  1. 1.Acceptance of the Terms of Use

These terms of use are entered into by and between You and Mass Local TV, Inc. (“Company,” “we,” or “us“). The following terms and conditions (“Terms of Use“) govern your access to and use of yourlocaltv.org and the LocalTV+ iOS and tvOS apps, including any content, functionality and services offered on or through yourlocaltv.org or the LocalTV+ iOS or tvOS apps (the “App“), whether as a guest or a registered user.

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the App. By using the App or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use, you must not access or use the App. 

This App is offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older and are located within one hundred miles of Boston, Massachusetts. By using this App, you represent and warrant that you meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the App.

  1. 2.Service area and access

The Company provides access to local television within one hundred miles of Boston, Massachusetts. By using this App, you represent and warrant that you are located within this geographic area. You agree to not use a virtual private network (VPN), proxy service, or other technique to disguise your location.

  1. 3.Changes to the Terms of Use

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them.

Your continued use of the App following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

  1. 4.Accessing the App and Account Security

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend this App, and any service or material we provide on the App, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the App is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the App, or the entire App, to users, including registered users.

You are responsible for both:

  • Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the App.
  • Ensuring that all persons who access the App through your internet connection or devices are aware of these Terms of Use and comply with them.

To access the App or some of the resources it offers, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the App that all the information you provide on the App is correct, current and complete. 

If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to this App or portions of it using your username, password or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

We have the right to disable any username, password or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Use.

You may stop using the App at any time if you choose. You may delete your account and all associated personal information from our servers using the “Delete Account” feature within the app or submitting a support request to masslocaltv@gmail.com.
