Twitch adds Authorized Users rules, delays licence end after deletion, changes dispute notice route
Twitch adds terms letting users authorize other accounts or third-party tools to act on their behalf, with the user fully responsible for their activity. The licence Twitch holds over deleted streams now ends after 'a commercially reasonable amount of time' rather than on deletion, and the CurseForge Submitted Projects clause is removed. Informal dispute notices now go to Twitch's registered agent (CSC) instead of email, and the EU online dispute resolution platform mention is removed.
Taken from you
- You now warrant that the activities of Authorized Users and third-party tools comply with the Terms, and Twitch disclaims liability for their acts or omissions
- Licence to your deleted streams now lasts a 'commercially reasonable' time instead of ending on deletion
- Dispute notices can no longer be sent by simple email; must go through registered agent CSC
- Content generated by automated tools or authorized users is deemed your User Content
