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
