The Netflix subscription through Astro is subject to a minimum commitment period of 24 months (“Netflix Minimum Subscription Period”). If you choose to discontinue or terminate the subscription before the commitment period ends, a cancellation fee (“Netflix Early Termination Fee”) will apply. Additionally, downgrading your plan will involve a Switching Fee.

While we understand that some customers prefer to buy individual channels, the new packs are designed to offer content at a more affordable price by bundling channels together. As a result, individual channel purchases (ala carte) are not available with the new packs. This approach helps us provide a wider range of content at better value for all customers.

Redemption should be done by the account holder. However, if the account holder is unavailable, immediate family members can make the redemption provided that the account holder has given them the permission to redeem using his account credentials.

You will be able to access Netflix on your Ultra and Ulti Box. However, kindly note that if you have an Ulti Box with a Netflix Premium subscription, you will not be able to watch content in 4K UHD and Netflix Spatial Audio.

Customers will still be charged a penalty of RM 100 (exclusive of Sales and Service Tax), as per our terms and conditions, as the Astro Box & SIM Card are properties of Astro.

Please make sure that:

• You are entering the correct account holder's information while linking, ie: I/C number, passport number, Astro account number or Smart card number.
