What it is

Twilio can change its terms at any time by simply posting an update online, and continuing to use the service counts as your agreement to the new terms.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Unilateral modification clauses are reviewed under general contract law. In the EU, such clauses may be subject to challenge under Directive 93/13/EEC (unfair contract terms) if they create a significant imbalance between the parties. GDPR Art. 13/14 requires notification of material changes to data processing activities, which may be implicated by ToS modifications affecting data handling.
