The Divx Customer Account Agreement
DIVX CUSTOMER ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
Important: To use Divx Discs and the Divx feature on the DVD Player you have purchased, you
will need to register your Player and open an account with Divx.
DIVX DISCS AND YOUR DIVX-FEATURED DVD PLAYER MAY ONLY BE USED BY
INDIVIDUALS FOR NON-COMMERCIAL HOME USE. A DIVX ACCOUNT MAY ONLY
BE ESTABLISHED AND USED BY INDIVIDUALS FOR NON-COMMERCIAL HOME USE.
1.You Need A Divx Account. You must open and maintain a Divx Account to use Divx Discs
and the Divx feature on your Player. There is currently no charge either to register your
Player or to open and maintain your Divx Account. You will be able to view a standard
DVD disc on your Player without a Divx Account.
2.Opening Your Divx Account. To open a Divx Account, you must provide Divx with the
account number of either a valid credit card from MasterCard, VISA, Discover or
American Express or a valid off-line debit card from MasterCard or VISA (Visa Check or
Master Money).
3.Divx Account Charges. All charges made to your Divx Account will be billed to the credit
card or off-line debit card you provide to open and maintain your Divx Account. You agree
to pay all legitimate charges billed to your credit card or off-line debit card for chargeable
activity on any Player registered to your Divx Account, as well as all applicable taxes, if
any.
You will incur charges to your Divx Account if: -a limited play Divx Disc is replayed
for a subsequent viewing period on a Player registered to your Divx Account; a
limited play Divx Disc is converted to a DivxSilver Disc on a Player registered to
your Divx Account;
a Divx Disc is ordered for purchase through a Player registered to your Divx
Account; or
other products or services are ordered or purchased either through a Player registered
to your Divx Account or through the Divx web site or by telephone to Divx.
The specific charge for each transaction described above will be communicated to
you at the time you incur the charge, either by display on your television screen from
your Player or on the Divx web site or verbally during your telephone call with Divx.
Passwords can be used to ensure only authorized charges are incurred.
4.Payment of Divx Account Charges. Your Divx Account charges will be billed directly to
your credit card or off-line debit card, and you will make payments directly to the issuer of
your card and not to Divx. You may review the details of your billed Divx Account
charges through your Player by selecting the "Statement Review" option on the Divx Setup
Menu of your Player.
5.Remedies for Nonpayment. If Divx is ever notified by your credit card or off-line debit
card issuer that a charge to your Divx Account will not be paid because (a) your credit
card or off-line debit card is invalid, (b) the charges exceed your maximum credit or
off-line debit limit, or (c) your bank or credit card issuer fails or refuses to pay a charge
for any other reason, unless you pay the amount of such charge to us promptly after we
notify you of such refusal, then Divx may, in its sole discretion and in a commercially
reasonable fashion, immediately suspend your Divx Account, which will restrict your
ability to play Divx Discs. Suspension of your Divx Account may also result in the
imposition of reactivation fees upon the reinstatement of your Divx Account.
6.Questions about Statement. If you believe that a charge to your Divx Account is incorrect
or if you need additional information about an item on your statement, you may contact the
Divx Customer Service Center by calling the toll-free number on your player or by
contacting our web site at www.divx.com.
7.Closing Your Divx Account. You may close your Divx Account at any time by notifying the
Divx Customer Service Center by calling the toll-free number found on your player and by
following the directions of the customer service representative assisting with your Divx
Account termination. You will remain responsible for all charges from any Player
registered to your Divx Account until your termination date.
8.No Credit Extension; No Interest. You acknowledge and agree that Divx does not extend
credit to customers and that any charges or fees assessed for suspension-reinstatement,
re-enabling, or reactivation of your Divx Account are not interest charges.
9.Collection of Amounts Owed to Divx. If Divx chooses to use any collection agency or
attorney to collect money that you owe Divx or to assert any other right that Divx may have
against you, you agree to pay the reasonable costs of collection or other action including,
but not limited to, the costs of a collection agency, reasonable attorneys' fees, and court
costs, as provided by applicable law.
10.Interruption of Service. DIVX IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INTERRUPTIONS OF
SERVICE THAT ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ACTS OF GOD, FAILURE OF POWER OR TELEPHONE LINES, OR
ANY OTHER CAUSE. DIVX SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR COSTS OF
PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, IF ANY, NOR FOR ANY
LOSS OF LIFE, OR OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED OR ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF
DIVX HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, AND
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED
REMEDY. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
REGARDING THE SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS

DIVX DISCS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY RIGHTS AND REMEDIES WITH
RESPECT TO THE PLAYER MUST BE RESOLVED DIRECTLY WITH THE
MANUFACTURER OF SUCH PLAYER.
11.Liability for Unauthorized Use. If your Player is stolen or otherwise removed from your
possession without your authorization, you agree to notify the Divx Customer Service
Center at the toll-free number found in your player's manual or by e-mailing
security@divx.com immediately, but in any event not more than twenty-four (24) hours
after you become aware of such removal, or you may be liable for payment to Divx for
charges incurred from unauthorized use of your Player.
12.Rules for Use; Termination of Service by Divx. You agree to comply with the following

(a) Divx Discs may be utilized for noncommercial private home use only.

If Divx determines that you are not complying with the rules of use in this Section 12,
as such may be amended from time to time by Divx, or any other of your obligations
under this Agreement, Divx may immediately suspend your Divx Account. If your
Divx Account is suspended, this Agreement, including the indemnification obligations

give us prompt notice of any change of your name, billing address, address of home where
the Player(s) is permanently located, telephone number, telephone number associated with
your Player(s), and any change to the card account number upon which charges to your
Divx Account are billed. You may do this by calling the Divx Customer Service Center at
the toll-free number found on your player or contacting our web site at www.divx.com. If
you owe an amount directly to Divx, Divx may sell, assign, or transfer your account to a
third party without notice to you.
15.Sale or Transfer of Player. You agree to notify the Divx Customer Service Center
immediately, but in any event not more than twenty-four (24) hours after you sell, give
