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.
