By registering on the watchingTVabroad.com website or by concluding a Contract, the User expresses his consent with all the personal data he has stated and filled in at registration being processed for the following purposes: A) the performance of the Contract concluded between the User and the Provider; and B) the sending of commercial messages from the Provider to the User; and C) the carrying out and verification of the User’s payment transaction through third parties’ payment gateways; and D) creating the databases of Users. The User’s consent is also valid for the User’s IP address or addresses. The Provider protects the User’s personal data against their unauthorized abuse and publishing. However, the Provider is allowed to hand over the User’s personal data to relevant entities, such as law enforcement authorities, state administration bodies, courts, administration bodies or relevant international bodies or a damaged third party, which he does based on a demand from a relevant entity, in case there is a reasonable suspicion that the User used the Services for illegal activities which will lead or lead to criminal, administrative or other similar proceedings, or through which the User caused or could have caused proprietary or non-proprietary harm to a third party. This way, the Provider can only provide data related to a specific User. The Provider is also allowed to provide operational and localization data, if available, under the same conditions.

10. PRIVACY PROTECTION

The Provider respects the User’s privacy and does not communicate any information about the User or his activities to any third party with the exception of the cases explicitly stated in these Terms and Conditions. The Provider neither tracks the content of the information transferred or saved by the User nor actively searches for realities and circumstances pointing to the illegal content of the User’s information or potential illegal activities of the User. The Provider respects the User’s privacy and does not track the User’s activities when using the Services. The Provider is allowed to save operational and localization data that are created or processed when ensuring the services provided by the Provider or when performing the Contract. Operational and localization data are not used for tracking or censoring the User’s Internet activities. Operational and localization data are saved for tracking hardware utilization, identifying software errors and defects, identifying potential security breaches, ensuring technical aspects of Service operation and the potential identifying of illegal activities which are in contradiction to these Terms and Conditions.

11. FORCE MAJEURE

Notwithstanding other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, the Provider cannot be held responsible by the User for any breach of his contractual or legal obligations in the event of the breach happening as a result of a force majeure, the general conditions of which comply with provision § 374 of the Commercial Code and which also includes, according to the agreement of the parties to the contract, a natural disaster, a blackout, the Provider’s hardware or software equipment malfunction, the attack of a hacker or a virus on the Provider’s hardware or software, the Provider’s or his subcontractor’s server overload, the malfunction of the Provider’s or his subcontractor’s hardware device or software equipment, the breakdown of connectivity or Internet connection, the disturbance or disruption of the electronic communications network protection or safety, etc.

12. MAINTENANCE SHUTDOWN

The Provider or his contractor or another third party carry out regular hardware and software maintenance of the technical devices through which the Services are provided.

A Maintenance shutdown shall be announced to the User via his account on the watchingTVabroad.com website. In the event of a force majeure or other events unforeseeable by the Provider, the Maintenance Shutdown or other Service malfunction may not be announced to the User. In the case of a Maintenance Shutdown under the above-mentioned conditions, the User cannot hold the Provider responsible for possible damages of any kind. A Maintenance Shutdown does not constitute a claim for the reimbursement of any monetary performance accepted by the Provider from the User.

13. SERVICE AVAILABILITY

The Provider undertakes to make the needed effort that may be rightly required of him in order to ensure failure-free and trouble-free provision of Services with minimum amount of malfunctions or service inaccessibility. Although the Provider undertakes to ensure a due provision of Services for the User with minimum amount of malfunctions and restrictions, the Provider cannot guarantee or ensure permanent and uninterrupted availability of the Service to the User for the duration of the Contract. The provision of the Service is dependent on a whole range of events that cannot be influenced by the Provider’s will or power, such as a connectivity breakdown, hackers’ attacks, restrictions by the local provider, restrictive Internet access regulation, etc. The Provider has no control over the quality of the User’s Internet connection and the quality of international data lines. In this respect, the User knowingly agrees that the Services provided may not always be available or they may be restricted or there may be a malfunction. A malfunction or a Service restriction does not constitute a claim for the reimbursement of any monetary performance accepted by the Provider from the User.

14. CONTRACT TERMINATION

The Contract is discharged: A) by an agreement of the parties to the contract, or B) by the expiration of the duration for which the Service was ordered by the User, or C), by the User’s withdrawal, or D) upon the User’s demand, or E) by the revocation of the Contract by the Provider under the conditions described in this article of these Terms and Conditions. The User is allowed to withdraw from the Contract for reasons stated by law. Within three calendar days after ordering the Service, the User also has the right to withdraw from the Contract without stating a reason and with the right to be compensated for the price paid to the Provider. The User is not allowed to withdraw from the Contract if he has already started to access or use the Service (this does not relate to the right to withdrawal within three calendar days after ordering the Service). The parties to the Contract have decided that the User’s withdrawal from the Contract does not constitute any claim of the User for the compensation of the price paid to the Provider, unless explicitly stipulated otherwise by these Terms and Conditions or the law. At any time, the User is allowed to ask the Provider to terminate the Contract without a claim for the compensation of the price paid for a Service. The User applies for Contract termination through the contact form on the watchingTVabroad.com website. The Provider reserves the right to immediately terminate the Contract concluded with the User and to immediately terminate the provision of the Service to the User without compensation if: A) the Provider receives a complaint from a third party related to the User’s activities when using the Services, where the content of the complaint points to illegal activities of the User or activities of the User that are in contradiction to the content of these Terms and Conditions; or, B) the Provider has been informed about possible illegal activities of the User; or C) the User has in any way violated an obligation arising from Acceptable Usage Policy of watchingTVabroad.com; or D) the User’s account has been set up on the basis of untruthful, incomplete or false information; or E) the User has violated any obligation arising from these Terms and Conditions (such as the obligation to duly pay for an ordered Service) or from the law; or F) there has been a termination or a restriction of the Provider’s or his sub-contractor’s activities; or G) the Provider is obliged to do so with regard to valid legal provisions or the decision of a court or another authorized body; or H) the Service has been used in an unauthorized way or it may potentially be abused; or I) there is a reasonable suspicion or a concern about an increase in safety risks or other measures related to the safe usage of the Services or about the Provider’s or a third party’s rights or legitimate interests being endangered. The revocation of the Contract by the Provider according to this article does not constitute any claim of the User for the reimbursement or compensation of a monetary performance accepted by the Provider from the User. The User shall be informed about the Contract being revoked through his contact e-mail or through the members’ area interface. The party which had a performance effected for it by the other party before the revocation of the Contract shall return the performance, including the interest at the rate stated in the Contract for this case where the performance is a monetary obligation, otherwise determined by § 502. If the performance is returned by the party who revoked the Contract, this party has the right to have its related expenses reimbursed.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Both the Provider and the User are obliged to make all the effort that may be rightly required of them in order to reach an out-of-court settlement based on the Contract and these Terms and Conditions. If an out-of-court settlement of the dispute is not possible, the Provider and the User as parties to the Contract have decided that all property disputes that have arisen from the Contract or are related to it shall be finally settled, with the exclusion of general jurisdiction courts, in the Arbitration Court attached to the Economic Chamber of the Czech Republic and Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic according to its valid Rules and Guidelines by one arbitrator in the Czech language. The arbitration ruling shall be binding for both parties. The party to the Contract that has lost the dispute is obliged to both fully respect the arbitration ruling and to cover all the expenses of the arbitration proceedings, including the adversary’s legal representation expenses. The User and the Provider have further agreed that disputes that are not property disputes between the Provider and the User or any other disputes that, for whichever reason, cannot be taken to the above-mentioned arbitration court, shall be taken solely to courts in the Czech Republic having subject-matter and local jurisdiction. The User and the Provider agree that the aforementioned provision remains valid even after the validity and the effect of the Contract expire.

16. APPLICABLE LAW

The rights and obligations of the parties to the Contract arising from the Contract and these Terms and Conditions, including the registration of a future User, the ordering of a Service, the conclusion of a Contract, its validity and effect, as well as related rights and responsibilities, are governed exclusively by the legal order of the Czech Republic. All legal relations between the Provider and the User that are not explicitly regulated by these Terms and Conditions are thus governed by the legal order of the Czech Republic, particularly by the relevant provisions of the Commercial Code and the Civil Code.

17. DAMAGE COMPENSATION

In compliance with provision § 386 of the Commercial Code, the Provider and the User have agreed that all actual damage, including any consequential damage and loss of profits, that can be incurred by the User because of one or more violations of the Provider’s contractual or legal obligations (hereinafter referred to as “Damage”), can amount only to the price that the User paid to the Provider for an ordered Service, and therefore the parties to the Contract have mutually agreed that the User can hold the Provider responsible only for a damage amounting up to the total price that the User paid for an ordered Service. The User and the Provider agree that the aforementioned provision remains valid even after the validity and the effect of the Contract expire. Within the meaning of provision § 725 and the following of the Commercial Code, the User, as a promisor, thus unreservedly and unconditionally promises to the Provider, as a promisee, to compensate, free of any limitation and at full cost, for any damage and loss of profits which can be incurred by the Provider or a third party on the basis of the Contract or which has demonstrably been incurred by the Provider or a third party for a reason attributable to the User. The User thus irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to compensate upon the Provider’s request for damage that is incurred in relation to the provision or usage of Services or as a result of the violation of any of the User’s obligations arising from these Terms and Conditions. The User shall compensate for the damage to the Provider within thirty calendar days after receiving the request for damage compensation. The User’s promise of damage compensation is made in written form and it is considered as delivered to the Provider on the day the Contract becomes effective. The promise of damage compensation remains valid after the termination of the Contract.

18. SOME INTERPRETATION PROVISIONS

If there is a contradiction or an ambiguity between the various language versions of these Terms and Conditions, the Czech language version is applicable. If a provision included in these Terms and Conditions or in the Contract was, for whichever reason, invalid or ineffective, this does not constitute the invalidity or ineffectiveness of other parts and provisions of these Terms and Conditions or of the Contract. Any omission or failure to exercise the Provider’s rights arising from the Contract or these Terms and Conditions shall not be considered as a waiver of these rights and results neither in the extinguishment of the Provider’s rights nor in the extinguishment of the possibility to claim or enforce these rights. The User and the Provider have agreed that if the Provider returns to the User a monetary obligation accepted from the User, the Provider returns it to the User without any contractual or legal interest. The parties to the Contract have further agreed that without the Provider’s prior written consent, the User is not allowed to delegate any rights, obligations or covenants based on or arising from the Contract, including these Terms and Conditions, to any third party.

19. FINAL PROVISIONS

These Terms and Conditions become valid and effective on January 1st, 2013. The valid and effective version of the Terms and Conditions is published on http://watchingTVabroad.com/tos.php. The Provider is allowed to change his Terms and Conditions. The language of communication between the Provider and the User is English, unless the User and the Provider agree otherwise.
