The following is a plain-language summary of the key terms governing the Sling TV streaming service. For the complete, legally binding Terms of Service, always refer to the official document at sling.com. For questions about these terms, contact Sling TV customer service through the official Help Center at sling.com/help.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By creating a Sling TV account, subscribing to any Sling TV plan, or accessing any content, feature, or function of the Sling TV platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be fully bound by these Terms and Conditions and Sling TV's Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not create an account or use the Sling TV service. These terms apply equally to free-tier users, paid subscribers, and trial users.
2. Eligibility Requirements
Sling TV is available to users who are 18 years of age or older, or to minors using the service under direct parental or guardian supervision where the guardian agrees to these terms on the minor's behalf. Sling TV is a United States-based service intended for use within the United States. Circumventing geographic access controls through VPN services, proxy servers, or other location-masking technology is a violation of these terms and may result in account suspension or termination without a refund.
3. Account Security
You are fully responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your Sling TV login credentials. You agree not to share your password with persons outside your household or allow unauthorized third parties access to your account. All activity occurring under your Sling TV account — regardless of whether you personally authorized it — is your responsibility. If you suspect unauthorized access, change your password immediately and notify Sling TV customer service. Sling TV reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these security provisions.
4. Subscription and Billing
Sling TV subscriptions are billed on a recurring monthly basis unless otherwise specified. By subscribing, you authorize Sling TV to automatically charge your designated payment method at the start of each billing period until you cancel. Sling TV may modify subscription pricing with reasonable advance notice, and continued use after a price change constitutes your acceptance of the new rate. Promotional pricing is subject to the specific terms of each promotion. Creating multiple accounts to repeatedly exploit free trial offers is a violation of these terms.
5. Licensed Content and Intellectual Property
All content on the Sling TV platform — including live sports, news broadcasts, entertainment programming, movies, and on-demand titles — is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Your subscription grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to stream content within the United States for private, non-commercial viewing only. You are prohibited from copying, recording (except via authorized Cloud DVR), downloading, rebroadcasting, publicly displaying, modifying, distributing, or creating derivative works from any Sling TV content. Screen recording of Sling TV streams is expressly prohibited.
6. Prohibited Uses
When using Sling TV you agree not to: circumvent digital rights management or content protection systems; use automated bots or scrapers to access platform content or data; reverse-engineer any component of the Sling TV application; attempt unauthorized access to Sling TV systems or other subscribers' accounts; transmit malicious code or viruses; use Sling TV for commercial, public display, or broadcast purposes without written authorization from DISH Network; or engage in conduct that interferes with the performance of the Sling TV service or the experience of other subscribers.
7. Service Availability and Content Changes
Sling TV makes reasonable efforts to provide continuous service but does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free availability at all times. The content library is subject to change due to evolving licensing agreements, carriage disputes, geographic restrictions, and editorial decisions. Sling TV reserves the right to add, remove, or modify any channel, feature, or aspect of the service without prior notice. Subscribers do not have a vested right to any specific piece of content or channel being available throughout their subscription.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Sling TV service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. DISH Network and Sling TV make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or uninterrupted availability of the platform. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all implied warranties are expressly disclaimed with respect to the Sling TV service.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sling TV's aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or related to these terms or your use of the service shall not exceed the total subscription fees you paid to Sling TV in the three calendar months immediately preceding the applicable claim. Sling TV shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the service.
10. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States. Most Sling TV subscriber concerns can be resolved by contacting Sling TV customer service through the official Help Center at sling.com/help. For matters that cannot be resolved informally, the complete Sling TV Terms of Service at sling.com provide for binding individual arbitration. Participation in class actions is waived to the fullest extent permissible under law.
11. Modifications to These Terms
Sling TV may revise these Terms and Conditions at any time. When material changes occur, affected subscribers will be notified by email or in-app notice. Updated terms become effective on the date stated in the notice. Continued use of Sling TV after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the modified terms. If you do not agree to the revised terms, you must cancel your subscription and discontinue use before the stated effective date.
