Digital product terms of sale
The following terms and conditions (the “Digital Product Terms of Sale”) govern the manner in which you purchase Digital Products from Merrithew. Merrithew offers various digital products for purchase (“Purchased Content”) and rental (“Rental Content”) on the Site (the “Digital Product(s)”). Use of Digital Products is deemed to be your consent to the Terms (of which these Digital Product Terms of Sale form a part).
All sales are final, except as otherwise described in these Terms or as otherwise decided in Merrithew’s sole discretion. If we are unable to complete your order due to the unavailability or discontinuance of a Digital Product, we may provide you with a credit for the value of the purchased product. The Digital Products are offered for purchase and rental to non-commercial end customers only. In addition to these Digital Product Terms of Sale, your purchase or rental of any Digital Product, or your participation in any promotion or discount, may be subject to any terms and conditions which are specified on the Site at the time you place an order to purchase a Digital Product or participate in any promotion or discount. Merrithew reserves the right to limit quantities of the Digital Products which are available for sale or which each customer may buy.
Merrithew reserves the right to reject, cancel, correct and/or terminate any order for any reason whatsoever in our sole discretion. Should there be an error in the price of the Digital Product, we will notify you, and you may either choose not to purchase the Digital Product, or purchase the Digital Product at the correct price. Until you receive an email from us confirming that your order has been processed, no legally binding or enforceable contract exists between you and Merrithew. We do not represent, warrant or otherwise guarantee the length of time it will take for your order to be processed.
To purchase or rent Digital Products for downloading or streaming, you will be required to create an account and agree to the Agreement. The account information is used to enable you to download or stream your Digital Products, manage your Digital Products and your devices, and receive updates related to hardware, software or content license updates. The Agreement governs the use of Digital Products and any applications that facilitate viewing, playback or access to the Digital Product. You must be online, with an internet connection and logged onto your Merrithew account to access your Digital Product.
- Rental Content
When you rent a Digital Product, you may view such item of content an unlimited number of times during the period of time specified on the transaction page displayed at the time of your payment (“Viewing Period”) and noted in your confirmation email. Each Digital Product may have a different Viewing Period, and the Viewing Period will be shown to you before you order it. Pausing, stopping or rewinding Digital Products will not extend your applicable Viewing Period for that Digital Product
- Purchased Content
When you purchase a Digital Product, you may view such item of content an unlimited number of times for as long as the rights exist to provide you with that content (“Access Period”). Each Digital Product may have a different Access Period. Pausing, stopping or rewinding Digital Products will not extend your applicable Access Period for that Digital Product
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold Merrithew harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from or related to your use of the Site and any Digital Products sold via this site.
Termination
These terms are effective unless and until terminated by either you or Merrithew. You may terminate this Agreement at any time, provided that you discontinue any further use of this Site. Merrithew also may terminate this Agreement at any time and may do so immediately without notice, and accordingly deny you access to the Site, if in Merrithew’s sole discretion you fail to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement. Upon any termination of the Agreement by either you or Merrithew, you must promptly destroy all materials downloaded or otherwise obtained from this Site, as well as all copies of such materials, whether made under the terms of use or otherwise.
