Create the Plex Home

To create a Plex Home, all you need to do is simply create a managed user account . Plex Pass subscribers can also invite a regular Plex account, or enable a generic Guest account. Once the user is added (and the invitation accepted, in the case of a regular Plex Account), the Home is created.

Managed users can also be created from the Switch User menu by selecting Add User in Web, TV and Mobile apps

switchuser

For Plex Pass admins, if you are already sharing with a user. You can add them by editing their share and clicking on the home icon on the top right.

Regular Plex accounts will be sent an invite to the home which they can acccept via an email sent or in Users & Sharing when signed into their account. If they are a new friend you have also just shared with, be aware they will be sent two separate emails.

When the Home is initially being created, the user will be presented with an info window that explains some of the security changes that are made to the Plex Media Server.

When adding a home user if you do not have a PIN on your account it will suggest adding a PIN

Keep adding members to your Home, and you’ll soon be done!

Nevertheless, you acknowledge and agree that you shall be responsible for monitoring your own and your Authorized User(s)’s use of the Plex Solution and for maintaining compliance with this TOS and any third party license restrictions for applicable Content.

LICENSE GRANT RESTRICTIONS. This TOS is only a license and not an assignment or sale. Plex transfers no ownership or intellectual property interest or title in and to the Plex Solution to you or anyone else. Further, Plex reserves all rights not expressly granted by this TOS.

Plex will comply with such a proper request and cease its own use of the Interfacing Software, but Plex must be granted a transition period of at least thirty (30) days after receipt of the request to comply. Plex, however, shall not be obligated to confirm removal or cessation of the Interfacing Software by you or others (including Authorized Users) outside its control.
GENERAL USER OBLIGATIONS. You represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age (or the legal age of majority, whichever is greater) and will, at all times, provide true, accurate, current, and complete information when submitting information or materials on or through the Plex Solution, including, without limitation, when you provide information via a Plex Solution registration, account, or submission form.

Moreover, Plex does not endorse, oppose, or edit any opinion or information provided by you or another user (unless separately and expressly provided by Plex) and does not make any representation with respect to, nor does it endorse the accuracy, integrity, quality, acceptability, completeness, timeliness, lawfulness, suitability, or reliability of any User Content or communications displayed, uploaded, or distributed by you or any other user. You also acknowledge that Plex has no control over the extent to which any idea, content, or information may be used by any party or person once it’s posted, shared, or displayed.

You may be required to create login credentials, such as a user name and password, or adhere to other particular access requirements as designated by Plex in its sole discretion from time to time. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account and agree to keep your login credentials confidential and secure. You acknowledge that Plex may not provide controls that restrict the maturity level of content available through the Plex Solution. If you allow your child (under the age of 18 or the legal age of majority, whichever is greater) to access your Plex account, you are solely responsible for monitoring your child’s use of the Plex Solution and determining what maturity level is appropriate for or accessible to your child. You shall immediately notify Plex if you suspect or become aware of any loss or theft of or unauthorized use of your access credentials.

OTHER THAN THE RIGHT TO FULFILL ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS TOS, AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PLEX EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF INTERFERENCE WITH ENJOYMENT OF INFORMATION, SECURITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. MOREOVER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT PLEX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLEX SOLUTION WILL OPERATE FREE OF VIRUSES, MALWARE, OR HARMFUL PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE (OR CODE), ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR IN A MANNER THAT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR MEET ANY LEGAL, TECHNICAL, OR CERTIFICATION STANDARD. BECAUSE THE PLEX SOLUTION IS BASED ON YOUR CONTENT AND DATA, THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PLEX SOLUTION IS WITH YOU. IF THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY IS HELD TO BE UNENFORCEABLE BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN ANY MANNER, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND/OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES MANDATED BY SUCH COURT SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO A PERIOD OF THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE INITIAL PERIOD FOR THE PLEX SOLUTION AND NO WARRANTIES SHALL APPLY AFTER THIS THIRTY (30) DAY PERIOD.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

You and Plex agree to only bring claims arising from this TOS on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless you and Plex agree otherwise, more than one person’s or party’s claims may not be consolidated. You and Plex agree that relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) may be awarded only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s).
INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Plex (and its affiliated companies, contractors, employees, agents, and suppliers and partners) harmless from any and all claims, suits, actions, liabilities, losses, costs, damages, expenses, and any other liabilities, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related in any manner to your breach or alleged breach of this TOS, your Interfacing Software, or for any violation or alleged violation of the rights (including, without limitation, patents, copyrights, or trademark rights) of any other person or entity by your User Content.
ARBITRATION. You agree that all disputes between you and Plex (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to your relationship with Plex, including, without limitation, disputes related to this TOS, your use of the Plex Solution, and/or rights of privacy and/or publicity, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration. Without limiting Plex’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief (as set forth below), any disputes arising with respect to this TOS between you and Plex (“parties”) shall be referred to an arbitrator affiliated with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”). The arbitrator shall be selected by joint agreement of the parties. In the event the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the initiating party providing the other party with written notice that it plans to seek arbitration, the parties shall each select an arbitrator affiliated with JAMS, which arbitrators shall jointly select a third such arbitrator to resolve the dispute. Arbitration shall be conducted under the rules then prevailing of JAMS/ENDISPUTE Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration. The parties specifically incorporate the terms of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1283.05 with respect to discovery. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration proceeding shall be carried on and heard in Santa Clara County, California using the English language. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this TOS, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees from the other party. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor Plex will participate in a class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this TOS. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
GOVERNING LAW. The Plex Solution is controlled and operated by Plex from its offices within the United States. This TOS has been made in and will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California as applied to agreements entered into and completely performed in the State of California. You access and use the Plex Solution on your own volition and are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws with respect to your access and use of the Plex Solution. Additionally, Plex’s headquarters are located in the United States. Please be aware that information you provide to Plex, or that Plex obtains as a result of your use of the Plex Solution, may be processed and transferred to the United States and be subject to United States law. Subject to the foregoing arbitration right, any action to enforce this TOS will be brought in the courts presiding in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County and the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and all parties to this TOS expressly agree to be subject to the jurisdiction of such courts. You and Plex waive trial by jury. Moreover, you may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor Plex will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this TOS. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if Plex is a party to the proceeding.
COMMUNICATIONS AND NOTICE. Any communication(s) or notice (and any related materials or information) to be sent pursuant to this TOS shall be in the English language and shall be deemed provided: (a) upon receipt if by personal delivery; (b) upon receipt if sent by certified or registered U.S. Mail (return receipt requested); (c) one day after it is sent if by next-day delivery by a major commercial delivery service; or (d) with respect to termination of this TOS or for information applicable generally to end users of the Plex Solution, to the email address designated by you.

INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. You acknowledge that any breach, threatened or actual, of this TOS, including, without limitation, with respect to unauthorized use of Plex proprietary assets, will cause irreparable injury to Plex, such injury would not be quantifiable in monetary damages, and Plex would not have an adequate remedy at law. You therefore agree that Plex shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any breach, threatened or actual, of your obligations under any provision of this TOS. Accordingly, you hereby waive any requirement that Plex post any bond or other security in the event any injunctive or equitable relief is sought by or awarded to Plex to enforce any provision of this TOS.
TERM AND TERMINATION. This TOS will take effect (or re-take effect) at the (and each) time you begin installing, accessing, or using the Plex Solution, WHICHEVER IS EARLIEST, and is effective until terminated as set forth below. Plex reserves the right to terminate this TOS at any time on reasonable grounds, which shall specifically include, without limitation, discontinuation of the Plex Solution (or related services) as an offering of the Plex business, nonpayment, termination of account, fraudulent or unlawful activity, or actions or omissions that violate this TOS, subject to the survival rights of certain provisions identified below. In addition, Plex shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action in the event of breach or (alleged) criminal activity, including alerting legal authorities, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion.

Further, Plex shall not be responsible for any damage that may result or arise out of termination of this TOS.
WAIVER & SEVERABILITY. Failure to insist on strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of this TOS will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or failure of performance. No waiver by Plex of any right under this TOS will be deemed to be either a waiver of any other right or provision or a waiver of that same right or provision at any other time. If any part of this TOS is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers, venue, claim, and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable, provision that most clearly matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of this TOS shall continue in effect.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Plex as a result of this TOS or your utilization of the Plex Solution, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Plex in any respect whatsoever. This TOS represents the entire agreement between you and Plex with respect to your individual use of the Plex Solution. This TOS is not assignable, transferable, or sub-licensable by you except with Plex’s prior written consent. Plex may transfer, assign, or delegate this TOS and its rights and obligations without consent. Please note that Plex reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of this TOS and the terms and conditions under which the Plex Solution and its offerings are extended to you by posting online a revised TOS or mailing and/or e-mailing notice thereof to you. In addition, Plex may add, modify, or delete any aspect, program, functionality, or feature of the Plex Solution.
