Roku Mobile App Terms of Use

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Context

These terms govern official Roku apps developed or operated for Roku

The document calls itself the “Mobile App Terms” and says it governs your use of “official” Roku apps, which it defines as apps developed and/or operated by or on behalf of Roku Inc. and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates. The apps it currently names are the Official Roku Remote Control and Channel App and the Roku Smart Home App. The named apps are introduced with “Current Roku Apps include”, so the two named apps are presented as the present list; an app meeting the developed-or-operated definition, including one operated by another party on Roku's behalf, would fall under the same scope.

Supporting quotations

govern your use of “official” Roku apps, which are apps developed and/or operated by or on behalf of Roku Inc. and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates

the Official Roku Remote Control and Channel App; and

the Roku Smart Home App

Qualifications & exceptions

• The named apps are introduced as the current list (“Current Roku Apps include”), not stated as a closed set.
• Scope reaches apps developed and/or operated “by or on behalf of” Roku Inc. and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates.

Not stated here

• Whether any app beyond the two named ones is currently treated as a Roku App: the document names only these and publishes no fuller list.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Installing or using a Roku App is how you accept these terms

Installing and/or using a Roku App counts as accepting these Mobile App Terms. The document describes no signature, checkbox or other separate act of agreement, so either installing or using alone is enough to form acceptance. The counterpart is stated in the same breath: if you do not agree with these terms, you do not have the right to use the Roku Apps, so the way to decline is not to install or use them.

Supporting quotations

By installing and/or using a Roku App, you are accepting these terms.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Acceptance attaches to installing or using; either one alone is sufficient (“installing and/or using”).
• Disagreement removes the right to use the apps rather than carving out any exception to them.

Cross-references

• qualified by (model-proposed): Using the apps after a change takes effect means you accepted it — Acceptance is not only formed at first install or use; using the apps after an amendment takes effect also counts as accepting the revised terms.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Some features may carry extra terms supplied when they are offered

Certain features, functionality and content may be subject to additional terms, which the document says will be provided to you at the time those services are offered. The document does not name which features carry such extra terms, and none of those separate terms are part of this document's text.

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

• The extra terms are supplied at the time the service is offered, not in this document.
• Applies to “[c]ertain features, functionality, and content”; the document does not say which.

Not stated here

• Which features, functionality or content currently carry additional terms.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Company practice

Roku may modify, suspend or remove app features at any time

Roku reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend or remove certain features, functionality or content from the Roku Apps. The reservation carries no notice requirement, reason requirement or stated limit on scope, and the document does not promise that any particular feature will remain available.

Supporting quotations

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

Qualifications & exceptions

• The reserved right is exercisable “at any time” and covers modifying, suspending or removing.
• It concerns “[c]ertain features, functionality, or content” of the apps, not every change the apps undergo.

Account & Service Control · Restriction or exception

Certain App features require creating a Roku account

To reach certain features and functionality through the Roku Apps you will need to create a Roku account. The examples given are managing, configuring and accessing data captured by your Roku Smart Home devices, and viewing and controlling access to content available on The Roku Channel. The examples are introduced with “such as”, so the requirement is not confined to them; conversely the requirement is stated for “certain” features, not for opening or using the apps generally.

Supporting quotations

such as managing, configuring, and accessing data captured by your Roku Smart Home devices

accessing data captured by your Roku Smart Home devices; as well as view and control access to content available on The Roku Channel, you will need to create a Roku account.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Only “[c]ertain features and functionality” need an account; the document does not extend this to all App use.
• The two named examples are illustrative (“such as”).

Not stated here

• Which other App features require a Roku account.
• The linked signup page for a Roku account and the linked description of The Roku Channel are separate documents whose text this source does not contain, so this card says nothing about either page's contents or about signup terms.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Context

Other Roku device and feature terms also govern your use

In addition to these Mobile App Terms, use of Roku products and services is governed by terms of use published on Roku's website, applying to the specific devices or features you use. The document names four: Roku Account Terms for Roku accounts, Roku TV Terms of Use for Roku televisions, Website Terms of Use for use of the website, and the Smart Home Device End User Agreement for Roku Smart Home Devices. Because the naming sentence begins “[f]or example”, the four are illustrations of a wider set of website terms, not a complete list. Those agreements are linked but not reproduced, so this card describes only the pointer and not their contents.

Supporting quotations

your use of Roku products and services is governed by terms of use on our website that apply to the specific devices or features you decide to utilize

Roku accounts are subject to the Roku Account Terms; Roku televisions are governed by Roku TV Terms of Use; your use of our website is covered by Roku’s Website Terms of Use; and Roku Smart Home Devices are addressed in the Smart Home Device End User Agreement.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Each named agreement governs its own device or feature rather than the apps as a whole.
• The four named agreements are given as examples, so other website terms may also apply.

Not stated here

• The contents of the four linked agreements are not supplied in this source.

Data Access & Collection · Context

App privacy practices are described in Roku's separate Privacy Policy

The document refers you to Roku's Privacy Policy for information on how Roku collects, uses and discloses information from its users and their use of Roku products and services, including the Roku Apps. It states nothing about those practices itself; it routes the reader to the policy, whose text is not part of this source.

Supporting quotations

provides information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users and their use of Roku products and services, including the Roku Apps

Qualifications & exceptions

• The referenced policy covers users and their use of Roku products and services generally, including but not limited to the Roku Apps.

Not stated here

• The Privacy Policy's contents are not supplied here, so nothing about actual collection or disclosure follows from this card.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Context

You are asked to review these terms and other applicable terms before use

Before using Roku products and services, the document asks you to review it and any other terms on Roku's website that may also apply to you. It is phrased as a request rather than a stated condition of use, and the document does not say what follows from not reviewing them.

Supporting quotations

Please be sure to review this document and any other terms on our website that may also apply to you before using our products and services.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The request covers this document plus “any other terms on our website that may also apply to you”, leaving which ones apply unspecified.

Content & IP Rights · Permission or license

Apps may be installed and used only on a compatible device for personal non-commercial purposes

You may install and use the Roku Apps on a compatible mobile device, but only for personal, non-commercial purposes. Ensuring system compatibility between your device and the apps is your responsibility rather than something the document assigns to Roku. What makes a device “compatible” is not defined here.

You are responsible for ensuring system compatibility between your device and the Roku App(s).

Qualifications & exceptions

• Use is limited to “personal, non-commercial purposes”.
• Installation and use are permitted only “on a compatible mobile device”, and the user bears responsibility for system compatibility.

Not stated here

• The document does not define which mobile devices count as compatible.

Cross-references

• narrowed by (model-proposed): The apps belong to Roku or its licensors and ungranted rights are reserved — Only rights expressly granted pass to the user; everything else stays with Roku or its licensors, so the install-and-use permission is the whole of what is given.
• narrowed by (model-proposed): Your rights under these terms cannot be transferred — The permission to install and use the apps is personal beyond its non-commercial limit: the rights those terms give cannot be handed to anyone else.

Account & Service Control · Restriction or exception

Violating these terms lets Roku suspend or terminate account or app access

If you violate any of these terms, Roku has the right to suspend or terminate your right to access your Roku account and/or use of the Roku Apps. The two are listed with “and/or”, so Roku may act on account access, on app use, or on both. The document states a right rather than an automatic consequence, and describes no notice period, cure opportunity or appeal.

Supporting quotations

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

Qualifications & exceptions

• The right covers either account access or app use, or both.
• The trigger is violating “any of these terms”.

Not stated here

• No notice, cure or reinstatement process for suspension or termination is described in this document.

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception

You may not copy, modify, distribute or create derivative works of the apps

Copying, modifying, adapting, distributing, translating, or creating derivative works of the Roku Apps is prohibited. This item states no permission, purpose limit or exception of its own.

Supporting quotations

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception

Reverse engineering is barred except for interoperability the law cannot prohibit

Decompiling, disassembling, reverse engineering or otherwise trying to derive the source code of the Roku Apps is prohibited. That prohibition carries its own narrowing exception: it does not reach actions to the extent they cannot be prohibited under applicable law, and even then three conditions must hold together — the action must be essential to achieve inter-operability with other software, must be done only to achieve such inter-operability, and must not be disclosed or used to create any similar software. The exception is therefore conditional, not a general licence to inspect the code.

Supporting quotations

decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise try to derive the source code of the Roku Apps (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 “to the extent such actions cannot be prohibited under applicable law”.
• Even then it must be essential to achieve inter-operability with other software and done only to achieve such inter-operability.
• Even then the result must not be disclosed or used to create any similar software.

Not stated here

• Which jurisdictions' laws would permit such actions: the document refers only to “applicable law” without naming it.

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception

You may not sell or transfer the apps

Selling or transferring the Roku Apps is prohibited. The item ends with “or”, reading as one entry in the same list of prohibitions that continues with the security-mechanism item. Nothing in the document permits transferring an app, even to someone who acquires your device.

Supporting quotations

Security & Safeguards · Restriction or exception

You may not bypass security mechanisms or access controls

Disabling, bypassing, circumventing or interfering with any security mechanism or access control measures is prohibited. The wording reaches “any” such mechanism or measure, and no testing, research or interoperability exception is stated for this item — the interoperability carve-out appears only in the reverse-engineering item above.

Supporting quotations

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

Qualifications & exceptions

• Reaches “any security mechanism or access control measures”, with no stated carve-out of its own.

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception

Copying or redistributing third-party content is prohibited and may be DRM-enforced

Copying or redistribution of third-party content is strictly prohibited, and digital rights management or other technologies may be used to prevent or restrict copying or re-distributing content; you agree not to try to circumvent or avoid those technologies. The undertaking against circumvention binds the user personally and is separate from the prohibition on interfering with security mechanisms.

Supporting quotations

Copying or redistribution of third-party 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

• DRM or other technologies “may” be used — their presence is permitted, not promised.
• The user's undertaking is not to “try to circumvent or avoid” those technologies.

Not stated here

• Which content carries digital rights management: no specific services or titles are named.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Some content, devices and services are authorized only in specific regions

Certain content, devices or services may be authorized for use only in specific regions or jurisdictions, and you are prohibited from accessing, viewing or using Roku products and services in jurisdictions where you are not authorized to do so. The document does not list which content, devices or services are region-limited.

Supporting quotations

Certain content, devices, or services may only be authorized for use in specific regions or jurisdictions. You are prohibited from accessing, viewing, or using Roku products and services in jurisdictions where you are not authorized to do so.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Applies to “[c]ertain content, devices, or services” rather than everything Roku offers.
• The prohibition covers accessing, viewing or using Roku products and services in unauthorized jurisdictions.

Not stated here

• Which specific content, devices or services are region-limited.

Cross-references

• qualified by (model-proposed): Using Smart Home devices where they are not sold forfeits the rights these terms grant — The Smart Home example narrows the general regional-authorization rule by showing what follows from use in an unauthorized country: the rights granted under these terms do not apply.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Using Smart Home devices where they are not sold forfeits the rights these terms grant

The document illustrates its region rule with Roku Smart Home devices: they are available only in countries where they are authorized to be sold, and if you attempt to use them in a country where they are not authorized for sale, the rights granted under these terms will not apply. The stated consequence is the loss of the granted rights for that use rather than a penalty, and it is given as the document's own example of the broader region rule.

Supporting quotations

If you attempt to use Roku Smart Home devices in a country where they are not authorized for sale, the rights granted under these terms will not apply.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Presented as the document's own example (“[f]or example”) of the region restriction.
• The consequence is that the rights granted under these terms will not apply; no other penalty is described.

Not stated here

• Which countries authorize Roku Smart Home device sales is not stated in this source.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Company practice

Content providers may verify your location, limiting access outside your designated country

Some content providers may use technologies to determine or verify your location, and you may not be able to use Roku products to access content outside your designated country. The verification is attributed to content providers rather than Roku, the document does not describe which technologies or how the designated country is set.

Supporting quotations

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

Qualifications & exceptions

• The actor is content providers, using technologies to determine or verify location.
• The possible effect is inability to access content outside “your designated country”.

Not stated here

• Which technologies are used and how a designated country is determined.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

You are responsible for import and export law compliance for your Roku products

You are responsible for complying with any import and/or export laws that apply to your use of your Roku products. The responsibility is placed on the user without naming any jurisdiction's rules or saying whether Roku assists with compliance.

Supporting quotations

Content & IP Rights · Company practice

Roku, its partners and content providers may display ads through the apps

Roku and/or its partners and content providers may display advertising and promotional messages through the Roku Apps and other content services. Roku states it makes or implies no endorsement or recommendation of the advertisers' products or services. The display is permissive, and advertising may originate from partners or content providers rather than from Roku itself.

Supporting quotations

Qualifications & exceptions

• Advertising may come from Roku “and/or its partners and content providers”.
• No endorsement or recommendation of advertisers' products or services is made or implied.

Not stated here

• What data, if any, advertising delivery uses is not described here; the document points to its Privacy Policy for information practices.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Interactions with advertisers are between you and the advertiser

Any interaction you have with these advertisers is stated to be entirely at your own risk and to be between you and the advertiser, and Roku says it is not responsible or liable for your interaction with those advertisers or their products and services. The allocation covers both responsibility and liability, and it sits alongside the document's separate limitation of liability rather than replacing it.

Supporting quotations

Any interaction you have with these advertisers is entirely at your own risk and between you and the advertiser. Roku is not responsible or liable for your interaction with those advertisers or their products and services.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The exclusion covers both being “responsible or liable” for interactions with advertisers and their products and services.
• It applies to interactions through the apps and other content services where those messages appear.

Content & IP Rights · Company practice

Required app updates can add, change or remove features

From time to time the Roku Apps may require an update. Updates are described as including bug fixes, improvements to the user interface or how you access content, security purposes, and other changes that may add, change or remove certain features and functionality. The document presents updates as necessary to maintain the apps' operation and functionality and/or compatibility with other content or services. No notice period, opt-out or rollback is described, and which particular features a given update will change is not stated.

Supporting quotations

From time to time, the Roku Apps may require an update.

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

Qualifications & exceptions

• Stated purposes include bug fixes, interface or content-access improvements, security purposes, and other changes.
• Such changes “may add, change, or remove certain features and functionality”.

Not stated here

• No notice period, opt-out or downgrade path for updates is described.

Use & Processing · Permission or license

Voice control availability depends on your device and country of residence

If your Roku TV or streaming device supports voice commands, which depends on your country of residence, you can use your voice to control your Roku device — to search for content, switch inputs, launch channels and more — through either the Roku Remote Control and Channel App or a compatible voice-enabled Roku remote. The listed capabilities are examples followed by “and much more”, and nothing here states that voice features are available in every country.

Supporting quotations

If your Roku TV or streaming device supports voice commands (depending on your country of residence), you can use your voice to control your Roku device (to search for content, switch inputs, launch channels, and much more) via (1) the Roku Remote Control and Channel App or (2) a compatible voice-enabled Roku remote.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Requires that your Roku TV or streaming device supports voice commands.
• Support depends “on your country of residence”.
• The listed capabilities are illustrative (“and much more”).

Not stated here

• Which countries enable voice commands is not stated.

Cross-references

• qualified by (model-proposed): Using voice features authorizes recording and storing what you say — Using the voice control described for a TV or streaming device carries the authorization to record, process and store verbal inputs and other usage data for that feature.

Linking & Identification · Permission or license

Smart Home voice control works in the app or through a linked smart speaker

Where your Roku Smart Home device supports voice commands, you have two routes: voice-enabled features inside the Roku Smart Home App itself, or a compatible smart home speaker such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home, linked to your Roku devices through the Roku skill installed from the Alexa or Google Home apps. Both routes are conditioned on the device supporting voice commands, and the speaker route additionally requires installing the Roku skill in the assistant's own app.

Supporting quotations

If your Roku Smart Home device supports voice commands, you can use (1) voice-enabled features available when using the Roku Smart Home App; or (2) a compatible smart home speaker (e.g., Amazon Alexa or Google Home) linked to your Roku devices via the Roku skill that can be installed from the Alexa or Google Home apps, respectively.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Both routes require that your Roku Smart Home device supports voice commands.
• The speaker route depends on linking through the Roku skill installed from the Alexa or Google Home apps.

Cross-references

• qualified by (model-proposed): Auto-linking reaches every current and future compatible Roku device — Auto-linking sets the scope of the linked-speaker route described in the voice-options card: every current and future compatible device joins the assistant.
• qualified by (model-proposed): De-linking removes every Roku device from the assistant at once — De-linking is the way the linked-speaker route ends, and the document makes it all-or-nothing rather than per device.

Linking & Identification · Permission or license

Linking lets an assistant control certain Roku devices by voice

Linking Roku devices to Amazon Alexa or Google Home lets you control certain Roku devices by voice. The document's examples are accessing and viewing video content from a Roku camera on a Roku TV, turning lights on and off, powering sound devices, and adjusting in-home climate or security settings, followed by "and more" — so the list is illustrative rather than complete. The capability is stated for "certain Roku devices", not for every device you own.

Supporting quotations

By linking Roku devices to Amazon Alexa or Google Home, you will be able to control certain Roku devices with Alexa or Google Home voice commands (e.g., access and view video content from a Roku camera on a Roku TV, turn lights on/off, power sound devices, adjust in-home climate or security settings, and more).

Qualifications & exceptions

• Applies to "certain Roku devices", not necessarily all of them.
• The listed actions are examples followed by "and more".

Not stated here

• Which devices are controllable through a linked assistant is not enumerated.

Linking & Identification · Restriction or exception

Auto-linking reaches every current and future compatible Roku device

If you auto-link your devices to a virtual assistant such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa, the document states that ALL current and future Roku devices that are compatible will be linked to that assistant. The effect is forward-looking: a compatible device you add later is linked without a fresh decision, and the scope is set by whether a device is compatible rather than by which devices you selected.

Supporting quotations

Note that when you auto-link your devices to a virtual assistant such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa, ALL current and future Roku devices that are compatible will be linked to the virtual assistant.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The link covers "ALL current and future Roku devices that are compatible", not only devices owned at the time of linking.
• The stated trigger is auto-linking; the document does not say how an auto-link differs from any other link.
• "Compatible" limits the devices reached, and this source does not define compatibility.

Not stated here

• What distinguishes auto-linking from other linking flows is not described here.

Cross-references

• qualifies (model-proposed): Smart Home voice control works in the app or through a linked smart speaker — Auto-linking sets the scope of the linked-speaker route described in the voice-options card: every current and future compatible device joins the assistant.

Linking & Identification · Restriction or exception

De-linking removes every Roku device from the assistant at once

De-linking is all-or-nothing: if you de-link your Roku devices, all Roku devices will be de-linked. The document does not describe a way to de-link a single device while leaving others linked.

Supporting quotations

If you de-link your Roku devices, all Roku devices will be de-linked.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The stated result is that "all Roku devices will be de-linked", with no partial option described.

Not stated here

• No per-device de-linking path is described in this document.

Cross-references

• qualifies (model-proposed): Smart Home voice control works in the app or through a linked smart speaker — De-linking is the way the linked-speaker route ends, and the document makes it all-or-nothing rather than per device.

Data Access & Collection · Permission or license

Using voice features authorizes recording and storing what you say

Using the voice features authorizes Roku and the service providers that help provide them to record, process and store your verbal inputs — described as a recording and/or readout of what was said — together with other usage data about how you use the feature, in order to provide voice command services to you. The authorization covers three operations (record, process, store) and reaches Roku's helpers as well as Roku, and its stated purpose is delivering the voice command service.

Supporting quotations

you are authorizing us (and our service providers who help provide these services) to record, process, and store your verbal inputs (a recording and/or readout of what was said) as well as other usage data about how you use this feature in order to provide voice command services to you

Qualifications & exceptions

• The authorization extends to Roku's service providers who help provide the voice services, not only to Roku.
• "Verbal inputs" is glossed in the text as "a recording and/or readout of what was said".
• It also covers "other usage data about how you use this feature".
• The stated purpose is providing voice command services to you.

Not stated here

• No retention period for recordings or readouts is stated in this document.
• Which service providers are involved is not named here.

Cross-references

• qualifies (model-proposed): Voice control availability depends on your device and country of residence — Using the voice control described for a TV or streaming device carries the authorization to record, process and store verbal inputs and other usage data for that feature.

Sharing & Disclosure · Company practice

Linked third-party assistants also process your Roku device data

Once your Roku devices are linked to third-party products and services such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home, those entities also process information about you and how you use their services, including how you use the Roku devices linked to them. The categories listed as collectable are the types of devices you use; how you use those devices with their services; logs of the activities you perform and the content or information you accessed; your verbal input when using voice commands to control linked devices and features; video and images; and other details captured by Roku Smart Home devices that you direct to be transferred, accessed or otherwise processed by Google Home or Amazon Alexa. The collection is attributed to those third parties and is framed around data you direct them to handle, not around everything your devices capture.

Supporting quotations

When your Roku devices are linked to third party products and services like Amazon Alexa or Google Home, these entities will also process information about you and how you use their services, including how you may use your Roku devices linked to them.

They may also collect data about the types of devices you are using; how you are using the devices in connection with their services, logs of the activities you perform and the content or information you accessed; your verbal input when using voice commands to control linked devices and features; video, images; or other details that may be captured by Roku Smart Home devices if you direct it to transferred, accessed, or otherwise processed by Google Home or Amazon Alexa.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Applies when your devices are linked to third-party products and services; Amazon Alexa and Google Home are given as examples.
• The entities process information about you and your use of their own services too, not only Roku-related data.
• Video, images and other captured details are listed together with the qualifier "if you direct it to transferred, accessed, or otherwise processed by Google Home or Amazon Alexa".

Not stated here

• What those third parties do with the data under their own policies is outside this document; it points to support.roku.com and its Privacy Policy rather than stating it.
• The source sentence covering captured details reads "if you direct it to transferred" rather than "to be transferred"; the quoted wording is reproduced exactly and its intended grammatical object is not resolved further by the document.

Cross-references

• referred to by (model-proposed): Asking Alexa to show Roku video authorizes sending it to Amazon — The Alexa Show example is the document's own illustration of the general rule that linked third parties process data you direct them to handle.

Sharing & Disclosure · Permission or license

Asking Alexa to show Roku video authorizes sending it to Amazon

The document gives one concrete example of the third-party flow: asking Alexa to display Roku video content on an Amazon Alexa Show authorizes Roku to transfer your video content to Amazon so it can be displayed on an Amazon device. The authorization is request-specific and is presented as an illustration of the general linking flow rather than the only case in which content moves to a third party.

Supporting quotations

For example, when you ask Alexa to display Roku video content on an Amazon Alexa Show (i.e., an Alexa device with display capabilities), you are authorizing Roku to transfer your video content to Amazon for it to be displayed on an Amazon device.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The example is triggered by your request to display the content on an Amazon device.
• It is introduced as the document's example of what linking enables.

Not stated here

• How long Amazon retains transferred video, and under which policy, is not stated here.

Cross-references

• refers to (model-proposed): Linked third-party assistants also process your Roku device data — The Alexa Show example is the document's own illustration of the general rule that linked third parties process data you direct them to handle.

Content & IP Rights · Company practice

The apps belong to Roku or its licensors and ungranted rights are reserved

The Roku Apps are proprietary to Roku and/or its licensors and are 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, so the permissions earlier in the document are the measure of what you receive.

Supporting quotations

The Roku Apps are 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

• Ownership is stated for Roku “(and/or its licensors)”, and reservation for “Roku (or its applicable licensors)”.
• Protection is claimed under copyright, trademark and other laws of the United States and other countries.

Cross-references

• narrows (model-proposed): Apps may be installed and used only on a compatible device for personal non-commercial purposes — Only rights expressly granted pass to the user; everything else stays with Roku or its licensors, so the install-and-use permission is the whole of what is given.

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception

Proprietary notices in the apps or their content may not be removed

You may not remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the Roku app, or in any content provided through the Roku Apps. The prohibition covers notices in the app itself and notices accompanying content delivered through it.

Supporting quotations

Qualifications & exceptions

• The prohibition covers removing, altering or obscuring notices.
• It reaches notices in or accompanying the app and in content provided via the apps.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

The apps come AS IS with implied warranties disclaimed

The Roku Apps are provided “AS IS” and on an “AS AVAILABLE” basis, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law Roku disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, plus any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. The disclaimer is itself bounded by what applicable law permits, so the clause states what Roku disclaims rather than what a particular jurisdiction will allow.

Supporting quotations

The Roku Apps are 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.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The apps are provided “AS IS” and on an “AS AVAILABLE” basis.
• The disclaimer operates “to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law”.
• The named disclaimed warranties are merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and warranties from course of dealing or usage of trade.

Not stated here

• How much of this disclaimer a given jurisdiction will enforce is not stated; the document handles that separately for jurisdictions that restrict such exclusions.

Cross-references

No promise that app content or services will work uninterrupted or be of any quality

Roku makes no warranty that content or services provided by or through the Roku Apps 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 by or through the apps. The two statements cover fitness for your own requirements and uptime/quality respectively, and neither is qualified by a service level or remedy.

Supporting quotations

We make no warranty that the content or services provided by or through the Roku Apps 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 by or through the Roku Apps.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The first statement joins meeting your requirements with uninterrupted, secure or error-free availability.
• The second concerns “the quality of any information or content” provided by or through the apps.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Indirect and punitive damages are excluded where the law allows

Where the law permits, Roku will not be responsible for indirect, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages. The exclusion is conditioned on being permitted by law and does not touch direct loss, which is handled by the separate liability cap.

Supporting quotations

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

Qualifications & exceptions

• Operates only “[w]hen permitted by law”.
• Covers indirect, special, consequential, exemplary and punitive damages.

Charges & Financial Obligations · Restriction or exception

Total liability is capped at what you paid for the app or ten dollars

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 the app or $10 USD, whichever is more. A further limit applies in all cases: no liability for loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable. The cap therefore sets a floor of ten dollars rather than a ceiling of the purchase price, and it aggregates every claim rather than applying per incident.

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 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

• Operates “[t]o the extent permitted by law”.
• The limit is the purchase price paid for the app or $10 USD, “whichever is more”.
• It aggregates “[a]ll causes of action and under all theories of liability, including for any implied warranties”.
• Separately, in all cases there is no liability “for any loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable”.

Not stated here

• Whether any Roku App carries a purchase price above ten dollars is not stated in this document.

Cross-references

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Local law may override these disclaimers and limits

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so for those jurisdictions the disclaimers and limitations above may not apply to you. The wording is permissive (“may not apply”) and identifies no particular jurisdiction, so it flags possible local protection rather than promising it.

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

• Triggered where a jurisdiction bars excluding certain warranties, or excluding or limiting liability for consequential or incidental damages.
• The effect stated is that the above disclaimers and limitations “may not apply to you”, not that they are void.

Not stated here

• Which jurisdictions qualify is not named in this document.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Procedure

Disputes go to arbitration under separate Dispute Resolution Terms

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 the linked Dispute Resolution Terms, unless you opted out or another exception applies. The scope reaches claims about the account or any Roku product or service, not only claims about these Mobile App Terms.

• Subject to stated exceptions: “unless you opted out or another exception applies”.

Not stated here

• How to opt out, and by when, is stated in those terms rather than here.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Claims may be brought only individually, not as a class

Roku and you agree that all claims may only be conducted on an individual basis, and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. The restriction is mutual in form and sits alongside the arbitration requirement, applying to the claims that provision covers.

Supporting quotations

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

• The bar covers class, consolidated and representative actions.
• Stated as a mutual agreement (“[w]e both agree”).

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Delaware law governs these terms

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflict of laws principles that might point to another jurisdiction's law. The clause names the governing law only; it does not by itself say where a dispute is heard.

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.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Conflict of laws principles that could apply another jurisdiction's law are excluded.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Procedure

Court cases must be in Northern California

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties agree the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any legal proceeding is either the federal court for the Northern District of California or the state court in Santa Clara County, California. This applies only in the event a claim escapes arbitration, which the document otherwise requires, and it names both a federal and a state forum rather than giving a choice between courts generally.

Supporting quotations

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

• Applies only “[i]f, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration”.
• The named forums are federal court for the Northern District of California or state court in Santa Clara County, California.

Cross-references

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Context

App store terms also apply to your use of the apps

Use of the Roku Apps is subject to a separate app store notice that the document links. Which app store's notice applies is not said here, and the notice's text is not part of this document, so this card records only that another set of terms is layered onto app use.

Supporting quotations

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

Qualifications & exceptions

• The additional notice covers use of the Roku Apps, not the other Roku agreements named earlier in the document.

Not stated here

• The linked app store notice is a separate document whose text this source does not contain, so nothing about its contents, or about which app store it concerns, follows from this card.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Only you and Roku can enforce these terms

These terms are between you and Roku, and no other person has any right to enforce them on your behalf. The clause is about who may enforce, not about who benefits from the permissions granted to you, and it does not address claims brought against Roku.

Supporting quotations

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

Qualifications & exceptions

• The bar is on another person enforcing the terms on your behalf.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Your rights under these terms cannot be transferred

Your rights under these terms are not transferable. The statement sits next to the prohibition on selling or transferring the apps themselves, so both the app copy and the contractual permissions are kept with the original user.

Supporting quotations

Your rights are not transferable.

Not stated here

• No exception, such as transfer on death or to a new device owner, is described in this document.

Cross-references

• narrows (model-proposed): Apps may be installed and used only on a compatible device for personal non-commercial purposes — The permission to install and use the apps is personal beyond its non-commercial limit: the rights those terms give cannot be handed to anyone else.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Each paragraph stands separately and invalid terms are trimmed rather than voided

Each paragraph is intended to operate separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any terms are invalid or unenforceable, those terms will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining terms stay in full force and effect. So an unenforceable provision is narrowed by as much as needed rather than striking down the rest of the document.

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.
• Invalid or unenforceable terms are enforced “to the maximum extent permissible” while the rest remain in full force and effect.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Roku delaying enforcement does not waive its rights

If Roku delays or chooses not to enforce these terms, that does not mean it has waived its rights or that you need not comply with the terms. The clause removes any argument that past inaction excuses your own compliance.

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

• Covers both a delay and a decision not to enforce (“if we delay or chose not to enforce”, reproducing the document's own wording).

Roku may amend these terms and post material changes in the affected app

Roku may amend these terms from time to time. For material changes, it will post the revised terms in the affected Roku App or Apps and may also notify you through its website or your Roku account. The posting route is promised for material changes only, while the additional notice through the website or account is discretionary (“may also”), and no advance notice period is stated.

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 affected Roku App(s) and may also notify you through our website or your Roku account.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Amendment is unilateral: “[t]hese terms may be amended by us from time to time”.
• For material changes, revised terms are posted in the affected app or apps.
• Notification through the website or your Roku account is discretionary.
• No advance notice period before changes take effect is stated.

Not stated here

• What counts as a material change, and how long before a change takes effect, is not defined here.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Using the apps after a change takes effect means you accepted it

Your use of the apps after changes go into effect constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to the new terms, the document says you may not be able to continue using the Roku Apps with your Roku account or Roku products and services — phrased as a possibility rather than a promise of termination.

Supporting quotations

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 Roku Apps with your Roku account or Roku products and services.

Qualifications & exceptions

• Acceptance runs from your use after the changes take effect, so it depends on when the change becomes effective, which this document does not date.
• The stated consequence of disagreement is that you “may not be able to continue using” the apps with your account or products.

Cross-references

• qualifies (model-proposed): Installing or using a Roku App is how you accept these terms — Acceptance is not only formed at first install or use; using the apps after an amendment takes effect also counts as accepting the revised terms.
