Twilio updated its Terms of Service on April 19, 2026 to expand the geographic scope of service entities, add new Mexico and Brazil-specific entities to the agreement, and clarify how orders can be placed through online self-service workflows in addition to traditional ordering documents. The agreement also removed a prior assurance that Twilio would not materially decrease overall service functionality, replacing it with a simpler statement that services may change over time. Additionally, Twilio added a recommendation that customers download and save a PDF copy of the terms.

1 new obligation 1 protection removed

Businesses: If you operate in Mexico or Brazil, you are now contracting with a local Twilio company instead of the Delaware corporation, which may affect where disputes are resolved and which country's laws apply.

Businesses: Twilio no longer commits contractually to maintain service functionality levels; the agreement now states services may change over time without specific protections on what changes are permissible.

What this means for you

The updated terms establish two new regional service entities: CISA Telecomunicaciones for Mexico and Teravoz Telecom for Brazil, meaning customers in those jurisdictions will contract with the local entity rather than Twilio Inc. The agreement now permits orders to be placed through Twilio's online self-service purchasing workflow in addition to traditional written order forms, streamlining how purchase terms can be documented. The updated language also removes the prior commitment that Twilio will not materially decrease overall service functionality, replacing it with a general statement that services may change over time without specific protections on functionality levels.

What you can do

If you operate in Mexico or Brazil, verify which Twilio entity is named in your current agreement and confirm whether regional data residency, consumer protection, or telecommunications regulations apply.
