Twitch partners (I.E. most of the people who make a living on the platform) absolutely have a contract with Twitch. Twitch affiliates don't as far as I know, but those are (mostly) the people in the awkward stage between hobby and profession, and most of them are trying to achieve "partner" status.

And I assume that contract has a clause in it that says Twitch can revoke their streaming status for any reason, otherwise they would have been sued to death by now.
