Change Summary
Walmart updated its Terms of Use on May 7, 2026, with clarifications to its arbitration and dispute resolution provisions. The changes add language specifying that arbitration awards have no effect on disputes between Walmart and other parties, expand the grounds for fee-shifting to include violations of a specific section, and modify surviving sections in the termination clause. Several provisions were reformatted in capital letters for emphasis, including the governing law and exclusive jurisdiction clauses.
