Acceptance
of Terms of Use
This Membership Terms & Use Agreement governs your
FamilySafeDVDs.com (FSD) and
TeenSafeDVDs.com (TSD)
Library usage and Web site access. By
using, visiting, or browsing our Web site, you accept and agree to be bound by
this agreement. If you do not accept these terms, then you should discontinue
your use of this service, since use of this site and service means you accept
this agreement.
This
agreement represents an ongoing contract between you and
FSD/TSD, and applies to your use of the service and Web site. These
Terms of Use affect your rights and you should read them carefully.
Just as it is your option to terminate your access at anytime,
we reserve the right to discontinue providing service to any access member who
repeatedly violates these terms. Determination
of when service is discontinued for violations remains solely at our
discretion.
Changes

FSD/TSD reserves the right, from
time to time, with or without notice to you, to change this agreement in our
sole and absolute discretion. The most current version can be reviewed by
clicking on the "Membership
Terms & Use"
link located at the bottom of any of our Web site pages. The most current
version of the Terms will supersede all previous versions. Your use of the Web
site or continued use of our service after changes are made means that you
agree to be bound by such changes. We will make every attempt to notify you via
email of any changes at such time as they occur, but we will not at any time
guarantee your receipt of such notifications.
Privacy
Any information submitted on the Web site is subject to our Privacy Policy, the
terms of which are incorporated herein. Please review our
Privacy Policy to understand our practices. The date of any changes
will be noted at the bottom of our Privacy Policy.
FSD/TSD
Access Membership
We are a
lending library and we feature films on DVD that are quality unedited
films as noted on the website.
A monthly fee is paid to FSD/TSD for access to the DVDs in
our library. The standard monthly fee is $14.95 (fourteen dollars and
95/100).
Your
payment each month entitles you to complete access to our selections featured
on our website, limited by the availability of the titles requested.
For this reason we recommend that you select multiple titles to enable
us to ship those that are on hand.
We will however make every attempt to ship them in order of preference.
We ship two films at the same time, and there are no time limits for you
to return them by mail in the enclosed return shipper.
We will notify you upon receipt of the titles, and when both are
received we will ship out the next two available on your list.
There
are no late fees at anytime. We recognize that from time to time things will
get lost in the mail or damaged as a result of shipping.
We will not charge you for occasional losses or damage, but reserve the
right to review the frequency of the losses at anytime.
Should there be more than three (3) losses in any twelve (12) month
consecutive period, then subsequent losses could result in the replacement
charge being paid by you for each subsequent loss as they occur. Your credit
card will be charged for the amount of the replacement.
Lost edited copies will include the cost of the original which will be
shipped to you at the time your card is charged.
Below
is a description concerning the operation of our service and we reserve the
right in our sole and absolute discretion to make changes from time to time and
without notice in how we operate our service.
Ø
Access As Many DVDs As You Want
Ø
Shipments are subject to availability, but usually occur in 1 business day
Ø
DVDs are shipped from the
US
Post Office in Rancho Santa Margarita
California
(Continental US Only)
Ø
No Due Dates or Late Fees
Provided
you continue to be a paying subscriber of our service, you may keep the DVDs
delivered to you as long as you like. We do not impose any required return
dates (other than upon cancellation of the service). You will be required to
return the movies within 7 days following any cancellation of the service or be
subject to charge for unreturned copy and/or the original, if applicable. If an
edited copy is not returned, then the original will be sent to you at the time
your card is charged, and you will be notified of the charge.
Your
Movie Selections
Movies
that you select to view will be placed into your own Library Cart. You may add
movies or adjust the Library Cart at
anytime. Click the “Library Cart”
tab to make adjustments, review requested movies or to see which movies you
currently have out. We will determine which movies to send you based on the
movies in your Library Cart and the
priority in which you have listed them. We will try to ship to you the movies
listed highest in your cart; however when availability is limited, we may ship
you movies lower on your list. At the time a movie is added to your Library
Cart, we will let you know if it’s in stock. A message indicating availability
will appear as you have selected a movie and it will also be stated in your
Library Cart so you can monitor
availability. Adjustments made to your Library Cart
may not immediately impact your next shipment. In certain instances you may
have adjusted your Library Cart before
you have received a shipment message when in fact a shipment was already
processed. The adjustments will, however, impact subsequent shipments.
Delivery
and Return of Accessed DVDs
We
reserve the right to allocate and ship DVDs to you in any manner that we, in
our sole and absolute discretion, determine. In addition, we will, in our sole
and absolute discretion, determine the quantity of DVDs we purchase for any
particular title and the level of staffing and number of shipments to be
processed at each distribution center. As a result, we may not always send you
the first choice from your Library Cart, and we may not ship out your next DVD
on the same day that we receive one from you. Our goal is to ship you the DVDs
listed highest in your Library Cart. Often, on the same day that we receive a
DVD from you, we will ship the next available DVD from your Library Cart. In
certain instances, your next available DVD will not ship until the next
business day following our receipt of your returned movie.
In
determining priority for shipping and inventory allocation, we give priority to
those members who receive the fewest DVDs through our service. As a result,
those subscribers who receive the most movies may experience next-day shipping
and receive movies lower in their Library
Cart more often than our other subscribers.
Other
factors that may affect delivery times, include, but are not limited to, a)
your address and location b) the timing of your placement or adjustment of
movies in your Library Cart and c)
circumstances impacting delivery by the U.S. Postal Service.
We
do not process returns or deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Holidays. We will
send you an e-mail letting you know when we have received a returned movie, and
we will also send you another e-mail letting you know when we have shipped your
next DVD, including the anticipated time of delivery.
Advance
Shipping Feature
The Advance Shipping feature, located in the My Account section of the website,
allows subscribers to release next available titles, to a maximum of four ( 4 )
DVDs out at all times. Subscribers can use this feature to notify us when they
have shipped DVDs back to us; or the feature may be used to simply release the
next available titles, based upon library cart ranking and availability. Use of
this feature is subject to the terms and conditions stated in this agreement. A
notification of advanced shipment does not constitute a receipt on the part of
FSD, and the DVD remains the subscriber’s responsibility until the DVD is
physically received by us and posted as returned in our warehouse.
Access
and Billing
You can find the specific details regarding your subscription with Family Safe
DVDs at anytime by clicking on the "My Account" link, located at the top of the
pages of the FamilySafeDVDs or TeenSafeDVDs Web site.
We
will begin billing your Payment Method for monthly access fees plus any
applicable tax at the time you sign up and each month after that until the
account is canceled. You may cancel your access at anytime.
Billing
By
using the FSD/TSD service, you are
expressly agreeing that we are permitted to bill you a monthly access fee, any
applicable tax and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use
of the service. Additional charges may include gift subscription purchases you
make, or movies you fail to return. As used in these Terms of Use, "billing"
shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your credit
card. The access fee will be billed at the beginning of your access and on each
monthly renewal thereafter unless and until you cancel your access. We will
automatically bill your credit card each month on the calendar day
corresponding to the commencement of your access. In the event your access
began on a day not contained in a given month, we will bill your credit card on
the last day of such month. For example, if you became a paying member on
January 31st, your credit card would next be billed on February 28th. All fees
and charges are nonrefundable. We may change the fees and charges in effect, or
add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will give you advance notice
of these changes by e mail. If you want to use a different credit card or if
there is a change in your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit
your account information by clicking on the "My Account" button, available at
the top of the pages of the FamilySafeDVDs or TeenSafeDVDs Web sites. If your
credit card reaches its expiration date, your continued use of the service
constitutes your authorization for us to continue billing that credit card. If
charges are not accepted, then access will be denied.
Automatic
Renewals
Your
library membership will be automatically renewed on a monthly basis. For your
convenience, we will bill the monthly access fee plus any applicable tax to the
credit card you provide to us during registration (or to a different credit
card if you change your account information). Your access will automatically
renew without prior notice to you, unless and until you cancel your access or
we terminate it. You must cancel your access before it renews each month in
order to avoid billing of the next month's subscription fees to your Payment
Method.
Money
Back Guarantee
You will receive a
full refund of your fee if you elect to cancel your subscription within the
first thirty (30) days of your membership, regardless of the reason.
Your outstanding DVDs must be returned and marked received before the
cancellation and refund will be processed, and the standard rules of
cancellation apply.
Cancellation
You
may cancel your library membership at anytime, and cancellation will be
effective once your outstanding DVDs have been received. Access will continue
for the remainder of the month if a fee has been collected. To cancel, click
the word "Cancel" on the "My Account" page and follow the instructions for
cancellation under the heading "Cancel Access." WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR
CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-MONTH FEE PERIODS OR UNWATCHED MOVIES. Upon
cancellation, you will be given seven (7) days to return any outstanding DVDs.
Failure to return such DVDs will result in your credit card being billed for
the unreturned copies and their corresponding originals, if applicable.
The originals will be sent to you through the
US
mail. We reserve the right to terminate your account for any or no reason.
Account
Access; Identity Protection
In order to provide you with easy access to your account we will place a cookie
(a small text file) on any computer from which you access our Web site. When
you revisit the web site, this cookie will enable us to recognize you as the
account holder and provide you with direct access to your account without
requiring you to retype any password or other user identification. You are
responsible for updating and maintaining the truth and accuracy of the
information you provide to us relating to your account. You are also
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password
and for restricting access to your computer. You may choose to share your
account with other people by providing them your password; when doing so, you
take full responsibility for their actions. Users of public or shared computers
should log out at the completion of each visit to the FamilySafeDVDS or
TeenSafeDVDs Web sites.
If
you find that you're a victim of identity theft and it involves a
FSD/TSD account, you should notify customer service, your credit card
issuers, and your local law enforcement agency.
FSD/TSD reserves the right to place any account on hold anytime with or
without notification to the subscriber in order to protect itself and its
partners from what it believes to be fraudulent activity.
FSD/TSD is not obligated to credit or discount an access membership for
holds placed on the account by either a representative of
FSD/TSD or by the automated processes of
FSD/TSD.

Referring
a New Member
We encourage you to refer new members to our site, and each who signs up will
receive a credit for one month’s access fee provided they input your name in
the Name of Referrer field at the
time they are signing up. As a
thank you from us to you for making the referral, we are offering the following
reward options:
Option
A – One new member referred ($14.95 value):
The referring member will receive a one month credit to their access fee within
thirty (30) days of the first paid subscription month of the new subscriber.
This is the default option and will be processed unless a referring
member notifies us of their wish to exercise either of the two options listed
below. Referring members can
notify us by email at Librarian@familysafedvds.com
if they wish to forgo Option A and accumulate referrals to be used for either
of Option B or Option C.
Option
B – Five new members referred ($75.00 value):
Members who refer five (5) new subscribers and choose Option B can
choose to have a new DVD player sent to their home, or they can choose five
free months of library access, one month to be credited to their account for
five (5) consecutive months. This option can be exercised within thirty (30)
days following the first paid subscription month of the fifth subscriber.
Option
C – Ten new subscribers ($180.00 value):
Members
who refer 10 new subscribers and choose Option C will receive a twelve (12)
month subscription at no charge. This
option can be exercised within thirty (30) days following the first paid month
of the tenth referred subscriber.
Note:
Option B and Option C have a one year maximum time limit to complete the option
requirements. In the event a
referring member falls short of the option requirements, FSD can, at its sole
discretion extend the time to a mutually agreed upon limit provided the
referring member makes the request before the expiration date.
If no request is made, then the referring member will receive one month
free access for each new paid member he or she has referred.
Access will be credited to the member’s account on monthly basis until
the referring member receives full credit for each member referred.
No cash will be awarded under any circumstances, and if a referring
member elects to cancel their membership prior to full credit being received,
the remaining balance goes to zero immediately upon cancellation.
Members
who opted for Option C and fell short but exceeded the requirements for Option
B can elect to receive a DVD player and receive credit for any new members
signed over the five members required for Option B.
Disputes
You agree that the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California and/or the California Superior Court for the
County
of
Orange
shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute between you and
FSD/TSD relating in any way to the FSD/TSD
service or Web site or these Terms of Use. You and
FSD/TSD expressly and irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction and
venue in these courts.
