Instead of suing Twilio in court, you must resolve disputes through a private arbitration process run by JAMS, and you give up your right to a jury trial.

This clause establishes the procedural mechanism for dispute resolution, removing access to court systems and class action proceedings in favor of individual arbitration. The use of JAMS administration and streamlined rules creates a private dispute resolution process with defined procedural parameters and finality standards.
The updated terms establish a different dispute resolution process for customers domiciled or registered in Mexico. Previously, Mexico was subject to the standard arbitration venue clause routing disputes to San Francisco, California. Under the revised agreement, Mexican customers must first engage in good faith negotiations with Twilio's senior representatives for 30 days; if unresolved, disputes proceed to binding arbitration under Centro de Arbitraje de México (CAM) rules, conducted in English in Mexico City before a sole arbitrator. The agreement also explicitly states that Mexican consumer protection law (Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor) does not apply to the commercial relationship between the parties. Mexico-domiciled customers should review the updated dispute resolution procedures and understand that consumer protection law carve-out before continuing use.
View change record →The updated terms establish two new regional service entities: CISA Telecomunicaciones for Mexico and Teravoz Telecom for Brazil, meaning customers in those jurisdictions will contract with the local entity rather than Twilio Inc. The agreement now permits orders to be placed through Twilio's online self-service purchasing workflow in addition to traditional written order forms, streamlining how purchase terms can be documented. The updated language also removes the prior commitment that Twilio will not materially decrease overall service functionality, replacing it with a general statement that services may change over time without specific protections on functionality levels.
View change record →The updated terms now route Twilio service agreements for Mexico and Brazil customers to new regional entities rather than Twilio Inc., which may affect service delivery, dispute resolution venue, and applicable local law. The definition of Order Form was expanded to explicitly include self-service online purchases, clarifying that terms negotiated through Twilio's account interface carry the same contractual weight as traditional executed agreements. The terms also removed language stating that Twilio would not materially decrease overall service functionality, replacing it with a simpler statement that services may change over time, which narrows the operational commitment Twilio makes regarding service stability. You can review the separate agreements that now govern your use based on your regional location.
View change record →This clause removes your right to sue Twilio in court and requires disputes to be resolved through private JAMS arbitration, which is typically faster but more favorable to repeat corporate parties and limits appellate rights.

"You and Twilio agree to resolve any disputes through binding arbitration administered by JAMS rather than in courts of general jurisdiction. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding. This agreement to arbitrate includes all disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services.— Excerpt from Twilio's Twilio Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Mandatory arbitration clauses in commercial contracts are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.). The FTC has issued guidance on arbitration in consumer contracts under FTC Act Section 5 (15 U.S.C. §45), and the CFPB has historically scrutinized mandatory arbitration in financial service contracts. The enforceability of this clause in B2B contexts is generally strong under FAA precedent. (2)
