The Roku Channel App Terms of Use

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Company practice

Accessing the app counts as accepting these terms

These terms govern access to and use of The Roku Channel app, which the document describes as a streaming video service and app operated by Roku Inc. and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates. Merely accessing or using the app is treated as accepting them, so no separate agreement step is required. Someone who does not agree is told they have no right to use the app.

Supporting quotations

These terms govern your access and use of The Roku Channel app, which is a streaming video service and app operated by Roku Inc. and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates.

By accessing or using The Roku Channel app, you are accepting these terms.

If you do not agree with these terms, you do not have the right to use the The Roku Channel app.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Acceptance is triggered by access or use, not only by creating or signing in to an account.
• The operator is stated as Roku Inc. and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates, not a single named entity.

Not stated here

• The document does not say how acceptance is shown for a user who never signs in to a Roku account.

Cross-references

• referred to by (model-proposed): Changes take effect against you if you keep using the app — Amendments are accepted the same way the terms were first accepted: by conduct. Keeping the two together shows there is no separate consent click for either the original terms or their changes.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Some features come with their own extra terms

Certain features, functionality and content may be governed by additional terms beyond this document. Those extra terms are promised at the time the relevant services are offered, so this document alone does not state everything that can apply inside the app.

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

• Applies only to the features, functionality and content that carry additional terms; the document does not identify which ones.
• The additional terms are to be provided when those services are offered, and their text is not part of this document.

Not stated here

• Which features currently carry additional terms, and the content of those terms, are not supplied here.

Cross-references

• refers to (model-proposed): App store notice terms also apply — Two separate documents are layered onto this one: terms for particular features, provided later, and the app store notice named in General. Both are outside this text, so the app's full rule set is not contained in this document.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Company practice

Features and content can be modified, suspended or removed

The right to modify, suspend or remove features, functionality or content is reserved at any time. Because the right is stated without a notice requirement or a reason, an app capability a user relies on may change or disappear without advance warning under these terms.

Supporting quotations

We reserve the right (at any time) to modify, suspend, or remove certain features, functionality, or content from The Roku Channel app.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The reserved right is stated to apply at any time.
• The document does not promise notice, a reason, or continuity of any particular feature.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Permission or license

The app is licensed for personal, non-commercial use on a compatible device

Installation and use are permitted on a compatible mobile device, only for personal, non-commercial purposes. Checking that the device works with the app is the user's responsibility, so no compatibility is promised by these terms.

Supporting quotations

You may install and use the app on a compatible mobile device, only for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You are responsible for ensuring system compatibility between your device and the app.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Limited to personal, non-commercial purposes.
• Limited to installation and use on a compatible mobile device.
• System compatibility between the device and the app is the user's responsibility.

Not stated here

• Which devices count as compatible is not listed in this document.

Cross-references

• narrowed by (model-proposed): Rights not expressly granted stay with Roku and its licensors — Because every right not expressly granted stays with Roku or its licensors, the personal non-commercial permission to install and use the app is the whole of what the user holds, not a floor below other implied rights.

Account & Service Control · Restriction or exception

Breaking these terms can end your account or app access

Roku reserves the right to suspend or terminate a user's right to access their account and/or use the app after any violation of these terms. The remedy reaches the account as well as the app, so a breach here can also affect the wider Roku account used elsewhere.

Supporting quotations

If you violate any of these terms, we have the right to suspend or terminate your right to access your account and/or use the app.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Triggered by violating any of these terms; no threshold of seriousness is stated.
• Suspension or termination may reach either the account or the app, or both.

Not stated here

• No notice period, appeal route or reinstatement process is described for this suspension.

Cross-references

• contrast (model-proposed): Access can be cut for hacked accounts, rights problems or suspected fraud — Both end access, but on different triggers and standards: this card turns on a breach of the terms, while the other turns on a belief that the account was compromised, the content unlawful or the activity fraudulent.

Data Access & Collection · Context

Data handling is described in a separate Privacy Policy

This document only points to Roku's Privacy Policy for how it collects, uses and discloses information about users and their use of the app. No data-collection rule is set out here; the linked policy is not part of this text and was not supplied with it.

Supporting quotations

provides information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users and their use of the app

Qualifications & exceptions

• The terms themselves state no data rule; they reference the separate Privacy Policy for that.

Not stated here

• The content of the referenced Privacy Policy is not included in the analyzed document, so no collection, use or disclosure practice is evidenced here.

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception

You may not copy, modify, distribute or build on the app

Copying, modifying, adapting, distributing, translating or creating derivative works of the app is prohibited. This is a restriction on the app software itself and is stated without any listed exception.

Supporting quotations

copy, modify, adapt, distribute, translate, or create derivative works of the app;

Qualifications & exceptions

• No exception for these acts is stated in this list.

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception

Reverse engineering is barred except for narrow inter-operability

Decompiling, disassembling, reverse engineering or otherwise trying to derive the app's source code is prohibited. The only exception is where applicable law forbids the prohibition, and then only if the act is essential to achieve inter-operability with other software, is done only for that inter-operability, and is neither disclosed nor used to create similar software.

Supporting quotations

decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise try to derive the source code of the app

except to the extent such actions cannot be prohibited under applicable law and then, only if it is essential to achieve inter-operability with other software, is done only to achieve such inter-operability, and is not disclosed or used to create any similar software

Qualifications & exceptions

• Exception applies only where applicable law prevents the prohibition.
• The act must be essential to achieve inter-operability with other software and done only for that purpose.
• Results may not be disclosed or used to create any similar software.

Not stated here

• Which jurisdictions' law would permit the exception is not stated.

Security & Safeguards · Restriction or exception

Unauthorized access and bypassing app controls are prohibited

Users may not engage in or facilitate unauthorized access to or use of the app, and may not disable, bypass, circumvent or interfere with any security mechanism or access control measure. Together these bar both getting in without authorization and defeating the technical controls that protect the app.

Supporting quotations

engage in or facilitate any unauthorized access to or use of the app;

disable, bypass, circumvent, or interfere with any security mechanism or access control measures.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Facilitating another party's unauthorized access is covered as well as doing it directly.
• The prohibition covers interference with security mechanisms and access control measures generally, not a named technology.

Cross-references

• contrast (model-proposed): Copying content is barred and DRM may enforce it — Both prohibit circumvention but protect different things: this card covers content-protection technology applied to content, while the other covers security mechanisms and access controls protecting the app itself.

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception

The app may not be sold or transferred

Selling or transferring the app is listed among the prohibited acts. Combined with the personal, non-commercial permission to install and use it, the app is not something the document allows a user to pass on to someone else.

Supporting quotations

sell or transfer the app; or

Qualifications & exceptions

• Covers both sale and transfer.

Cross-references

• qualified by (model-proposed): Only you and Roku are parties, and your rights do not transfer — The general statement that the user's rights are not transferable is what gives the prohibition on selling or transferring the app its effect; the two are consistent rather than competing.

Charges & Financial Obligations · Company practice

You provide the connection and pay its data charges

Access requires an internet connection, data charges may apply depending on the user's own data plan, and paying them is the user's responsibility. Display quality of streaming content can vary by device and is affected by factors including internet speeds, WiFi strength and location, so no particular streaming quality is promised.

Supporting quotations

Access to the app requires an internet connection.

Data charges may apply, depending on your data plan, which is your responsibility to pay.

The display quality of streaming content on the app can vary by device and is affected by many factors, including your internet speeds, WiFi strength, and location.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Data charges depend on the user's own plan and are the user's to pay.
• Display quality varies by device and depends on internet speeds, WiFi strength and location.

Not stated here

• No minimum connection speed or display quality is stated.

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception

Streaming content is for your personal, non-commercial use

Content on the app is stated to be intended for personal, non-commercial use only. The limit applies to the content viewed through the app, alongside the same limit stated for installing and using the app itself.

Supporting quotations

Content on The Roku Channel app is intended for your personal, non-commercial use only.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Personal, non-commercial use only.
• Stated as the intended use of the content, not as a separately enforced prohibition in this sentence.

Account & Service Control · Restriction or exception

Premium content requires signing in to a Roku account

Accessing premium content requires logging in to a Roku account. Free use of the app is therefore separate from the account sign-in that unlocks premium content.

Supporting quotations

To access premium content on The Roku Channel, you will need to login to your Roku account.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Applies to premium content on The Roku Channel, not stated for the app's non-premium use.

Not stated here

• What distinguishes premium content from other content is not defined in this document.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Other providers' own terms and data practices apply to their content

Some content and services in the app come from other content providers and may be subject to their own terms and policies, including their privacy and data-gathering practices. Those outside terms bind the user when accessing that content through the app, so the protections in this document are not the only ones that matter.

Supporting quotations

Some content and services may be provided by other content providers, which may be subject to their own terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices.

Those terms and policies will apply (and you are obligated to abide by them) when you access their content through the app.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Applies to content and services provided by other content providers, not to content Roku provides itself.
• Includes those providers' privacy and data-gathering practices.
• Their terms and policies apply when the user accesses their content through the app.

Not stated here

• Neither the identity of these providers nor the text of their terms is supplied here.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Company practice

Content and providers may change without notice

Roku may update, add or remove content, and may add or drop content providers from time to time, possibly without telling the user. Titles a user expects can therefore disappear from the app without advance notification.

Supporting quotations

We may update, add, or remove content, and/or content providers from time to time (possibly without notice to you).

Qualifications & exceptions

• Changes may be made without notice to the user.
• Applies to both content and content providers.

Not stated here

• No notice period or minimum catalogue commitment is promised.

Account & Service Control · Restriction or exception

Access can be cut for hacked accounts, rights problems or suspected fraud

Access to the app or to certain content may be restricted or removed where there is reason to believe the user's Roku account has been hacked, stolen or compromised, or that the content is not properly authorized or licensed in the user's country or violates applicable law. Access may also be suspended where Roku believes suspension is necessary to protect itself, its content providers or partners from conduct it believes to be fraudulent, improper or illegal — a standard judged by Roku's own belief.

Supporting quotations

We reserve the right to restrict (or remove) access to the app (or to certain content) if we have reason to believe that your Roku account has been hacked, stolen, or compromised, or that the content is not properly authorized or licensed in your country or violates applicable law.

We may also suspend your access to the app if we believe it is necessary to protect Roku or our content providers and partners from what we believe to be fraudulent, improper, or illegal activity.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Account-based ground: reason to believe the account was hacked, stolen or compromised.
• Content-based ground: reason to believe content is not properly authorized or licensed in the user's country or violates applicable law.
• Fraud ground turns on what Roku believes is necessary to protect Roku, its content providers and partners.

Not stated here

• The terms do not describe notice, evidence, or any way to challenge a restriction made on these grounds.

Cross-references

• contrast (model-proposed): Breaking these terms can end your account or app access — Both end access, but on different triggers and standards: this card turns on a breach of the terms, while the other turns on a belief that the account was compromised, the content unlawful or the activity fraudulent.

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception

Copying content is barred and DRM may enforce it

Copying or redistribution of certain content is strictly prohibited, and digital rights management or other technologies may be used to prevent or restrict copying or re-distribution. Users agree not to try to circumvent or avoid those measures, so technical protection is backed by a contractual promise not to defeat it.

Supporting quotations

Copying or redistribution of certain content is strictly prohibited, and digital rights management or other technologies may be used to prevent or restrict any copying or re-distributing of any content, which you agree not to try to circumvent or avoid.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The copying and redistribution prohibition is stated for certain content, not necessarily all content.
• DRM or other protective technologies may be used; the user agrees not to circumvent or avoid them.

Not stated here

• Which content is covered, and which technologies are used, are not identified.

Cross-references

• contrast (model-proposed): Unauthorized access and bypassing app controls are prohibited — Both prohibit circumvention but protect different things: this card covers content-protection technology applied to content, while the other covers security mechanisms and access controls protecting the app itself.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Some content is limited to countries where the app is authorized

Certain content is only available in countries where the app has been authorized to broadcast it. Attempting to reach content outside those countries means the rights granted under these terms do not apply, content providers may use technology to determine or verify location, and the user may be unable to use the app outside the designated country. Users are also responsible for complying with applicable laws that apply to their use of the app.

Supporting quotations

Certain content is only available in those countries where The Roku Channel app has been authorized to be broadcast.

If you attempt to access content outside of these countries, the rights granted under these terms will not apply.

Some content providers may use technologies to determine or verify your location, and you may not be able to access The Roku Channel app outside of your designated country.

You are responsible for complying with any applicable laws that apply to your use of the app.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Availability depends on the countries where the app is authorized to broadcast the content.
• Outside those countries the rights granted under these terms do not apply.
• Providers may use technologies to determine or verify location.
• Legal compliance for use of the app is the user's own responsibility.

Not stated here

• The list of authorized countries is not given in this document.
• The document does not say what happens to the user's data when location is verified.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Procedure

Copyright and illegal-content complaints go to a takedown notice

A person who in good faith believes that content appearing on Roku's website or through its products and services infringes copyright or other proprietary rights, or contains prohibited or illegal content, is directed to send a content takedown notice. The link is the only stated route, and no response deadline or process is described.

Supporting quotations

If you believe in good faith that certain content appearing on our website or through our products and services infringes upon your copyright, other proprietary rights, or contains prohibited or illegal content, send us a content takedown notice.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Requires a good-faith belief that content infringes copyright or other proprietary rights, or is prohibited or illegal.
• Applies to content on Roku's website or through its products and services, not only the app.

Not stated here

• The takedown procedure itself and any handling time are set out in the linked notice page, which was not supplied with this document.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Company practice

Advertising appears in the app and Roku does not stand behind advertisers

Roku and/or its partners and content providers may display advertising and promotional messages in the app. Roku states it makes or implies no endorsement or recommendation of advertisers' products or services, and that any interaction with advertisers is entirely at the user's own risk, between the user and the advertiser, with Roku not responsible or liable for it.

Supporting quotations

Roku (and/or its partners and content providers) may display advertising and promotional messages on The Roku Channel app.

We do not make (or imply) any endorsement or recommendation about the advertisers’ products or services.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Company practice

Updates may be required and can change features

From time to time the app may require an update, including bug fixes, interface or access improvements, security changes, and other changes that may add, change or remove features and functionality. Updates are described as necessary to maintain operation, functionality and compatibility with other content or services.

Supporting quotations

From time to time, the app may require an update.

Updates include things like bug fixes, improvements to the user interface or how you access content, for security purposes, and other changes that may add, change, or remove certain features and functionality.

Updates are necessary to maintain the operation and functionality of the app and/or compatibility with other content or services.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Updates may add, change or remove features and functionality.
• Stated purposes include bug fixes, security, interface or access improvements, and compatibility.

Not stated here

• How often updates occur, and whether a user can decline one and keep using the app, is not stated.

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception

Rights not expressly granted stay with Roku and its licensors

The app is proprietary to Roku and/or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws of the United States and other countries. Every right that these terms do not expressly grant to the user is reserved to Roku or the applicable licensor, so the permission to install and use the app personally is the whole of what the user receives.

Supporting quotations

The Roku Channel app is proprietary to Roku (and/or its licensors) and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of the United States and other countries.

Any rights not expressly granted to you in these terms are reserved by Roku (or its applicable licensors).

Qualifications & exceptions

• Only rights expressly granted in these terms pass to the user; anything else stays reserved.
• Reservation runs to Roku or its applicable licensors.
• Protection is claimed under United States law and the laws of other countries.

Not stated here

• Which rights belong to licensors rather than Roku is not identified.

Cross-references

• narrows (model-proposed): The app is licensed for personal, non-commercial use on a compatible device — Because every right not expressly granted stays with Roku or its licensors, the personal non-commercial permission to install and use the app is the whole of what the user holds, not a floor below other implied rights.

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception

Proprietary notices must be left in place

Removing, altering or obscuring copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices is prohibited. The duty covers notices incorporated in or accompanying the channel and notices on any content provided through the app.

Supporting quotations

You may not remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying The Roku Channel or from any content provided via The Roku Channel app.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Covers removing, altering and obscuring.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

The app is provided as is, with warranties disclaimed

The app is provided "AS IS" and on an "AS AVAILABLE" basis, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law Roku disclaims the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, plus any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. No warranty is given that the service will meet the user's requirements, run uninterrupted, securely or error-free, or that content obtained through the app will be of any particular quality.

Supporting quotations

The Roku Channel app is provided “AS IS” and on an “AS AVAILABLE” basis and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, WE DISCLAIM 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.

We make no warranty that the services provided by the app 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 app.

• The disclaimer is stated to operate to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
• Covers merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement and trade-usage warranties.
• Also disclaims any warranty of uninterrupted, secure or error-free availability and of content quality.

Not stated here

• The separate Exclusions paragraph may restore protections in some jurisdictions; how far depends on the user's local law, which this document does not identify.

Cross-references

• has exception (model-proposed): Local consumer law can override these disclaimers — The Exclusions paragraph carves out jurisdictions that forbid excluding warranties, so the as-is disclaimer yields to local law for users in those places.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Liability is capped and indirect damages excluded

Where the law permits, Roku will not be responsible for indirect, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages. Total liability across all causes of action and theories, including implied warranties, is limited to the purchase price paid for the app or 10 USD, whichever is more, and in all cases liability excludes loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable.

Supporting quotations

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

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 THE APP OR $10 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 exclusions and the cap apply only where the law permits them.
• The cap is the greater of the purchase price paid for the app and 10 USD.
• Liability also excludes loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable.

Not stated here

• Whether the user paid anything for the app is not stated; if nothing was paid, the stated cap is 10 USD.

Cross-references

• has exception (model-proposed): Local consumer law can override these disclaimers — The same Exclusions paragraph may defeat the liability cap where local law forbids excluding or limiting consequential or incidental damages.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Local consumer law can override these disclaimers

Some jurisdictions do not allow excluding certain warranties, or excluding or limiting liability for consequential or incidental damages. For users in those places the disclaimers and limitations above may not apply, so the protection actually available depends on local law rather than on what this document says.

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 disclaimers and limitations above may not apply to you.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Applies where local law forbids the exclusion of warranties or the exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental damages.
• The effect is permissive: the disclaimers and limitations may not apply, rather than being voided outright.

Not stated here

• Which jurisdictions these are is not listed, and no local rule is identified.

Cross-references

• exception to (model-proposed): The app is provided as is, with warranties disclaimed — The Exclusions paragraph carves out jurisdictions that forbid excluding warranties, so the as-is disclaimer yields to local law for users in those places.
• exception to (model-proposed): Liability is capped and indirect damages excluded — The same Exclusions paragraph may defeat the liability cap where local law forbids excluding or limiting consequential or incidental damages.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Disputes go to arbitration, one claimant at a time

All claims arising out of or relating to a Roku account or any Roku product or service must be resolved exclusively through arbitration under separate Dispute Resolution Terms, unless the user opted out or another exception applies. Both sides also agree that claims may only be brought on an individual basis, not as a class, consolidated or representative action.

Supporting quotations

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

We both agree that all claims may only be conducted on an individual basis (and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action).

Qualifications & exceptions

• Scope reaches claims about the Roku account and any Roku product or service, not only this app.
• Opt-outs and other exceptions can remove a claim from arbitration.
• Class, consolidated and representative actions are excluded by agreement.
• The arbitration rules themselves live in the referenced Dispute Resolution Terms, not here.

Not stated here

• The Dispute Resolution Terms were not supplied with this document, so the arbitration procedure, the opt-out route and the stated exceptions are not evidenced here.

Cross-references

• referred to by (model-proposed): Delaware law governs and California courts handle court cases — The Delaware and California forum clauses only bite where a claim escapes arbitration; arbitration remains the primary route, so venue is a fallback rather than the user's first option.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Delaware law governs and California courts handle court cases

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict-of-laws principles that would point to another jurisdiction. If a claim proceeds in court instead of arbitration, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue is either the federal court for the Northern District of California or state court in Santa Clara County, California.

Supporting quotations

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflict of laws principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we both agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any legal proceeding is either federal court of the Northern District of California or state court in Santa Clara County, California.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Delaware law applies; conflict-of-laws rules that would point elsewhere are excluded.
• The court route applies only if a claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration.
• Venue is limited to the Northern District of California federal court or Santa Clara County state court.

App store notice terms also apply

Use of the app is stated to be subject to a separate app store notice. Whatever that notice says applies alongside these terms, and its text is not part of this document.

Supporting quotations

Use of The Roku Channel app is subject to the following app store notice.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The condition is stated generally; this document does not identify which app store notice applies to a given user.

Not stated here

• The app store notice referenced here was not supplied with the analyzed document, so its terms are not evidenced here.

Cross-references

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Only you and Roku are parties, and your rights do not transfer

The agreement is stated to be between the user and Roku, with no other person having any right to enforce it on the user's behalf. The user's rights are also not transferable, so they cannot be handed to someone else.

Supporting quotations

These terms are between you and Roku and no other person has any right to enforce these terms on your behalf.

Your rights are not transferable.

Qualifications & exceptions

• No third party may enforce these terms on the user's behalf.
• The user's rights are non-transferable.

Cross-references

• qualifies (model-proposed): The app may not be sold or transferred — The general statement that the user's rights are not transferable is what gives the prohibition on selling or transferring the app its effect; the two are consistent rather than competing.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Unenforceable terms are trimmed, the rest stay in force

Each paragraph is intended to operate separately. If a court or relevant authority finds any term invalid or unenforceable, that term is to be enforced to the maximum extent permissible while the remaining terms stay in full force and effect.

Supporting quotations

Each paragraph is intended to operate separately.

If any court or relevant authority determines that any terms are invalid or unenforceable, those terms will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining terms will remain in full force and effect.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Each paragraph is intended to operate separately.
• An invalid or unenforceable term is narrowed to the maximum permissible extent rather than dropped.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Changes take effect against you if you keep using the app

Roku may amend these terms from time to time. Material changes are to be posted in the app and may also be notified through the website or the user's Roku account, and using the app after the changes take effect counts as accepting them; a user who does not agree may be unable to continue using the app with their Roku account.

Supporting quotations

These terms may be amended by us from time to time.

If we make material changes to these terms, we will post the revised terms in the app and may also notify you through our website or your Roku account.

Your use after the changes go into effect will constitute your acceptance of those changes.

If you do not agree to the new terms, you may not be able to continue using the app with your Roku account.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Posting revised terms in the app is promised for material changes; notification through the website or the Roku account is only optional.
• Acceptance is formed by continued use after the changes go into effect.
• Disagreement means the user may not be able to keep using the app with their Roku account.

Not stated here

• No advance notice period before changes take effect is stated.
• What counts as a material change, as opposed to another amendment, is not defined.

Cross-references

• refers to (model-proposed): Accessing the app counts as accepting these terms — Amendments are accepted the same way the terms were first accepted: by conduct. Keeping the two together shows there is no separate consent click for either the original terms or their changes.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Roku delaying enforcement is not a waiver

A delay or decision not to enforce these terms does not waive Roku's rights and does not relieve the user from complying. Past tolerance therefore cannot be read as permission for the same conduct later.

Supporting quotations

If we delay or chose not to enforce these terms, that will not mean that we have waived our rights or that you do not have to comply with these terms.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Applies both to a delay and to a choice not to enforce.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Procedure

Questions about the terms go to Roku's contact page

Users with questions about these terms are directed to Roku's contact page. No other channel, response time or commitment to answer is stated.
