CONTENT RATINGS AND MATURE PROGRAMMING Some programming available through Shordy.TV may contain mature subject matter. Where appropriate, Shordy.TV may provide ratings, age classifications, content descriptions, warnings, or parental-control features. These classifications are provided as general guidance and may not identify every element contained within a program. You are responsible for determining whether content is appropriate for yourself or anyone using your account. ⸻ 8. SUBSCRIPTIONS Shordy.TV may offer free and paid subscription plans. Subscription plans may differ in: * Price; * Billing frequency; * Content availability; * Advertising; * Streaming quality; * Number of supported devices; * Other features. The applicable subscription price and terms will be presented before you complete your purchase. By purchasing a subscription, you authorize WatchNow Network, Inc. or its authorized payment processor to charge the applicable payment method. ⸻ 9. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, paid subscriptions may automatically renew at the end of each billing period. When a subscription automatically renews, the payment method associated with your account may be charged the then-current subscription price plus applicable taxes or fees. You may cancel your subscription before the next renewal date to prevent future charges. Cancellation procedures may vary depending on whether you subscribed directly through Shordy.TV or through a third-party app store. ⸻ 10.

Nothing in this section limits any refund rights you may have under applicable law. ⸻ 13.
