What your Apple TV+ contract says

In short

This is a subscription agreement for Apple TV+, Apple's streaming service, provided by Apple Distribution International Ltd (based in Cork, Ireland) to consumers in the United Kingdom. You pay a monthly fee for access to Apple's original films, series, and documentaries. The service is available through the Apple TV app on Apple devices, smart TVs, and web browsers. Apple TV+ can also be accessed as part of an Apple One bundle. The contract is governed by Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. As a digital content subscription, it is subject to the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (Part 1, Chapter 3 (digital content) and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013).

What you agree to do

• You must pay the monthly subscription fee through your Apple ID payment method.
• You must not share your account credentials with people outside your household.
• You must not download, copy, or redistribute Apple TV+ content beyond what is permitted for personal offline viewing.
• You must have an Apple ID and accept Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

What you can ask for

• You can cancel at any time and retain access until the end of your current billing period.
• You can share your subscription with up to five other family members through Apple Family Sharing.
• You have the right to a refund if digital content is faulty or not as described under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
• You can download content for offline viewing on Apple devices.

Points worth knowing

• Price can increase with 30 days' noticeApple can raise the subscription price at any time with 30 days' notice. Recent increases have been significant (e.g., from £6.99 to £8.99). You can cancel before the new price takes effect, but there is no price lock.
• Content library is smaller than competitorsApple TV+ focuses on original content only. Unlike Netflix or Disney+, there is no back catalogue of licensed films and series. The value proposition depends on whether you watch Apple originals.
• Auto-renewal after free trialApple TV+ often comes with a free trial (e.g., 7 days, or 3 months with a new Apple device). If you do not cancel before the trial ends, you are automatically charged the full monthly price.
• Account termination for terms violationsApple can suspend or terminate your account if you breach the Media Services Terms, including account sharing beyond Family Sharing limits. You would lose access to all purchased and rented content.
