1. The Service.

The AsiaPacificFilms.com Video Streaming Service (the "Service") offers digitized versions of motion pictures, television shows, podcasts, and other digital content (collectively, "Digital Content") and other services under certain terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement.

As used herein, "Non-Commercial, Private Use" means a presentation of Digital Content for which no fee or consideration of any kind (other than that which you pay to us to view the Digital Content) is charged or received, which takes place in your private home or apartment or, if outside your private home or apartment (e.g., in a hotel room, dorm room, office, or airport waiting lounge) and is limited to a private viewing for you and your invitees. Non-Commercial, Private Use specifically excludes (i) any public presentation, (ii) any presentation made for purposes of fundraising, (ii) any presentation by a place of public accommodation or other commercial establishment (e.g., a bar, store or restaurant), and/or (iv) any presentation pursuant to an assignment of membership rights, regardless of whether a fee is charged.

b. Full Access Viewing. Upon your payment of the monthly membership fee, AsiaPacificFilms.com grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right and license to stream, and to view, use and privately perform, for Non-Commercial, Private Use, all of the Digital Content on the AsiaPacificFilms.com Website, by way of one (1) Authorized Device (e.g., a laptop or desktop computer) connected to the Service over the Internet.

6. Geographic Limitations.

Due to restrictions placed on us by our content providers, viewing access to some of the Service’s Digital Content may be unavailable to customers located in certain countries. We regret that some of the Service’s Digital Content is restricted based upon the country from which the viewing request is made; however, we are bound to comply with the terms of our agreements with our content providers, who are, in turn, bound to comply with their agreements with other licensees.

7. Membership And Billing.

In order to gain Full Access Viewing of the Digital Content available on the Service, you will be required to register and become a member. Where registration is required, you agree to provide us with accurate, complete registration information. Your registration must be done using your real name and accurate address and billing information. Each registration is for your personal use only and not on behalf of any other person or entity. We do not permit (a) any other person to use your membership to gain access to those portions of the Website only made available to members for Full Access Viewing; or (b) access through a single membership being made available to multiple users. You are responsible for preventing such unauthorized use. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password.

By becoming a member of AsiaPacificFilms.com, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge you a monthly membership fee, any applicable tax and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Service to the method of payment (hereinafter, “Payment Method”) you provided during registration (or to a different Payment Method if you change your account information). As used herein, "billing" shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method, including a checking account, where applicable. The membership fee will be billed at the beginning of your membership and on each monthly renewal automatically thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for reasons that include differing amounts due to promotional offers, changes in your membership plan, or changes in the amount of applicable taxes, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts. We may also periodically authorize your card in anticipation of membership or related charges. All fees and charges are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount or other consideration to some or all of our members ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. If you want to use a different Payment Method or if there is a change in your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method information by going to the "Your Account" page within AsiaPacificFilms.Com. If your Payment Method reaches its expiration date and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see, "Membership Term and Cancellation" Section below), you authorize us to continue billing that Payment Method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

If you have questions concerning your membership account, please contact our Membership Service at AsiaPacificFilms.com, 2800 Woodlawn Drive, Suite 265, Honolulu, HI 96822, or send an email to: membershipservice@AsiaPacificFilms.com.

8. Membership Term and Cancellation.

Your AsiaPacificFilms.com membership will continue in effect unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it. You must cancel your membership before it renews each month in order to avoid billing of the next month's membership fees to your Payment Method. We will bill the monthly membership fee plus any applicable tax to the Payment Method you provide to us during registration (or to a different Payment Method if you change your account information).

You may cancel your membership with AsiaPacificFilms.com at anytime, and cancellation will be effective immediately. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-MONTH MEMBERSHIP PERIODS. To cancel, go to the "Your Account" page within AsiaPacificFilms.Com and follow the instructions for cancellation.
