Roku Website Terms of Use

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Context

These terms govern access to and use of the Roku website; using the site means accepting them

Roku Inc. and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates operate the Roku website and any associated sites of Roku, and these terms govern your access and use of them. The document states that by accessing or using the Roku website — and the content, products and services available on the site — you are accepting these terms, and that if you do not agree with them you do not have the right to access or use the Roku website. Acceptance is therefore tied to use rather than to a separate signature or click.

Roku Website Terms of Use

These terms govern your access and use of the Roku website and any associated sites of Roku, which are operated by Roku Inc. and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates. By accessing or using the Roku website, as well as the content, products, and services available on the site, you are accepting these terms. If you do not agree with these terms, you do not have the right to access or use the Roku website.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The governed objects are the Roku website and any associated sites of Roku, together with the content, products and services available on the site.
• The operator is named as Roku Inc. and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates, without listing which entities.
• Acceptance arises from accessing or using the site, not only from agreeing expressly.

Not stated here

• The document does not name the subsidiaries or affiliates whose sites count as associated sites.

Cross-references

• qualified by (model-proposed): Continued use after changes take effect counts as accepting the revised terms — Acceptance by using the site also covers later versions: once amended terms take effect, continued use is acceptance of them, so the original acceptance mechanism is not limited to the October 17, 2020 text.

Certain features, functionality and content may have additional terms given when they are offered

Roku states that certain features, functionality and content may be subject to additional terms, and that those additional terms will be provided to you at the time those services are offered. This document therefore does not itself contain every term that can apply to use of the website; additional terms can attach to particular services and are supplied later, when those services are offered.

Supporting quotations

Certain features, functionality, and content may be subject to additional terms, which will be provided to you at the time those services are offered.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Only certain features, functionality and content are described this way, not every part of the website.
• The additional terms are to be provided at the time those services are offered, not necessarily in advance.

Not stated here

• This document does not identify which features, functionality or content carry additional terms, and does not include the text of any additional terms.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Company practice

Roku may modify, suspend or remove website features, functionality or content at any time

Qualifications & exceptions

• The reserved right is exercisable at any time.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Access to The Roku Channel is governed by its own separate terms of use

Where The Roku Channel is available, access to it is subject to The Roku Channel Terms of Use, a separate document that this document links to rather than containing.

Supporting quotations

Qualifications & exceptions

• The condition applies to The Roku Channel where it is available.
• The governing terms are the linked The Roku Channel Terms of Use, not these website terms.

Rights under these terms do not apply to content accessed outside the countries where it is offered

Some content is only available in certain countries. If you try to access that content outside those countries, the rights granted under these terms will not apply.

Supporting quotations

Certain content is only available in certain countries. If you attempt to access content outside of these countries, the rights granted under these terms will not apply.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Availability varies by country for certain content.

Not stated here

• This document does not list which content is available in which countries.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Use of a Roku product is governed by that product's own terms of use

After the purchase provisions, the document states that your use of a Roku product is subject to its terms of use. Buying through the website therefore does not settle the terms on which the product itself may be used; those come with the product.

Supporting quotations

Your use of a Roku product is subject to its terms of use.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The condition attaches to use of a Roku product, as distinct from use of the website.

Not stated here

• The product terms of use are not included in this document, so what they require is not established here.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Company information on the website may be inaccurate or out of date and is used at your own risk

The Roku website may contain information about Roku such as press releases, industry news or corporate financial information. Roku states that some of this information may not be entirely accurate, complete, reliable or up to date, and that using it is at your own risk.

Roku states it is not responsible or liable for those interactions or for the products or services they provide to you.

Supporting quotations

The Roku website may also contain offers, promotions, and/or links to products and services provided by others (who are not affiliated with Roku).

The website and its services are provided as is, with warranties disclaimed where the law allows

The Roku website is provided “AS IS” and on an “AS AVAILABLE” basis, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law Roku disclaims any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. Roku also makes no warranty that the services provided through the website will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, secure or error-free basis, and no warranty regarding the quality of any information or content provided through the website. The document adds that some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so these exclusions may not apply to you.

Supporting quotations

We make no warranty that the services provided through the Roku website will meet your requirements or will be available on an uninterrupted, secure, or error-free basis. We make no warranty regarding the quality of any information or content provided through the Roku website.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the exclusions and limitations above may not apply to you.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The disclaimer operates to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, not without limit.
• It names merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and also warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
• Three specific no-warranty statements cover meeting your requirements, uninterrupted secure error-free availability, and the quality of information or content.
• In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, the exclusions may not apply to you.

Not stated here

• This document does not identify which jurisdictions restrict these exclusions.

Cross-references

• has exception (model-proposed): Some jurisdictions do not allow these warranty and liability exclusions — The jurisdiction clause is the document's own carve-out from the warranty disclaimers: where a jurisdiction does not allow excluding certain warranties, those exclusions may not apply to you.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Indirect and punitive damages are excluded where the law permits

When permitted by law, Roku states it will not be responsible for any indirect, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages. The exclusion is limited by law and does not reach every jurisdiction for every damage type.

Supporting quotations

WHEN PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the exclusions and limitations above may not apply to you.

Qualifications & exceptions

• It covers indirect, special, consequential, exemplary and punitive damages.
• In jurisdictions that do not allow exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, it may not apply to you.

• has exception (model-proposed): Some jurisdictions do not allow these warranty and liability exclusions — The same clause expressly names exclusions or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, which is the category the damages-exclusion card covers, so that card applies only where the law permits it.

Total liability is capped at the price paid for website purchases or 50 US dollars, whichever is more

To the extent permitted by law, Roku's total liability from all causes of action and under all theories of liability, including implied warranties, is limited to the purchase price you paid for Roku products purchased via the Roku website or 50 US dollars, whichever is more. In all cases Roku states it will not be liable for loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable.

Supporting quotations

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AND UNDER ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING FOR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IS LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE (THAT YOU PAID) FOR ANY ROKU PRODUCTS PURCHASED VIA THE ROKU WEBSITE OR $50 USD (WHICHEVER IS MORE). IN ALL CASES, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT IS NOT REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The cap applies to the extent permitted by law.
• The cap is the greater of two amounts: the purchase price you paid for Roku products purchased via the Roku website, or 50 US dollars.
• The purchase-price measure is limited to Roku products purchased via the Roku website, so use of the website without such a purchase falls to the 50 US dollars amount.
• Liability for loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable is excluded in all cases.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Some jurisdictions do not allow these warranty and liability exclusions

The document states that some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, and that because of this the exclusions and limitations set out above may not apply to you.

Supporting quotations

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the exclusions and limitations above may not apply to you.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The qualification is framed by jurisdiction rather than by user choice.
• It covers both warranty exclusions and exclusions or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages.
• Its effect is that the exclusions and limitations may not apply, not that they are void everywhere.

Not stated here

Claims must be arbitrated individually, subject to opt-outs set out elsewhere

All claims arising out of or relating to your Roku account or any Roku product or service are to be resolved exclusively through arbitration, according to the linked Dispute Resolution Terms, unless you opted out or another exception applies.

• It is subject to an opt-out or another exception, without those exceptions being listed here.
• Claims may proceed only on an individual basis, excluding class, consolidated and representative actions.
• The procedure itself is in the linked Dispute Resolution Terms, not in this document.

Cross-references

Qualifications & exceptions

• The stated consequence of disagreement is possible loss of continued use of your product with your Roku account, rather than a stated right to terminate or to keep using older terms.

Not stated here

• This document does not describe any way to reject amended terms while keeping access, and does not supply any later version.
