Terms and Conditions

  • The DIRECTV GOES TO SCHOOL Program (the “Program”) has been established to benefit accredited public or private educational institutions (serving grades K-12 only) located in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, which are tax exempt under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) section 501(c)(3) and described under IRC section 170(b)(1)(A)(ii). Schools must be housed in a facility zoned as a school building by the local municipality. Universities, community colleges, home schools, day care centers or public libraries do not qualify. Eligibility for the Program is determined by DIRECTV in its sole discretion. 
  • Participation in the Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Commercial Viewing Agreement and the Semi-Public Viewing Addendum. Participating schools must execute both the Commercial Viewing Agreement and the Semi-Public Viewing Addendum and complete the Program Authorization Form. Viewing is limited to a classroom environment or in an area readily accessible to students; the DIRECTV System must not be installed in residential/dormitory areas, offices, teacher’s lounges or other private spaces within the school.
  • Participating schools will be provided with a complete DIRECTV® System for up to four rooms, consisting of up to four standard receivers (or up to three standard receivers and one DIRECTV Plus DVR) and four remote controls. DIRECTV provides no warranty or guarantee on donated equipment beyond the standard period furnished by the manufacturer. Installation of all receivers will be at the school's expense. After the installation is complete, the school must call 1-888-330-7827 to activate the receiver(s). All equipment must be installed and activated within 90 days of receipt. Additional receivers may be purchased at the expense of the school from a retailer of its choice and added to the school’s account by calling 1-888-330-7827.
  • The SCHOOL CHOICE® programming package will be provided to participating schools free of charge. Local channels will be provided where available. Eligibility for local channels is based on service address within designated market areas as defined by Nielsen Media Research. The SCHOOL CHOICE® and local channels programming packages are the only options available under the Program; Ordering of Pay Per View or DIRECTV ON DEMAND programming is disabled on school accounts under the Program.
  • DIRECTV reserves the right to cancel or suspend the Program at any time without notice. DIRECTV's decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to the Program. DIRECTV reserves the right to disqualify a school from participation in the Program at any time and to change the Terms and Conditions of the Program without notice. Program changes will be communicated via the directvgoestoschool.com website.
  • By participating in the Program, administrators and schools agree to release DIRECTV Enterprises LLC and each of their respective parent and affiliate companies, subsidiaries, retailers, sales representatives, distributors and advertising and promotion agencies, as well as the officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing from any and all liability, loss, damage or injury sustained in connection with his/her/their participation in the Program.
  • Any legal or equitable claim arising out of participation in the Program (a "Claim") will be resolved only by binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the "JAMS Streamlined Rules"). ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the state where you are located, except this paragraph shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Neither you nor we shall be entitled to join or consolidate Claims in arbitration by or against other individuals or entities, or arbitrate any Claim as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. Accordingly, you and we agree that the JAMS Class Action Procedures do not apply to our arbitration. If, however, the law of your state would find this agreement to dispense with class arbitration procedures unenforceable, then this entire paragraph is unenforceable.
