What the actual!

I must point out that I am an actual customer, that have paid actual money services delivered, not just a user and someone else's product.

I must admit that I have never read more than some random bits of the terms and conditions, but moving does not strike me as an obvious justifiable reason for terminating the contract..

I must point out that I too am an actual customer. In fact, I'm a customer in two ways: I paid Google thousands of dollars in commission on sales I made through Google Wallet; and I'm trying to pay money to watch TV and movies.

They haven't terminated my contact, I just get a payment error whenever I try to buy a movie or TV show.

Curiously, there's no error when buying Android apps or extra Google Drive storage. Seems there's some extra restriction that Hollywood is placing on Google.
