Vodafone Entertainment Terms and Conditions

The following terms apply to your purchase and use of the Vodafone Entertainment package:

  • these terms for use of the entertainment package ("Terms");
  • terms provided by the relevant content provider ("Content Provider Terms") included below; and
  • your bundle, Airtime Conditions and (where applicable) Welcome Letter/Welcome Email ("Pricing Guide").

If there is any difference between what is said in these Terms then the terms shall apply in the following order: your Pricing Guide; these Terms and the Content Provider Terms.

  1. What is Vodafone Entertainment?

    Vodafone Entertainment allows you to choose entertainment relating to music, sport and other content provided to you by third-party content providers ("Content"). Vodafone Entertainment is available within various bundles. Netflix, Spotify Premium and Sky Sports Mobile TV are also available on a standalone subscription basis. We provide you with the right to access the Content via the Vodafone network ("Services").

  2. Cost of Service

    1. Where the Content is included as part of your bundle

      You can select one Content pack as part of your eligible bundle. Your bundle will be discounted when you activate your Content choice in order to accommodate the cost of the Content. We’ll then supply a virtual Content pass on a monthly basis throughout the period Content is included in your Bundle and the Content provider accepts that pass to give you access to your chosen Content. Unless stated otherwise in the relevant Content Provider Terms, the Content will automatically expire after the term specified in your Bundle Terms at which time any discount applied to your tariff will also expire. For Pay as you go customers, access will expire at the same time as your Big Value Bundle. You’ll then be charged at the current retail price for that content, although you can choose to opt out of this service and charge at any time.

    2. Where the Content is selected as a standalone monthly subscription

      The cost of the Content will be confirmed to you at the time of taking out the standalone subscription. We supply a virtual Content pass on a monthly basis for the duration of your standalone subscription and the Content provider accepts that pass to give you access to your chosen Content. Pay as you go customers will need to have credit on their account each month in order for the monthly standalone subscription payment to be made. Sky Sports Mobile TV and Spotify Premium are available on a standalone monthly subscription service. Netflix is available on the same basis at the end of your inclusive content period provided that: (i) you selected Netflix as your Content choice and; (ii) at that time you were a new customer to Netflix.

    3. Please note

      Content is available on Red 4G bundles bought before 31 March 2015 and selected Red Value Bundles and Big Value Bundles on Pay as you go. Any reference to ‘Red Value Bundles’ in these Terms and Conditions also includes ‘Red 4G plans’ bought before the 31 March 2015.

  3. Access to the Service

    If you exceed any bundle data allowance when using the Content you will incur additional data charges. If you access the Content outside the UK then you may incur browsing, downloading and other internet data charges at the standard rates for roaming data. The Service is subject to network coverage, mobile equipment capability and the operating system installed on your mobile equipment. If you upgrade your bundle prior to the end of the period that content is included within your bundle then you’ll lose access to your chosen Content from the date of the upgrade.

  4. Ending the Service

    1. Where selected as apart of your Red Value Bundle, the Service can only be cancelled in accordance with the terms of your bundle.
    2. Where selected as a standalone monthly subscription:
      1. Before you activate the Service, you can cancel your monthly subscription during the first 14 days following the date you first registered for the monthly subscription ("Cancellation Period"). We'll reimburse you for any monthly subscription payments for the Service you’ve already made, provided the Service hasn’t been activated.
      2. After the Cancellation Period you can terminate your monthly subscription by contacting Vodafone at any time. The cancellation will take effect from the next monthly anniversary of the date you subscribed, except where you cancel less than 48 hours before your next monthly anniversary date, in which case cancellation will take effect from the following monthly anniversary. If you terminate your subscription you won’t be entitled to any subscription refund.

    Spotify's products may be subject to U.S. export and reexport control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR") maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, trade and economic sanctions maintained by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations ("ITAR") maintained by the Department of State.

Specifically, you agree that you shall not - directly or indirectly - sell, export, reexport, transfer, divert, or otherwise dispose of any products, software, or technology (including products derived from or based on such technology) received from Spotify under these Agreements to any destination, entity, or person prohibited by the laws or regulations of the United States, without obtaining prior authorisation from the competent government authorities as required by those laws and regulations. This export control clause shall survive termination or cancellation of these Agreements.

  12. Payments, cancellations and cooling off

    If you have purchased a Paid Subscription or Code online, you have the right to change your mind and receive a full refund within fourteen (14) days of purchase (the "Cooling-off Period"), but only if you have not logged in or otherwise redeemed or started to consume them. If you have a Paid Subscription, your payment to Spotify or Vodafone (as applicable) will automatically renew at the end of the subscription period, unless you cancel your Paid Subscription before the end of the current subscription period. The cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period, and you will be downgraded to the Free Service. However, if you cancel your payment and/or terminate the Terms after the Cooling-off Period is over (where applicable), and/or before the end of the subscription period, we will not refund any subscription fees already paid to us. Spotify may change the price for the Paid Subscriptions from time to time, and will communicate any price changes to you. Price changes for Paid Subscriptions will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. By continuing to use the Spotify Service after the price change takes effect, you accept the new price.

  13. Term and termination

    These Terms will continue to apply to you until terminated by either you or Spotify. Spotify may terminate the Terms or suspend your access to the Spotify Service at any time, including in the event of your actual or suspected unauthorised use of the Spotify Service or non-compliance with the Terms. If you or Spotify terminate the Terms, or if Spotify suspends your access to the Spotify Service, you agree that Spotify shall have no liability or responsibility to you and Spotify will not refund any amounts that you have already paid, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. To learn how to terminate your Spotify account, please contact Spotify support.

  14. Warranty

    We endeavour to provide the best service we can, but you understand and agree that THE SPOTIFY SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. YOU USE THE SPOTIFY SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK. SPOTIFY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. In addition, Spotify does not warrant, endorse, guarantee or assume responsibility for any Third Party Applications, Third Party Application content, User Content, or any other product or service advertised or offered by a third party on or through the Spotify Service or any hyperlinked website, or featured in any banner or other advertising. You understand and agree that Spotify is not responsible or liable for any transaction between you and third-party providers of Third Party Applications or products or services advertised on or through the Spotify Service. As with any purchase of a product or service through any medium or in any environment, you should use your judgment and exercise caution where appropriate. No advice or information whether oral or in writing obtained by you from Spotify shall create any warranty on behalf of Spotify in this regard. Some aspects of this section may not apply in some jurisdictions.

  15. Limitation

    You agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, your sole and exclusive remedy for any problems or dissatisfaction with the Spotify Service, the Third Party Applications or the Third Party Application content is to uninstall any Spotify software and to stop using the Spotify Service, the Third Party Applications or the Third Party Application content. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SPOTIFY, ITS OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, DIRECTORS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR

    1. ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR PROFITS) DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SPOTIFY SERVICE, THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS OR THIRD PARTY APPLICATION CONTENT, REGARDLESS OF LEGAL THEORY, WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER SPOTIFY HAS BEEN WARNED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE;
    2. AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SPOTIFY SERVICE, THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS OR THIRD PARTY APPLICATION CONTENT MORE THAN THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO SPOTIFY DURING THE PRIOR THREE MONTHS IN QUESTION.

    Nothing in these Agreements removes or limits Spotify's liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by its negligence. Some aspects of this section may not apply in some jurisdictions.

  16. Entire agreement

    These Agreements constitute all the terms and conditions agreed upon between you and Spotify and supersede any prior agreements in relation to the subject matter of these Agreements, whether written or oral. Any additional or different terms or conditions in relation to the subject matter of the Agreements in any written or oral communication from you to Spotify are void. You represent that you have not accepted the Agreements in reliance on any oral or written representations made by Spotify that are not contained in the Agreements. Please note, however, that other aspects of your use of the Spotify Service may be governed by additional agreements. That could include, for example, access to the Spotify Community for customer support, access to the Spotify Service as a result of a gift card, or free or discounted Trials. You will agree to separate terms and conditions in those circumstances, which are listed in full at www.spotify.com/uk/legal/links. Those terms and conditions shall govern only with regard to the aspect of the Service to which they apply, and are distinct from and supplemental to these Agreements, and do not supersede these Agreements. To the extent that there is any conflict between those agreements and these Agreements, these Agreements shall control, except as otherwise provided in these Terms. Occasionally we may offer you the chance to participate in sweepstakes, contests, and surveys ("Special Promotions") through the Service. Special Promotions may be governed by terms and conditions that are separate from these Terms. If the provisions of a Special Promotion's terms and conditions conflict with these Terms, those separate terms and conditions shall prevail.

  17. Severability

    Should any provision of the Terms be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason or to any extent, such invalidity or enforceability shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Terms, and the application of that provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

  18. Choice of law, mandatory arbitration and venue

    Unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of a member state of the European Union or any other jurisdiction, these Agreements are subject to the laws of Sweden, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles. Further, you and Spotify agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Sweden to resolve any dispute, claim or controversy that arises in connection with these Agreements.
