TWITCH WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE TWITCH SERVICE TO YOU ON AN ECONOMICALLY REASONABLE BASIS WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.

4. Users in the European Union.

   The following section only applies to you if you are a consumer resident in the European Union: Neither Twitch and its affiliates and partners in all cases, nor you (if you are an individual customer), will be responsible for: (i) losses that were not caused by any breach on their or your part; (ii) any indirect or consequential losses (including loss of profits, revenue, contracts, anticipated savings, data, goodwill or wasted expenditure); or (iii) any indirect or consequential losses that were not foreseeable by both you and us when the Terms of Service were agreed or updated as applicable. If you are a Subscribing Organization (as defined in section 1 of these Terms of Service) then you are not granted any rights under this section.

Applicable Law and Venue

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH TWITCH AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM TWITCH.

You and Twitch agree to arbitrate any dispute arising from these Terms of Service or your use of the Twitch Service, 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 Justin.tv, Inc. dba Twitch, Attn: Legal, 225 Bush Street, 9th 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.

Miscellaneous.

1. Notice.

   Twitch may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to Twitch's terms and conditions, by email, regular mail or postings on the Twitch Service. Notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours after email is sent, unless Twitch is notified that the email address is invalid. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to a postal address, if provided by you through the Twitch Service. In such case, notice will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing. Notice posted on the Twitch Service is deemed given 30 days following the initial posting.

2. Waiver.

   The failure of either you or us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms of Service will be effective only if in writing and signed by the relevant party.

3. Severability.

   If any provision of these Terms of Service or any guidelines is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then for both you and us that provision will be limited or eliminated from these Terms of Service to the minimum extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

4. Assignment.

   These Terms of Service and related Guidelines, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Twitch without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of this Terms of Service shall be void.

5. Survival.

   Upon termination of these Terms of Service, any provision which, by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive such termination or expiration, including, but not limited to, Sections 7, 8, 11(b)(ii), 11(c), 11(d), 12, 15-20.

6. Headings.

   The heading references herein are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of these Terms of Service, and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions of it.

7. Entire Agreement.

   The Terms of Service, together with the Terms of Sale, the Privacy Policy and the Guidance, is the entire agreement between you and Twitch relating to the subject matter herein and will not be modified except in writing, signed or otherwise agreed to by both parties, or by a change to these Terms of Service or Guidelines made by Twitch as set forth in Section 6 above.

8. Claims.

   If you are a consumer resident in the European Union and you disagree with the above, we encourage you contact us as soon as possible after you start using the Twitch Service at legal@twitch.tv since otherwise they will be binding on you after a reasonable time period (usually 30 days unless there are exceptional circumstances).
