AGE:
User must be 18 years of age or older to receive a membership and become a User or to purchase any training material. By agreeing to the Terms of Use, you certify that you are 18 years old or older. You may, however, allow your children to select DVDs for rental, so long as you agree to be responsible for their actions and bound by these Terms and Conditions with respect to your children.

PRIVACY POLICY:
BowWowFlix.com will not sell, share, or rent any User information to other organizations in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. User information includes but is not limited to: e-mail addresses, phone numbers, or mailing addresses provided to BowWowFlix.com. This information is only for use internally. We use the personal information you provide for internal purposes, such as confirming and tracking your order, subscription or registration, analyzing trends and statistics, informing you of our new products, services and offers, and providing you with information from and about BowWowFlix.com.

CARE OF RENTAL MERCHANDISE:
As you might be aware, dog training DVDs are pretty expensive and cost a lot more than your general Hollywood movie DVDs. You agree to treat the DVDs (and any accompanying packaging or instructions) appropriately, giving them the care you would give to your beloved dog. When not in use, always keep the disc stored in the paper sleeve envelope that it arrived in to avoid scratches. If there are fingerprints or smudges you feel affect the playback of the DVD, CAREFULLY wipe the disc with a clean, SCRATCH-FREE cloth (such as a lens cloth). Never leave a DVD in extreme hot or cold temperatures. Always grasp a DVD disc by the top or sides and avoid touching the bottom of the DVD. All DVDs MUST be returned in original packaging. The packaging is there for a reason, to prevent the DVD from scratches and breakage during transit.

DVD RENTAL RETURN POLICY:
All DVDs MUST be returned in their original packaging. We either ship a DVD in a Tyvek sleeve (which is a special scratch-free resistant paper) or a plastic case. These packaging materials MUST be returned with the DVD. Please do not return a DVD directly in the mailer with no protection. DVDs scratch very easily, especially when jostled around in the USPS mail system. If you ship a DVD back without the packaging and it arrives broken or scratched beyond repair because you neglected to include the required packaging, you will be billed for the replacement value of that DVD. Thanks for your adherence and understanding.

MEMBERSHIP BILLING AND MEMBER REQUIREMENTS:
You are billed on the day you sign up and every 30 days afterwards until you cancel. All fees and charges are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. When you sign up to become a BowWowFlix member, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge you a monthly subscription fee and any applicable sales tax. You agree to always have a valid credit card on file while you are an active member. You are an active member until all DVDs are returned back to us. This means if the card you have provided cannot be processed for various reasons (expired, lost, stolen, funding issues), you agree to update your credit card via My Account on our secured server with a valid billing card within 7 days of notification or all DVDs must be promptly shipped back to us and received by us within 10 days. You authorize us to charge you for replacement retail value of the DVD for any DVDs you lose or damage or any unreturned DVDs if you decide to cancel your membership or if you fail to update your billing in a timely manner.(see Membership Billing Declines and Requirements directly below).

MEMBERSHIP BILLING DECLINES AND REQUIREMENTS:
If your billing card card is declined, we will attempt to process the card again in 1 week. If the card is declined a second time, we will contact you via email and notify you that your card has been declined and that you have 7 days to update your billing card via My Account on our Secured Server. If you cannot or are unwilling to update your billing card, all DVD rentals must be received back to us within 10 days. It is important that you respond to all email communication. We also may contact you by the phone number we have on record. You agree to ensure that your member contact information is always current via your Member Profile. If you fail to respond to any of our communication attempts via the timeframes we provide, we will take more formal action (collections/litigation) to recur our merchandise or replacement value. If you have a DVD disc that is part of a set, that means you are responsible for the retail replacement value of the entire DVD set as we cannot purchase a single disc in a set to replace it. Please note that keeping our merchandise and failing to return it is the same as stealing. We do not take these issues lightly due to the expense of our DVDs and please note by consenting to our terms and conditions, you are consenting to a legal and binding rental policy between you and BowWowFlix.

CHANGES IN MEMBERSHIP PLANS:
Members may change plans at any time by clicking on the "My Account" button and then clicking on the "Upgrade/Downgrade Subscription" link. "Upgrades" in plans are automatically processed and DVDs will ship the next business day. The members will be immediately billed for the difference of the Upgrade plan. "Downgrades" in plans will take affect as soon as the discs are received back by us to justify the difference in the downgrade plan. (for example, if you downgrade from 4 to 2 discs, 2 discs must be received back to us before your plan is downgraded to the 2 disc plan. Again, no refunds for partial months of use will be credited. Future billing cycles will be billed at the new rate. So please be aware of your billing date and keep this in mind when upgrading or downgrading a rental plan.

MEMBER CANCELLATIONS:
Members may cancel their subscription at any time by logging onto clicking on the "My Account" button and then clicking on "Cancel Subscription" link. Please note that there are no refunds or credits for partial periods or unused rental program periods. If you cancel and still have DVD titles out, you will still get billed if they are not returned before your next billing cycle. A DVD is still considered "rented out" until it is returned back since we cannot rent it to other members.

RENTAL PERIOD:
There are NO LATE FEES for DVD rentals and there is NO TIME LIMIT to how long you keep the DVDs in your possession when you rent from BowWowFlix! This applies as long as your Membership is "Active" and in good standing, (which means that your billing is current.)

DVD RENTAL PROBLEMS OR ISSUES:
Any DVD rental related issues MUST be filed be using the "Report a Problem" link located at the top of your queue. We ship and receive many DVDs on a daily basis. These issues must be streamlined in our online rental system. This pertains to DVD issues such as: DVDs that won't play, DVDs that skip/stutter, If you lost the return mailer, If you broke or damaged the DVD, If you have not received the DVD or we have not received the DVD back. **Please note that non-received DVD issues should not be filed until a minimum of 7 days from when the DVD was shipped. It is up to you to file the problem report to notify us of these issues. Because there are no time limitations on rentals, we are not privy to mail transit issues, so communication is key.

DAMAGE TO MERCHANDISE:
If a DVD is returned damaged or destroyed (for example, if your dog ate it or your kid's broke it), including because it was lost, damaged or destroyed in transit because you did not properly secure the package or ship the DVD back in it's accompanying packaging (which would either be a hard case or scratch-resistant paper Tyvek sleeve), you will pay for the replacement cost which will be the full retail value of the DVD title (including taxes and shipping), and you authorize us to charge your credit card account for that cost. We do not charge our members for postal damage. However, if you fail to ship the DVD back in it's original packaging and the DVD is damaged beyond repair because of this, you will be charged the replacement retail value. So PLEASE ship the DVDs back in the packaging it came in.

TERMINATION OF USAGE:
BowWowFlix may terminate User access, or suspend any User's access to all or part of BowWowFlix, without notice, for any conduct that BowWowFlix, in its sole discretion, believes is in violation of any applicable law or is harmful to the interests of another User, a third-party Provider, a Merchant, a Sponsor, a Licensor, a service provider or BowWowFlix.
