Breach of this representation could trigger the indemnification obligations in Section 6 and constitutes a material basis for service suspension under Section 2.3.
The updated terms establish a binding arbitration requirement for users domiciled or registered in Mexico, replacing prior dispute resolution procedures. Under the revised Section 10.5, Mexico-domiciled users must first engage in good faith negotiations with Segment for up to 30 days, and if unresolved, disputes proceed to binding arbitration administered by the Centro de Arbitraje de México (CAM) in Mexico City before a sole arbitrator, with both parties splitting arbitration costs. Additionally, the agreement now explicitly carves out Mexico's Federal Consumer Protection Law (Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor), stating it does not apply to this commercial agreement. Mexico users also face a new obligation to comply with anti-money laundering and anti-corruption requirements under applicable Mexican law.

Japanese customers may be required to submit government-issued ID documents and complete verification processes as required under applicable Japanese law, including the Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds and the Telecommunications Business Act.

"You grant Twilio and its Affiliates the right to process Customer Data as necessary to provide the Services in a manner that is consistent with this Agreement and the Twilio Data Protection Addendum. You are responsible for the quality and integrity of Customer Data. You represent and warrant that you have provided, and will continue to provide, adequate notices, and that you have obtained, and will continue to obtain, the necessary permissions and consents required to enable Twilio to process all Customer Data to provide the Services or as permitted by this Agreement and the Twilio Data Protection Addendum.Excerpt from Segment's Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages GDPR Articles 6 and 7 (legal basis for processing and conditions for consent), CCPA consent and notice requirements for California residents, and TCPA consent requirements for telecommunications-related communications. The customer's representation that consent has been obtained shifts the compliance risk of consent adequacy entirely to the customer. Enforcement authorities include data protection authorities in EU member states, the UK ICO, and the California Privacy Protection Agency. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. For customers processing personal data of EU or UK data subjects, or California consumers, through Twilio services, this representation creates ongoing legal exposure if consent mechanisms are found to be deficient under applicable law. The warranty is ongoing, meaning it applies to all Customer Data processed throughout the agreement term, not only at inception. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK customers face heightened exposure under GDPR and UK GDPR, which impose specific requirements for valid consent, including the right to withdraw consent at any time. California customers face CCPA-specific notice and opt-out requirements. Customers in the telecommunications sector must also evaluate TCPA prior express written consent requirements for any automated communications sent through the Twilio platform. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Legal teams should conduct a consent mechanism audit covering all categories of Customer Data processed through Twilio services and all End User touchpoints at which notice is provided. The ongoing nature of the warranty means that changes to product features, data flows, or user populations require reassessment of consent adequacy. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should implement a regular review cycle for consent mechanisms and privacy notices applicable to data processed through Twilio services. The Twilio Data Protection Addendum should be reviewed in conjunction with this provision to ensure that the categories of processing Twilio conducts are covered by the consent and notice framework the customer has implemented.
