The headings used in this agreement are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms.
We are not responsible if information made available on this site is not accurate, complete, or current. The material on this site is provided for general information only and should not be relied upon or used as the sole basis for making decisions without consulting primary, more accurate, more complete or timelier sources of information. Any reliance on the material on this site is at your own risk.
This site may contain certain historical information. Historical information, necessarily, is not current and is provided for your reference only.

You agree that it is your responsibility to monitor changes to our site.
Prices and/or fees for our Service are subject to change without notice.

When installed, the FrankerFaceZ (hereafter referred to as "FFZ") browser extension loads external data into web pages on the domain http://twitch.tv/ (hereafter referred to as "Twitch"). This data includes, but may not be limited to, external JavaScript, CSS, and HTML elements. Your user experience on Twitch will be modified as determined by the FFZ extension, including the appearance, functionality, and user interaction with pages on Twitch. Twitch is not responsible for any changes to the user experience provided by FFZ. Furthermore, FFZ extension functionality may not always work as expected based on regular updates to Twitch, updates to Web browsers, and updates to the FFZ extension. If you are not satisfied with your user experience, you may disable or uninstall the FFZ extension at any time in accordance with your Web browser. The FFZ extension only affects your user experience in any Web browser that has the FFZ extension installed. The FFZ extension will have no lasting effects on Twitch, and disabling or uninstalling the extension will return Twitch to its original state as provided by the domain.
No components of the FFZ extension may be redistributed, hosted, uploaded, or shared in their original or modified forms. The FFZ extension may only be downloaded from the sources provided on http://frankerfacez.com.
The FFZ website allows people to upload and share small images called "emoticons" (hereafter referred to as "emotes"), which are stored on FFZ servers. By uploading emotes using the FFZ website, users must confirm that they are not violating any copyright laws applicable to uploading or sharing the content. This may include, but is not limited to, receiving explicit permission to use the image, being the owner of the image, or confirming that the content of the image is in compliance with the United States FAIR USE Act or other applicable copyright laws. The user is fully responsible for the content that he/she chooses to upload and share on the FFZ website.
Upon uploading emotes to the FFZ website, the user hereby grants permission for FFZ to publish, share, and distribute the images by any means applicable to FFZ services. However, the user retains any other applicable copyrght protection governing use of the emotes. Because of this, users are forbidden from downloading, hosting, modifying, or redistributing content hosted on FFZ servers without explicit permission from both FFZ and the original owner(s) of the content.
After submitting an emote to FFZ, a user is considered the "owner" of that emote. The owner is capable of controlling additional aspects of the emote, such as publicizing, privatizing, deleting, or submitting replacement names or images for the emote. Listing an emote as "private" means that other users cannot add the emote to their channel, except when granted permission by the owner. Privatizing an emote does not retroactively remove the emote from any channels that have chosen to use the emote. Users may request their emotes to be removed from certain channels, but FFZ reserves the right to make the decision in this regard. In other words, privatizing an emote does not grant the user any additional rights in regards to the use or control of the emote.
Any emotes submitted to FFZ are expected to comply with the guidelines as listed on the emote submission page. The guidelines listed are the typical criteria by which emotes are approved or rejected for use with the FFZ extension and services. However, FFZ reserves the right to approve, reject, modify, publicize, privatize, transfer ownership, rename, or delete any emote submitted at any time and for any reason. Furthermore, the rules, guidelines, and methods for submitting emotes are subject to be revised at any time without notice. FFZ reserves the right to retroactively make any changes to previously-submitted emotes based on these revisions. FFZ also reserves the right to NOT make changes to previously-submitted emotes, even if the emotes in question conflict with the revised rules and guidelines.
Users can donate to FFZ using the Donate page provided on the FFZ website. The Donate page lists benefits provided through the FFZ service as an appreciation for donating. While FFZ does its best to provide the benefits as described, we are not legally obligated to provide any benefits in exchange for donating. Furthermore, we are not obligated to treat FFZ donors any differently in usage of the service, including usage of website features and usage of FFZ extension features. Donation benefits may change at any time. FFZ is not required to retroactively apply any of these benefits to users who have previously donated.
FFZ provides an API that enables users to access FFZ data and services programmatically. FFZ is not obligated to uphold the functionality of the API. Furthermore, the API may be changed at any time without notice. FFZ is not responsible for the functionality of any application employing the FFZ API.
Any user or application using the FFZ API must only use it for its intended purposes including retrieving user info, retrieving emote info, and providing FFZ emotes to external applications related to Twitch services. Any external application not related to Twitch may not use the FFZ API without explicit permission from FFZ. Furthermore, FFZ reserves the right to refuse API services to any user or application for any reason.
FFZ reserves the right to refuse or terminate services to users at any time, for any reason. This includes disabling FFZ website or extension features for any individual user, IP address, or Twitch account. Violation of the terms detailed in this document will result in termination as seen fit by FFZ.
The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
These Terms of Service and any policies or operating rules posted by us on this site or in respect to The Service constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service).
Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the drafting party.

Content on the Websites is provided to you AS IS for your information and personal use only and may not be used, copied, reproduced, distributed, transmitted, broadcast, displayed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any other purposes whatsoever without the prior written consent of the respective owners. FrankerFaceZ reserves all rights not expressly granted in and to the Websites and the Intellectual Property. You agree to not engage in the use, copying, or distribution of any of the Intellectual Property other than expressly permitted herein. If you download or print a copy of the Intellectual Property for personal use, you must retain all copyright and other proprietary notices contained therein. You agree not to circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with security related features of the Websites or features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any Intellectual Property or enforce limitations on use of the Websites or the Intellectual Property therein.
Some of the Services may allow you to submit or transmit audio, video, text, or other materials (collectively, "User Submissions") to or through the Services. When you provide User Submissions, you grant to FrankerFaceZ, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and partners a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully sub-licenseable license to use, distribute, edit, display, archive, publish, sublicense, perform, reproduce, make available, transmit, broadcast, sell, translate, and create derivative works of those User Submissions, and your name, voice, likeness and other identifying information where part of a User Submission, in any form, media, software, or technology of any kind now known or developed in the future, including, without limitation, for developing, manufacturing, and marketing products. You hereby waive any moral rights you may have in your User Submissions.
In addition, you agree that any User Submissions you submit shall not contain any material that is, in the sole and absolute discretion of FrankerFaceZ, inappropriate, obscene, vulgar, unlawful, or otherwise objectionable (hereinafter, "Prohibited Content"). Posting of any Prohibited Content, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to FrankerFaceZ, may result in account suspension or termination.
We respect your ownership of User Submissions. If you owned a User Submission before providing it to us, you will continue owning it after providing it to us, subject to any rights granted in the Terms of Use and any access granted to others. If you delete a User Submission from the Services, our general license to that User Submission will end after a reasonable period of time required for the deletion to take full effect. However, the User Submission may still exist in our backup copies, which are not publicly available. If your User Submission is shared with third parties, those third parties may have retained copies of your User Submissions. In addition, if we made use of your User Submission before you deleted it, we will continue to have the right to make, duplicate, redistribute, and sublicense those pre-existing uses, even after you delete the User Submission. Terminating your account on a Service will not automatically delete your User Submissions.
We may refuse or remove a User Submission without notice to you. However, we have no obligation to monitor User Submissions, and you agree that neither we nor our parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, or agents will be liable for User Submissions or any loss or damage resulting from User Submissions.
Except as provided in the Privacy Policy, we do not guarantee that User Submissions will be private, even if the User Submission is in a password-protected area. Accordingly, you should not provide User Submissions that you want protected from others.
You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant to FrankerFaceZ the license above and that none of your User Submissions are defamatory, violate any rights of third parties (including intellectual property rights or rights of publicity or privacy), or violate applicable law.
