Web Site Terms and Conditions (Updated August 2010)
This web site ("Site") is owned, operated and provided to you ("You") by TiVo Inc. ("TiVo"). If You proceed to use the TiVo resources located at this Site, You agree to abide by these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy (see link below). If You do not wish to abide by these Terms of Use (or to the Privacy Policy and any disclaimers posted elsewhere on the TiVo Site) then You may not use this Site. TiVo may from time to time revise these Terms of Use by updating this posting. You should therefore periodically visit this page to review the current Terms of Use, so You are aware of any such revisions to which You are bound. Your continued use of this Site and the resources enabled by the Site will signify and represent Your acceptance of the current Terms of Use.
Description of Resources
Through this Site, TiVo provides You with access to a variety of resources, including product information and Remote Scheduling feature (collectively "Resources"). The Resources, including any updates, enhancements, and new features are subject to the Terms of Use.
Remote Scheduling
The TiVo Remote Scheduling™ feature is intended to allow authorized users (such as purchasers of the TiVo Home Media Option™ package) to program Your TiVo® DVR through the Internet. You hereby acknowledge that recording requests and settings entered through this Site or through other Web sites that offer the Remote Scheduling feature cannot be completed unless Your TiVo DVR is connected to a video source and an Internet connection, and You have subscribed to the TiVo® Service. Remote Scheduling is dependent upon a number of variables, many of which TiVo does not control. TiVo does not guarantee that a program You designate through this Site to record will be recorded or that any of the recording settings or options designated through this Site will be implemented.
TIVO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, NOR HAS ANY CONTROL OVER, THE CONTENT OF ANY SHOWS VIEWED OR RECORDED USING A TIVO DVR OR THE REMOTE SCHEDULING FEATURE. FURTHER, YOU HEREBY DECLARE AND AFFIRM THAT ANY AND ALL RECORDINGS MADE USING YOUR TIVO DVR OR THE REMOTE SCHEDULING FEATURE ARE FOR PERSONAL, NONCOMMERCIAL USE, AND THAT NO RECORDINGS MADE THROUGH EITHER THE RECORDER OR FEATURE WILL BE SOLD OR SHOWN TO A PUBLIC AUDIENCE. UNAUTHORIZED COPYING OR DISTRIBUTION OF COPYRIGHTED WORKS MAY CONSTITUTE AN INFRINGEMENT OF THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS' RIGHTS. TIVO RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE ACCOUNTS OF USERS OF THE REMOTE SCHEDULING FEATURE WHO INFRINGE THE COPYRIGHTS OF OTHERS.
Privacy
Please review TiVo's Privacy Policy located as www.tivo.com/privacy and Website Privacy Policy located as www.tivo.com/5.11.1 .asp, which are incorporated herein by reference. When You use the Remote Scheduling feature, You are instructing TiVo to record a particular program on Your DVR. Unlike when You record programs on Your DVR at home, TiVo must associate Your viewing choice with Your DVR to fulfill Your request. Accordingly, by using the Remote Scheduling feature, You are expressly consenting to TiVo's collection of the Personally Identifiable Viewing Information associated with the fulfillment of Your recording request. TiVo may use and disclose this information consistent with TiVo's Privacy Policy. Use of the Remote Scheduling feature, however, does not change Your privacy preferences with respect to viewing choices made in the privacy of Your household. For example, if You schedule a recording of Friends from our Site, TiVo will know that You scheduled a particular recording of Friends from our Site and other associated information such as what date and time You scheduled the recording, and when the recording was scheduled to be aired. TiVo would not know what other programs You recorded at home (unless You had affirmatively changed Your privacy preferences to enable TiVo to collect all of Your Personally Identifiable Viewing Information).
If You affirmatively request to be notified of any scheduling conflicts when using the Remote Scheduling feature, You are expressly consenting to TiVo's collection and distribution to Your designated e-mail address of Personally Identifiable Viewing Information concerning the conflicting scheduling information. TiVo may use and disclose this information consistent with TiVo's Privacy Policy. Use of the conflict notification option, however, does not otherwise change Your privacy preferences with respect to viewing choices made in the privacy of Your household.
Password and Security
If any of the Resources require You to register with TiVo, You must complete the registration process by providing us with current, complete and accurate information as prompted by the applicable registration form. You also will choose a password and a user name. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Your password and account. Furthermore, You are entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under Your account. You authorize TiVo to assume that any person using the Site with Your password and user name either is You or is authorized to act for You. You agree to notify TiVo immediately of any unauthorized use of Your account or any other breach of security. TiVo will not be liable for any loss that You may incur as a result of someone else using Your password or account, either with or without Your knowledge. However, You could be held liable for losses incurred by TiVo or another party due to someone else using Your account or password. You may not use anyone else's account at any time, without the permission of the account holder.
