Twilio revised its Terms of Service to add new regional entities for Mexico and Brazil, clarify that Order Forms now include online self-service purchases, restrict credit card payments once monthly fees exceed $8,000 (requiring ACH or wire transfer instead), remove language guaranteeing that service functionality will not materially decrease, and update compliance language to reference anti-boycott laws. The company also added a recommendation that customers download and save a PDF copy of the terms, and clarified that prior versions of Stytch Terms of Service are available for reference.

1 new obligation 1 protection removed

High-volume customers (exceeding $8,000/month in fees): If your monthly bill exceeds $8,000, you must pay via bank transfer; credit cards are no longer accepted.

All users: Twilio no longer guarantees that the core features and functions of its services will remain substantially the same; services may be reduced or changed.

What this means for you

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The updated terms restrict payment methods for high-volume customers: once monthly fees exceed $8,000 (or local currency equivalent), credit card payments are no longer accepted, and all future payments must be made via ACH transfer, wire transfer, or other acceptable bank transfer method. This applies to all fees going forward once the threshold is crossed in any single month. Additionally, Twilio removed its prior commitment that service functionality will not materially decrease; the revised language now states only that services 'may change over time' without specifying limits on how much functionality may be reduced. For customers in Mexico and Brazil, Twilio has established separate regional entities as the contracting party, which may affect dispute resolution and liability frameworks.

What you can do

→ If your monthly fees approach or exceed $8,000, set up ACH or wire transfer payment methods in your Twilio account to ensure uninterrupted service.

→ Review your internal service-level commitments to customers to confirm whether the removal of Twilio's functionality guarantee requires updates to your own documentation or SLAs.

Establishes regional Twilio entities for Mexico and Brazil; expands Order Form definition to include self-service purchases; removes commitment to maintain service functionality.

Previous text
The updated terms now route Twilio service agreements for Mexico and Brazil customers to new regional entities rather than Twilio Inc., which may affect service delivery, dispute resolution venue, and applicable local law. The definition of Order Form was expanded to explicitly include self-service online purchases, clarifying that terms negotiated through Twilio's account interface carry the same contractual weight as traditional executed agreements. The terms also removed language stating that Twilio would not materially decrease overall service functionality, replacing it with a simpler statement that services may change over time, which narrows the operational commitment Twilio makes regarding service stability. You can review the separate agreements that now govern your use based on your regional location.

Twilio updated its Terms of Service on April 10, 2026 to reflect new regional entity assignments and clarifications to service definitions. The revised terms now direct customers in Mexico and Brazil to separate Twilio regional entities (CISA Telecomunicaciones in Mexico and Teravoz Telecom in Brazil) rather than routing them to Twilio Inc., and expanded the definition of Order Form to explicitly include online self-service purchases alongside traditional ordering documents. The terms also removed a prior commitment that Twilio would not materially decrease overall service functionality, replacing it with a simpler statement that services may change over time.
