6. Account Registration and Management

A. Some Services may allow or require you to create an account to enable certain features or receive certain information. To register and use an account, you must be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction (whichever is older). By registering, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms of Use, which form a binding contract between you and TWC.

You authorize TWC to collect, use, share, and store the information you provide during registration and your ongoing use of the Services in accordance with TWC's Privacy Policy and as permitted by applicable law. Account features, functionality, and experiences may vary across different platforms, devices, and geographic locations.   

B. By registering, you represent and warrant that all information you provide is accurate, complete, and current, and you agree to promptly update such information as necessary to keep it accurate and complete. If registration requires you to create log-in credentials such as an email address or user name along with a password, you acknowledge and agree that TWC may rely on use of those credentials as evidence of authorized access to your account-associated information. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your log-in credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, including any charges for goods or services, regardless of whether you authorized such activity, to the extent permitted by law. You are also responsible for ensuring that all use of your account complies fully with these Terms of Use. You may not share, transfer, or assign your account or credentials to any other person. If you believe your account or credentials have been compromised, you must notify TWC promptly.

C. You may have the option to create or sign in to an account using your existing Google, Apple, or other third party platform credentials (“Third Party Login”). By selecting this option, you authorize TWC to obtain and use certain information from your Third Party Login account, such as your name, email address, and profile information, as permitted by the third party provider’s terms and your privacy settings. Your use of any Third Party Login is also subject to that provider’s own terms of service and privacy policy. TWC is not responsible for the acts, omissions, or policies of any such third party provider, or for the security or integrity of credentials maintained by them. If you disconnect your Third Party Login or if access to that third party service is suspended or terminated, you may lose the ability to sign in to your TWC account using that method. However, your TWC account may remain active and accessible through alternative login methods, where available.

7. Subscriptions; Paid Services

A. General Terms and Conditions

Some portions of the Services are available without charge. However, certain features, products, or content are available only through the purchase of a subscription or other paid access (each, a “Subscription”), as described in the applicable offer terms or during the ordering process.

To purchase a Subscription, you must be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction (whichever is older). By purchasing a Subscription, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms of Use, which form a binding contract between you and TWC.

You may be required to register for an account with TWC in order to purchase a Subscription, as described in Section 6 (Account Registration and Management).

Each Subscription is for a single individual user. TWC reserves the right to suspend or disable access to a Subscription if it detects or reasonably suspects excessive concurrent sessions, account-credential sharing, or other unusual or unauthorized activity associated with the account.

Unless otherwise specified, Subscriptions apply only to the specific Service(s), features, or products identified in the applicable offer. If you purchase a Subscription described as “ad-free,” you may still receive advertising or promotional content within newsletters or other Services that are not covered by that Subscription.

Some Services may also contain embedded content from third party sites or services (e.g., YouTube). Such embedded content may include third party advertising or tracking that is outside TWC’s control. While standard third party ads are removed from Services covered by your ad-free Subscription, you may still encounter certain sponsored or promotional content, including information about TWC’s own products, features, or services; partnerships or sponsorships; and branded content clearly labeled as “Sponsored,” “Promotional,” or similar.

B. Purchases Through Third Party Platforms

You may purchase Subscriptions for TWC's Apps through the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store, or any other third party platform from which Subscriptions are offered (each a “Third Party Platform”). Purchases made through a Third Party Platform are: (i) governed by that Third Party Platform’s own terms and conditions; and (ii) billed directly by the Third Party Platform, which will automatically charge your credit or debit card or other payment method on file for an auto-renewing Subscription unless you cancel your Subscription by following the instructions provided by that platform. Your billing relationship is solely with the applicable Third Party Platform. Any questions or requests regarding purchases, billing, cancellations, or refunds must be directed to that platform in accordance with its policies and procedures. TWC does not control or manage your billing account with any Third Party Platform and is not responsible for the acts, omissions, errors, or policies of any such provider.

C. Subscription and Auto-Renewal (Site Purchases)

Subscriptions purchased through the Sites are provided for the billing period shown in the applicable offer or at checkout (e.g., monthly or annually) and, unless otherwise stated, automatically renew for successive periods of the same length, unless cancelled in accordance with the instructions for cancellation below. Payment for the first billing period in the amount shown to you at the time of purchase (plus applicable taxes) will be charged to your chosen payment method at confirmation of purchase, and because your Subscription automatically renews, payment for each additional billing period (plus applicable taxes) will then be charged at the start of each additional billing period, unless you cancel your Subscription in advance. For Subscriptions with a yearly billing period or longer, we will notify you of the pending renewal of your Subscription at least thirty (30) days prior to the date your Subscription renews, except as otherwise required by law. Unless we notify you in advance of a price change as further described below, the renewal rate for each additional billing period will be no more than the rate for the immediately prior billing period unless you received promotional or discount pricing as disclosed to you as part of a specific offer (for example, offers for a discounted first month or first year rate). At any time, you can stop your Subscription from renewing for an additional billing period after the then-current billing period by canceling your Subscription as described below.

D. Cancellation Policy (Site Purchases)

You may cancel the renewal of a Subscription purchased through the Sites at any time. If you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of your current billing period or free trial, the cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period or free trial, and your Subscription will not renew for an additional billing period. If you cancel fewer than 24 hours before the end of your current billing period or free trial, we may be unable to prevent the next renewal charge from processing, but your cancellation will take effect at the end of the subsequent billing period and will prevent any further renewals. As cancellation is effective at the end of the applicable period, you will not receive a prorated refund of charges for the then-current billing period, and you will continue to have access to your Subscription through the end of that period (for example, through the end of the month for a monthly Subscription, or through the end of the year for an annual Subscription), except as required by applicable law. If you are on a free trial, you must cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged for the first billing period.
