What are the terms and conditions for using the Parental Guidance and Profile Switcher lock?

If you permit a child to use your device, you are solely responsible for determining whether the 大象传媒 content is appropriate for that child to view. The 大象传媒 parental guidance lock provides a way to help you control how guidance-labelled 大象传媒 content may be played on your device. If you turn on the Parental Guidance Lock, the app will not be able to access guidance-labelled content unless you type in your听PIN. If you turn on the Profile Switching听Lock, a child profile can't be switched to an adult profile without entering the PIN.
