maintain the VUDU Service. The VUDU Service is only available, and content can
only be downloaded, within the 50 States of the United States of America. When
you order Content for rental, you will be granted a non-exclusive, non-
transferable limited license to download and view one copy of the Content on a
single in-home television within the exhibition period described below. When
you order Content for purchase, you will be granted a non-exclusive, non-
transferable limited license to download and view one copy of the Content on a
single in-home television once or repeatedly, and to retain such copy. The use of
the VUDU Service will enable other users of the VUDU Service to download
segments of files from your VUDU Equipment. Your IP address may be visible by
routers of other users of the VUDU Service; no other personal information will be
visible. You hereby consent to such downloads and to the corresponding use of
bandwidth. To prevent others from downloading from your VUDU Equipment,
you can: (a) disconnect your VUDU Equipment from the Internet, (b) disconnect
the power source to your VUDU Equipment, or (c) terminate your VUDU Service.
Content Selection: We will
determine the selection, availability, and quantity
of all Content available on the VUDU Service. The Content offered, the quantity
of Content offered, and the availability of the Content offered can/may be unique
to each VUDU Service account and VUDU Equipment. Not all Content on the
VUDU Service is available at all times to all users.
Content Restrictions: You understand and agree that the Content is licensed
by VUDU from content providers (“Content Providers”). Copyrights in the
Content are owned by the Content Providers and protected by the copyright laws
of the United States, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. No
right, title or interest in the Content is transferred to you. All Content is licensed,
not sold, transferred or assigned to you, for personal, non-commercial use only
on VUDU Equipment. You may not edit, modify, copy, distribute, transmit,
download, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, translate, create
derivative works from, transfer, alter, adapt, sell, rent, lease or sublicense any
Content, or facilitate any of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, you may not (i) show any Content to any public audience or view it in
public location; (ii) duplicate, reproduce, transfer record, or create copies of
Content or any portion thereof (including without limitation by “burning”, P2P
file-sharing, posting, uploading or downloading) onto any physical medium,
memory or device, including without limitation, CDs, DVDs, VCDs, portable
media devices, computers or other hardware or any other medium now owned or
hereinafter devised. You may not attempt to circumvent, avoid, bypass, remove,
deactivate, impair or otherwise defeat any encryption, rights signaling or copy
protection technology in which the Content is wrapped or otherwise associated.
You may not decompile, copy, reproduce, reverse engineer, disassemble or
otherwise reduce the computer file in which the Content is stored to a human-
readable form. Any unauthorized copying or other activities that infringe upon
the intellectual property rights of owners of the Content are prohibited, and you
expressly agree to the automatic termination of the VUDU Service if you engage
in any infringing activities. Upon any such termination, the Content will be
deleted from your VUDU Equipment.
Content purchased on VUDU is non-transferable and will be deleted from your
VUDU Equipment upon registration of a VUDU Service Account under a new
name to your VUDU Equipment.
Except as specifically granted herein, all rights to the Content are reserved by the
owner of such Content.
