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.

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

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.

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.
