The specific movies available through the OD Service shall be determined by AMC Theatres in its sole discretion. The availability of OD Content will change from time to time and may not always be available on all devices, for all transaction types and/or in all formats.

While using the OD Service, you may encounter OD Content that you find offensive or objectionable. Not all OD Content is appropriate for all users. If you are a parent, it is your responsibility to monitor the OD Content selections and viewing habits of your children. AMC Theatres shall have no liability to you for the type or content of the OD Content you or others access via the OD Service.
When you rent or purchase OD Content, you will be granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable limited license to access, use in accordance with any additional terms that may be provided with your Compatible Device, and view the OD Content as provided in these OD Service Terms.
You understand and agree that the OD Content is licensed by AMC Theatres from Content Providers. Copyrights in the OD Content are owned by the Content Providers and protected by the copyright laws of the United States, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. Except as expressly provided herein, no right, title or interest in the OD Content is transferred to you. All OD Content is licensed, not sold, transferred or assigned to you.

Generally, OD Content will be accessible by downloading a copy or streaming. We may place limitations on the number of streams for a piece of OD Content (including limitations on the number of simultaneous streams), as well as the number of downloads of a piece of OD Content. The number and type of devices and concurrent streams may change without notice to you. No more than 3 total streaming sessions may be active at the same time using the same AMC Stubs Account.
Unless otherwise provided on the OD Content title detail page, you will have 30 days from the date of the rental transaction to initiate viewing rented OD Content (the “Rental Period”). Once you have initiated viewing of rented OD Content, you will have 48 hours to complete watching it, provided that there are 48 hours remaining in the Rental Period.
You may only have 2 simultaneous streams of the same rented OD Content. When a download option is available, you may download the rented OD Content to only 1 Authorized Device. A download of rented OD Content shall count toward the 2 permitted simultaneous streams, such that you may only have 1 stream of rented OD Content that has also been downloaded to an Authorized Device.

However, any OD Content may become unavailable at any time and for any reason, including Content Provider restrictions.

Downloaded purchased OD Content may become locked or disabled if the Authorized Device is not connected to the OD Service for a period of more than 30 days. Downloads of purchased OD Content will not count toward the permitted streams.

AMC Theatres may determine the accepted payment methods from time to time in its sole discretion. Payment methods include credit, debit, and gift cards.

Each of these promotional codes is subject to the terms and conditions disclosed with the offer, including restrictions as to the OD Content for which the promotional codes may be used.

Back to TopRefunds
Payments for OD Content are nonrefundable and there is no right to refunds or credits, unless required by applicable law. If you have difficulty accessing OD Content that you have purchased or rented or believe such OD Content is defective, please contact customer service right away at 877-440-4262. You agree that your exclusive remedy for a defective rental or purchase of OD Content is replacement with a non-defective copy (or access to a non-defective stream) of the same OD Content.

In the event of a refund, AMC Theatres will terminate your access to any OD Content for which a refund was provided.
Back to TopLocker Service
“Locker Services" are services that we may support that are run by third parties and allow content purchased through one source (an “Entitlement”) to be viewable through either that source or other sources by linking your accounts on the respective sources (“Entitlement Sharing”). By linking your OD Service account to a Locker Service account, you are providing your express consent to allow us to share information about you (which may include your personal information and content viewing information) with operator of the Locker Service. The Locker Service in turn may share this information with other video providers with whom you link your Locker Service account.
If you link your OD Service account to a Locker Service account, you can view your eligible content from that Locker Service through the OD Service, even if you didn't purchase that content from the OD Service. In addition, you will be able to view your eligible purchased OD Content through the Locker Service. Not all purchased OD Content and/or Locker Service content may be eligible for Entitlement Sharing across all services or devices. Rented OD Content will not be eligible for Entitlement Sharing.
Unlinking your Locker Service account will cease all future Entitlement Sharing between the Locker Service and the OD Service. Content not purchased through your OD Service account will no longer be available through the OD Service. Entitlements for purchased OD Content which have been shared with a Locker Service prior to unlinking may continue to be available through the Locker Service.
AMC Theatres does not guarantee, represent or warrant that your access to or use of a Locker Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that the Locker Service will not be terminated.
