Electronic Rental definition
Electronic Rental means delivery of audiovisual works via Digital Distribution under a business model whereby a consumer makes a specific, one-time payment for the right to access and view a particular audiovisual work an unlimited number of times within a limited time period (subject to customary rules with respect to the number and type of devices from which such work may be accessed and viewed).
Electronic Rental means the delivery of a single program to a viewer for a limited viewing period (which period is designated by the content licensor or the distributor, as opposed to the viewer) in response to the request of a viewer.
