Registration is not the same as a paid upgrade
The official FAQ says free viewing begins after account creation and email verification with a one-time code. Paid monthly or yearly plans are optional upgrades. A registration screen therefore does not by itself mean that the service has stopped offering free viewing.
Use the publisher-controlled register route and retain the exact account email privately. If you already have an account, check its current membership state before opening a second one. A receipt tied to one email may not explain what a differently signed-in screen can access.
A rental-only window can survive a subscription upgrade
FOUND’s FAQ explains that some early-release films are licensed on a rental-only basis before a possible later general-streaming window. It gives rentals up to seventy-two hours to finish or rewatch. Check the chosen film’s actual terms rather than interpreting a rental prompt as a failed subscription.
The FAQ also qualifies worldwide service availability with title-specific country restrictions and says some rights can differ between free-with-ads and subscription viewing. If a film plays under one route but not another, record the offer and country. Do not assume paying more removes a licensing restriction.
Use the billing path that issued the purchase
The publisher directs website subscribers to the online account area and Apple or Roku subscribers to those billing services. It separately says Fire TV purchases and upgrades should be made through its website for use in that app. These are source-specific purchase paths, not a reason to enter a random activation code.
Check the receipt before cancelling, changing a card or paying again. If the upgrade is missing on a device, the FAQ suggests signing out and back in so the account state refreshes. Preserve the original purchase evidence if the expected entitlement still does not appear.
Check captions and the actual film before a session
FOUND says captions are being added with filmmakers but are not guaranteed on every film at release. Inspect the selected title’s caption option and a dialogue section on the intended device before arranging an accessibility-dependent viewing session. Do not infer coverage from another film’s CC icon.
For support, send the exact work, offer type, country, device and observed account state through the official contact route, keeping credentials private. No account was registered, billing changed or horror film played here; the guide describes the publisher’s current distinctions and the information needed to resolve an actual mismatch.
