Plain-English summary
The Terms of Use include a mandatory arbitration clause that waives class actions and jury trials, requiring users to resolve disputes individually (risk_flags-1). AMC limits its liability for any loss or damage arising from service use, including compensatory and punitive damages (risk_flags-2). Users are also required to indemnify AMC for any claims resulting from their breach of the terms. User communications with customer service may be monitored and recorded (data_use-1), and AMC prohibits users from using services or content to train AI systems, implying the company retains this right. Subscriptions automatically renew and free trials convert to paid subscriptions if not cancelled (cancellation_renewal-1, cancellation_renewal-2). No refunds are provided for partial billing periods or unwatched content unless legally required (cancellation_renewal-3). Additionally, if a billing account expires without being updated, the subscription will automatically terminate (cancellation_renewal-4). Content availability may change at AMC's sole discretion without liability (gotchas-1), and services are provided "as is" without warranty (gotchas-2).

Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
The terms include a mandatory arbitration provision that waives any use of class actions or jury trials and generally requires binding arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes.
Why it matters: Users are required to resolve disputes through individual binding arbitration, losing their right to participate in class action lawsuits or have their case heard by a jury. This can limit their ability to seek justice or recover damages in certain situations.
IMPORTANT NOTICE : SECTION 27 OF THESE TERMS OF USE WAIVES ANY USE OF CLASS ACTIONS OR JURY TRIALS, AND GENERALLY REQUIRES THE USE OF BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES. THE TERMS ALSO LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. PLEASE SEE THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION FOR MORE INFORMATION. THE MANDATORY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION ONLY APPLIES TO SERVICES RENDERED IN THE UNITED STATES AND WHERE SUCH PROVISION IS NOT OTHERWISE PROHIBITED.
AMC, its affiliates, parent, successors, and assigns shall not be liable for any loss or damage, direct or indirect, in connection with or arising from use of the services or from these terms of use, including compensatory, consequential, incidental, indirect, special, or punitive damages.
Why it matters: Users cannot hold AMC liable for various types of losses or damages, including compensatory and punitive damages, that might arise from using the services or from these terms. This significantly limits a user's ability to seek redress for harm caused.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, AMC, ITS AFFILIATES, PARENT, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS, OPERATIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, ADVERTISERS, AND SUPPLIERS, SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE, OF ANY KIND, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING FROM USE OF THE SERVICES OR FROM THESE TERMS OF USE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COMPENSATORY, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

Automatic Subscription Renewal
Subscriptions will renew automatically for the same period of time specified at the time of purchase unless cancelled.
Why it matters: Users' subscriptions will automatically renew, leading to recurring charges if not actively cancelled. This requires users to remember to cancel if they do not wish to continue the service.

Automatic Conversion of Free Trial to Paid Subscription
If a user does not cancel a free trial within the allotted time, the subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription, and the user will be charged.

If you do not cancel your subscription to Services within the time allotted for such free trial, your subscription will be automatically converted from a free trial to a paid subscription to Services and you will be charged for your subscription following the conclusion of the free trial.

AMC does not provide refunds or credits for any partial-billing periods, partial subscription periods, or for unwatched content, unless required by law.
Why it matters: Users will not receive refunds for any unused portions of their subscription period or for content they haven't watched if they cancel early, unless local laws mandate it. This means they could lose money on services they no longer use.

Why it matters: Users may unexpectedly lose access to services if their payment method expires and they don't update it in time, potentially interrupting their use of the platform.
If your Billing Account expires and you do not update or change your Billing Account, your subscription will automatically terminate at the end of the current paid Subscription Term and your access to the Services will be revoked after such period.
