This provision places contractual responsibility on users to ensure they do not input regulated data types such as medical records or financial account information into Cursor, which is significant for enterprise users and developers working with sensitive data.
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.
