- BlazeTV+ allows users to access Blaze News (as described above) in addition to viewing BlazeTV episodes and content we broadcast via the Site and the Services during the applicable subscription period (excepting limited content that is available only as an add-on bundle as described below). We make no guarantee as to the availability of any particular episode or content of BlazeTV or the total number of episodes or amount of content to be broadcast.
When you purchase a subscription through the Site or the Services, you agree to pay the applicable subscription fee, as well as any applicable taxes and renewal charges as described below. If we are unable to charge your credit card or other payment method, your subscription will automatically terminate.
We may increase our subscription prices at any time; however, we will give you at least thirty (30) days' advance notice of any price increase, and the price increase will not apply until your current subscription period has concluded. This will give you an opportunity to cancel your subscription, as described below, before the price increase takes effect. You are responsible for your own cellular data fees and internet service provider fees.
Free Trial Period
Your subscription may begin with a free trial; provided, however that you may only sign up for a free trial one time every 365 days. We will begin charging for your selected subscription at the end of the free trial period and the date of such charge will be considered your purchase date for purposes of subscription period calculations. You may not receive a notice from us that your free trial period has ended. TO AVOID BEING CHARGED, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION BEFORE THE END OF THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD.

Professional Discount
Students, first responders, active military members, and veterans may obtain a discount on the first year of their annual BlazeTV subscription as advertised from time to time by us. In order to qualify, you must verify your identity and eligibility through our service provider ID.me. Our eligibility decisions are final.

Your interactions with such third-party application stores and the manufacturer of the device you are using will be governed by their respective terms of use and privacy policies. They may have payment and refund policies that differ from ours. We are not responsible for any actions, content of websites, terms of use, privacy policies, or other policies of such third parties.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent Blaze Media LLC may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any implied warranty or limit its liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of Blaze Media LLC's liability will be the minimum permitted under such law.

Any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or related to these Terms (or the interpretation, performance, or breach of them), the Site, or the Services, including but not limited to alleged violations of state or federal statutory or common law rights or duties (a "Dispute") shall be solely and exclusively resolved according to the procedures set forth in this paragraph. If we are unable to resolve any Dispute through informal means, either party may initiate binding arbitration of such Dispute. The arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to the JAMS/Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect as of the date hereof, including the Optional Appeal Procedure provided for in such rules (the "Arbitration Rules").

These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or provisions.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provisions. It is the parties' intention that the court or arbitrator modify such invalid provision to give it the fullest effect permissible under applicable law.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not act as a waiver of such right or provision and will not prevent us from enforcing such right or provision or any other right or provision in the future.
These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted to you hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without our written permission. We may assign or transfer our rights, licenses, and obligations under these Terms without restriction, including without limitation in connection with a merger, acquisition, a sale of assets or by operation of law.
