you may use to access our service,
click here.
We reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to make changes from time to time and without notice in how we operate our service. Any description of
how our service works should not be considered a representation or obligation with respect to how the service will always work. We are constantly making
adjustments to our service and often these adjustments are not completely captured within these Terms of Use.
Availability. The availability of movies & TV shows to instantly watch will change from time to time, and from country to country. The quality of the display of the
streaming movies & TV shows may vary from computer to computer, and 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. Netflix streams a little bit of data as a buffer each time you start a movie or TV show.
Frequently starting and stopping movies & TV shows will result in a minor increase to the amount of data Netflix streams to you per hour. In most cases this will
be less than a few minutes worth. You are responsible for all Internet access charges. Please check with your Internet provider for information on possible
Internet data usage charges. Netflix makes no representations or warranties about the quality of your instant watching experience on your display. You may
change the video quality of your instant watching experience by going into the "Your Account" link on the website.
For certain membership plans in the United States with limited hours of instant watching, any unused instant watching time will not roll-over to your next period or
otherwise accumulate. If you reach your watch instantly limit while a selected movie or TV show is playing, you are able to complete that movie or TV show
provided that you continuously watch it to completion. The number of movies & TV shows you are able to watch instantly during each billing period depends on
the length of each movie or TV show you select and whether you watch them to completion. Any repeated instant watching of a movie or TV show, in whole or in
part, will count towards your total watch instantly time.
Start Time: The time it takes to begin watching a movie or TV show instantly will vary based on a number of factors, including your location, available bandwidth
at the time, the movie or TV show you have selected and the configuration of your Netflix ready device. For example, high-speed action scenes or special effects
at the opening of a movie or TV show may slightly delay its start time. In addition, you must be connected to the Internet throughout the watch instantly
experience.
Personal Computer Requirements and Device Limitations: To enjoy watching instantly via your personal computer, your equipment must satisfy certain system
requirements.
Click here to view the various system requirements. To see partners who offer Netflix ready devices you may use to access our service, click here.
YOU MAY INSTANTLY WATCH ON UP TO SIX UNIQUE AUTHORIZED NETFLIX READY DEVICES. YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO INSTANTLY WATCH
SIMULTANEOUSLY ON ONLY ONE SUCH DEVICE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. For certain membership plans in the United States, you may instantly watch
simultaneously on more than one Netflix ready device within your household.
Click here to view the number of devices on which you may simultaneously view
movies & TV shows that are associated with your plan. The number of devices and concurrent streams may change without notice to you. For certain limited
membership plans in the United States, your available Netflix ready device may be limited to personal computers.
Geographic Limitation: You may instantly watch a movie or TV show through the Netflix service only in geographic locations where we offer our service. The
content that may be available to watch will vary by geographic location. Netflix will use technologies to verify your geographic location.
Netflix streaming software: Netflix streaming software is developed by, or for, Netflix and is designed to enable instant streaming of content from Netflix through
Netflix ready devices. This software may vary by device and medium, and functionalities may also differ between devices. For example, this software may be
embedded in a Netflix ready device or we may offer this software to be downloaded onto a device such as the Apple iPad, or the software may also be available
on an optical media disc to be inserted into disc drives of certain devices. This software is licensed to you by Netflix pursuant to these Terms of Use and solely
for the purpose of using the Netflix service and for no other purpose whatsoever. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE,
INCLUDING ITS CONTINUING COMPATIBILITY WITH OUR SERVICE. Please refer to the Disclaimers of Warranties and Limitations of Liability set forth in
these Terms of Use. You may not copy or reproduce the software nor may you decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify or creative derivative works of
any of the software, or any portion thereof. Any unauthorized use of the software is strictly prohibited and Netflix reserves the right to not provide the software
(including updates) to you at any time and to discontinue the ability to access the Netflix service through such software at any time, without prior or any notice.
END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT: BY USING OUR SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE (1) TO THE NETFLIX SOFTWARE END USER
LICENSE AGREEMENT
FOUND HERE AS SUCH MAY BE AMENDED OR ADDED TO FROM TIME TO TIME AND (2) TO RECEIVE, WITHOUT FURTHER
NOTICE OR PROMPTING, UPDATED VERSIONS OF THE NETFLIX AND RELATED THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE
FOREGOING TERMS, DO NOT USE OUR SERVICE.
We do not warrant that any of the software used and or licensed in connection with our service will be compatible with other third party software nor do we
warrant that operation of our service and the associated software will not damage or disrupt other software or hardware. In addition, Netflix ready devices are
manufactured and sold by entities other than Netflix. A Netflix ready device is any electronics equipment that is authorized to decode and capable of decoding
movies & TV shows that are transmitted over the Internet by Netflix. These devices may include mobile devices, stand alone set-top boxes, Internet connected
Blu-ray DVD players, Internet-connected HDTVs, and game consoles. AS SUCH, WE DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR OTHERWISE WARRANT THE
PERFORMANCE OF THESE DEVICES, INCLUDING THE CONTINUING COMPATIBILITY OF THE DEVICE WITH OUR SERVICE. By using our service, you
agree to look solely to the entity that manufactured and/or sold you the device for any issues related to the device and its compatibility with the Netflix service.
Any issues related to our service, including any system requirements, are covered and limited by these Terms of Use. Please refer to the Disclaimers of
Warranties and Limitations of Liability set forth in these Terms of Use.

https://signup.netflix.com/TermsOfUse[04/20/2012 1:28:46 PM]
In response to requests from content providers, or due to technical limitations, or for any reason in our sole and absolute discretion, and without prior notice to
you, some or all movies &TV shows may not be watched, or may cease to be available for watching instantly, through our service on some Netflix ready devices.
Features & Functionality
Social Media
For members in certain countries, you can connect your Netflix account to Facebook. If you choose to connect, you'll be able to take advantage of various social
features we will be creating as part of the Netflix service, as well as features available on Facebook. These features will be designed to share information with
others - the essence of social media. For example, your friends and others who have access to view information about you on Facebook will be able to see (on
Facebook and on Netflix) that you're a Netflix member as well as what you've watched, rated, and other information about your use of the Netflix service. You'll
also be able to see similar information about your Facebook friends who are connected with Netflix. In addition, Netflix may personalize and otherwise enhance
your experience based on your Facebook information, such as your basic information, and "Likes." Please pay careful attention to your Facebook Connect
settings in "Your Account" as well as your Privacy Settings in Facebook which will impact this feature and may give you some control over the information that is
shared and who it is shared with. Also, please see our Privacy Policy to learn more about the scope, extent and uses of information we gather.
Please note that only one Facebook account can be connected to each Netflix account. All Netflix account activity will be posted automatically to the Facebook
account that is connected to Netflix unless you use the “don't share / unshare” feature currently available on most devices. You can hide a movie or TV show
during playback on most devices using the playback controls while instantly watching the movie or TV show. You can also "unshare" by visiting a movie or TV
show details page on the Netflix website. If you have authorized more than one member of your household to use your Netflix account, it is possible that their
Netflix activity may be posted to your Facebook account or be visible to your Facebook friends using the Netflix service.
While we hope that you find the Facebook Connect feature to be a great way to share information, including discovering new movies & TV shows,
you may
nonetheless disconnect your accounts at any time by clicking on the "Your Account" link, selecting the "Manage Facebook Connect" link (located in the
Preferences section) and then selecting "Disconnect." Facebook may also offer ways to manage the information you share with Netflix. See the Facebook
website for details.
BY CONNECTING YOUR NETFLIX ACCOUNT TO YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE CONSENTING TO
THE CONTINUOUS RELEASE OF INFORMATION ABOUT YOU TO OTHERS, INCLUDING TO FACEBOOK (IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR PRIVACY
SETTINGS ON FACEBOOK AND YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS ON NETFLIX). IF YOU DO NOT WANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU, INCLUDING
INFORMATION SUCH AS YOUR MOVIE & TV SHOW ACTIVITY, TO BE SHARED IN THIS MANNER, DO NOT USE THE FACEBOOK CONNECT FEATURE.
We and Facebook are continually making changes and improvements to this feature, and therefore the available features and information that is shared may
change from time to time. These changes may take place without notice to you and may not be described in these Terms of Use.
Member Reviews
We permit you to post reviews of movies & TV shows available through the Netflix service. We do not regularly review the content posted on the Netflix website;
however, we reserve the right to reject, remove or edit such content at anytime without notice. Reviews should not be posted that contain: harsh, profane or
discriminatory language; illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory or otherwise objectionable content; URLs, phone numbers, mailing or e-mail addresses,
personal attacks on the movie's or TV show's creative personnel; misleading information regarding the origin of the content; or a discussion of Netflix policies or
services. Please click on the "Reviews" link that appears on the Netflix website for a link to guidelines for writing and posting member reviews. You understand
and agree that we may, but are not obligated to, review the content and may delete or remove it (without notice) in our sole and absolute discretion, for any
reason or no reason. Please also see "Use of Information Submitted" below.
WHEN YOU HAVE SUBMITTED A REVIEW, WE WILL DISPLAY YOUR RATING OF MOVIES & TV SHOWS. BY SUBMITTING A REVIEW, YOU
UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE RELEASE OF ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED IN YOUR REVIEW, INCLUDING YOUR
RATING OF A MOVIE OR TV SHOW, TO A PUBLIC FORUM, INCLUDING OTHER MEMBERS OF, AND VISITORS TO, THE NETFLIX SERVICE. IF YOU DO
NOT WANT YOUR REVIEWS TO BE SHARED IN A PUBLIC FORUM, DO NOT USE THE REVIEW FEATURE.
If you no longer wish to have your reviews publicly posted, you may delete them by going into the "Your Account" link on the website and selecting "Reviews".
Use of the Reviews feature is for your personal, non-commercial use and is at your own option and risk. The Reviews feature may change without notice to you
and the degrees of associated information sharing and functionality may also change without notice.
Passwords
The member who created the Netflix account and whose Payment Method is charged is referred to here as the Account Owner. The Account Owner has access
and control over the Netflix account. The Account Owner's control is exercised through use of the Account Owner's password and therefore to maintain exclusive
control, the Account Owner should not reveal the password to anyone. In addition, if the Account Owner wishes to prohibit others from contacting Netflix
Customer Service and potentially altering the Account Owner's control, the Account Owner should not reveal the Payment Method details (e.g., last four digits of
their credit or debit card, or their email address if they use PayPal) associated with their account.
BY SHARING THE NETFLIX SERVICE PASSWORD, THE ACCOUNT OWNER AGREES TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSURING THAT HOUSEHOLD
MEMBERS COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF USE AND SUCH ACCOUNT OWNER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF THE HOUSEHOLD
MEMBERS.
Parental Controls
Account Owners who wish to limit the maturity level of movies &TV shows viewable by other household members (e.g. available for their children) can go to the
"Change parental control setting" link on the "Your Account" page of the website and set parental controls. If you have set a maturity restriction on your Netflix
ready device, that setting does not apply to the Netflix service. To limit the maturity level of movies &TV shows viewable from your Netflix account, you must set
the parental controls on the "Your Account" page. Please allow 24 hours for changes to the parental control setting to apply to your Netflix ready devices.
Please note however, the Netflix service is not intended to be used by children without involvement, supervision, and approval of a parent or legal guardian.
Therefore, if an Account Owner sets parental controls, the Account Owner should not reveal the account password to the child.
Setting a maturity restriction will block movies & TV shows with more mature ratings from streaming online, and will prohibit previews for the restricted movies &
TV shows from displaying, but the user will be presented with the title and title art of the movie, or TV show, and the synopsis that is provided. The restriction on

watching these titles can be overridden on a title-by-title basis when you access your account from your computer and enter the Account Owner's password after
clicking the ‘play' button associated with the desired movie or TV show. If you override the maturity restriction in this manner, you can watch a title with a more
mature rating. We reserve the right to modify, including removing, the parental controls feature at any time without notice.
Feeds
Members from certain countries may have access to RSS feeds as a convenient way to pass information about your Netflix account or that is publicly available
on the Netflix site to your RSS reader or an RSS-associated website of your choice. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It allows information to be
published in a standard XML format that can be accessed via a URL. Netflix may also choose, at any time, to provide feeds in other formats, such as Atom. All
use of the RSS and other feeds ("Feeds"), including obtaining a Feed from the Netflix website or receiving it into an application or website or displaying the
content received from such Feeds, is at your own option and risk, and is covered by the Terms of Use for the Netflix Feeds,
found here. By using the Netflix
Feeds, you agree to be bound by the Terms of Use for Netflix Feeds. In particular, you acknowledge and agree that you are consenting to the information about
your account being transferred to the location of the Feed as enabled by you and that your use of a Feed may cause personally identifying information to be
associated with you, even if such information is not provided by the Feed.
Applications
You may encounter third-party applications (including, without limitation, websites, widgets, software, or other software utilities) ("Application(s)") that interact with
the Netflix service. These Applications may import data related to your Netflix account and activity and otherwise gather data from you. These Applications are
provided solely as a convenience to you, and Netflix is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of such Applications. SUCH APPLICATIONS ARE
OWNED OR OPERATED BY THIRD PARTIES THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO, ASSOCIATED WITH OR SPONSORED BY NETFLIX AND MAY NOT BE
AUTHORIZED FOR USE WITH OUR SERVICE IN ALL COUNTRIES. Some of these Applications may even use Netflix trademarks. Unless otherwise noted by
Netflix on the Netflix website, Netflix is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of such Applications. You will need to make your own independent
judgment regarding your interaction with these Applications. If you choose, at your sole and absolute discretion and risk, to use an Application, such Application
may interact with, connect to or gather and/or pull information from and to your Netflix account. By using such Applications, you acknowledge and agree to the
following: (i) if you use an Application to share information relating to your Netflix account, you are consenting to the information about your account being
shared; (ii) your use of an Application may cause personally identifying information to be publicly disclosed and/or associated with you, even if Netflix has not
provided such information; and (iii) your USE OF AN APPLICATION IS AT YOUR OWN OPTION AND RISK, and you will hold Netflix harmless for the sharing of
information relating to your Netflix account that results from your use of an Application. You must read all log-in boxes and other pop-up boxes closely for
notices about sharing your Netflix account information with, through or by any other means identified on an Application. In addition, the Application's end user
license agreement, terms of use, and/or any other documentation or materials designated by the Application will govern your use of that Application. It is possible
that you may be able to revoke an Application's access to your Netflix account at any time, but information shared prior to revocation may continue to be
viewable within, or otherwise continue to be used by, the Application depending on the policies of such Application. If you have any questions, concerns,
complaints, or claims about the Applications, you should contact the support or contact personnel of the Application and not Netflix, unless otherwise indicated by
Netflix. NETFLIX DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF APPLICATIONS.
Account Access; Identity Protection
In order to provide you with ease of access to your account and to help administer the Netflix service, Netflix implements technology that enables us to
recognize you as the account holder and provide you with direct access to your account without requiring you to retype any password or other user identification
when you revisit the Netflix service. You are responsible for updating and maintaining the truth and accuracy of the information you provide to us relating to your
account.
You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your Netflix ready device. If you disclose
your password to anyone or share your account and/or devices with other people, you take full responsibility for their actions. Where possible, users of public or
shared devices should log out at the completion of each visit. If you sell or return a Netflix ready device, you should logout and/or deactivate the device before
doing so. Similarly, if your Netflix ready device is lost or stolen, please deactivate the Netflix ready device. If you fail to log out or deactivate your device,
subsequent users may access the Netflix service through your account and may be able to access certain of your account information. To deactivate a device,
go to
Manage Netflix ready devices and computers.
If you find that you're a victim of identity theft and it involves a Netflix account, you should notify Customer Service. Then, you should report this instance to all
your card issuers, as well as your local law enforcement agency. Also, you should be mindful of any communication requesting that you submit credit card or
other account information. Providing your information in response to these types of communications can result in identity theft. Always access your sensitive
account information by going directly to the Netflix website and not through a hyperlink in an email or any other electronic communication, even if it looks official.
Netflix reserves the right to place any account on hold anytime with or without notification to the member in order to protect itself and its partners from what it
believes to be fraudulent activity. Netflix is not obligated to credit or discount a membership for holds placed on the account by either a representative of Netflix or
by the automated processes of Netflix.

ANY OTHER FEATURES OR FUNCTIONALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE NETFLIX SERVICE, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITH ALL

foregoing, we and our licensors assume no liability or responsibility for any of the following: (i) errors or omissions in the content delivered by the Netflix service

any infringing material available through the Netflix service, please notify us by completing the claims form found

Governing Law
These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, U.S.A. without regard to conflict of laws
provisions. If any provision or provisions of these terms shall be held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the law of any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and shall remain in full force and effect.
Arbitration Agreement
You and Netflix agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Netflix service, including our website, user interfaces,
these Terms of Use and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more
informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to
very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the
U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Netflix are each 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 Netflix membership.
If you elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to Netflix, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim ("Notice"). The Notice to Netflix should be addressed
to: General Counsel, Netflix, Inc., 100 Winchester Circle, Los Gatos, CA 95032-1815 ("Notice Address"). If Netflix elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by
certified mail, a written Notice to the address used for your membership account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Netflix, must (a) describe the nature and
basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Netflix and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30
days after the Notice is received, you or Netflix may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. During the arbitration, the amount of
any settlement offer made by Netflix or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at
www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after Netflix receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly
reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration
Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified
by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879,
or by writing to the Notice Address. 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 Netflix and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish)
of your billing address. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably
convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules including the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator). 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 sufficient to explain the essential
findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Netflix’s last written settlement offer
made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Netflix did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Netflix will pay you the amount of the
award or US$1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the
AAA Rules.
YOU AND NETFLIX 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 Netflix 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. The arbitrator may award
declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's
individual claim.
DVD Plans in the United States
If you are a Netflix member in the United States on a DVD plan, the DVD Terms and Conditions also apply to your use of the Netflix service.
