Additional Emby Premier Subscription Terms

Updated: April 6, 2016

In addition to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy indicated on the Website, Emby Premier Subscriptions are governed by the following terms:

Subscriptions:

Emby offers a subscription which provides access to certain features and services for the term of the subscription (“Subscription”).  

Term.  The Subscription(s) are offered on a monthly, annual, or lifetime basis, as selected by You. (the “Term”).   If you select automatic renewal at the time of the subscription, then your subscription will be renewed automatically, and thereby the Term will be renewed automatically at the end of the then current Term.

Lifetime Term: Lifetime shall mean the then current major version of the Emby server software. In the event a Lifetime subscription is purchased within 24 months of the release of a new major version of the Emby server software, the license will be upgraded to the new major version. (E.g. If the current version of Emby server is 3.XXX when a Lifetime subscription is purchased, the 3.XXXX license key will never expire. If 4.XXX is released within 24 months of a purchase of a 3.XXX lifetime subscription, the 3.XXX license will be upgraded to a 4.XXX license. However, the 3.XXX license will still never expire, and neither will the 4.XXX license.)

Annual Term: Annual shall mean a recurring twelve consecutive calendar month period, which term shall end on the immediately preceding date of the thirteenth calendar month after the date enrolled.  The term, if selected, shall automatically renew on the same calendar date of the same calendar date and month in the next calendar year (for example purposes only, if enrolled on April 1 of a given year, the term shall expire on March 31 of the next given year and automatically renew on April 1 of the next given year).

Monthly Term: Monthly shall mean a recurring monthly period, which term shall end on the immediately preceding date of the next calendar month after to the date enrolled.  The term, if selected, shall automatically renew on the same calendar date of the following calendar month (for example purposes only, if enrolled on April 1 of a given year, the term shall expire on April 30 of the given month and automatically renew on May 1 of the given year).

Premier Devices:

Emby Premier shall allow for a certain amount of concurrent devices per subscription for access to Premier only features and apps. Unless otherwise indicated on the website, Emby Premier shall be limited to 15 Devices at any given time.  

A “Premier Device” is defined any mobile, computer, or other electronic device which registers with the Emby server with a unique “device id”.  The device id is a uniquely generated id that is dependent on both device model, OS version, and application.  Each unique device id shall be counted as a separate Device.  It is possible that a single machine (whether mobile, desktop computer, or otherwise) with multiple applications installed on the machine may register as a new device id per application.  In this event, each unique device id will be counted as separate devices.

The Premier Device shall be granted access to Premier applications and services for the Subscription Term.  Members may modify, update, or otherwise change the devices listed as being granted Premier Device access throughout the Subscription term.  Any devices in excess of the permitted number, removed from the list of management Premier Devices, or upon expiration of the given Subscription Term may no longer have access to any Premier functionality, apps, or services.

Refunds: Any and all fees related to Emby Subscriptions are non-refundable.  However, Emby may in its’ sole discretion, provided refunds on a case by case basis.
