Summary

This document establishes X's Terms of Service, governing user conduct including posting, browsing, and use of third-party integrations on the platform. The terms grant X a royalty-free, worldwide license to use, distribute, modify, and sublicense user-posted content, and establish X's liability cap at $100 or amounts paid by the user in the preceding six months. The agreement authorizes X to suspend or terminate accounts for policy violations, prolonged inactivity, legal risk, or commercial inviability, with account suspension procedures and content licensing terms updated for users outside the EU, EFTA, and UK.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document constitutes X Corp.'s Terms of Service governing all users' access to and use of the X platform and associated services, operating as a legally binding contract between users and X Corp. (registered at 865 FM 1209, Building 2, Bastrop, TX 78602). The terms assert that users grant X a broad, royalty-free license to distribute, reproduce, modify, and sublicense their posted content worldwide; that X reserves the right to remove content, limit visibility, suspend or terminate accounts for violations, prolonged inactivity, risk of legal exposure, or commercial inviability; and that aggregate liability is capped at the greater of $100 USD or amounts paid in the prior six months. The terms establish a dual-track structure: updated terms apply to users outside the EU, EFTA States, and UK (including US users), while existing terms remain unchanged for EU, EFTA, and UK users, with the latter group subject to Digital Services Act and Online Safety Act 2023 redress mechanisms not available to US users. The document engages GDPR, CCPA, COPPA (minimum age 13), the EU Digital Services Act, and the UK Online Safety Act 2023; the consent-by-use model for data transfers to the US, Ireland, and other countries warrants evaluation under applicable cross-border data transfer requirements, particularly for EU and UK users where standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions may govern.
