Terms and Conditions of Service

Correct as of 11 Feb 2010

Collection and Use of Information

When you place your first order with Channel Films, we ask you for your full name, email address, age and possibly your credit/Debit card number so we can license and distribute your film. We use your age only to verify that you're old enough to view some of the content. You (the account holder) must certify that you are at least 18 years old. People under 18 cannot use Channel Films without the concent of an adult. At times, we may ask you to provide some generic demographic information to better assist our customer service and company direction. You are not required to provide us with this information, and if you do participate we will reimburse you with promotion vouchers to use on Channel Films. If you want to update your address or change credit cards, go to My Account and make the appropriate changes. You must be signed in to access My Account. We also track your order and billing history so you can access My Account and immediately determine which films you have rented or purchased and how you paid for them.

Cookies

The Channel Films website will place cookies on your computer's hard drive. (Cookies are small pieces of data that are sent to your browser from our Web servers and stored on your hard drive.) Cookies allow us to match your account information with our systems so that you don't need to retype information each time you visit our website. If your browser is set to not accept cookies, you will not be able to use the Channel Films website or VoD service. Channel Films will not authorise third parties use of cookies generated by our websites or services.

Viewing and Updating your Information on Channel Films

You can always access the personal information you provid Channel Films by going to My Account. You can make changes to this information at anytime. Any change to information that Channel Films depends on to provide your service may be delayed for verification in order to ensure the information we hold is accurate.

Disclosure

Except as described in this section, we will not sell, rent or disclose your personally identifying information to third parties. We hold the right to use ambiguous demographic information and trends to better our service. For example, we may analyse the films you rent or purchase so that we can better market and focus on content you may like. We may use your information to contact you by email, post and telephone in relation to your account or service. Any newsletters, promotions or adverts will require you to opt-in. We will not be liable for any damages that may result from the misuse of your personal information. Channel Films reserves the right to disclose information when required by law. Customers should check back for updates to this policy.

Film Licenses

All film licenses obtained through Channel Films are authorised play throughout their valid license period and may be subject to continuance of your Channel Films account, subscription or service. Downloaded or issued Films maybe protected by a DRM (digital rights management) mechanism to prevent unauthorised distribution and viewing. Licenses for Film Purchases (Bought-to-Own) can be re-authorised "once" providing your Channel Films account is still valid and active. License Re-Authorisation requests must be sent via the Channel Films Support Ticket System, and are subject to verification and approval.

Security and Access

For transmitting your personal information to us, we use a secure server (SSL), which encrypts all of your personal information. This encryption process ensures that the information you give us is protected against unauthorized access. You can access My Account from every page on the site to update and correct your name, email address, password, postal address, credit cards, and mailing list preferences. Please note that you must be signed in to Channel Films to access this information. We have implemented technology and security features, to the accuracy and privacy of your personal information. We have taken measures to help protect your information from unauthorized access or improper use. We will continue to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes available. While we make every effort to ensure that your information is secure on our system, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and therefor cannot guarantee your information will be safe from hackers/fraudsters. Online payments are processed by either SagePay or PayPal and Channel Films does not directly store your Credit or Debit card  on any databases or systems even if the information was provided to our websites or services.

Refunds

Channel Films will refund any Film Rental that hasn't been watched or where no DRM license has been issued. Channel Films will refund Film Purchases (bought to own) that either hasn't been watched, or where no DRM license has been issued. If you encounter problems with DRM Licenses, we will try to resolve any problem with DRM delivery before issuing a refund. All refund requests must be raised via our Support Ticket System. No Refunds can be given on payments for TopUp Site Credit. Any refunds for Film Rental/Purcahses where Site Credit was used will be reallocated as Site Credit. No refunds can be given to rental / purchases obtained by Voucher. Vouchers have no cash value outside of the Channel Films Website.
