Optimum TV app Terms of Use

CSC Holdings, LLC ("Optimum") provides the Optimum TV application (the "App" or "Optimum TV app") which, among other features, allows Subscribers of Optimum TV platform to access their Optimum TV service via authorized devices, including but not limited to the Optimum Stream, Apple TV, and other select Apple and Android devices (collectively, "Device(s)"). Access to and use of the App is subject to the following Terms of Use (the "Terms") as well as the Additional Terms of Service for Optimum TV, the Customer Privacy Notice and the App Privacy Notice, as such may be amended from time to time (collectively, the "TOS"), which are incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the TOS. By downloading, installing and/or using the App, Subscriber agrees to be bound by these Terms, which constitute an agreement between Subscriber and Optimum. 

Features and Functions.
The App makes available for viewing in Subscriber's residence, through a Device, the channels and other content offerings which are authorized by Subscriber's service level and account status and only such channels and content offerings, subject to the availability (as a result of technical and other considerations) of such channels and content offerings through the App. The App allows Subscribers to search for programming and other content using either voice-based or text-based search and may also allow Subscribers to use their Device as a remote control and control the Optimum TV Box. Subscriber understands and agrees that the audio files and associated transcriptions and log files ("Speech Data") generated by Subscriber's use of the voice-based search will be collected, stored, and used by Optimum and its vendors to translate the Speech Data into text and may be collected and used by such third parties to tune, develop, build, enhance and/or improve the speech recognition functionality. Subscriber also understands and agrees that the text-based search terms generated by Subscriber's use of text-based search as well as the transcription(s) of Subscriber's voice-based search will also be collected, stored and used by Optimum and its vendors to provide Subscriber with search results and recommendations of related programming or content, including for the purpose of developing, enhancing and/or improving the search and recommendation functionalities.

The App also enables Subscribers that subscribe to Optimum TV and/or Optimum Online to manage their DVR service remotely through their Device. Use of DVR through the App is subject to the Agreement for Cloud DVR.

Subscriber understands and agrees that Optimum reserves the right to modify the App, and the features and functionality thereof, at any time without notice to Subscriber.

Restrictions on Use.
Subscriber agrees that his/her use of and access to the App shall only be for personal and noncommercial use and not for public use or performances. Subscriber understands and agrees that only certain content is accessible from the App when outside of the service location. Subscriber agrees that s/he shall not access or use any software, system, device or other technology to enable the App or any feature or functionality thereof to be accessed or used in any manner or for any other purpose other than as expressly permitted hereunder. For example, Subscriber may not view the App through a virtual private network. Other features of the App, including channel guide, Search, and management of their Optimum TV DVR, subject to the Agreement for Cloud DVR, may be available outside of his/her residence. In order to access the App, Subscribers also agree to password-protect their home router to ensure the security of their in-home wireless network. (This is in addition to the fact that the underlying television signals delivered from Optimum's headend are themselves encrypted all the way to the Device.) Except when using an Apple TV, no more than three (3) Devices associated with a Subscriber's account may simultaneously view channels and content offerings through the App. A Subscriber may not use Airplay to transfer any audio and/or video content viewed through the App to any other device inside such Subscriber's home. Subscriber also agrees not to submit any automated or recorded requests for Voice Search purposes.
