This provision establishes the mechanism and conditions under which the contractual relationship between Cursor and users may be altered. It allocates to Cursor the authority to change material terms while placing on users the responsibility to monitor for changes and affirmatively discontinue use if they do not accept modifications.
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.
