Twitch Terms of Service

This document constitutes Twitch's Terms of Service (last modified April 13, 2026), governing the contractual relationship between Twitch Interactive, Inc. and all users of the Twitch platform, including its live streaming, chat, and associated services. The agreement states that users grant Twitch a broad, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, perpetual, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works from, and distribute any content they upload or transmit; it also asserts mandatory binding arbitration with a class action waiver for US-based users, with a 30-day opt-out window. The terms include a broad indemnification obligation requiring users to defend and hold harmless Twitch and its affiliates from claims arising out of user conduct or content, and the content license grant is notably expansive in scope — asserting perpetual, irrevocable rights over user-generated content — though applicable law, including moral rights protections in certain jurisdictions, may limit how broadly these terms can be enforced. The arbitration and class action waiver provisions engage the Federal Arbitration Act and FTC consumer protection frameworks in the US context, while the global user base and cross-border data flows implicate GDPR for EU/EEA users and various regional privacy regimes; COPPA compliance is relevant given age-gating provisions for users under 13. Content moderation and account termination provisions carry operational significance for creators whose livelihoods depend on platform access, particularly given the terms' broad discretionary suspension and termination rights.
