In early March of 2024, Roku Inc. changed their EULA, which was after the company disclosed a data breach that affected over 15,000 accounts.


This new EULA was enforced onto preexisting users in the form of a message on their Smart TV/streaming player, which only allowed the user to accept the new terms, and not decline. The only option Roku Inc. offered to opt-out of the new EULA was for the user to mail the company their contact information, email used to register the Roku account (if applicable), and the product model, software, or service "at issue".


In this new EULA, Roku Inc. included a [https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/index.php/Forced_Arbitration Forced Arbitration] agreement to not allow users to sue, or to take part in lawsuits against Roku Inc.


Roku Inc. clarified a week later that the new EULA was not in relation to the aforementioned data breach.
