The Subscription Application Form (“SAF”) and this Standard Terms and Conditions are collectively referred to as “the Agreement”. The Subscriber acknowledges and represents that he/she, or in case of an entity or corporation, its authorized representative, has read and understands the Agreement, is at least eighteen (18) years of age and competent to enter into the Agreement, has the authority to use the credit card(s) provided for billing and deposit purposes, agrees to be bound by the Agreement, and agrees that others in the Subscriber’s household, corporation or entity agree to be bound by the Agreement, as it may be amended by ABS-CBN from time to time, in its sole discretion.  The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that he/she has read and understood the terms and conditions of this Agreement and his/her acceptance on the online SAF and/or Subscriber’s use of the Service constitutes its acceptance to be bound by this Agreement. 
 
IPTV-TFC ONLINE BUNDLE.  Subscriber shall choose among the available IPTV packages on the online
SAF to enjoy watching programs via Internet protocol television (“IPTV”). Each IPTV Subscription Package has corresponding entitlements to access programs on www.tfc.tv (“TFC Online”) via activation codes which ABS-CBN will provide to successful new IPTV Subscribers. ABS-CBN shall provide Subscriber with the
IPTV and TFC Online subscription services (each a “Service”) in accordance with this Terms and Conditions.
 
To enable the Subscriber to receive the signals containing the audio-visual and/or radio programming services which is delivered via IPTV, ABS-CBN shall provide the Subscriber one or more Set Top Boxes (“STB(s)”), as ordered by Subscriber on SAF, which shall be installed as described herein. One STB is required for each screen receiving the IPTV Service.  The IPTV Service shall include scheduled and/or ondemand programming on one or more channels, as further set out in the Package description selected by the Subscriber on the SAF, for the applicable monthly charge (the “Monthly Subscription Fee”).  The Subscriber may also choose to receive pay-per-view movies, programs or content, other individual programs, or other products and services for amounts identified on the applicable rate schedule (the “Other Service Charges”). The Subscriber shall not purchase an STB or be charged the cost of the STB(s), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, but shall shoulder the cost for shipping, delivery, and installation (if applicable) of the STB indicated in the SAF, unless waived or reduced by ABS-CBN in its sole discretion or otherwise waived or reduced as specified in a specific promotion or offering by ABS-CBN.
 
Upon every successful IPTV subscription using the online SAF, Subscriber shall receive TFC Online activation code(s) in order to access programs on the TFC Online website (www.tfc.tv). Subscriber agrees that he/she will automatically be the primary account holder of the TFC Online entitlement for such IPTV subscription and that such primary account could not be transferred. The primary account may elect Supplementary Accounts (the number of which depends upon the chosen IPTV Subscription Package) and provide the corresponding activation codes to such user(s). Once an activation code is used to register on TFC Online, it shall no longer be transferrable. 
 
Subscriber agrees that the TFC Online access of the primary and supplementary accounts shall remain active as long as the IPTV Subscription Service remains active. Any and all supplementary accounts will be associated to and dependent upon the subscription of the primary account holder. It is understood, however, that use of other products or services on TFC Online such as, but not limited to pay-per-view movies, programs or content, shall be independent of Subscriber’s IPTV Subscription Service and shall be subject to the payment of Other Service Charges by the respective TFC Online registered user. 
 
THE SERVICE AND ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS", "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNITIES AND GUARANTEES WITH RESPECT TO THE CONTENT OR QUALITY OF THE SERVICE, GOODS OR PERSONNEL RESOURCES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW, CUSTOM, PRIOR ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS, OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT) ARE HEREBY OVERRIDDEN, EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF, AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT, THOSE WARRANTIES CANNOT BE LEGALLY EXCLUDED IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS. 
 
SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD; SUBSCRIPTION FEES. The minimum initial subscription period for new subscribers shall be one (1) year from date of the activation of the Set Top Box (“STB”) (“Initial Period”). The Subscriber may request the activation of the STB either through: (a) ABS-CBN’s Call Center; (b) ABSCBN’s automated interactive voice response system (IVR); or (c) Automatic Activation (as defined herein).  If not activated sooner, the STB shall be automatically activated on the eighth (8^th) calendar day from customer’s receipt thereof (an “Automatic Activation”). The activation date of the STB shall be the date when the Subscriber requests the STB to be activated through any of the means provided in (a), or (b) above, or the date of Automatic Activation, whichever comes first (“Activation Date”).  The Subscriber will also be charged the Activation Fee indicated in the SAF, unless waived or reduced by ABS-CBN in its sole discretion or otherwise waived or reduced as specified in a specific promotion or offering by ABS-CBN. 
 
During the Initial Period, (1) the monthly fee paid by the Subscriber (the “Monthly Subscription Fee”) and Other Service Charges (as described below) shall be fixed at the rate specified by ABS-CBN at the time the Subscriber completes the SAF and enters into the Agreement based on the number of STB(s) and Package(s) chosen by the Subscriber (the “Initial Package”); (2) the Subscriber may switch or change a channel to another channel within his/her chosen Package (“Switch”) by calling the Call Center, provided that the Initial Period is maintained; (3) the Subscriber may not change his/her chosen package to another Package with a lower Monthly Subscription Fee (“Downgrade”).  Switching becomes available at the 1st day of each month and can be triggered at any day within that month. The Subscriber can Switch only once in each month and such Switch will take effect within twenty-four (24) hours from the time the request is made.  
 
After the Initial Period, (a) the subscription shall continue on a month to month basis until terminated or cancelled as provided for in this Agreement, and (b) the Monthly Subscription Fee shall be subject to increase(s) from time to time at the discretion of ABS-CBN.  
 
Should the Subscriber fail to complete the Initial Period, or choose to terminate or cancel the subscription prior to the end of the Initial Period (except if the Subscriber cancels the subscription before the STB is activated or within 30 days from Activation Date), the Subscriber shall pay to ABS-CBN an Early Termination Fee as described below in the Other Fees schedule, in addition to forfeiting all deposits previously made. In this case, ABS-CBN reserves the right to require the Subscriber to return any STB(s) to ABS-CBN and will provide Subscriber with a return label, postage prepaid, to be used for this purpose. Any failure to or delay in return of the STB will require Subscriber to pay the STB Return Fee as described below in the Other Fees schedule.   
 
Should the Subscriber cancel the subscription prior to Activation Date or within thirty (30) days from Activation Date, the Subscriber shall, within thirty (30) days from cancellation of the subscription, return the STB(s) to ABS-CBN in the same working condition as when it was received from ABS-CBN, normal wear and tear excepted, and pay ABS-CBN the STB Restocking Fee, as described in the Other Fees schedule and, if applicable, the STB Return Fee, for each STB. ABS-CBN will refund prepayment, if any, to the Subscriber after deducting the STB Restocking Fee and/or the STB Return Fee(s), as applicable. If prepayment amount is less than the applicable Restocking Fee or STB Return Fee(s), the difference will be charged to the Subscriber. 
 
In addition to Monthly Service Fees and Other Service Charges, certain “Other Fees” may apply in particular circumstances.  The Subscriber shall be liable to pay such Other Fees upon receiving notice from ABS-CBN that ABS-CBN has, in its sole discretion, determined that the circumstances described below apply.  The amount of each Other Fee is subject to change annually: 
 

BILLING.  Billing Statements for charges relating to the Service (“Billing Statements”) will be generated on a monthly basis and issued to the Subscriber and will provide information including:  the Monthly Subscription Fee(s) reflecting the number of STBs at the Subscriber Premises and the program packages selected by the Subscriber; Other Service Charges; any applicable Other Fees, previous balance; and payments and credits within the period covered. . ABS-CBN reserves the right to change the timing of the billing if Payment has not been successfully settled. Subscribers are automatically enrolled to paperless billing and may access his/her Billing Statement online at www.tfc-usa.com/customerportal.  
 
Any questions or discrepancies regarding amounts on any Billing Statement must be reported to ABS-CBN within thirty (30) days from the date of the Billing Statement. Failure to contact us within this 30-day period will be deemed to constitute acceptance of the Billing Statement and the charges therein.  All currency amounts referred to in this Agreement are in US currency (“US$”). 
 
PAYMENT. Payments due from the Subscriber to ABS-CBN for the Service and for any other goods or services provided by ABS-CBN to the Subscriber, such as the Monthly Subscription Fees, Other Service Charges, and Other Fees, shall be made through Subscriber’s credit card or debit card or through Subscriber’s bank account upon enrollment to a direct debit facility, if available.
 
Upon subscription, the Subscriber shall enroll and designate a valid credit card or debit card with ABS-CBN by fillingin the required details on the online SAF. Subscriber agrees that the credit or debit card will be automatically charged for the Initial Payment, equivalent to one (1) month subscription fee, upon submission of the online SAF. Subscriber further agrees and authorize ABS-CBN to automatically charge the designated credit or debit card for all Payments due from the Subscriber for the Services and for any other goods or services provided by ABS-CBN, such as but not limited to Succeeding Monthly Subscription Fees, Other Services Charges, and Other Fees. Subscriber also agrees to keep the credit or debit card valid for the duration of the subscription. Subscriber authorizes ABS-CBN to present such charges to, and collect all Payments from the issuing, processing and clearing agents of Subscriber’s credit card account.  Subscriber also agrees that Subscriber be charged with bank charges and/or fees in relation to the transaction under this payment method. Upon enrollment to a direct debit facility, if available, Subscriber may also provide a valid and active checking account number and the routing number and authorizes ABS-CBN to debit on such account any required Payments due from the Subscriber for the Services and for any other goods or services provided by ABS-CBN, such as but not limited to Succeeding Monthly Subscription Fees, Other Services Charges, and Other Fees. Subscriber also agrees that Subscriber be charged with bank charges and/or fees in relation to the transaction under this payment method.  
 
Payments are NONREFUNDABLE.Should Subscriber opt to cancel the subscription, he/she may receive credits for partially used subscription period, if any, subject to application of charges or fees payable or due on the Subscriber’s account(s), such as the Early Termination Fee.t. The Early Termination Fee reflects the fact that ABS-CBN has waived certain charges and/or afforded the Subscriber a discount on the offer price of the Monthly Subscription Fee and Other Service Charges based on Subscriber’s agreement to remain a Subscriber of the Service for at least one (1) year.  
EVENT OF NON-PAYMENT.  In the event that any amount payable to ABS-CBN as an Initial Payment, a
Monthly Subscription Fee, Other Service Charges, Other Fee or any other charge or fee due from the Subscriber is not timely and fully paid or credited through the designated credit or debit card on or before Due Date (“an Event of Non-payment”), the Subscriber must immediately pay in full all amounts due to ABS-CBN.  ABS-CBN reserves the right to suspend or terminate the delivery of the Service to the Subscriber immediately upon such an Event of Non-payment.   
 
After an Event of Non-Payment, ABS-CBN may, at its sole discretion and in accordance with applicable law: (a) refer Subscriber’s unpaid account to a collection agency or a debt collector for the purpose of collecting overdue accounts; (b) report the matter to the appropriate credit rating agencies/bureaus, and/or (c) commence legal proceedings to collect the full amounts owed to ABS-CBN. 
 
In a situation where a Subscriber has multiple STBs, an Event of Non-Payment related to any of a Subscriber’s STBs (a Monthly Subscription Fee, Other Service Charges or any other charge or fee, including any STB Restocking Fee, STB Return Fee or Other Fee) shall be deemed to be an Event of NonPayment for the Subscriber’s account generally and ABS-CBN reserves its right to exercise its available remedies with respect to the overall account, including the other STBs. 
 
SET TOP BOX (“STB”). The STB shall be installed by the Subscriber following directions provided by ABSCBN, and shall be kept at the premises of the Subscriber as indicated by Subscriber in the SAF (the “Subscriber Premises”). The STB shall not be moved from the Subscriber Premises, nor used to receive any programming or other service, other than the Service, nor for any purpose not expressly permitted by the Agreement, without the prior written consent of ABS-CBN. The mere delivery or possession of the STB does not give Subscriber the right to receive the IPTV Service unless the STB is activated and Subscriber has paid and continues to pay the appropriate Monthly Subscription Fee and Other Service Charges as applicable. The STBs are and shall remain property of ABS-CBN during the term of this Agreement and after expiration or termination thereof.  
 
If the Subscriber cancels the subscription before activation of the STB, or within thirty (30) days from Activation Date, the Subscriber shall, within thirty (30) days from the date of cancellation of the subscription return the STB(s) to ABS-CBN in the same working condition as when it was received from ABS-CBN, normal wear and tear excepted, and pay STB Restocking Fee for each STB. For this purpose, ABS-CBN shall send the Subscriber a return label, postage prepaid, through which Subscriber shall return the STB to ABS-CBN. If the Subscriber fails or refuses to return the STB(s) within thirty (30) days from the date when the subscription is cancelled, the Subscriber will pay ABS-CBN the STB Return Fee for each unreturned STB(s).   
 
ABS-CBN reserves the right to require the Subscriber to return the STB to ABS-CBN in the same working condition as when it was received from ABS-CBN, normal wear and tear excepted, after the subscription or this Agreement is cancelled, terminated (whether by Subscriber or ABS-CBN, whether during or after the Initial Period) or expires.  If ABS-CBN requires the Subscriber to return the STB(s) hereunder and Subscriber fails or refuses to return the STB(s) within thirty (30) days from the date when the Agreement is cancelled, terminated or expires, the Subscriber will pay ABS-CBN the STB Return Fee for each unreturned STB(s). 
 
If the STB is or becomes defective, the Subscriber shall notify ABS-CBN promptly. ABS-CBN, at its sole option, will repair or replace the defective STB. It will be repaired or replaced free of charge, at the option of ABS-CBN, provided that it has been used in accordance with any operating instructions and guidelines distributed with the STB or as ABS-CBN may advise the Subscriber from time to time, and has not been mishandled or altered in any way or used for any purpose not expressly permitted by the Agreement. Costs of transporting the defective STB (if required to be returned by ABS-CBN) and the replacement STB to and from the Subscriber’s Address and the offices or authorized distributors of ABS-CBN shall be borne by the ABS-CBN. 
 
If the damaged or defective STB qualifies for replacement, the Subscriber may be required by ABS-CBN, at its sole option, to return the STB to ABS-CBN.  For the return of the STB, ABS-CBN shall send the Subscriber a return label, postage prepaid, through which Subscriber shall return the STB to ABS-CBN.  Costs of transporting the replacement STB to and from the offices of ABS-CBN shall be borne by ABSCBN.  If ABS-CBN requires the Subscriber to return the damaged or defective STB(s) hereunder and

The Subscriber shall at all times observe proper care and maintenance of the STB and shall ensure that the requirements for the STB’s use, storage and maintenance as provided in any operating instructions and guidelines distributed with the STB or as ABS-CBN may advise the Subscriber from time to time are properly complied with. The Subscriber shall not, under any circumstances, (a) alter, tamper with or disassemble the STB, reproduce or allow the reproduction of any of the technology included therein, or take any other action that would constitute piracy or any infringement of the intellectual property rights of ABS-CBN or any third party, or assist in piracy or any infringement of the intellectual property rights of ABS-CBN or any third party, (b) use the STB to receive any programming or other service, other than the Service, (c) use the STB for the unauthorized reception of the Service, or (d) use the STB for any purpose not expressly permitted by the Agreement.

If the Subscriber becomes aware of any unauthorized reception, transmission or exhibition by any person of the Service or any part thereof, the Subscriber shall immediately notify ABS-CBN and take all steps reasonably necessary (including all steps reasonably requested by ABSCBN) to prevent such unauthorized use or reproduction of the Service.

ABS-CBN also may suspend delivery of the Service at such times and for such periods where there is an Event of Non-Payment.
 
EFFECTS OF SUSPENSION. If the Subscriber’s access to the Service is suspended for any of the causes specified above, the Subscriber shall continue to be liable for payment of the Subscription Fee and ABSCBN shall not reinstate that access unless and until ABS-CBN determines, in its sole discretion, that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension have been resolved to its satisfaction. If ABS-CBN agrees to reinstate the Subscriber’s access to the Service, the fact that such access has been interrupted during the subscription period will not postpone the date on which the subscription period is due to expire. 
 
VOLUNTARY SUSPENSION OF SERVICE BY THE SUBSCRIBER. After the Initial Period, the Subscriber may voluntarily request suspension of the Service upon at least fifteen (15) days written notice to ABS-CBN prior to the intended date of suspension.

The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the rights of ABS-CBN are of a special, unique and extraordinary character that gives them a particular value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in any action at law, and that a breach of this Agreement by the Subscriber will cause ABS-CBN immediate and irreparable injury and damage. The Subscriber therefore expressly agrees that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the Agreement or any part thereof by the Subscriber, ABS-CBN shall, at its discretion, be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief against the Subscriber to end or prevent such breach and to secure enforcement of the Agreement. Resort to such equitable relief, however, shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights or remedies that ABS-CBN may have for damages or other relief. In any action brought by ABS-CBN to enforce its rights under the Agreement in which ABS-CBN substantially prevails, ABS-CBN shall be entitled to recover its costs of bringing such action, including reasonable attorney’s fees.
 
WAIVERS. No course of dealing between the parties or delay or omission on the part of either party in exercising any rights under the Agreement, or under applicable law, shall operate as a waiver of any such rights. A waiver by any party in any instance shall not constitute a waiver in any other instance. All remedies and rights hereunder or under applicable law shall be cumulative, and none of them shall be in limitation of any other remedy or right of either party. No waiver, amendment or modification of the Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver, amendment or modification is sought to be enforced. 
 
GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of California (but excluding its choice of law provisions) and the federal laws of The United States applicable therein. The parties hereto agree to submit to the jurisdiction of courts in the state of California. 
 
COMPLETE AGREEMENT/SEVERABILITY. The Agreement, as comprised of Subscription Application Form, this Agreement and its Terms and Conditions, constitute the complete and entire statement of all terms, conditions and representations of the agreement between the Subscriber and ABS-CBN with respect to its subject matter and supersede all prior writings or understandings. The Subscriber agrees that the terms of the Agreement, and the operating procedures and guidelines for the Service, may be amended by ABS-CBN from time to time by ABS-CBN delivering to the Subscriber via email notice of any such amendment, and that the Subscriber’s sole remedy, in the event of disagreement with any such change, is to terminate the Service pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement. 
 
Each provision of the Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or part of a provision of the Agreement shall be held to be invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of the Agreement, and the remaining provision(s) shall be construed so as to most fully enforce the original intent of the parties. 
 
ABS-CBN RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR AMEND THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT FROM TIME TO TIME AS NECESSARY.  WE WILL NOTIFY OUR SUBSCRIBERS THAT THE TERMS OF OUR SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT HAVE CHANGED.  UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, ALL CHANGES WILL BE EFFECTIVE THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER OUR NOTIFICATION OF THE CHANGE
OF OUR TERMS THROUGH THE STB, OUR WEBSITE, OR VIA E-MAIL OR MAIL.  YOUR CONTINUED USE OF OUR SERVICE FOLLOWING NOTIFICATION OF THESE CHANGES WILL MEAN YOU ACCEPT THOSE CHANGES.

A minimum speed of 2 Mbps is required for the Service to run efficiently. While ABS-CBN tries to ensure uninterrupted Service to all of its customers, video buffering may be experienced depending on the Subscriber’s broadband provider’s network especially during peak hours when the high volume of users often results in slower internet connection.  Please call our Technical Support Hotline at 1-888-216-1671 or email technicalsupportUS@abs-cbn.com if you have any issues.
