PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. The Subscriber Agreement forms a legal agreement between Diamond Sports Group, LLC, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Diamond”, “we”, or “us”) and you (“you”, with you and other users of the Service referred to as “Users”) and applies to your use of the Service. Your agreement to this Subscriber Agreement also constitutes your acknowledgement of Diamond’s Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your subscription to the Service. The Service is available only in the United States, including its territories and possessions. You must be at least 18 years of age or older to subscribe to the Service.
3. FanDuel Sports Network Service Limitations
The Service content that may be available to you, including the regional sports networks, may vary by geographic location. We may use different technologies and methods to verify your geographic location. Your access to regional sports networks will be determined by your physical location. Your physical location will be determined by us in our sole discretion, using geolocation technology within the device used to access the Service.
When you purchase the Service, you will be assigned a Home Territory, which will govern the content available to you. If you purchase the Service through the Site, your Home Territory will be based on the billing zip code of the credit card used to purchase the Service. If you purchase the Service through the Site using PayPal as your method of payment, your Home Territory will be based on the zip code provided to us by PayPal. If you purchase the Service through the App, your Home Territory will be based on the zip code of your physical location at the time of purchase. We do not guarantee access to any content, and the content available to you may change at any time.
(a) Simultaneous Streaming: The number of simultaneous streams of the Service under your subscription is limited to two (2) streams.

(c) Couch Rights: Your subscription includes a thirty (30) day period in which you can view content outside of your Home Territory (“Couch Rights”). The thirty (30) day period will commence the first time you view content outside of your Home Territory. Outside of your Home Territory refers to fifty (50) miles or greater from the center of the zip code of your Home Territory. If you view content within fifty (50) miles from the center of your Home Territory, you will not activate Couch Rights. Once activated, Couch Rights will apply to any device you use to access content outside your Home Territory. If you move from your Home Territory, you may contact Customer Support at 1-866-225-5901 to change your Home Territory. Changing your Home Territory will change the content available to you.
(d) Blackouts: Certain live sporting events and other content available through the Service may be subject to blackouts. For example, if you are in the home television territory of a team participating in a game, then the game may be blacked-out for viewing or live viewing as part of your Service subscription.
