Automatic opt-in to ToS change

Incident

Moviesanywhere.com, a consolidated platform that aggregates movie purchases from various online retailers into one library, notified users of a opt-out change in their Terms of Service (TOS). Therefore, as per the email, the user is already opted into a new updated agreement and will be under those conditions effective as of June 12, 2024.

Emailed TOS from MoviesAnywhere

Impact on consumers

Unless the account owner manually intervenes, the updated TOS will apply arbitration and removal of unauthorized content from the user's account. Moviesanywhere.com stipulates that "You may not and agree not to redeem an unauthorized, expired, invalid, or used digital code...", thereby allowing the company to remove content which it has deemed to meet that criteria.
