    2. 3.2. The titles are offered either in the form of live broadcasting (so-called simulcasting) or so-called streaming (transmission of a digitized signal in real time without any downloading to the User's device). The Operator is entitled to attach advertising and/or sponsorship messages to the Titles.
    3. 3.3. All the Titles are intended for personal use only, which means for the User's consumption, if the Operator does not allow watching certain Titles also from other territory. Users are not entitled to use any technical or other means to circumvent the relevant territorial limitation. Any use of the Titles for commercial or business purposes, or to a greater extent is explicitly prohibited. This means the User is therefore not entitled to distribute, copy, record or otherwise use the Titles in any way that violates these Terms and applicable laws. Public production of the Titles is allowed by the Operator to official OKTAGON BARS only, or to those who have purchased a license for public broadcasting.

  4. 4. SUBSCRIPTION PACKAGE AND SINGLE TITLE SUBSCRIPTION IN THE FORM OF A LIVE BROADCAST

    1. 4.1.

The Operator reserves the right to remove or add Titles and/or other services and/or benefits/bonuses to the Subscription Package at any time and thereby change the scope of the Subscription Package. A change to the scope of the Subscription Package shall not be deemed to be a change to these Terms and Conditions. Subscribers who have purchased a Subscription Package in the "Basic" or "Premium" variants before 30.11.2022 will be able to continue to use the respective Subscription Package in their "Basic" or "Premium" variants upon payment of the Subscription Fee in the corresponding amount for the next period set by the Operator starting from 1.12.2022, despite the fact that these Subscription Package variants will no longer be offered within the video portal on the Website or the Mobile Application for Registered Users from 1.12.2022.
    6. 4.6. The contract for the provision of Services paid for by means of a Subscription shall be binding for Registered Users for at least the period specified by the Operator, for which a single Subscription payment is charged.

Termination shall take effect at the end of the relevant period for which the Subscription Fee has already been paid, i.e. the Subscription Fee already paid shall not be refunded upon termination. The Operator is also entitled to terminate the provision of the Services paid for by means of the Subscription in relation to the relevant Subscriber, in particular in the event that, due to insufficient funds for the payment of the Subscription Fee, the payment is not executed within the relevant Payment Channel within the specified period of time.
