1. Third Party Apps: In addition to providing video programming and video-related services, and interactive television services, certain Altice Equipment provided in connection with the Optimum TV Service, including the Altice digital cable box, may include or provide access to services, software or applications that are licensed, sold and/or provided to You by Third Party Providers ("Third Party Provider App(s)"). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not be deemed to apply to any Third Party Apps and Your use of a Third Party App is subject to the terms and conditions of the license agreement between you and the licensor of that Third Party App. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber shall only use Third Party Apps on the Altice One Equipment that are authorized by Altice.
2. Reproduction of Programs: You may not make copies of programs except as permitted by law. You may only display programming at your service location in accordance with the level of Service and programming package to which you subscribe.
3. Altice's Rights:
A. Altice has no obligation to monitor content or services accessible with the Altice cable system or the digital cable box. However, Subscriber agrees that Altice may monitor content electronically from time to time and to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law or regulation to operate its programming and data information services properly, or to protect itself or its Subscribers.
B. Altice may determine in its sole discretion what constitutes an "inappropriate" use of Altice's systems, equipment, and services.
4. Additional Features, Functionalities and Tools: Altice may from time to time offer additional service features, functionality and tools, such as Web DVR. These features, functions and tools may be further subject to specific terms of use (available by clicking here) and subject to change or removal at any time by Altice.
5. Programming:
A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Optimum TV Service, including but not limited to all programming, program services, program packages, number of channels, channel allocations, broadcast channels, interactive services, data offerings and other services are subject to change under applicable law. Altice shall not be liable for any failure or interruption of program transmissions or service resulting in part or entirely from circumstances beyond Altice's reasonable control. VOD and Pay Per View services are not available to commercial customers. Subscriber agrees that it has no right to receive, and Altice has no obligation to provide, any particular programming service or channel as part of Altice's Optimum TV Service and that Subscriber is not entering into this agreement or purchasing Altice's Optimum TV Service in reliance on an expectation or promise (explicit or implicit) that any particular programming service or set of programming services shall be included as part of Altice's Optimum TV Service.
B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and to avoid doubt, in the event particular programming becomes unavailable, either on a temporary or permanent basis, due to a dispute between Altice and a third-party programmer, Altice shall not be liable for compensation, damages (including compensatory, direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential losses or damages), credits or refunds of fees for the missing or omitted programming. Subscriber's sole recourse in such an event shall be cancellation of the Service in accordance with the Terms of Service. This paragraph shall not apply to programming to which a Subscriber subscribes on an a la carte basis (i.e. channels not part of a package or tier); provided, however, in that event Subscriber shall only be entitled to a pro rata credit of amounts pre-paid for the specific programming to which Subscriber subscribes on an a la carte basis.
6. Additional Disclaimer: Programming information is passed onto Altice from the programmers and is provided to you AS IS. Altice does not guarantee the accuracy of any programming title, run time or other related programming information. Altice does not guarantee Subscriber's access to or ability to record any particular programming or the time that any particular program remains available for viewing or recording.
7. Parental Control: A Parental Control feature is available for you if you want to keep children from watching certain programming. You can place channels under Parental Control by blocking out channel number, and/or, on the digital cable box, by program rating. Please check the manual provided with your service for instructions on how to implement and monitor the Parental Control features. Should you deactivate the Parental Control feature, even for one channel or event, this will deactivate the Parental Control feature for all other channels previously locked out. You will then have to reactivate the Parental Control to again block out the desired channels. It is recommended that you occasionally verify that your Parental Control feature is activated and operational.
8. Prohibited Uses and Activities: The Subscriber shall not use Altice's Equipment, or the Services for illegal or inappropriate activities or otherwise engage in any illegal or inappropriate activities in their course of dealings with Altice, including but not limited to:
