Welcome to Lion Mountain TV! We are a subscription service that provides our members with access to fact-based audio-visual programming, including clips and other Content (Lion Mountain TV Content) streamed over the Internet to certain Internet-connected TVs, computers, and other devices.

 

These Terms of Use (the Terms) apply to our website www.lionmountain.tv (the "Site") as well as all other websites, apps, and services operated and controlled by Lion Mountain Media (Pty) Ltd (hereafter referred to as either "we," "us" or "Lion Mountain TV”) or a third party affiliate of Lion Mountain TV, and other websites, apps, and services where these Terms are posted (as defined below). These Terms set forth legally binding terms that govern and restrict your use of our Service. As used in these Terms, "Lion Mountain TV Service," "our Service" or "the Service" means the Service provided by Lion Mountain TV for discovering and watching Lion Mountain TV content, including all features and functionalities, website, and user interfaces, as well as all Content and software associated with our Service.

 

BY USING, VISITING, OR BROWSING THE LION MOUNTAIN TV SERVICE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 15, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE LION MOUNTAIN TV SERVICE.

 

1. Changes to Terms

We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes (i.e., changes that have an important impact or effect on you), we will post the amended Terms to the Lion Mountain TV service and update the “Effective Date” date above. We may also notify you by sending an email notification to the address associated with your user account or by providing notice through the Lion Mountain TV service. Therefore, it is important that you keep your account information, including email address, updated. Any material change to these Terms will be effective immediately after the revised Terms are first posted or, for users who register or otherwise provide opt-in consent at the time of registration or consent, as applicable. Your continued access to and use of the Lion Mountain TV service after such changes become effective confirms your acceptance of the changes. Your only right with respect to any dissatisfaction with any changes to these Terms is to cancel your subscription to the Lion Mountain TV service and stop accessing and using the Lion Mountain TV service.

 

2. Privacy

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, store, and disclose information about you, including the account registration information you provide.

 

3. Electronic Communications

By using the Lion Mountain TV service, you consent to receiving electronic communications from Lion Mountain Media (Pty) Ltd relating to your account. These communications may involve sending emails to your email address provided during account registration, (e.g., payment authorizations, notices of a change in password or Payment Method (as defined below), confirmation e-mails and other transactional information). You may opt-out to receive other communications from us, such as newsletters about new Lion Mountain TV features and Content, special offers, promotional announcements and customer surveys via email or other methods.

4. Accounts and Registration

a. You are responsible for all use of your account, including using your account by other members of your household. By allowing others to access your account or create profiles within your account (if such functionality is available to you), you agree to be responsible for ensuring that they comply with these Terms and agree to be accountable for their activity using the Lion Mountain TV service. All registration information you submit must be accurate and updated. Please keep your password confidential. You will not have to reveal it to any Lion Mountain TV representative. Because you are responsible for all use of your account, including unauthorized use by any third party, please be very careful to guard the security of your password. Please notify us if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account. Please also make sure to notify us if your registration information changes, in case we need to contact you.

 

b. We reserve the right to immediately terminate or restrict your account or your use of the Lion Mountain TV service or access to Lion Mountain TV Content at any time, without notice or liability, if Lion Mountain TV determines in its sole discretion that you have breached these Terms, violated any law, rule, or regulation, engaged in other inappropriate conduct, or for any other business reason. We also reserve the right to terminate your account or your use of the Lion Mountain TV service or access to Lion Mountain TV Content if such use places an undue burden on our networks or servers. Of course, we would prefer to avoid such termination; therefore, we may use technology to limit activities, such as the number of calls to our servers being made or the volume of User Material (defined below) being Posted, and you agree to respect these limitations and not take any steps to circumvent, avoid, or bypass them.

 

5. Subscriptions, Billing and Cancellation

a. Subscriptions

While we may offer Lion Mountain TV Content from time to time for free, we charge a fee to access the premium Lion Mountain TV service. The Lion Mountain TV service may include different Lion Mountain TV Content offerings and features, with different benefits, conditions, and limitations. You can find the specific details regarding your subscription at any time by logging in on the “Site” and viewing your account details. Because the Lion Mountain TV service is offered in multiple time zones, for consistency, a "day" for purposes of these Terms begins at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time and ends at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time of that same calendar day.

 

b. Billing

By providing a credit card or other payment method accepted by Lion Mountain TV ("Payment Method") for your premium subscription, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge you a periodic subscription fee on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your premium subscription, any other fees for additional services you may purchase, and any applicable taxes in connection with your use of your premium 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 Site and viewing your account details. Lion Mountain TV representatives will NOT take your credit card or Payment Method information through email, chat, phone, or any other method for your security. When you provide a Payment Method to access a premium subscription, our system will attempt to verify the information you entered. We do this by processing an authorization hold (if required), 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 premium subscription, you authorize us to continue billing, and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

 

As used in these Terms, "billing" shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method. The premium subscription fee will be billed at the beginning of your premium subscription or expiration of your free trial period, if any, whichever is earlier, and on each periodic renewal date thereafter unless and until you cancel your premium subscription, or the account or Service is otherwise suspended or discontinued pursuant to these Terms. To see the commencement date for your next renewal period, log in on the Site and view your account details.

 

We automatically bill your Payment Method on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your premium subscription. The interval of time between each payment due date shall correspond to the term of your premium subscription and be referred to herein as a "Billing Period."

 

You acknowledge that the timing of when you are billed and the amount billed each Billing Period may vary, including for example due to promotional offers, gift card redemptions, credits applied, changes in your subscription, changes in your Payment Method, and changes in applicable taxes, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for the corresponding amounts.

If we offer you a promotion (e.g., a promotional price) for your subscription, the specific terms of the promotion will be disclosed during your sign-up or in other materials provided to you describing the particular promotion. In the case of promotional pricing, we will begin billing your Payment Method for your premium subscription at the regular price after your promotion ends unless you cancel prior to the end of your promotion or unless otherwise disclosed in communications made available to you.

 

Lion Mountain TV reserves 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. If Lion Mountain TV changes the subscription fee or other charges for your subscription, we will give you advance notice of these changes. However, we will not be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes.

 

c. Ongoing Subscription and Cancellation

Your premium subscription will continue in effect on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your subscription unless and until you cancel your premium subscription or the account or Service is otherwise suspended or discontinued pursuant to these Terms. You must cancel your premium subscription before your next renewal date in order to avoid the next billing. We will bill the periodic 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 premium subscription, cancellation will be effective at the end of the current Billing 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 will also forfeit any service or referral credits upon cancellation. You may cancel your premium subscription via your account.  If you pay for the Services through your account with a third party (e.g., Apple iTunes) and want to cancel your subscription or manage your billing, you must do so through your account with such third party.

 

Subscriptions can be cancelled by clicking on the Cancel Subscription on your profiles. This action will forward an email to support@lmmedia.co.za advising them of your subscription cancellation.

 

d. Unpaid Amounts

It is important that each subscriber honour the payment obligations to which the subscriber agreed. Accordingly, we reserve the right to retry billing your Payment Method after failed attempts (e.g., if your Payment Method is rejected). We also 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.

 

e. Free Trials

On occasion, we may offer free trials to the Lion Mountain TV Service for certain 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 or during your sign-up. Certain limitations may exist with respect to combining free trials with any other offers. Lion Mountain TV reserves the right to determine eligibility for free trials. To view the specific details regarding your free trial, if any, log in on the Site and view your account details.

 

Once your free trial period ends, we will begin billing your Payment Method for your periodic subscription fees (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 Lion Mountain TV 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 midnight Eastern Time on the last day of your free trial period. You may cancel your subscription at any time as described in the "Ongoing Subscription and Cancellation" section of these Terms. We will continue to bill your Payment Method for your subscription on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your subscription until you cancel or the account is otherwise suspended or discontinued pursuant to these Terms. If you cancel your subscription during a free trial or while using a promotional code or other credits, cancellation may be effective immediately.
