1. iOn Sport Terms of Use - Introduction
iOn Sport provides a subscription and pay-per-view service that allows registered users to purchase and watch video content ("iOn Sport content") streamed over the Internet to certain Internet-connected computers, mobile devices with the iOn Sport apps, certain TVs, and other devices ("iOn Sport ready devices").
The iOn Sport service is provided to you by iOn Sport Pty Ltd (ABN 96 147 916 354), an Australian company. These Terms of Use govern your use of our service. As used in these Terms of Use, "iOn Sport service", "our service" or "the service" means the service provided by iOn Sport for discovering and watching iOn Sport content, including all features and functionalities, recommendations and reviews, the website, and user interfaces, as well as all content and software associated with our service.
2. Purchases
2.1. Subscription Depending on your chosen option, your subscription over a time period will entitle you to watch certain iOn Sport content or provide you with a number of credits that can be used to purchase iOn Sport content. To use the iOn Sport service you must have Internet access and a iOn Sport ready device, and provide a current, valid, accepted method of payment, which you may update from time to time ("Payment Method"). Payment will be charged to your Credit Card or your iTunes Account or your Google Pay account depending on which platform you made the purchase upon confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal. Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase. Unless you cancel your subscription before your periodical billing date, you authorise us to charge your next period's subscription fee to your Payment Method (see "Cancellation" below). Any unused credits you accumulate will roll-over to the following period. Your subscription will be automatically renewed every period, until you choose to unsubscribe or cancel your subscription. Your subscription entitles you to content uploaded during the current competition's season. The previous year's content may expire at the start of the following year. You can find specific details regarding your iOn Sport subscription by visiting our website and clicking on the "My Purchases" link available at the top of the pages of the iOn Sport website under your profile name.
2.2. Pay per view Registered users are provided with an option to purchase iOn Sport content. Content may be priced individually or as part of a bundle. Once purchased, you will be able to stream the purchased iOn Sport content to your iOn Sport ready devices. You will be able to re-watch this content for a limited period of time, not exceeding one year.
2.3. Pre-Registrations A pre-registration purchase will entitle you to watch certain iOn Sport content or provide you with a number of credits that can be used to purchase iOn Sport content. Depending on your chosen option, a pre-registration may cover all members of a team, or yourself as an individual. A pre-registration purchase may also entitle you to future video coverage. In the event that the video capture service does not proceed, a full refund of the pre-registration payment will be made. You will be able to stream the purchased iOn Sport content to your iOn Sport ready devices. You will be able to re-watch this content for a limited period of time, not exceeding one year.
3. Free Trials
3.1. Your iOn Sport subscription may start with a free trial. The free trial period of your subscription lasts for a fixed period as specified during sign-up and is intended to allow new subscribers and certain former subscribers to try the service.
3.2. Free trial eligibility is determined by iOn Sport at its sole discretion and we may limit eligibility to prevent free trial abuse. We reserve the right to revoke the free trial and put your account on hold in the event that we determine that you are not eligible. Members of households with an existing or recent iOn Sport subscription are not eligible. We may use information such as device ID, method of payment or an account email address used with an existing or recent iOn Sport subscription to determine eligibility. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply.
3.3. We will charge your Payment Method for your subscription fee at the end of the free trial period unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial period. To view the periodical subscription price and end date of your free trial period, visit our website and attempt to purchase content.
4. Billing
4.1. Billing Cycle. The subscription fee for the iOn Sport service and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the service, such as taxes and possible transaction fees, will be charged on a periodical basis to your Payment Method on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of the paying portion of your subscription. In some cases your payment date may change, for example if your Payment Method has not successfully settled or if your paid subscription began on a day not contained in a given period. Visit our website and click on the "My Purchases" link on the "Account" page to see your next payment date.
4.2. Payment Methods. You can change your Payment Method by visiting the "My Purchases" link on the "Account" page. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not change your Payment Method or cancel your account, we may suspend your access to the service until we have obtained a valid Payment Method. When you update your Payment Method, you authorize us to continue charging the updated Payment Method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. This may result in a change to your payment dates. For some Payment Methods, the issuer may charge you certain fees, such as foreign transaction fees or other fees relating to the processing of your Payment Method. Local tax charges may vary depending on the Payment Method used. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.
4.3. Cancellation. You can cancel your iOn Sport subscription at any time, and you will continue to have access to the iOn Sport service through the end of your periodical billing period. To the extent permitted by the applicable law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for any partial-period subscription periods or unwatched iOn Sport content. To cancel, visit the "My Purchases" link on the "Account" page. The "Status" column indicates the end of your periodical billing period and current renewal setting. Clicking on the "Status" of your subscription will allow you to control the automatic renewal. If "Auto Renew" is disabled, your subscription has been cancelled. If you signed up for iOn Sport using your account with a third party as a Payment Method and wish to cancel your iOn Sport subscription, you may need to do so through such third party, for example by visiting your account with the applicable third party and turning off auto-renew, or unsubscribing from the iOn Sport service through that third party. You may also find billing information about your iOn Sport subscription by visiting your account with the applicable third party.
