      In order to purchase Merchandise, Tickets, Services or any other products via the MLBAM Properties or via Third Party Sales Locations, you may be required to provide complete and accurate personal information, including, without limitation, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit or debit card information and shipping address. The Privacy Policy of this Website explains how such information collected via the MLBAM Properties may be collected and used by MLBAM. With respect to Third Party Sales Locations, the privacy policy of any such Third Party Sales Location applies to the collection and use of your personal information by the operators and/or owners of such Third Party Sales Location. Your ability to purchase Merchandise, Tickets, Services and/or any other products offered via the MLBAM Properties is subject to limits established by your card issuer. You must notify MLBAM immediately of any change in your credit or debit card information, including any change to your home address. MLBAM may bill your credit or debit card at the time the Services, Merchandise, Tickets or any other products offered via the MLBAM Properties are ordered or shipped, and the appropriate MLB Club or Vendor may bill your credit or debit card at the time your Tickets are ordered or shipped. You must pay all amounts accrued in your account, including sales tax and shipping and handling charges, when due. MLBAM may in its sole discretion decline service to or terminate any account. Neither MLBAM, nor any other MLB Entity (defined in Section 9 below), nor any Vendor or any operator of any Third Party Sales Location is responsible, and must not be held liable, for any breaches in transaction security by any third party.

      By purchasing any Merchandise, Tickets, Services or any other products offered via the MLBAM Properties, you acknowledge and agree that your credit or debit card is being charged by the payment processor of MLBAM or its Vendor, the operator of such product or service. For purposes of this Agreement, such payment processor will be referred to as a "Vendor."

      By utilizing a credit or debit card for purchase of any Services or any other applicable products offered via the MLBAM Properties, you authorize MLBAM to charge such card on the periodic basis as specified (e.g., once per month for monthly Services) in the amount described on the applicable Service or Services' purchase path(s). In the event that MLBAM is unable to process charges to your primary credit or debit card on such periodic basis or in such amount, you authorize MLBAM to charge an alternative card saved in the Payment Profile section of your MLB.com account.

      If the account number, expiration date or other information of any credit or debit card account associated with your subscription Service changes, MLBAM recommends that you update it as soon as possible. Please also be aware, MLBAM may acquire this current information from our financial services partner and update the Payment Profile section of your MLB.com account to include such revised payment information.

    5. Sales Tax

      For certain purchases of Merchandise, Services or Tickets made via the MLBAM and/or Vendor-operated MLBAM Properties, MLBAM is required to collect sales tax. In states or regions that impose sales or use tax, a purchase is subject to tax unless specifically exempt. Purchases from the MLBAM Properties are not exempt from sales or use taxes simply because they are made from the Internet or because MLBAM is not required to collect sales or use tax by any particular state or region. Whether any sales tax will be collected on a given purchase and the amount of tax charged depends on a number of factors including whether the seller is subject to tax in a given jurisdiction. The purchaser is responsible for any applicable taxes not collected by MLBAM and certain states require purchasers to file a sales/use tax return annually reporting taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay such tax. For details, see the website of, or otherwise contact, the applicable taxing authority. If any sales tax will be collected directly by MLBAM in connection with a purchase that amount will be shown either prior to the completion of any purchase or reflected in the final confirmation of that purchase.

      For Oklahoma purchasers, applicable use tax on purchases made via the MLBAM Properties may be reported and paid on an Oklahoma individual income tax return [Form 511] or by filing a consumer use tax return [Form 21-1]. The referenced forms and corresponding instructions are available on the Oklahoma Tax Commission website, www.tax.ok.gov.

    6. Billing and Automatic Renewal Policies for Certain Subscription Services

      For certain Services billed on a monthly basis (e.g., MLB.TV Premium Monthly and MLB.TV Monthly subscription Services) your subscription will automatically renew monthly during the current MLB season through and including October and annually approximately March 1 each year at the previous MLB season's regular full monthly price, unless you cancel your Service prior to the beginning of the next applicable billing (and renewal) period. The primary credit or debit card you have stored in the Payment Profile section of your MLB.com account will be charged on or about the same date each month of your subscription during any MLB season and each subsequent year as set forth above. If MLBAM is unable to process these charges to your primary credit or debit card, an alternative card stored in the Payment Profile section of your MLB.com account may be charged. In the event MLBAM discontinues or significantly alters a Service that you have purchased with automatic renewal, MLBAM (i) will notify you via the email address provided at purchase, (ii) may provide information about similar or new Services available via the MLBAM Properties and (iii) reserves the right to cancel the applicable Service. If you wish to cancel your monthly Service, you have two options: (a) you may cancel your monthly subscription in its entirety (including the annual automatic renewal of this Service in subsequent years) or (b) you may cancel your monthly subscription for the applicable MLB season, but elect to annually automatically renew (i.e. re-start) your monthly subscription in the following MLB season. To elect either of these options and cancel your monthly Service, you may login to your MLB.com account, access the Audio/Video Subscriptions section and follow the applicable instructions, or send an e-mail to subscriptioncancel@website.mlb.com. In no event will MLBAM provide partial or pro-rated refunds. See below for details.

      For Services billed on a yearly basis (e.g., MLB.TV Premium Yearly, MLB.TV Yearly and MLB.com Gameday Audio Yearly subscription Services), your subscription will automatically renew annually approximately March 1 each year at the previous year's regular full yearly price, unless you cancel your Service prior to the beginning of the next applicable billing (and renewal) period. The primary credit or debit card you have stored in the Payment Profile section of your MLB.com account will be charged on or about March 1 of each subsequent year as set forth above. If MLBAM is unable to process these charges to your primary credit or debit card, an alternative card stored in the Payment Profile section of your MLB.com account may be charged. In the event MLBAM discontinues or significantly alters a Service that you have purchased with automatic renewal, MLBAM (1) will notify you via the email address provided at purchase (2) may provide information about similar or new Services available via the MLBAM Properties and (3) reserves the right to cancel the applicable Service. To cancel your yearly Service, you may login to your MLB.com account, access the Audio/Video Subscriptions section and follow the applicable instructions, or send an e-mail to subscriptioncancel@website.mlb.com. In no event will MLBAM provide partial or pro-rated refunds. See below for details.

      UNLESS YOU NOTIFY US BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT APPLICABLE BILLING (AND RENEWAL) PERIOD THAT YOU WISH TO CANCEL ANY AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING SERVICE, YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AND YOU AUTHORIZE US (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU) TO COLLECT THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEE AND ANY TAXES USING ANY CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD SAVED IN THE PAYMENT PROFILE SECTION OF YOUR MLB.COM ACCOUNT.

    7. Refund Policies for Certain Subscription Services

      MLBAM will refund the purchase price you paid for a subscription Service (e.g. MLB.TV, MLB.com Gameday Audio or MLB.com Gameday Premium) offered via this Website if you make a refund request on this Website by accessing the Audio/Video Subscriptions section of your MLB.com account or e-mail subscriptioncancel@website.mlb.com within five (5) days of your initial purchase or within five (5) days of any annual automatic renewal date. In no event will MLBAM grant you more than one (1) refund during any given MLB season or provide partial or pro-rated refunds.

      Should you wish to cancel your subscription Service at any time, you may login to your MLB.com account, access the Audio/Video Subscriptions section and follow the applicable instructions, or you may e-mail subscriptioncancel@website.mlb.com. If such cancellation request occurs on any date following the fifth (5th) day after your initial purchase or following the fifth (5th) day of any annual automatic renewal date during any subsequent MLB season of your Service, then your cancellation will be effective as follows:

      • Yearly Service: Cancellation of each year after (and not including) the year during which you cancel. NOTE: Each year of your subscription concludes on February 28 of each subsequent year.
      • Annual Automatic Renewal of Yearly Service: If you cancel your yearly subscription Service as set forth immediately above, it will not automatically renew in any subsequent year.
      • Monthly Service: Cancellation of each month after (and not including) the month during which you cancel. NOTE: the first month of your subscription concludes thirty (30) days after your initial purchase date and each subsequent month thirty (30) days thereafter.

    9. Access to Services and Blackout Restrictions

      Subscription activation for Services and other products offered via the MLBAM Properties, and subsequent ability to access Services and other products offered via the MLBAM Properties, may be subject to approval of your valid major credit or debit card and verification of other information that you submit or is otherwise obtained by MLBAM (e.g., your IP address). Scheduled games may be cancelled or substituted when necessary.

      Blackout restrictions apply to Services which allow you to watch video of live games depending on the date of the game, your location and local, national and international broadcast exclusivities. Specifically:

      Regular Season Local Live Blackout: All live games offered via MLB.TV subscription Services, MLB.com Gameday Audio Services and certain other subscription Services are subject to local blackouts. Such live games will be blacked out in each applicable Club's home television territory (except for certain home television territories for which MLBAM may offer in-market subscription Services). If a game is blacked out in an area, it is not available for live game viewing.

      In addition, note:

      • These blackout restrictions apply regardless of whether a Club is home or away and regardless of whether or not a game is televised in a Club's home television territory.
      • All live Toronto Blue Jays games are blacked out throughout the entire country of Canada.
      • Additional Clubs may also be subject to blackout in parts of Canada based on their region.
      • All live games will be blacked out in the U.S. territories of Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands during the MLB regular season.

      To find out which Club's live games are blacked out of the area where you will be watching a game due to these local blackout restrictions, click here.

      Regular Season Weekend National Live Blackout: Due to MLB exclusivities, live games occurring each Saturday with a scheduled start time after 1:10 PM ET or before 7:05 PM ET and each Sunday with a scheduled start time after 5:00 PM ET, will be blacked out in the United States (including the territories of Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands). In addition, in the event of extraordinary circumstances that produce a programming conflict, the above blackout windows may be subject to change. Live Audio of such games is available as part of any MLB.TV subscription Service, as part of the MLB.com Gameday Audio subscription Service and may be available as part of certain other of our subscription Services, including MLB.com Gameday Audio.

      Regular Season Play-In Game: Due to Major League Baseball exclusivities, any play-in game to determine the final team(s) to reach the MLB Postseason, i.e. a 163rd game, will be blacked out in the United States (including the territories of Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Live Audio of such games is available as part of any MLB.TV subscription Service, as part of the MLB.com Gameday Audio subscription Service and may be available as part of certain other of our subscription Services, including MLB.com Gameday Audio.

      Postseason Live Blackout: Due to MLB exclusivities, during the MLB Postseason, all live games available via MLB.TV subscription Services, MLB.com Gameday Audio subscription Services and certain other subscription Services (but excluding Postseason.TV) will be blacked out in the United States (including the territories of Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands) and Canada. Live Audio of MLB Postseason games is available as part of any MLB.TV subscription Service, as part of the MLB.com Gameday Audio subscription Service and may be available as part of certain other subscription Services., including MLB.com Gameday Audio.

      Postseason.TV: Subscribers to the Postseason.TV subscription Service, available only during the MLB Postseason, will be able to view live alternative video feeds (excluding the broadcast feed) from MLB Postseason games without blackout restrictions.

      International Live Blackout: Live games available via an MLB.TV subscription Service or our other subscription Services (including the Postseason.TV subscription Service) may also be subject to blackout in certain International territories. To determine which International territories have current blackout restrictions, click here.

      Blackouts Applicable to the Postseason.TV Subscription Service: Subscribers of the Postseason.TV subscription Service will be able to view fixed live camera angle video feeds of each MLB Postseason game.

      For these Services, you must submit your email address provided by either your Internet Service Provider or place of work. For example, clicking on a live MLB.TV link will perform and trigger a number of checks to make sure that you are located outside of the applicable blackout territory.
