What it is

Sharing a Peacock subscription outside the user's primary household is prohibited unless the user's service tier expressly permits it, with 'household' defined as devices associated with the primary personal residence. Peacock reserves the right to analyze account usage to detect non-compliance and may suspend or terminate access based on its own determination.
