Plain-English summary

The Fox Sports Terms of Use include a mandatory arbitration clause and class-action waiver, which significantly limits your legal recourse (risk_flags-1). If you create an account for a minor, you agree to indemnify Fox for any claims if the minor voids the agreement (risk_flags-2). Your payment method may be accessible by Fox's affiliated entities (data_use-1), and payment information may be updated using data from financial institutions (data_use-2). Viewing activity on viewer profiles can be accessible to all profile users (data_use-3). Subscriptions automatically renew at current rates (cancellation_renewal-1), and subscription fees are non-refundable for partially used billing periods, meaning no refunds for early cancellation (cancellation_renewal-2). Any service or referral credits are forfeited upon cancellation (cancellation_renewal-3). If a free trial is offered after you subscribe, no retroactive refunds or price adjustments will be applied (cancellation_renewal-4). You are responsible for identifying and canceling duplicative subscriptions if you have a bundled offer and also subscribe directly to a service within that bundle (gotchas-1). Failure to pay amounts owed may result in you being liable for all collection costs, including legal fees (gotchas-2).

Please note that if you already directly subscribe to a product or service that is part of a bundled offer on Fox One or that is otherwise distributed through Fox One or another Subscription Service, you could end up paying to access that product or service twice; once through Fox One or such other Subscription Service, and again through your subscription directly with the party offering the product or service included in the bundle. It is your responsibility to recognize any such duplicative charge, decide if you want to cancel either duplicative subscription, and then do so if that is what you decide.
