Streamer Agreement

What you accept once, before your first stream, and what we owe you back.

Streamer Agreement

Version 1.0.
Last updated: 2 October 2026. Effective on the day the app is published.
For people who go live and get paid. You accept this once, before your first stream. It sits on top of the Terms of Service, which you have already accepted, and it wins wherever the two disagree about streaming.

Read sections 4, 5 and 6. They say that you are not our employee, that the risk of standing on a street is yours, and that you are the one recording. They are the three things this whole document is for.

1. Who this is for

You must be 18 or over to go live. The app reads that from your Apple or Google account before the option appears at all. If you are under 18 the option is not there, and if we find out an account that went live was under 18 we close it and refund every buyer in that queue.

You must be in the United States and legally allowed to work as an independent contractor here.

You may only stream from a city we have opened. The list is in the app and it changes. Streaming from anywhere else breaks this agreement, and the reason is not bureaucracy: recording law is a state matter and it is genuinely different from one state to the next. We open a city when we have looked at its law, and not before.

2. What you are agreeing to do

You stream from a public place and you say the lines in your queue out loud where there are people. You are not picking anybody out and you are not walking up to anyone: you stand where people are and you say the line. The app counts a delivery when it hears the line and somebody who has not been counted yet is near enough to hear it. That is the whole job.

You choose everything about how. Whether to stream at all, when, for how long, which street, which city on the open list, which lines to take and which to decline, and when to stop. We never assign you anything and you are never required to be anywhere.

3. Getting paid

$1.00 for every delivery. Flat, always, whatever the buyer paid.

Getting it out:

When you are not paid:

Set-off. If you cost us money by breaking this agreement, we may take it out of earnings that have not yet been paid to you, and out of your wallet, before paying the rest. We will tell you the amount and why.

Nothing here is a promise of work, of income, or of an amount. There is no minimum, no guarantee, and no obligation on us to send you anything to say.

4. You are an independent contractor

This is not employment. You are an independent contractor. Saying so does not by itself make it true, so here is what is actually the case, and all of it has to stay true:

So, and this follows from all of it:

The rules in this agreement are about safety and about what we are willing to publish. They are the terms of what we will carry, the same way a shop decides what it will stock. They are not instructions about how to do the work.

5. The street is yours, and so is the risk

This is the part to read twice.

You are choosing to go and stand in a public place, alone, and say things out loud near people, on camera. We are not there. We cannot see what you see. We cannot help you in the moment and we will not pretend we can.

You accept, knowingly and voluntarily, the risks of doing that. Those risks are real and they include, without being limited to:

You are responsible for your own safety and for your own decisions about where to stand. If a place feels wrong, do not stream there. No line and no dollar is worth it, and there is no penalty of any kind for ending a stream and walking away.

We do not defend you

Read this sentence slowly, because people assume the opposite.

If you are arrested, cited, fined, sued, banned from a place, or told to leave, that is yours. We do not provide a lawyer. We do not pay your legal costs and we do not advance them. We do not pay your fines. We do not carry insurance for you, you are not covered by workers' compensation, and you should think seriously about your own cover.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release us from any claim arising out of what happens to you or to anyone else while you are streaming. Sections 15 and 16 of the Terms of Service apply in full, and this section is in addition to them.

Nothing in this section takes away a right that the law says you cannot give up.

6. Recording. You are the one doing it

This is the most important legal section in this agreement, and it is why we open cities one at a time.

You are the person recording. You are physically there, you hold the phone, you are part of the conversation you record, and you decide what to point it at. We receive a stream you have already captured. You are the recorder, and you carry what that means.

You promise us all of this

Film openly

Point the camera wherever you normally would. This is a POV street stream and it looks like one. There is no expectation of privacy in a public place, faces in shot are fine, and you are doing the same thing every IRL streamer does.

The one thing that matters is that you are obvious about it, because the whole legal position rests on nobody being recorded secretly:

And when someone would rather not be in it: stop, do not argue, keep moving. Section 7. That is the mitigation, and it is worth more than any camera angle.

Never identify the person

A person's voice identifies them too, and in some states it is protected by name in the statute. That is a reason to keep the rest of this list tight, not a reason to strip the audio.

7. The rules, and you accept them before every stream

Before every single stream you read four cards and tick three boxes. Not once, not at sign up. Every time. It is a few seconds and it is the point at which you are choosing to accept them again.

There is no character to play. Don't bother people, stop filming if asked, and never film where filming is banned.

The four

1. Don't bother people. Say the line and move on. Never argue, never follow anybody, and never block a path or the road. Never touch anyone or corner anyone, and do not film somebody walking away from you.

2. Stop filming if asked. If somebody does not want to be filmed, point the phone away and keep moving. Keep the phone where people can see it. Never film the disagreement.

3. Never where filming is banned. Not where signs say no filming, and never where people are undressed or being treated. Section 8.

4. Nobody under 18. Never say a line to somebody who looks under 18, and never near a school or a playground. Section 8. "They looked older" is not a defence and this agreement says so in advance.

The three you tick

You are 18 or over. Watching and buying lines is 16. Being a streamer is 18.

You can be paid where you live. The 32 countries are listed in the app behind See the list. This follows the country of your payout account, not where you are standing, so travelling changes nothing.

You accept this agreement. The whole of it opens in the app behind Read it, which is this document and not a summary of it.

What follows from the four, and is part of them

Say the line exactly, and say nothing else. Word for word. Add nothing, improvise nothing, and if you would not say it as written, decline it: declining costs you nothing. Every line has been screened before it reaches you. The moment you improvise, nothing has been screened, and whatever you said is entirely yours. Never claim to be an employee, an official, a police officer, security or a medical professional, and never say something that states a fact about the person in front of you.

If someone objects, stop, do not argue, and keep moving. No asking why, no one more, no talking them round. That one still counts and you are paid for it, on purpose: if a bad reaction cost you the dollar you would be tempted to argue for it.

Never film where recording is prohibited. If the venue says no filming, that is the end of it. This is the one place rule the industry actually publishes: it is Twitch's own wording, near enough, and Kick, TikTok and YouTube publish nothing at all about places.

If staff or an owner asks you to stop or to leave, do it at once. Section 8. That covers every posted sign and every private property question without us listing any of them.

Not at anyone vulnerable. Asleep, drunk, unhoused, distressed, unwell, being treated, or alone at night in an empty place.

The full list of what you may not film or broadcast is in the Content Policy, section 3. It is part of this agreement. The ones that end an account immediately are worth knowing by heart: anything involving a child, filming where people are undressed or being treated, sexual content involving somebody who did not choose it, a credible threat, and violence you took part in or staged.

8. Where you may stand, and who you may speak to

Anyone who looks under 18 is off limits

Do not say the line where the people around you are children, and do not knowingly film them. Not outside a school, not near a playground, not at the hours a school starts or finishes, not anywhere whose audience is children. If a child comes into frame, turn away and flag the segment.

"They looked older" is not a defence and this agreement says so in advance. This is a bright line because it has to be one, and crossing it ends the account the first time.

Places

Anywhere you like, with one exception. Streets, parks, shops, malls, stations, hotels, bars, gyms, a house party. This is deliberately not a list of approved locations: no streaming platform publishes one, and inventing ours would be a rule nobody else in this industry follows.

The delivery rule is what really decides it. A line only counts when it reaches people who did not come with you. Your own living room, your friends and your car are not banned, they simply do not pay: there is nobody there to deliver to. That is a product rule doing the work a property rule was doing badly.

The one exception, and it is not negotiable: never where people are undressed or being treated. Bathrooms, changing rooms, locker rooms, medical and mental health settings, and never through a window into somewhere private. Everywhere else on this page is a policy question. This one is a criminal offence in most states, it is the one line no delivery rule covers, and it ends the account the first time.

A lot of places look public and are not. A mall, a plaza, a station, a shop floor and a transit system are all private property that the public is invited onto, and the invitation can be withdrawn at any moment by anybody who works there.

So the rule that matters is this one: the moment anyone with any apparent authority asks you to stop or to leave, you stop and you leave. Staff, security, a manager, an owner. Immediately, without arguing, without asking why, without one more line, and without filming the exchange. That covers every posted rule and every private property question without us listing them.

Any fine, citation, ban or legal cost that comes out of where you chose to stand is yours. Section 5.

9. Tax

You are responsible for your own taxes. We do not withhold anything.

10. What you make, what we may do with it, and what we may remove

Your stream is yours. You keep what you own.

You give us the licence we need to do all of that, worldwide and without paying you for it, and you promise you have the rights to give it.

We can remove anything, at any time, and you agree to that now

If somebody who appears in your stream asks us to take it down, we take it down. We do not ask them why, we do not ask you first, and we do not weigh it up. It comes down.

We can also remove or delete anything else at any time, for any reason or none. Removal is not us saying you did something wrong, and you give up any claim about it.

This clause is what makes the promise in section 12 of the Terms of Service real. A takedown promise we cannot actually carry out would be worse than no promise at all.

If we ask you about a clip, answer

Breaking any of these ends the account immediately and forfeits earnings that have not been paid out.

11. When this ends

You can stop whenever you want. There is no notice, no term, no commitment. Stop streaming, or delete your account. Cash out first, because we cannot pay a deleted account.

We can suspend you the moment a complaint arrives, before anybody has looked into it, and we can close your account on the terms in section 11 of the Terms of Service. If we do:

These survive the end of it: sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10, and sections 7, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 19 of the Terms of Service.

12. The rest

We may change this agreement. When we do, the version moves and you are asked to accept the new one before your next stream, so you can never be bound by a version you have not seen. The list of open cities and the location rules can change without a new version, because they need to move faster than a contract does.

Everything in the Terms of Service applies, including the arbitration section and the 30 day opt out in section 17, the liability limits in section 15, and the indemnity in section 16.

The indemnity in section 16 names these by name, because they are the claims this job actually attracts: any state or federal wiretap, eavesdropping or recording law; invasion of privacy; right of publicity; defamation; harassment; trespass; disorderly conduct; and any fine or citation.

If a court decides you were an employee rather than a contractor, whatever we are then required to pay is reduced by everything we have already paid you, to the extent the law allows.

If part of this is struck out, the rest stands.
