Samsung Hub Notices
•
Any media item (Media Content) may be rented or purchased after
you create an account in Samsung Hub.
•
Media Content that is purchased and downloaded may be viewed
concurrently on up to five (5) devices with Samsung Hub (or “the
service”) that are also registered to the same account.
•
You may remove a device from your account no more than once
every 90 days.
•
You may remove Media Content from a device as many times as
you’d like. You will have the ability to re-download the Media
Content later subject to content re-download availability and
content provider permissions.
•
You may need network coverage to access Media Content you
have acquired through the Service.
•
You can use 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connectivity to download Media
Content.
•
Unlike purchased Media Content, rented Media Content is
viewable on only 1 device in your account at a time.
•
Media Content is downloaded and saved to your authorized
device's SD card. No SD Card included out of box.
Page 95
•
Your Media Content may pause/stop or not download in networks
where there is a weak signal.

extend the available viewing time.
•
In no event will rented Media Content be available for a period
of more than thirty (30) days (or shorter on a title-by-title basis)

begin viewing rented Media Content on the 29th day after the
rental transaction, but do not finish viewing the entire title, that
rented Media Content may not be available for the entire
twenty-four (24) consecutive hour period if such period would
extend the viewable time beyond the thirty (30) day rental
window).

Unless otherwise restricted by the Content Providers, you can
download Media Content to your TV using HDMI connections;
otherwise, you cannot play Media Content downloaded from your
mobile device output.
