3.2 You are responsible for your Eurosport Account username and password, for keeping them confidential, and for all activities that are carried out under them (including all access to and use of the Service through your Eurosport Account) (unless DEL is responsible). We recommend that you do not reveal your payment details, username and password to any other person. You agree to notify us immediately if you become aware of or suspect any breach of security or unauthorised use of your password or username.

4.3 Once you complete a purchase, we will send you a confirmation email with details of your new Eurosport Pass. You can also view details about your Eurosport Pass in the Account area here, including the price. If your Eurosport Pass auto-renews, this information will include the recurring subscription fee, billing renewal date and how to stop your Eurosport Pass from auto-renewing. If you have subscribed through a third party, please read section 13.

5.1 Most Eurosport Passes automatically renew unless you cancel your subscription before your next renewal date (or the end of any free period of access). For more information on auto-renewal, including how to turn it off, read the Eurosport Pass Information tab and Account section.

5.2 If you purchase a Eurosport Pass through us, we will let you know, at the point of sign-up, if your type of Eurosport Pass will automatically renew.

5.3 If you have a Eurosport Pass which automatically renews, and you do not cancel your subscription before the end of the current subscription period (or any free period of access), your Eurosport Pass will automatically renew. When your Eurosport Pass automatically renews, you will be charged the total subscription fee at the same price (unless a promotional price applies to your current or upcoming subscription period, or we have notified you of a price change in accordance with section 8) due for the next subscription period.

6.1 Your Eurosport Pass may start with a free period of access (sometimes referred to on the Service as a ‘free trial’). Free periods of access are available to new subscribers only (one per subscriber), unless we tell you otherwise, and are subject to availability as may be notified to you prior to conclusion of your agreement with us. The specific duration of any free period of access will be specified at the point of sign-up.

7.1 DEL, companies within the same group as DEL and/or our third party partners, may make available voucher codes, discounts or other promotional offers which may offer you free or discounted access to the Service (“Promotional Offers”).

7.2 Promotional Offers may take a variety of forms and may be made available on a standalone basis or provided as part of a bundle with other products or services sold by DEL (or other companies within the same group as DEL) or with the products or services of one of our partners.

7.3 You may only use and redeem Promotional Offers in accordance with the specific terms and conditions which apply to them. Please check the relevant terms and conditions of the Promotional Offer for full details, including:

(a) who is eligible to take up the offer; and

(b) whether restrictions apply on combining a Promotional Offer with a free period of access.

7.4 Where a Promotional Offer is provided by a third party partner or by another company within the same group as DEL, that other party may also have additional terms and conditions which apply.

8.1 If you are required to pay for your Eurosport Pass, you will be charged for it using the payment method chosen by you when you first subscribe.

8.4 If you are eligible for a Promotional Offer involving a discount, your bill and payments will be reduced accordingly for the promotion period. After the promotion period, the then standard subscription price will apply.

8.5 To view your billing information, turn off auto-renew or to update or change your payment method, go to the Account area here (unless you’re paying via a third party or through another service, for example via Apple, Google or one of our partners, in which case see section 13 (Third Party Platforms and Services) below).

8.6 If a payment fails, because your payment method has expired, you have insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not change your payment method or cancel your Eurosport Pass, we may suspend access to your Eurosport Pass and/or your Account until we (or the relevant third party) has obtained a valid payment method. When you update your payment method in your Account here, you authorise us to charge the updated payment method for your Eurosport Pass and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. This may result in a change to your payment dates.

8.7 We reserve the right to change the date we charge you if your payment method has not been successfully authorised or if your subscription renewal date does not occur in a given month, for example, if you are usually charged on the 30th of each month, in February you will be charged on the 28th.

8.8 We use other companies (including other companies in the same group as DEL), agents or contractors to process credit card transactions and other payment methods.

8.9 If you subscribe to a Eurosport Pass which starts with a free period of access, or if you use a Promotional Offer which permits access to a Eurosport Pass for no charge but also requires you to provide your payment details, a nominal charge may be temporarily taken when your free period or Promotional Offer begins.

9.1 We may increase or decrease the price of your Eurosport Pass from time to time. Increases may occur if the cost to us of providing the Service increases, which may include for example: when we have to pay third parties more for their content by paying higher licence fees, production costs and negotiating or obtaining any other kind of licence or permit that may be needed for existing Content; when we introduce new Content and so have to purchase such Content, incur production costs and negotiate new licences and permits; when we update our Content and the Service and there are development and licence costs associated with any such updates and/or any updates, upgrades or new technology required; when we change the way we structure the Service; when we invest in improving our customer support and security; for valid legal and/or regulatory reasons; and/or other costs associated with the running of the Service increase, including external factors such as a rise in inflation.

9.2 We will inform you of all price increases at least 6 weeks in advance and you are entitled to object to the respective price increase or to cancel your subscription before the price increase becomes effective. If you do not object, the price increase will be deemed accepted by you. DEL will explicitly inform you about your right to object and the consequences of your silence at the time of notification. We will not make any price change during an ongoing subscription, but only at the end of a subscription period for a new subscription period.

9.3 If you have purchased a Eurosport Pass through one of our third party partners (including Apple or Google), price changes will be subject to that third party’s terms and conditions.

10.1 As we mentioned above when describing the Service, the Content will change regularly – that means exciting sports, events, articles, programmes, channels etc. may become available whilst other sports, events, articles, programmes, channels etc. will stop being available.

10.2 The availability of Content may change for various reasons, such as where third party rights-holders withdraw or restrict our right to use that content on the Service.

10.3 In case of material changes to the Content available with a Eurosport Pass, you will be notified in accordance with section 11.2.

11.1 Free access:

(a) We may regularly make changes to or discontinue the free elements of the Service.

(b) This includes any parts of the Service that you can access as an unregistered guest and as a Eurosport Account holder, without purchasing a Eurosport Pass. For example, there may be times when we have to remove certain features or functionality. We may also improve, update or enhance the free aspects of the Service from time to time.

(c) If you have a Eurosport Account, you will be notified in advance of material changes or amendments to the Service and you are free to cancel your Eurosport Account at any time.

11.2 Paid Service

(a) There may also be times when we have to make changes to the parts of the Service that you can only access with a Eurosport Pass (the “Paid Service”) provided that: (i) we have a valid reason to do so that could not have been foreseen at the time this agreement was concluded (for example, to comply with a change in applicable laws or an order made by a court with competent jurisdiction); (ii) the relationship between performance and counter performance of our agreement for the Service does not significantly change to your disadvantage; and (iii) this change is reasonable.

(b) You will be notified of planned changes to the Service in writing (including email) at least 6 weeks before they take effect (“Notice of Changes”).

(i) Changes to the Service are deemed approved by you if you do not expressly object to them after receipt of the Notice of Changes. DEL specifically draws your attention to this legal consequence. In the absence of such notice, or if it is incomplete, your lack of objection does not constitute acceptance of changes to the Service.

(ii) In the event of a Notice of Changes to the Service, you have the right to terminate your subscription before the changes take effect.

(iii) If a materially adverse change is going to come into effect during your current subscription period and you cancel your Eurosport Pass before the change comes into effect, we will provide you with a refund for amounts you have paid for the Paid Service but not yet received.

11.3 This section 10 does not apply to immaterial changes to any part of the Service which do not impede the use of the Service, including, without limitation, mere design changes or changes to the Content (as described in section 10).
