General Subscription Terms and Conditions for DAZN START Annual - Single Payment Option
Effective from August 13, 2024
1. About Us
1.1. Good morning and welcome to the world of DAZN. We are a service that offers our users streaming access to a wide range of sports events from around the world on a variety of internet-connected devices, including TVs, PCs, and other platforms ("DAZN Service"). To enhance the user's experience of the DAZN Service, suggestions for events that the user may be interested in and other interesting sports-related information will also be provided.
1.2. The DAZN Service is provided by DAZN Limited (formerly Perform Investment Limited) ("We", "Us"). We (and not an external payment service provider) are solely responsible for providing the DAZN Service and its application.
1.3 DAZN guarantees users' rights to adequate and transparent information as expressly provided for in the Service Charter, which is fully incorporated by reference into the terms of use.
2. Main Usage Conditions
2.1. We provide an online video offering (among other things) streaming of sports events (both live and on demand), news about sports events, and other related content, the composition and availability of which may vary over time (collectively, the "Content"). The Content is normally subject to certain limitations (including, for example, territorial limitations). You will be able to access and use the DAZN Service in any country where the same Service is available, even though the Content (and the language in which it is available) may vary from one territory to another. If, based on our verification, you are entitled to portability (see our FAQ for more information), you will be able to access and use the DAZN Service in the case of temporary presence in another Member State of the European Economic Area ("EEA"), regardless of whether the DAZN Service is normally available in that EEA Member State.
2.2. Before activating the DAZN Service, the user is invited to read these Terms and Conditions of Use ("Terms"). We would like to emphasize that any offer, promotion, or discount that the user may receive may be subject to additional contractual conditions that replace or supplement these Terms. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the additional conditions, the latter shall prevail.
2.3. We may make changes to these Terms, such as, for example, in cases of changes to the range of sports events included in the DAZN Service, changes to ensure better functionality of the DAZN Service, unforeseen technical and/or economic needs, changes in commercial policies and/or technical changes to the platform for the provision of the DAZN Service, changes in market conditions, or the need to address security needs or issues, including abusive and/or fraudulent phenomena that have occurred in the use of the DAZN Service. Any changes to these Terms will be notified to the user via email at the most recent address we have on file. Any changes to the payment terms will also be communicated directly to the user using the same methods. These communications will clearly state the changes in question, which will be valid thirty (30) days after the communication, and the reason for the changes. The user may terminate their contract without penalties within sixty (60) days of the communication if they do not wish to accept the proposed contractual changes, in accordance with Article 4.8. In the absence of such a termination notice within the aforementioned period, the contractual changes will be considered accepted. Notwithstanding the above, changes made to comply with the law, including regulatory changes, or to comply with instructions from Institutions or Public Authorities, and finally, changes that exclusively improve the user's enjoyment of the service may take immediate effect and the aforementioned informative notice will not be necessary; in the event of termination by the customer, the costs provided for in the signed contract will be due.
2.4. The DAZN Service and all content viewed through it are for personal and non-commercial use only. By subscribing to the DAZN Service, the user obtains a limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license to access the DAZN Service and view the Content exclusively through streaming. Except for this limited license, no other rights, interests, or ownership will be transferred to the user. The user agrees not to use the DAZN Service for public performances.
2.5. The offer subscribed with us is subject to authorization, by the respective supported payment service provider, for all payments due from time to time, or to the validity of the user's promotional code, and is at all times subject to these Conditions. Please note that payments will be handled by a payment service provider located in the EU.
2.6. The user agrees that we may share information with third parties who hold rights in relation to the Content viewed by the user during the use of the DAZN Service. Such information will be shared on an anonymous basis.
2.7. We may terminate the existing contract with the user at any time by written communication via email with at least sixty (60) days' notice prior to the end of the current offer period. This does not affect the right to terminate for just cause under Article 8.2.
3. Duration of the contract
The contract will last for one year from the date of service activation and will be tacitly renewed from year to year unless terminated earlier or on expiry.
If the user has chosen Klarna "Pay in 3" as payment method, accepting its terms and conditions, this contract will last for one year from the date of service activation. If the user, prior to the expiration of the subscription plan, updates the payment method by choosing an alternative payment option to Klarna "Pay in 3", this agreement shall be deemed to be tacitly renewed from year to year unless terminated earlier or cancelled upon expiration. The renewal amount will be charged via the new chosen payment method.
4. Free trial period
4.1. If the user takes advantage of an offer with a free trial period of the DAZN Service, this free trial period will be specified to the user during the subscription process. The user may receive offers and discounts related to the DAZN Service at any time. These offers may not be valid for the user's specific account.
4.2. At the end of the free trial period, and unless the offer is cancelled before the end of the free trial period, the user's Payment Method (as defined below) will be charged for the annual amount of the offer. To view the annual cost of the service and the expiration date of the free trial period, visit the website and click on the "My Account" page. If the DAZN Service has been subscribed using one's own account indicating a third party as the Payment Method, it may be necessary to cancel according to Article 6.2.
5. Economic aspects
5.1. All expenses related to the use of the DAZN Service will be fully borne by the user.
5.2. The activation of the offer will only cover access to the DAZN Service. Costs related to the telephone line and other possible communication or access costs will be charged separately to the user by their ISP or service provider. All our prices include taxes (VAT/ MwSt / CT or other similar taxes in other territories or jurisdictions) according to the applicable rates at any given time.
5.3. Payments must be made by credit card, debit card, PayPal or other accepted, valid and current payment method, including supported third-party payment service providers ("Payment Method"). Payments for the residential subscription contract can be made in a single payment, at the time of service activation, unless otherwise specified. The user confirms that they are the holder of the Payment Method used, or that they have authorization to use it from the card or account holder. All accounts and Payment Methods are subject to authorization and validity checks by their respective provider. In case of rejection of the Payment Method used, access to the DAZN Service will not be allowed until a valid Payment Method is provided by the user and approved by us. For some Payment Methods, the issuer may charge certain costs, such as currency transaction fees or other expenses related to the processing of the Payment Method. Locally applied tax charges vary depending on the Payment Method used. Please check the details with your Payment Method provider.
5.4. We reserve the right to refuse payments that do not comply with applicable laws.
5.5. You can view the next payment date and change the payment method by accessing the "My Account" link on our website or through our app. If you subscribe to the DAZN Service using a third-party account as the Payment Method, you may need to access that account to view payment information and change the payment method.
5.6. For residential subscriptions, invoices will be sent to the user's available email address upon request. In the event of late payment, DAZN reserves the right to suspend the service. This can only be reactivated after DAZN verifies that all outstanding amounts have been paid.
5.7 Subject to what is provided in the previous Article 2.3, we may modify our service plans from time to time.
5.8. Notwithstanding Article 2.3, we reserve the right to increase the price of the DAZN Service. Any price increases will be notified to the user via email at the most recent address we have on file. Such communications will clearly state the increases in question and the sixty (60) day period from the communication within which the user may terminate their contract without penalties, if they do not wish to accept the proposed price changes, which will come into effect thirty (30) days after the communication. In the absence of such a termination notice within the aforementioned period, the aforementioned changes will be considered accepted.
6. User's withdrawal
6.1. The user can withdraw from the DAZN Service by logging into the "My Account" page and clicking on the "Do not renew" button. The request for withdrawal from the DAZN Service can be made at any time prior to its expiration. The withdrawal will be effective at the end of the following calendar year from the date of the request, and access to the Service will be allowed until the aforementioned deadline.
6.2. In case the user has subscribed to the DAZN Service using their own account indicating a third party as the Payment Method, it will only be possible to subscribe to this subscription contract through a single payment of the due amounts, and it will not be possible to choose the monthly payment contract. Furthermore, if the user wishes to withdraw from the DAZN Service subscribed through a third party, it may be necessary to proceed through that third party, for example by accessing their account and deselecting the "automatic renewal" option, or by canceling the subscription to the DAZN Service through that third party, subject to the provisions of Article 15 that follows.
7. Exercise of the Right of Withdrawal
Without prejudice to what is provided in section 7.2, the user may terminate the contract without giving reasons within fourteen (14) days from the day of contract subscription. To exercise the right of withdrawal, click on the "Help" button on the DAZN website homepage and select the "Contact Us" option. You will be guided through a quick system to fill out your request, so you can exercise the right of withdrawal directly from your computer or through the DAZN app. Alternatively, you can send a clear message to DAZN Limited, Piazza San Babila n. 3, 20122 Milan (MI), in this regard (e.g. via registered mail with return receipt or email to help@DAZN.com) using the appropriate form available at the link https://www.dazn.com/help . The deadline will be considered met if the withdrawal communication is sent before the expiration of the period in which this right of withdrawal can be exercised. In case the user has subscribed to the DAZN Service using their own account indicating a third party as the Payment Method and wishes to terminate the DAZN Service, it may be necessary to proceed through that third-party Payment Method.
7.1. Consequences of Exercising the Right of Withdrawal
In case of exercising the Right of Withdrawal within fourteen days from the subscription of the contract, of non-use of the service by the customer, and without prejudice to what is provided in the following Article 7.2, the user will receive the deactivation of the service and the possible refund of the payments received by us within fourteen (14) days from the receipt of the relevant notice. Unless otherwise agreed, for the possible refund the same payment method used for the original transaction will be used; in no case will refund penalties be applied.
7.2. Expiration of the Right of Withdrawal
The right of withdrawal will no longer apply if the execution of the contract by us begins after the user (i) has expressly consented to the start of the execution of the contract by us before the deadline for exercising the right of withdrawal, and (ii) has accepted that with their consent they would lose the possibility of exercising their right of withdrawal within fourteen days following the subscription of the contract.
8. Technical Requirements
8.1. It is the user's responsibility to ensure the possession and maintenance of the hardware and software necessary for accessing, receiving, and viewing the DAZN Service.
8.2. We will do our best to ensure that the DAZN Service is always available. However, the DAZN Service is provided under the current conditions, without any further guarantees ("as is"), therefore, without prejudice to Articles 7.4 and 12, we cannot be held responsible towards the user for, for example, the cancellation or interruption of an event, or the failure to broadcast a scheduled or advertised event, or the user's inability to view an event on a specific platform device, for reasons not attributable to DAZN.
8.3. From time to time, we may need to suspend the DAZN Service for maintenance or updates. We will make every effort to minimize such suspensions.
8.4. We commit to providing the DAZN Service with reasonable care and professionalism. Outside of this, we do not make any statements or warranties (and, subject to Article 12, we exclude all other warranties and conditions otherwise implied, to the maximum extent permitted by law).. This does not affect any other rights that the user may have as a consumer under the law. We (and not any third-party payment service provider) will be the recipients of any claims that the user or a third party may have in relation to the DAZN Service, its use, and/or the amounts charged.
8.5. If the user believes they are entitled to a refund due to non-compliance of the DAZN Service with applicable guarantees, we invite them to follow the refund procedure as indicated in the DAZN Service Charter available on the website and DAZN app, or to contact us by selecting the "Contact Us" option on our website or app1. If the user has subscribed to the DAZN Service using a third-party payment service provider, such non-compliance may be notified to the third-party payment service provider, and the latter may refund the user the amount paid. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no other warranty or obligation of any kind in relation to the DAZN Service is attributable to such third-party payment service provider. Any refunds will be processed through the user's chosen Payment Method.
8.6. The quality of streaming sports events may vary from computer to computer and from device to device, and may be influenced by a variety of factors, such as the user's location, available bandwidth, and/or internet connection speed.
8.7. The DAZN Service provides content in HD. The minimum recommended download speed depends on the type of device used, as illustrated in the following link: https://www.dazn.com/help/articles/how-fast-does-my-internet-need-to-be-it .
