Q: What are the details of Hulu's new account sharing rules? A. New Hulu customers in the United States are now subject to Hulu's updated subscriber agreement banning password sharing. A notice sent to existing customers informed them that the overhauled agreement would be in effect for them on March 14, though subscribers who acknowledge an in-app notification about the update will then see the rules take hold immediately.Unlike Netflix — which detailed how it would use IP addresses, device IDs, and account activity to determine whether a subscriber was in their household or not — Hulu's updated subscriber agreement is light on details for exactly how it will determine whether the person using a given Hulu account is the person paying for that account. Hulu's new user agreement reads, "Unless otherwise permitted by your Service Tier, you may not share your subscription outside of your household. 'Household' means the collection of devices associated with your primary personal residence that are used by the individuals who reside therein." The agreement does make clear that Hulu has the authority to check on whether you're sharing your account at any time, and that violators of these rules risk having their access to Hulu limited or terminated altogether. |
