The updated terms restrict payment methods for high-volume customers: once monthly fees exceed $8,000 (or local currency equivalent), credit card payments are no longer accepted, and all future payments must be made via ACH transfer, wire transfer, or other acceptable bank transfer method. This applies to all fees going forward once the threshold is crossed in any single month. Additionally, Twilio removed its prior commitment that service functionality will not materially decrease; the revised language now states only that services 'may change over time' without specifying limits on how much functionality may be reduced. For customers in Mexico and Brazil, Twilio has established separate regional entities as the contracting party, which may affect dispute resolution and liability frameworks.
