TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR DStv CUSTOMERS ADDING SHOWMAX TO THEIR DStv ACCOUNT

1. Introduction
1.1 These terms and conditions set out the contractual basis upon which DStv Customers can add Showmax to their DStv account.
1.2 These Terms and Conditions are in addition to the terms and conditions governing subscription to the MultiChoice Service ("MultiChoice Subscription Terms and Conditions") and the conditions governing subscription to Showmax (Showmax Subscription Terms and Conditions). If there is a conflict between any of these terms and conditions (that is, between Subscription Terms and Conditions and the Terms and Conditions for the Showmax offer), the Showmax Terms and Conditions shall prevail.

2. Interpretation
Unless these Terms and Conditions otherwise provide, terms used in these Terms and Conditions will have the same meaning as that which they have under the Showmax Subscription Terms and Conditions, accessible at Showmax.com and the MultiChoice Subscription Terms and Conditions accessible at www.dstv.com.
3. DStv Payment Facility
3.1 The DStv Payment facility will allow a Showmax subscriber, who is also a DStv Compact Plus, Compact, Family, Access or EasyView subscriber paying via debit order, to add Showmax to their DStv account. In doing so, the subscriber permits MultiChoice to collect the funds for both DStv and Showmax on one debit order on the existing date that MultiChoice collects the debit order for subscription to the DStv Service (“Monthly Debit Order Collection Day”).
3.2 The DStv Payment facility will allow a Showmax subscriber, who is also a DStv Premium subscriber, to add Showmax to their DStv account. In doing so, the subscriber will get Showmax included in their DStv Premium subscription. This offer terminates 31 March 2019, after which the prevailing monthly rate for Showmax will prevail.
3.3 Subscribers can have a maximum of 5 (five) Showmax subscriptions on their DStv account.
3.4 Subscribers taking advantage of the offer in 3.2 can have 1 (one) Showmax subscription included in each DStv Premium subscription.
4. Requirements To Use The DStv Payment Facility
4.1 You may only use DStv Payment facility if you -
4.1.1 are a natural person who has subscribed to, and has an active subscription to any DStv package for your private use in South Africa;
4.1.2 have registered as a user of the DStv website (http://www.dstv.com) by creating a username and password, in accordance with the terms of use of the DStv website.
4.2 DStv Compact Plus, Compact, Family, Access and EasyView customers must be paying their DStv account by debit order in order to use the Payment Facility.
4.3 For DStv Compact Plus, Compact, Family, Access and EasyView customers, the terms and conditions that apply to paying the DStv account by debit order will apply to payment of the Showmax Monthly Fee.
4.4 DStv Compact Plus, Compact, Family, Access and EasyView customers may change their payment method at any time on the Showmax website. If the payment method is changed during a Subscription Period, but before the next Monthly Debit Order Collection Day, the change in payment method will be effective from the next Monthly Billing Date and the next debit order will include the Showmax Monthly Fee.
4.5 If you no longer meet any of the requirements listed in clause 3 and clause 4.1, you will not be able to use this facility and must choose another payment method before your next Monthly Billing Date.
5. Contacting us
If you need assistance regarding the Showmax service, including activation, cancellation or use of the Showmax service, please contact Showmax in any manner indicated on the Showmax website.

I want to have clarity on the terms & conditions. Policies and marketing, by no means the same.

Back end of DSTV where you activate it gives me an error message:

"You will not be able to add a Showmax subscription to your DStv account.
Please make sure that you are a debit order customer, and(or) you have an active package and then try again "


Try to complain on DSTV forum as that seems to be the only way to get them to fix it and i cant post there untill admin allows me post access. Seems like they doing all they can to make it as difficult as possible to get it actually working.
