As with all transactions, you may print and retain a copy of your confirmation for your reference. You may request instead to receive a hard copy via regular mail.
By creating your Account, you are agreeing to pay for all transactions made through your Account, including recurring charges for subscriptions that are not cancelled prior to their automatically renewing, and authorizing us to charge your payment method for these transactions. Unless we are required by law or you do not agree to this Agreement, we will not provide a refund or credit for any reason, including without limitation, for any period remaining in your subscription after you cancel your subscription. The price applicable to your transaction will be the price that was in effect at the time of the transaction. Special products, prices and promotions are no longer valid once they expire or are changed.
Prices listed do not include sales tax. Applicable sales tax will be calculated and added at the time you complete a transaction.
Subscriptions are for the term described at the time you subscribe and renew automatically unless you cancel by contacting us through philo.com/contact to request a cancellation or by signing in to your Account page, and following the cancellation instructions.

Video Content and Video Streams
Video Content on our Services may be viewed only through your Account and cannot be transferred outside of your Account. Each Account can view up to a maximum of three video streams concurrently. Certain variables are out of our control, including, among others, availability of Video Content from our third party providers, the speed of your broadband or network connection, compatibility between the Video Content's format and the device you use to access it, and any restrictions that may be imposed on the Video Content by our third party providers, and these variables may cause delays, technical difficulties, or an inability to view the Video Content. Digital versions of some Video Content may be different from the original formatted content or previously released versions of the same titled content.
Video Content may be available as a live or near-live stream ("Live Stream Content") or as a licensed stream supported by advertising or promotional materials that may be for a limited duration ("Ad Supported Content"). Video Content is subject to digital rights management rules and may be subject to other restrictions and limitations depending on the type of Video Content or the device you use to access Video Content. Some of these restrictions are described below.
Live Stream Content comprises live or near-live transmissions of live events and may be viewed at the time of, and simultaneously with, the occurrence of the events themselves and may also be available for an extended period past the occurrence of the event. When you access Live Stream Content, you may be unable to view any part of it that occurred prior to the start of your viewing. We have no control over the start, duration or end of the event or its content (including, among other things, its quality or suitability).

Ad Supported Content may include Promotional Materials that may delay or interrupt its playback. You may not be able to skip or fast forward through Promotional Materials.

If for any reason an Offer, or any element thereof, is compromised or not capable of running as planned, due to virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, cheating, technical failures, any force majeure event, artifice or any other causes similar or dissimilar, Philo reserves the right to cancel, terminate, or modify the Offer or any element thereof at any time.

AGREEMENT BY ENTRANT: By entering by completing and submitting survey, each entrant fully and unconditionally agrees to and accepts these Official Rules, the Terms and Conditions of the Free-1 Year of Philo (both provided on the Website), the information provided by Promotion Entities in connection with the Promotion, the Sponsor's Privacy Policy and the decisions of the Sponsor which are final and binding with respect to all matters pertaining to this Promotion. Without limitation, Sponsor reserves the absolute right to modify these Official Rules, in whole or in part, at any time by posting revised Rules via the Website and/or Social Media Platform used to facilitate the Promotion (as described below).
PROMOTION PERIOD: The Promotion starts on or about 9:00 am Pacific Time (“PT”) on or about 8/12/2022 and ends 11:59 pm PT on _10/12/2022, or until the requisite number of eligible survey responses has been received, whichever is sooner (“Promotion Period”). It is anticipated that Sponsor will accept up to approx. 700 eligible survey responses, at which time the Promotion will close and winners will be selected from eligible entries received up to that time. Individuals may complete the survey thereafter, but will not be eligible to enter or win in this Promotion. Entrants are solely responsible for determining the correct time zone in their respective jurisdictions; Promotion Entities disclaim all liability or responsibility relating thereto. Sponsor's server/computer is the official timekeeping device for the Promotion.
HOW TO ENTER: During the Promotion Period, existing Philo subscribers in good standing may directly receive from Sponsor an email invitation to take a short (approx. 20 minute) survey (“survey"). To enter, during the Promotion Period, click on the survey link in the email, fully and accurately complete the short survey, and submit survey responses (“Entry”). By submitting a survey, entrants are agreeing to these Official Rules. Limit one (1) Entry per person/household. Survey must be completed and submitted in good-faith by the direct recipient of the email, and is void if (suspected of being) reproduced, copied, forwarded, transferred or otherwise non-compliant.
By submitting an Entry, Entrants represent, warrant and covenant (and agree to release and indemnify Sponsor and Promotion Entities from same) that their Entry submitted and all content therein: (i) is the original creation of the Entrant and has not been copied in whole or in part from any other work, and is the sole and exclusive property of the Entrant (or Entrant has all ownership or licensed rights thereto and in any and all content); (ii) does not contain, depict, condone, encourage or promote the use of any inappropriate content as determined by Sponsor; (iii) does not violate or infringe any laws including but not limited to copyright or trademark laws, or other proprietary, publicity, privacy or any other rights of any person, entity, or venue; (iv) does not refer to or contain in any respect information about an individual under the age of 18; and (v) owners of any depicted venues, or any individuals mentioned, featured in, or who have worked on the Entry, in whole or in part, in any manner have given Entrant their express written consent to submission to this Promotion and the use contemplated. If requested by Sponsor, Entrant shall provide evidence of the above in writing. Nothing herein shall be deemed an obligation of confidentiality.
CONDITIONS OF ENTRY: All information provided must be accurate and complete to receive an Entry. Entries must be complete, compliant, submitted only via the method communicated, and received by Sponsor within the Promotion Period. Once submitted, Entries cannot be modified, deleted or cancelled. Entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned. Any Entry that appears to be noncompliant or inappropriate will not be eligible and will be disqualified. Promotion may be advertised via more than one Social Media Platform; however, Entries will only be accepted via the email link to the survey specified herein. Entries may only be submitted by a single registered Philo base account user; submissions (suspected of being) received from, facilitated by or through ineligible individuals/entities, third party couponing/free-sample or similar third-party websites (whether or not paid), or group or commercial submissions are invalid and will not be eligible for participation in the Promotion. Multiple Entrants are not permitted to share the same device, account, IP or email address. By entering, you agree to be contacted by Sponsor (and its authorized representatives) with communications and reminders relating to the Promotion. Promotion Entities have the right to verify Entries and/or Entrants' eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, and on the basis of the investigation, to disqualify any Entry/Entrant at any time during or after the Promotion Period. Without limitation, Sponsor reserves the unfettered right NOT to provide Entry, or prize award, in whole or in part, if doing so may result in public disrepute, scandal, or may have a detrimental impact on Sponsor, Promotion Partner, this Promotion, or any of Sponsor's and/or Promotion Partner's brands, products or services (as determined by Promotion Entities in their absolute discretion). Without limiting the foregoing, Sponsor shall have the right at any time, where necessary, to undertake all action including, but not limited to, voiding/canceling the Promotion, subject a winner to disqualification, prize forfeiture and/or immediate prize return (from a previously confirmed winner, if applicable) and/or require further information as is reasonable to protect any one of the Promotion Entities against fraudulent or invalid claims, potential public scandal, ridicule, or disrepute in awarding the prize to any Entry, Entrant or winner. Incomplete, invalid, illegal, unsuitable, unauthorized, or otherwise non-compliant Entries (as determined in Sponsor's absolute discretion) will not be eligible. Proof that you uploaded a survey (Entry) does not constitute proof or evidence that it was received within the Promotion Period or eligible for the Promotion.
Any Entrant who is suspected of cheating, using fraudulent means, unauthorized Entry methods, attempting to participate multiple times with multiple e-mail, accounts, and/or addresses under multiple or false identities, or engaging in or benefitting, directly or indirectly, from artifice of any other kind, as determined in Sponsor's sole and absolute discretion, will void all such Entries, and disqualify any Entrant suspected of using/benefitting from such methods. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an online Entrant, the authorized account holder of the Philo account used in connection with the Entry will be deemed to be the Entrant. Potential winner(s) may be required to show proof of being the authorized Philo account holder, or otherwise eligible.
Promotion Entities assume no responsibility for: lost, late, delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, stolen, misdirected (including into spam/junk folders), ineligible or illegible Entries or other Promotion related communications (in whole or in part); Website, app, platform or social media platform, computer/server, telephone, network, electronic, digital, wireless or Internet, hardware or software malfunctions, failures, connection problems, or unavailability; garbled, corrupt, or jumbled transmissions; browser incompatibility; service provider, Internet, Website, user, net inaccessibility or unavailability; congestion; technical errors; unauthorized human intervention; human errors; or the delayed, incorrect or inaccurate capture of Entry or other information, or failure to capture any such information.

RANDOM DRAWING/ODDS/PRIZE NOTIFICATION: At the end of the Promotion Period a random drawing will be conducted by Sponsor (or its authorized representative) on or within approx. fifteen working days to select ten (10) potential Grand Prize winners from all eligible Entries received during the Promotion Period. Odds of winning depend on number of eligible Entries received during the Promotion Period. Potential winners will be notified via email address approximately ten (10) working days from the drawing. Potential winners must respond within the time and in the manner specified in the notification, or they will forfeit the prize and an alternate potential Grand Prize winner may be randomly selected in Sponsor's sole discretion. If a potential winner is unable for any reason to accept the prize in its entirety, refuses the prize, fails to timely respond, fails to (timely) provide or satisfy required documentation or follow instructions within the time specified by Sponsor, or is otherwise non-compliant, or found to be ineligible, they will forfeit the prize and an alternate potential winner may be randomly selected in Sponsor's sole discretion. One additional attempt to notify an alternate potential winner will be made; thereafter, the prize will be forfeited. Promotion Entities shall have no liability for any prize or prize notification that is returned, intercepted, not received, not delivered, misdirected (i.e. into spam/junk folders), not timely acted upon, or otherwise not responded to by a potential winner for any reason whatsoever, and prize will be forfeited. Returned prizes will not be re-awarded. There will not be a second chance drawing.
PRIZE CLAIM REQUIREMENTS: Potential Grand Prize winners may be required to sign, have witnessed and return a Declaration of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release within the time specified by Sponsor, or else prize will be forfeited. Sponsor reserves the absolute right to require additional documentation with respect to prize award as necessary in its sole discretion.

Promotion Entities are not responsible for any undelivered calls, messages, e-mails, or any other communications, including but not limited to those that are not received because of any privacy, junk or spam filter settings that may divert any notification, prize or other Promotion related e-mail to a spam or junk folder.

Prizes are not redeemable for cash; any difference between the actual value and ARV of the prize will not be awarded as cash, or otherwise.

Winners agree that prize is personal to them, and may not be assigned, exchanged, transferred, donated or otherwise conveyed.
