Change Summary
Twilio updated its Terms of Service on May 9, 2026, making substantial changes to dispute resolution procedures for Mexico-based customers and removing arbitration provisions for Mexico from its general arbitration venue section. The agreement previously established arbitration venues for Japan; these provisions now apply to Mexico instead. For Mexico-domiciled customers, the updated terms replace mandatory arbitration in San Francisco with a 30-day good faith negotiation period followed by binding arbitration under Centro de Arbitraje de México rules in Mexico City, and explicitly exclude Mexican consumer protection law from applying to the commercial relationship.
