Cursor replaced its arbitration-based dispute resolution system with a litigation-based one governed by Texas law and filed exclusively in Texas courts. Previously, disputes were resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association; the updated terms require disputes to be brought in state or federal courts in Wichita County or Tarrant County, Texas. Users now have statutory limitation periods (one year for federal claims, two years for state law claims) rather than an arbitration framework, though the terms continue to prohibit class actions and require individual proceedings.
Consumers: You have strict time limits to file disputes or they are barred forever.
Consumers: You can only sue in Texas courts, even if you live elsewhere.
Consumers: You lost the option to resolve disputes privately through arbitration and must use public court litigation.
The updated terms establish a mandatory litigation regime replacing arbitration. Disputes must now be brought exclusively in federal or state courts located in Wichita County or Tarrant County, Texas, and you consent to jurisdiction in those forums and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum. Federal claims must be initiated within one year of the event giving rise to the dispute; state law claims within two years. Claims not initiated within these periods are permanently barred. Class actions and representative proceedings remain prohibited, and relief is limited to individual claims. The terms state that governing law and forum selection apply regardless of whether a dispute is based in contract, tort, statute, or common law, and extend to disputes involving Anysphere's U.S. corporate affiliates.
