Plain-English summary

Roku's terms include mandatory binding arbitration and a class action waiver, which means you give up your right to sue them in court, including as part of a class. The company limits its liability significantly, stating it is not responsible for indirect or punitive damages and capping total liability at your device's purchase price or $50 USD. Roku also disclaims several common warranties, and your subscriptions will automatically renew until you cancel, with no refunds for partial cancellations or for on-demand/pay-per-view content. Your device's software will automatically update, and these updates cannot be disabled.
