What their terms actually say
A Netflix account is for people who live together in a single household. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/24926
Your plan determines how many extra member slots you can add. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/24926
Plan prices and extra member eligibility may vary if you have Netflix through a package or add-on. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/24926
You may also be able to use the Netflix service as a profile user under an Account Owner’s subscription, provided you are part of the same household, or as an Extra Member if you do not live in the same household as the Account Owner. https://help.netflix.com/legal/termsofuse
You must be at least 18 years of age to create a Netflix account or to become an Extra Member. https://help.netflix.com/legal/termsofuse
The Netflix service and any content accessed through it are for your personal, non-commercial use only and may not be shared with anyone outside of your household unless you purchased an Extra Member account. https://help.netflix.com/legal/termsofuse
Subject to these Terms and only to the extent you are expressly authorised, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access the Netflix service. https://help.netflix.com/legal/termsofuse
Where permitted by the Account Owner’s subscription plan, the Account Owner may purchase an Extra Member account, authorising a person outside of the Account Owner’s household (the “Extra Member”) to access the Netflix service under the Account Owner’s subscription and subject to these Terms of Use. https://help.netflix.com/legal/termsofuse
Both sides are read from the vendors' own pages and stored with the date and the wording. Prices change without notice; follow the source links on each service's page before relying on one.
