How Our Service Works
Huzo is a combined online purchase service and social networking service providing its members with access to a comprehensive library of motion picture, television and other audio-visual entertainment ("movies") on standard definition or Blu-ray disc (either format referred to herein as "DVD"), Video Games, Music CDs and eBooks. We also offer our members the opportunity to create a homepage to share what Movies, Games, Music and eBooks the members are renting and to interact with other members. Our members can also post reviews or comments on their homepage. In addition, if you chose to become a Huzo affiliate, you will receive a commission of up to 2% of fees paid to us by all members that sign up for Huzo service through your homepage, or accept your invitation to sign up for service. This commission is purely discretionary with Huzo and can be changed or terminated at any time.
Pursuant to our monthly plan, members receive DVD, CDs, or game disks by U.S. mail and return them to us in a prepaid envelope provided with the disk.
We reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to make changes from time to time and without notice in how we operate our service. Any description of how our service works should not be considered a representation or obligation with respect to how the service will always work. We are constantly making adjustments to our service and often these adjustments are not completely captured within these Terms of Use.
Below is a general description concerning the operation of our DVD purchase service:
- The Number of DVDs, CDs and Games You Can Purchase
We provide a number of different membership plans to accommodate a variety of movie watching preferences, movie listening and gaming preferences. Click on the "Your Account" link, located at the top of the pages of the Huzo website and see "Change Plans" for details on the various plans we offer. To view your current plan and other details, click on "Membership Terms and Details" on the "Your Account" page. You may modify your plan in the Change Plan section of "Your Account" if your current plan is not satisfying your movie watching needs. Regardless of your plan, should we feel that you are using the service in an abusive or excessive manner, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify the terms and conditions of your plan, to suspend shipment of product to you, or to terminate your account.
-
We utilize the U.S. Postal Service for deliveries to you. The delivery times you encounter will vary based on a number of factors, such as your geographic location and distance from our delivery center, DVDs, CDs or games rented by you, and the quantity of DVDs, CDs or games rented by you. At present, we send you an email letting you know when we have received a returned movie, disk or game, and we also send you another email letting you know when we have shipped your next DVD, CD or game, including the anticipated day of delivery. We make no representations or warranties to you of any firm delivery times other than they will be commercially reasonable.
- No Due Dates or Late Fees
-
Provided you continue to be a paying member of our service, you may keep the DVDs, CDs or games delivered to you as long as you like. We do not impose any required return dates (other than upon cancellation of the service). Given that we have no required return dates, we do not charge any late fees. You are required to return the Movies, CDs or Games within 7 days following any cancellation of the service or be subject to charge for unreturned DVDs, CDs or Games. Also, you may be charged for movies, CDs or Games that you lose.
Membership and Billing
You can find the specific details regarding your membership with Huzo at anytime by clicking on the "Your Account" link, located at the top of the pages of the Huzo Website.
-
By starting your Huzo membership, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge you a monthly membership fee, any applicable tax, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Huzo service to the Payment Method you provided during registration (or to a different Payment Method if you change your account information). Additional charges may include gift subscription purchases you make, movies you fail to return or service level changes you request. As used in these Terms of Use, "billing" shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method, including a checking account, where applicable. The membership fee will be billed at the beginning of your membership and on each monthly renewal thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. Click on the "Membership Terms and Details" link on the "Your Account" page to see the commencement date for your next renewal period. We automatically bill your Payment Method each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your membership. In the event your membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we bill your Payment Method on the last day of such month. For example, if you became a paying member on January 31st, your Payment Method would next be billed on February 28th. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for reasons that include differing amounts due to promotional offers, differing amounts due to changes in your membership plan, changes in the amount of applicable sales tax, and charges for lost DVDs or DVDs not returned upon cancellation or termination of your membership, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts. Your Payment Method will be authorized for up to approximately one month of service during the free trial; however, no charges will be made against the Payment Method unless you do not cancel prior to the end of your two-week free trial. We may also periodically authorize your card in anticipation of membership or related charges. All fees and charges are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, bonus disc or other consideration to some or all of our members ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance. We may change the fees and charges in effect, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will give you advance notice of these changes by email. If you want to use a different Payment Method or if there is a change in your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method information by clicking on the "Your Account" button, available at the top of the pages of the Huzo Website. If your Payment Method reaches its expiration date and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see "Cancellation" below), you authorize us to continue billing that Payment Method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
-
If you are a Huzo affiliate, your Huzo commission, if any, will be paid to you monthly via a check made payable to you and mailed to the address specified by you on your membership profile. The Huzo commission will be calculated based on membership dues received by us during the previous month from members that have directly signed up for Huzo service through your homepage and who remain as your affiliate members on your homepage. The amount of Huzo commission can be changed by us at any time. We may also cancel the Huzo affiliate program at any time. The Huzo commission program is purely discretionary with us and does not entitle you to any ownership interest in Huzo Inc. or any of its affiliates.
-
You may cancel your membership to Huzo at anytime, and cancellation will be effective immediately. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-MONTH MEMBERSHIP PERIODS. To cancel, click the words "Cancel Membership" on the "Your Account" page and follow the instructions for cancellation under the heading "Cancel Membership." You will not be entitled to a Huzo Bonus for any month during which you cancel your membership or your membership is terminated by us. Once your membership is cancelled and terminated, you will not be entitled to any further Huzo Bonuses.
-
Our Community feature provides you with a number of ways to share your Huzo experience with others. We are continually making changes and improvements to this feature, and therefore the available features and information that is shared may change from time to time. These changes may take place without notice to you and may not be described in these Terms of Use.
-
Again these features may change or even be eliminated without notice to you. We may not describe all these features in the Terms of Use or elsewhere on our website. We hope that you find our Community feature, as it may change from time to time, to be a great way to share information and discover new movies. However, if you no longer wish to participate in our Community feature, you may remove yourself from the Community feature at anytime by unchecking the box "Allow this User to Participate in Community Features" which can be found by clicking on the "Your Account" link, selecting the "Account Profiles" link (located in the Account Information Box) and then selecting "edit."
-
BY USING THE COMMUNITY FEATURE AND ALL RELATED FEATURES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE RELEASE OF INFORMATION ABOUT YOU TO A PUBLIC FORUM, INCLUDING OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HUZO COMMUNITY, HUZO MEMBERS AND OTHER VISITORS TO THE HUZO WEBSITE. IF YOU DO NOT WANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU, INCLUDING PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, TO BE SHARED IN A PUBLIC FORUM DO NOT USE THE COMMUNITY FEATURES.
-
Anyone who participates in the Huzo Community is automatically given an anonymous screen name ("nickname") and a generic avatar photo to represent them in public. You can update your screen name or photo/image avatar at any time, as often as desired to identify yourself in connection with your Account profile. We supply this pseudonym on your behalf so that any presented information is not personally identifiable. You always have the opportunity to update this automatic pseudonym with a pseudonym of your choice, or even supply your real name, but by doing so you are choosing to disclose your identity in connection with your reviews and ratings and other forms of personal information on our Website.
-
In addition, photos or images that you choose to post must be owned entirely by you and cannot contain the images of, or owned by any third party, and cannot be infringing, vulgar, obscene, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable. You understand and agree that we may, but are not obligated, to review this content and may delete or remove it (without notice) in our sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason. Please also see "Use of Information Submitted" below.
-
Our Friends feature allows you to connect with those on your "Friends List" to share information about movies. To create a Friends List, just click on "Invite Friends" at the Friends tab and follow the instructions provided. You may also connect with Friends by accepting an invitation sent to you or by posting the HTML link (available on the Invite Friends page) anywhere on the Internet. If you invite a friend who is not currently a Huzo member, your friend will be given the opportunity to become a member in order to be on your Friends List.
-
Each person on your Friends List will be able to view your real name, location, movie ratings, queue information, reviews and any comments and other information you choose to post, and you will be able to view their real name, location, ratings, queue information, reviews and comments. Your Friends will also be able to see some general information about your other Friends. Your Friends will also be able to leave you notes, visible only to you and them. Your "Queue information" is what movies you have at home, what's currently in your Queue and what movies you have rented in the past.
-
Others accessing the Huzo website will be able to see general information about individuals using the Friends feature. For example, if an individual clicks on a reviewer's profile, the individual will be able to see the reviewer's Friends and the individual can continue on to see information on the various Friends' Friends.
-
If you are not interested in sharing any of this information with individuals on your Friends List or with others on the website, you may remove one or all individuals from your Friends List at any time by selecting "Remove Friend" in the Community sidebar. Removing all individuals from your Friends List effectively removes you from all the Friends features. You also can go to the Community Profile, and change your setting to "Private" which allows you to participate in Friends features, but without being seen through the Friends of your Friends.
-
You should be aware that your use of the Friends feature will cause information concerning your use of the Huzo service, such as what movies you have viewed, the movies you have at home, the movies you want to watch, your opinions of movies you've rated and any comments and other information you have posted to be available to the individuals on your Friends List. Others accessing the Huzo website will also be able to see general information about you through your use of Friends. Those who see the Friends web link that you may choose to post or who receive your invitation will know you are a Huzo member, whether or not they join your Friends List. We do not review the content of the e-mail invitations or the comments posted through the Friends feature. You are responsible for such content; provided however, we reserve the right to reject, remove or edit such content at anytime without notice.
-
Our Favorites (or "Faves") feature allows you to identify other Huzo Community members – including but not limited to individuals who are reviewers, Friend's users, or Movie List creators – and subscribe to the content they create on the site. To use the Favorites feature, just click on the "Save to Faves" button that accompanies all members of the Huzo Community. This automatically adds this person to your Favorites list. Your Favorites are displayed on your Friends & Faves page in the Community.
-
For each person on your Favorites List, you will be able to see their screen name, location, movie ratings, a listing of their Friends, Faves and Fans, reviews and movie lists. You will not be able to see Queue information, purchase history, notes sent between them and their Friends. You and your Favorites cannot exchange notes or communications of any kind. Your Favorites will see you as a "Fan" and will see the same screen name, location, movie ratings, reviews, Friends/Faves/Fans and movie lists.
-
You may remove one or all individuals from your Favorites List at any time by visiting their profile and selecting "Remove Fave" in the Community sidebar. At any time, you can opt out of sharing any profile information by going to the Community Profile and changing your setting to "Private" whereby you can be a Fan of someone, but no one can click through to see your Profile, ratings, Friends/Faves/Fans or other aggregated information.
-
We permit you to post reviews of movies, devices and applications on the Huzo Website. We do not regularly review the content posted on the Huzo Website; however, we reserve the right to reject, remove or edit such content at anytime without notice. Reviews should not be posted that contain: harsh, profane or discriminatory language; illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory or otherwise objectionable content; URLs, phone numbers, mailing or e-mail addresses, personal attacks on the movies, devices or application's creative personnel; misleading information regarding the origin of the content; or a discussion of Huzo policies or services. You understand and agree that we may, but are not obligated to review the content and may delete or remove it (without notice) in our sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason. Please also see "Sharing Your Content and Information" above.
-
By submitting a review, you understand and are permitting that all information provided in your review will be posted on our Website. Also, when you have submitted a review or created a movie list, we will display your city and state location given at sign up (and for movie reviews, your movie ratings). We also may supply a pseudonym on your behalf so that this information is not personally identifiable. You may update this automatic pseudonym with a pseudonym of your choice, or even supply your real name, but by doing so you are choosing to disclose your identity in connection with your reviews and ratings on our website.
-
