A provider's terms of service, also known as "terms of use," are conditions users must agree to in order to use the service. These conditions govern what users can and can't do when using the service. The terms may also explain what the service provider can do with users' data.
For example, streaming platform Twitch has a TOS that restricts what content streamers can share on their channels. One rule in Twitch's TOS prevents streamers from playing copyright-protected music on their channels, to ensure Twitch cannot be sued by musicians and record companies.
Every large online service provider, including Google, Twitter, Facebook, and Amazon, has its own TOS (or ToS). Many websites require you to agree to the terms of service, often by checking a box next to the TOS link, when creating an account.
