Terms

Welcome to www.digitaltheatre.com (the “Website”).

If you are an educational user, you must not use this Website, as our content licences don't allow viewing in schools or universities. Instead, please go to our sister organisation www.digitaltheatreplus.com, where you'll find a service tailored to your needs.

The Parties. In these Terms of Use (referred to herein as “Terms”), “Digital Theatre”, “we”, “us” and “our” refers to DigitalTheatre.com Limited operating in the UK and registered in England and Wales under company number 06570330, and all companies which are for the time being either a holding company, subsidiary or affiliate. The terms “subscriber”, “you” or “your” refer to you as an individual visitor or subscriber to our Website and other online services.

The Service. The term “Service” refers to our online video streaming service, offering subscribers the opportunity to view a selection of films, documentaries and other content (collectively, the “Content”), and includes our platform for viewing the Content (the “Platform”) as well as any other products, features, tools, materials, or other services offered from time to time through the Website, and/or applications, including where we make our applications available on third party platforms or services.

Excluded Service. We provide a separate service to educational institutions through our website https://www.digitaltheatreplus.com. This service is governed by independent licence agreements. The Services governed by these Terms are for personal and private use only and are not licenced for educational use.

Rental Service. When you rent Content (“Rented Content”), you may view such Rented Content an unlimited number of times for a period of forty-eight (48) hours from the time of purchase as noted in your confirmation email (“Viewing Period”). Pausing, stopping, or rewinding the Rented Content will not extend your Viewing Period. You may only watch Rented Content on one device at a time (either online or offline). To watch or download Rented Content on another device, you must remove it from the first device. Please note, your contract for the purchase and use of the Rented Content is completed when the Rented Content is made available to you, and you will be charged for the purchase at that time. You can cancel your purchase at any time up to the point at which the Rented Content becomes available to you. We will need to cancel your order if the Rented Content is withdrawn from our Service before it is made available to you, in which case, we shall promptly refund you any amounts paid by you.

Live Theatre Service. Digital Theatre may offer you the chance to view live theatre on a one-time pay per view basis (“Live Theatre Service”). You will be charged at the time of purchase for the Live Theatre Service.

Acceptance. Please read these Terms carefully. Your use of the Service is subject to these Terms. By using the Service, you signify your acceptance of these Terms. In clicking on the “Subscribe” button, or any button with similar functionality, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with us to purchase the Services. You may not use the Service if you do not accept these Terms.

Privacy Policy. We process information about you in accordance with our Privacy Policy. These Terms incorporate our Privacy Policy. By using our Services, and agreeing to these Terms, you consent to such processing and you warrant that all data provided by you is accurate.

Term. These Terms will become effective and binding when you voluntarily provide any information about yourself to us, register with us and/or use the Services. Your subscription will continue until cancelled in accordance with these Terms (see the “Cancellation” section).

Free Trials. On occasion, we may offer free trials. The duration of your free trial will be specified during registration. We reserve the right to determine eligibility for free trials, and we may limit eligibility or duration to prevent free trial abuse. We also reserve the right to revoke the free trial and put your account on hold if we determine that you are not eligible. Promotional offers and free trials cannot be combined. You will not receive a notice from us that your free trial has ended and that payment for your subscription is due. If you wish to avoid charges to your Payment Method, you must cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial period. You can cancel your subscription at any time (see the “Cancellation” section).

Billing. We charge a fee to access the Service which is inclusive of any applicable VAT or other taxes. The first payment is taken on the day you register, or if you have a free trial or other promotional offer, on the day your free trial or promotional offer period expires. Your “Billing Period” is the interval of time between each recurring billing date (for example, one month). You acknowledge that the timing of when you are billed and the amount you are billed each Billing Period may vary if the day your subscription began does not exist in the relevant month (for example, if you became a paying subscriber on 31 January, your Payment Method would next be billed on 28 February, 31 March, 30 April and so on), due to free trials, other promotional offers or changes in your subscription or Payment Method.

Automatic Renewal. Your subscription will continue and automatically renew on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your subscription unless and until you cancel your subscription, or your account is otherwise suspended or terminated pursuant to these Terms. You can cancel your subscription at any time (see the “Cancellation” section).

Price Variations. We reserve the right to change the terms of your subscription, including price, from time to time, effective as of the beginning of your next Billing Period following the date of the change. We may also add, delete, or change some or all of the Service provided for free at any time. You will be notified of any such changes and given the option to continue to use or to terminate your account. You will be responsible for all charges for using these additional services if you choose to continue use.

Payment Method. Unless otherwise indicated, you will be required to provide a current, valid, accepted method of payment as may be updated from time to time (“Payment Method”). Unless you cancel your subscription before your billing date, you authorise us to charge your Payment Method a subscription fee for the next Billing Period, and any applicable taxes. You are solely responsible for any and all fees charged to your Payment Method. If you want to use a different Payment Method than the one you provided during registration, you may edit your Payment Method by logging into your account and selecting “Billing Details”.

Failed Payment. In the event of a failed attempt to charge your Payment Method (for example, if your Payment Method has expired), we reserve the right to retry billing your Payment Method. We may suspend or cancel your access to the Service if we remain unable to successfully charge a valid Payment Method. We also reserve the right to pursue any amounts you fail to pay in connection with your subscription including collection costs, bank overdraft fees, collection agency fees, reasonable legal fees and arbitration or court costs.

Subscriber Cancellation. You can cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your account and selecting “Billing Details” and then “Cancel Subscription”. You will continue to have access to the Service through the end of your current Billing Period. Payments are non-refundable. We do not provide refunds for any partial Billing Periods or unwatched Content. If you cancel your subscription your account will automatically close at the end of your Billing Period. If you cancel your subscription before the expiry of your free trial, you will not be charged.

Digital Theatre Gift Subscription

Terms and Conditions 

By purchasing or redeeming a Digital Theatre gift subscription, you agree to these terms and conditions (the “Gift Terms”).

Unless capitalised herein, all defined terms shall have the same meaning as those set forth in our Terms of Use.

Digital Theatre. Gift subscriptions are issued by Digital Theatre.com Limited operating in the UK and registered in England and Wales under company number 06570330. 

Purchase. Digital Theatre gift subscriptions, constitute a prepaid credit towards eligible services offered by us, which can be purchased online by visiting our Gift subscriptions webpage and selecting the offer. Gift subscriptions may be offered in various denominations (for example, six (6) months or twelve (12) months). Please note that after a gift subscription is purchased, its value cannot be increased. Gift subscriptions are valid worldwide.

Eligible Services. A Redeemer will receive an account credit equal to the value of the gift subscription. Unless otherwise specified, the credit may be applied only toward access to https://www.digitaltheatre.com and eligible services (the “Eligible Services”). Eligible Services currently exclude Rental Services, Live/As-Live Event Theatre Services and our service for educational institutions accessed through our website Digital Theatre Plus. Eligible Services are subject to change at our sole discretion. In the event a Redeemer chooses to purchase a service other than the Eligible Services, a credit card or other payment method accepted by us (a “Payment Method”) will be required to complete the account creation.

Delivery. The redeemer of a gift subscription (the “Redeemer”) must be eighteen (18) years of age or older and create a new Digital Theatre account using a valid email address. We will contact the Redeemer using the email address associated with the account to deliver the redemption code and the redemption instructions. You agree that the gift subscription will be sent to the Redeemer at the email address you provided, and you represent and warrant that such contact information is accurate, up to date and does not infringe any third-party rights.

Redemption. Gift subscriptions can be redeemed by following the redemption instructions in the Redeemer’s email.

Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Your use of the Eligible Services is subject to the compliance with our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.  By accessing or using the Eligible Services you accept and agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, incorporated by reference.  

Payment. The Redeemers account will be debited the price of the Eligible Services in addition to any applicable taxes and fees starting on the day the gift subscription is redeemed. If the gift subscription is insufficient to cover the cost of the full subscription billing term, the Redeemer will receive access to the Eligible Services for as long as the gift subscription balance lasts. At that point, the Redeemer’s access to the Eligible Service will be terminated. For whatever reason, if the gift subscription is more than sufficient to cover the cost of the full subscription billing term, the Redeemer will receive a credit to their account. This credit (only) can be used as part payment of a new subscription or towards a service other than the Eligible Services (for example, Rental Services or Live/As-Live Event Theatre Services). 

New Subscription. A Redeemer does not need to take any action to end a gift subscription. We will contact the Redeemer using the email address associated with the account to give notice of the expiry of the gift subscription. If the Redeemer wishes to continue to access the Eligible Services following expiry of the gift subscription, the Redeemer will be required to purchase a new subscription using an acceptable Payment Method. 

Non-refundable and Non-transferable. Gift subscriptions are non-refundable or redeemable for cash, either prior or after redemption, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Gift subscription redemption codes are for one-time use only, and may be given by you to, and redeemed by, only one Redeemer. Once a gift subscription is redeemed, the Redeemer may not transfer or assign access to the Eligible Services to another person or another account.

Re-sale. Gift subscriptions cannot be resold. Any redemption code that has been resold is subject to invalidations at our discretion. 

Expiration. Unless otherwise specified, a gift subscription must be redeemed within twelve (12) months. However, once a gift subscription has been redeemed, it shall only continue for the period of time specified in the Redeemer’s email (for example, six (6) months or twelve (12) months). No inactivity or service fees apply to any gift subscription.

Risk of Loss. Please keep your gift subscription and redemption code in a safe location. Upon our electronic transmission of the gift subscription to you or your designated recipient, the risk of loss and title for your gift subscription passes to you. We are not responsible for lost or stolen gift subscriptions or redemption codes.

Fraudulently obtained subscriptions. Any gift subscription that we believe in our sole discretion has been purchased or obtained fraudulently or through illegal means will be subject to invalidation without refund. 

Withdrawal rights. You have the right to change your mind and withdraw from your purchase for a gift subscription within fourteen (14) days after the day that we email you confirming your acceptance of your order. However, once we have delivered the gift subscription to your selected Redeemer, you cannot change your mind and withdraw your purchase, even if the fourteen (14) day period is still running. For a valid withdrawal, we will refund you the price you paid for the gift subscription, by the method you used for payment, and within fourteen (14) days of you informing us that you have changed your mind. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must notify us by email to: consumer.support@digitaltheatre.com with a clear statement of your decision to withdraw from your purchase.

Limited Liability. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DIGITAL THEATRE DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO YOUR GIFT SUBSCRIPTION. IN NO EVENT SHALL DIGITAL THEATRE OR ITS AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE INVESTORS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND SUPPLIERS (INCLUDING DISTRIBUTORS AND CONTENT PROGRAMMERS), BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR PURCHASE OR USE OF A GIFT SUBSCRIPTION. IF YOU RESIDE IN THE US, CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Governing Law. The laws of England and Wales, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, shall govern these Gift Terms and the Redeemers use of the gift subscription. 

Changes. We reserve the right to amend, modify or waive these Gift Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. 

Contact Us. If you have any questions about your gift subscription, please open a support ticket at: https://digitaltheatreconsumer.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new
