(i) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Twitch agree that if you are a Subscribing Organization or a consumer resident of a jurisdiction other than those in (ii) below, the following governing law and arbitration provision applies:
請仔細閱讀以下內容,因為以下內容要求您與 Twitch 以仲裁方式解決爭議,並限制了您向 Twitch 主張救濟的方式。
You and Twitch agree to arbitrate any dispute arising from these Terms of Service or your use of the Twitch Services, except that you and Twitch are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and Twitch agree that you will notify each other in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises. Notice to Twitch shall be sent to: Twitch Interactive, Inc., Attn: Legal, 350 Bush Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94104. You and Twitch further agree: to attempt informal resolution prior to any demand for arbitration; that any arbitration will occur in Santa Clara County, California; that arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS; and that the state or federal courts in Santa Clara County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award and over any suit between the parties not subject to arbitration. Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Any dispute between the parties will be governed by this Agreement and the laws of the State of California and applicable United States law, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and Twitch will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding.
(ii) If you are a resident in any jurisdiction in which the provision in the section above is found to be unenforceable, then any disputes, claims, or causes of action arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Service will be governed by and construed under the laws of your jurisdiction of residence, and shall be resolved by competent civil courts within your jurisdiction of residence.
e. Claims
YOU AND TWITCH AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TWITCH SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

18. Specific Terms for Twitch Sings
Twitch Sings (“Twitch Sings”), which is part of the Twitch Services, is a free-to-play singing game and streamer tool. It allows anyone to sing rights-cleared music privately or live on their personal Twitch channel, and to create and share VODs with users of Twitch and other users of Twitch Sings. All game activity can be streamed to Twitch without any additional software.
Sing a song start to finish, perform a duet, or go live within a concert setting to hundreds of cheering fans. Bonus: if you use the Twitch Sings feature that allows you to live stream your performance to Twitch, emotes from chat will rise from the audience, while follows, cheers and subscription notices are highlighted with alerts and in-concert effects.
Before you stage dive on top of screaming fans, several guidelines:
- Sing the song lyrics as displayed in the app or, when song lyrics are not displayed, to the best of your knowledge;
- Avoid altering the fundamental character of any song included in Twitch Sings; and
- Behave (in rock parlance: don’t trash the hotel room). Conduct yourself in accordance with the Community Guidelines and these Terms of Service.
To make available musical works from a variety of artists within Twitch Sings (from rock to pop), Twitch negotiated licenses with many different rights holders and continues to do so in order to add new musical tracks. The licenses granted to Twitch allow Twitch to use the works, and offer them to you for use, solely in connection with Twitch Sings and the Twitch Services. Twitch Sings content has not been cleared for use outside the Twitch Services. What this means is that, in your new rock-n-roll lifestyle, do not:
- make unauthorized use of the copyrighted elements of a Twitch Sings song (including the use of the story of a song in another creative work);
- assert copyright ownership of the songs (or any arrangements of the songs) provided in Twitch Sings; or
- use your performance from Twitch Sings outside the Twitch Services, with the exception that you can use the YouTube exporter tool offered on Twitch. However, you may not exercise any rights to claim or monetize any exported content, or block, dispute, interfere with, or suppress any attempts by a music rights holder (such as a music publisher who controls the song you recorded) to claim or monetize the exported content.
Doing any of the above may subject you to a notice of alleged infringement from rights holders and their agents.
Last, we want to alert you to the fact that music rights tend to evolve over time. Thus, we reserve the right to modify or remove certain songs or other content from Twitch Sings at any time (for example, as necessary to comply with our music licenses or with applicable laws). This may mean that Twitch will be required to take down previously recorded performances. Twitch takes no responsibility and assumes no liability in connection with your use of Twitch Sings.
19. Specific Terms for Soundtrack by Twitch
Soundtrack by Twitch (“Soundtrack”), which is part of the Twitch Services, is a streamer tool designed to give creators the ability to play licensed music in the background of their live streams and upload on-demand videos of those live streams that do not include such music. By downloading, installing, and/or otherwise using Soundtrack, you agree that your download, installation, and/or use of Soundtrack will be governed by these Terms of Service. Twitch’s Community Guidelines and Music Guidelines apply as well, and we recommend that you review both resources prior to using Soundtrack.
Soundtrack was borne out of Twitch’s desire to offer creators a wide variety of licensed music for live streaming. To make this possible, Twitch secured licenses with many different rights holders and continues to do so in order to add new tracks to Soundtrack’s stations and playlists. Twitch also designed Soundtrack to give creators the ability to generate on-demand videos of their live streams that do not include this music.
The licenses Twitch secured allow Twitch to make these materials available to you for your use in live streams on your Twitch channel. Music and other materials made available through Soundtrack have not been licensed for your use in pre-recorded content, in content that can be streamed on-demand (such as VODs and Clips), or outside the Twitch Services. What this means is that you may not:
- Create on-demand content containing materials from Soundtrack – we have designed Soundtrack with this restriction in mind, and proper setup will allow you to create and use music-free on-demand videos of live streams that include Soundtrack music; or
- Live stream content that includes music or other materials from Soundtrack outside the Twitch Services.
Doing any of the above may subject you to a notice of alleged infringement from rights holders and their agents.
Last, we want to alert you to the fact that music rights tend to evolve over time. Thus, we reserve the right to modify or remove certain songs or other content from Soundtrack at any time (for example, as necessary to comply with our music licenses or with applicable laws). Twitch takes no responsibility and assumes no liability in connection with your use of Soundtrack.
