Terms of Service

THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN LEGAL OBLIGATIONS.

PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE ZUZU SERVICE.

BY USING THE ZUZU SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AS SET FORTH BY Film.Ca Cinemas Inc. operating as Zuzu Video on Demand (“Zuzu”).   

Zuzu is a subscription service that offers Zuzu’s members access to audio-visual entertainment content including movies, series, and music videos (the “Content”), including by delivering the Content over the Internet to devices connected to the Internet (a “Zuzu ready device”).

As used in these Terms of Service, “Zuzu Service”, “our service” and “service” refers to the delivery of streaming Content to its members by Film.Ca Cinemas Inc. operating as Zuzu Video on Demand, a Canadian corporation, including all features and functionalities, website and user interfaces, in addition to all Content and software associated with the Zuzu Service.

As used in these Terms of Service, “you” and “your” refers to you and anyone who uses the Zuzu Service through your registered account. As used in these Terms of Service, “Zuzu”, “we”, “us” and “our” refers to (a) Film.Ca Cinemas Inc. operating as Zuzu Video on Demand and (b) any other Zuzu affiliate that joins as a party to these Terms of Service.

  1. Membership.

To access the Zuzu Service, you must register for and subscribe to the Zuzu Service as described in these Terms of Service and comply with its requirements. Your Zuzu membership (“Membership”) will continue month-to-month or year-to-year, as the case may be, until terminated. To use the Zuzu Service you must have Internet access and an Zuzu ready device, and provide Zuzu with a current, valid, accepted method of payment, which you may update from time to time (“Payment Method”). Unless you cancel your Membership before your billing date, you authorize us to charge your next term’s Membership fee to your Payment Method (see Cancellation below). You can access information about your membership by visiting our website and clicking on the “Dashboard”. Zuzu may also offer a day pass which is not automatically renewed.

  1. Billing.

Recurring Billing Cycle. The Membership fee for the Zuzu Service and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Zuzu Service, such as taxes, will be charged on a recurring basis to your Payment Method on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your membership. In some cases, your payment date may change, for example if your Payment Method has not successfully settled or if your Membership began on a day not contained in a given month. Visit our website and click on Dashboard to see the last date of your Membership.

Payment Methods. You can change your Payment Method by visiting our website and clicking on the Dashboard. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration of the Payment Method, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not change your Payment Method or cancel your Membership, we may suspend your Membership and access to the Zuzu Service until we have obtained a valid Payment Method. When you update your Payment Method, you authorize us to continue charging the updated Payment Method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. This may result in a change to your payment dates. For some Payment Methods, the issuer may charge you certain fees relating to the processing of your Payment Method. Local tax charges may vary depending on the Payment Method used. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.

Cancellation. You can cancel your Membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Zuzu Service through the end of your billing period so long as full payment has been received by Zuzu. To the extent permitted by the applicable law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for any partial-month membership periods or unwatched Content. To cancel, go to the Dashboard on our website, and follow the instructions for cancellation. If you cancel your Membership, your Dashboard will automatically close at the end of your current billing period. To see when your account will close, go to your Dashboard. 

Changes to the Price and Service Plans. We may change Zuzu Service plans and the prices from time to time; however, any price changes or changes to our service plans will apply to you no earlier than sixty (60) days following notice to you, using any contact information we have for you in our discretion, including but not limited to providing notice in your Dashboard.

  1. Using The Zuzu Service.

Age. You must be at least the greater of 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your province, territory or country, to become a member of Zuzu. Minors may only use the Zuzu Service under the supervision of an adult. In cases where you have authorized a minor to use the Zuzu Service, you recognize that you are fully responsible for: (a) the online conduct of such minor; (b) controlling the minor’s access to and use of the Zuzu Service; and (c) the consequences of any use or misuse of the Zuzu Service by the minor. You acknowledge that Content displayed or accessed through the Zuzu Service may contain mature content that may be inappropriate for minors.

Geography. You may view the Content primarily within the country in which you have established your Membership and only in geographic locations where we offer our service and have licensed the Content.

Testing. Zuzu makes changes to the Zuzu Service, including the Content. In addition, we continually test various aspects of the Zuzu Service, including our website, user interfaces, promotional features and availability of Content. By using the Zuzu Service, you agree that we may include you in or exclude you from these tests without notice.

Internet Charges. You are responsible for all Internet access charges related to your use of the Zuzu Service. Please check with your Internet provider for information on possible Internet data usage charges.

Technical Requirements. Your use of the Zuzu Service will require your device to be connected to the Internet. Additionally, you may choose to access the Zuzu Service using a mobile service. In all such cases, you are solely responsible for the cost and maintenance of any such Internet or mobile connection, including any data usage, roaming or other charges that you incur. You acknowledge that viewing quality, and the time it takes to begin watching the Content, may vary depending on the quality of your Internet or mobile connection and viewing device capabilities. Further, you acknowledge that, from time to time, you may be unable to access the Zuzu Service or you may experience video and/or audio re-buffering or drop-outs. Your use of the Zuzu Service is subject to certain minimum technical requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have access to the hardware and/or software platforms required to access and use the Zuzu Service.

Passwords and Account Access. The member whose Payment Method is charged has access and control over the Membership and the Zuzu ready devices that are used to access the Zuzu Service. To maintain control over the Membership and to prevent anyone from accessing the Membership (including viewing history), you should maintain control over the Zuzu ready devices that are used to access the Zuzu Service and not reveal the password nor details of the Payment Method associated with the Membership to anyone. You are responsible for updating and maintaining the accuracy of the information you provide to us relating to your account. We can terminate your Membership or place it on hold to protect you, Zuzu or our partners from identity theft or other fraudulent activity.

Content. The availability of the Content will be determined in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or any part of the Zuzu Service or access to the Content. You acknowledge and agree that the suppliers of Content are third party beneficiaries of these Terms of Service. As such, upon your acceptance of these Terms of Service, at Zuzu’s discretion, such suppliers will have the right to enforce these Terms of Service directly against you.

Each item of Content is licensed by Zuzu on a territory by territory basis. As such, you may be able to access certain Content from one geographic location and not from another. As well, Zuzu does not promise that any particular item of Content will be available or, if it is available, that it will not be removed. The availability of particular Content is subject to change.
