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).

Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Why it matters: You cannot sue the company in court, have a jury trial, or participate in a class action lawsuit. Your options for resolving disputes and the remedies available to you are limited.
SECTION 23 BELOW CONTAINS PROVISIONS THAT,WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS:(a)REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN COURTS OR JURY TRIALS, TO RESOLVE DISPUTES; (b) REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DISPUTES; AND (c)LIMIT THE REMEDIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.
Account Holder Liability for Minor's Disaffirmance

Why it matters: You could be held responsible for all costs, including legal fees, if a minor associated with your account rejects the terms of service, effectively forcing you to indemnify the company.
In the event these Terms of Use are disaffirmed, disavowed, or voided by Minor for any reason, Parent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Fox and its Affiliates harmless from and against any all third party (including Minor) claims, actions or proceedings of any kind and from any and all third party (including Minor) damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable outside legal fees and costs relating to or arising out of such disaffirmance, disavowing, or voiding of these Terms of Use or that may be incurred by Fox or its Affiliates in enforcing these Terms of Use against Minor.
