You must meet any age, geographic or other eligibility requirements specified at each site to subscribe to a magazine, publication or service that we offer, to order anything online, to participate in certain contests, games or sweepstakes, or to access or participate in certain services at or areas of our sites. By registering at those sites, or for those features or services, you represent that you comply with applicable restrictions. E-commerce areas may include additional restrictions on purchases, return policies, delivery schedules, and the like, depending on individual site and vendor policies.

7. Online Shopping

Some MOTONEWS sites also offer e-commerce opportunities. Different sites may offer different options for visitors to purchase products or services either from us or from a third party (see Section 9 below concerning Third Party Sites). We do not guarantee that you will be satisfied with products or services purchased from us. We do not design, make, or manufacture products sold online, and only sells, distributes or ships products from its own online stores. Quantities of some items may be limited, and delivery may not be available in your area. All orders are subject to prior sale. Neither we nor our vendors guarantee that all orders will be filled.

8. Payments; Billing; Subscriptions

(a) Subscriptions and other services requiring payment generally require use of a valid credit card. We and our business partners reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to establish other acceptable alternative payment methods for specific services or products. You are solely responsible for charges owed for all goods and services purchased through this site, including, but not limited to, applicable taxes, shipping charges, insurance, and any other costs.

(b) You are responsible for any costs you incur to access the internet.

(c) While we may offer Content from time to time for free, we charge a fee to access certain services that require a subscription in order to offer Content that we would not otherwise be able to make available without charging a fee.

You can find the specific details regarding your subscription at any time by logging in on the applicable website and clicking on Account under your name. You agree that your subscription is for individual use only and your subscription is limited to only one simultaneous stream at a time.

Because the service is offered in multiple time zones, for consistency, a “day” for purposes of these TOU begins at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time and ends at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time of that same calendar day.

(d) Billing. By providing a credit card or other payment method accepted by us (“Payment Method”) for your subscription, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge you a subscription fee, any other fees for additional services you may purchase, and any applicable taxes in connection with your use of your subscription to the Payment Method. If you want to use a different Payment Method than the one you signed up to use during registration, or if there is a change in your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method information by logging in on the MOTONEWS website and clicking on Account under your name. When you provide a Payment Method to access a subscription, including in connection with a free trial offer (if applicable), our system will attempt to verify the information you entered. We do this by processing an authorization hold, which is a standard practice. We do not charge you in connection with this authorization hold. If your Payment Method expires and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account, you authorize us to continue billing, and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

As used in these TOU, “billing” shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method. The subscription fee will be billed at the beginning of your subscription or expiration of your free trial period, if any, whichever is earlier, and on each renewal date thereafter (monthly or annually as applicable) unless and until you cancel your subscription or the account or service is otherwise suspended or discontinued pursuant to these TOU. To see the commencement date for your next renewal period, log in on the applicable MOTONEWS website and click on Account under your name.

We automatically bill your Payment Method each month or year (depending on the subscription) on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your subscription. As in the case with monthly subscriptions, in the event your subscription 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 became a paying subscriber on January 31, your Payment Method would next be billed on February 28. If you change your Payment Method, this could result in changing the calendar day upon which you are billed. You acknowledge that the amount billed each monthly or annual period may vary due to promotional offers, changes in your subscription, and changes in applicable taxes, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for the corresponding amounts. If we change the subscription fee or other charges for your subscription, we will give you advance notice of these changes by email. However, we will not be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes.

Very rarely, if there are special circumstances where we determine it is appropriate (e.g., your subscription Service is unavailable for days due to technical difficulties), we may provide credits to affected subscribers. The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion, and the provision of credits in one instance does not entitle anyone to credits in the future under similar or different circumstances.

(e) Ongoing Subscription and Cancellation. Your subscription will continue in effect on a month-to-month or annual basis (depending on subscription selected) unless and until you cancel your subscription or the account or Service is otherwise suspended or discontinued pursuant to these TOU. You must cancel your subscription at least twenty-four hours before your monthly or annual renewal date in order to avoid the next billing period. We will bill the monthly or annual subscription fee plus any applicable taxes to the Payment Method you provide to us during registration (or to a different Payment Method if you change your account information). If you cancel your subscription, cancellation will be effective at the end of the current monthly period or annual period – this means that you will have continued access to your subscription for the remainder of that period, but you will not receive a refund. You can cancel your subscription by logging into your Account either on a MOTONEWS website or the third party website hosting your Account and subscription (as applicable, i.e. MT-VOD, iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Prime, etc.) and clicking “Cancel Subscription” or any other similarly identifiable selection to effectively cancel the subscription.

(f) Unpaid Amounts. It is important that each subscriber honor the payment obligations to which the subscriber agreed. Accordingly, we reserve the right to pursue any amounts you fail to pay in connection with your subscription. You will remain liable for all such amounts and all costs incurred in connection with the collection of these amounts, including, without limitation, bank overdraft fees, collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and arbitration or court costs.

(g) Price Changes. Wemay change the price of subscription-based services from time to time. Any price changes will apply to you no earlier than 30 days following notice to you. We will let you know the date on which any price change is due to come into effect. If you have purchased a MOTONEWS subscription through one of our third party partners, price changes will be subject to that third party’s terms and conditions.

If we notify you of a price change and you do not want to continue your MOTONEWS subscription at the new subscription price, you can cancel your subscription either: (i) before the start of the next subscription period by following the “cancellation” steps below; or (ii) at any time before the price change becomes effective by providing us with notice via the help center.

We will always try to make sure the price of your MOTONEWS subscription will not change until the start of your next subscription period. If a price change is going to come into effect during your current subscription period, you can cancel your subscription before the price change comes into effect and we will provide you with a refund for amounts you have paid for but not yet received.

(h) Free Trials. On occasion, we may be authorized to offer free trials to a subscription for certain qualifying users. If we offer you a free trial, the specific terms of your free trial will be stated in the material describing the particular free trial. We are unable to accommodate combining free trials with any other offers. To view the specific details regarding your free trial, if any, log in on the appropriate MOTONEWS website and click on Account under your name.

Once your free trial period ends, we will begin billing your Payment Method for the subscription fees corresponding to your subscription (plus any applicable taxes), unless you cancel prior to the end of your free trial. For that reason, unless otherwise indicated in the free trial description, you may be asked to set up a valid Payment Method when redeeming a free trial offer.

It is very important to understand that you will not receive a notice from us that your free trial has ended or that your paying subscription has begun. If you wish to avoid charges to your Payment Method, you must cancel your subscription prior to midnight Eastern Time on the last day of your free trial period. You can cancel your subscription by logging into your MOTONEWS Account and clicking “Cancel Subscription.” We will continue to bill your Payment Method for your subscription until you cancel or the account or applicable service is otherwise suspended or discontinued pursuant to these TOU. You may cancel your subscription at any time as described in the Subscription and Cancellation section of these TOU. To the extent subscriptions are offered in conjunction with purchases of, or payment for, third party products or services, you agree that we will not be liable to you for any claims arising out of or related to your purchase or use of such third party products or services.

You and Discovery agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section can only be amended by mutual agreement.

We believe that arbitration is a faster, more convenient and less expensive way to resolve any disputes or disagreements that you may have with us. Therefore, pursuant to this Visitor Agreement, if you have any dispute or disagreement with us regarding (i) your use of or interaction with Discovery+, (ii) any purchases or other transactions or relationships with Discovery, or (iii) any data or information you may provide to Discovery or that Discovery may gather in connection with such use, interaction or transaction (collectively, “Discovery Transactions or Relationships”), you will not have the right to pursue a claim in court, or have a jury decide the claim and you will not have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in arbitration. By using or interacting with MOTONEWS, or engaging in any other Discovery Transactions or Relationships with us, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below.

We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. If those efforts fail, by using MOTONEWS, you agree that any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against Discovery, and any claim that Discovery may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms of Use, our Privacy Notice, or any Discovery Transactions or Relationships shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000.00, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is no longer in existence, the Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the “AAA”) instead, and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the “Applicable Rules” in such circumstances). If JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) at the time the arbitration is filed has Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness for Consumer Arbitrations in effect which would be applicable to the matter in dispute, Discovery agrees to provide the benefit of such Minimum Standards to you to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth in this Section, provided, however, that in no event may such Minimum Standards contravene or restrict the application of the Sections below entitled “No Class Relief” and “Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause.”. Furthermore, this Section shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

You further agree that:

Arbitrator Will Interpret This Agreement. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Use and/or these arbitration provisions in this Section hereof, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use is void or voidable;

Location of Arbitration. The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location determined by JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) pursuant to the Applicable Rules (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you and does not require travel in excess of 100 miles from your home or place of business); or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and Discovery; or (iii) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000.00 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission;

Governing Law. The Arbitrator (i) shall apply internal laws of the State of New York consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the U.S., irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii) shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with New York or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (iii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) shall have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief;

No Class Relief. The Arbitration can resolve only your and/or Discovery’s individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated;

Written Award. The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets;

Arbitration Costs. In the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of Arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Discovery will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the Arbitration as the Arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive, regardless of the outcome of the Arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith;

Reasonable Attorney’s Fees. In the event you recover an Award greater than Discovery’s last written settlement offer, the Arbitrator shall also have the right to include in the Award Discovery’s reimbursement of your reasonable and actual out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees associated with the Arbitration, but Discovery shall in all events bear its own attorneys’ fees;

Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause. With the exception of “No Class Relief” above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, “No Class Relief” is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Discovery shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute, and must instead bring any claims in a court of competent jurisdiction;

Modification of Arbitration Clause With Notice. Discovery may modify these arbitration provisions, but such modifications shall only become effective thirty (30) days after Discovery has given notice of such modifications and only on a prospective basis for claims arising from Discovery Transactions and Relationships occurring after the effective date of such notification; and

Small Claims Matters are Excluded. No Class Relief or Joinder of Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, at your option, you may bring any claim you have against Discovery in your local small claims court within the U.S., if your claim is within such court’s jurisdictional limit; provided that such court does not have the authority to entertain any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated in such proceeding.
