The clause establishes a mandatory dispute resolution mechanism that channels all covered claims away from judicial proceedings and class-based actions toward individual arbitration. This affects how legal disputes are adjudicated—through a neutral arbitrator rather than courts—and eliminates the procedural framework of collective litigation.
Users operating under these terms must pursue any covered dispute through JAMS arbitration on an individual basis rather than through court proceedings or collective actions. The arbitration process replaces judicial review as the mechanism for determining rights and resolving claims between the user and Twitch.
