X Terms of Service

X's Terms of Service govern all use of the X platform and its associated services, applying different legal entities and dispute resolution frameworks depending on whether users reside in the EU, EFTA States, or UK versus elsewhere. The agreement grants X a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, adapt, and distribute all content users post, explicitly including use for training generative AI and other machine learning models, with no compensation owed to users beyond access to the platform. For users outside the EU, EFTA, and UK, disputes must be brought exclusively in Texas courts or, if that forum selection is unenforceable, through binding individual arbitration before a retired federal judge in Tarrant County, Texas, with a one-year limitations period for federal claims and a $15,000 USD per 1,000,000 posts liquidated damages exposure for Terms violations.

This document is X's Terms of Service effective October 9, 2026, governing the relationship between users and X Corp. (for non-EU/EFTA/UK users) or X Internet Unlimited Company (for EU/EFTA/UK users), constituting a legally binding User Agreement that incorporates the Privacy Policy, Rules and Policies, and all referenced incorporated policies. The agreement asserts a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license over all user-submitted Content for any purpose, including 'use with and training of our machine learning and artificial intelligence models, whether generative or another type,' with no compensation obligation; the terms authorize account suspension or termination for reasons including 'prolonged inactivity,' 'risk of legal exposure,' or circumstances where provision of the Services is 'no longer commercially viable.' For non-EU/EFTA/UK users, the agreement establishes Texas courts (Wichita County or Tarrant County) as exclusive forum with Texas law governing, contains a fallback binding arbitration clause administered by the AAA before a retired federal judge, a class action and jury trial waiver, a one-year limitations period for federal claims and two-year-plus-one-day period for state claims, and a liquidated damages provision of $15,000 USD per 1,000,000 posts accessed in any 24-hour period in violation of the Terms; the document asserts these provisions extend to disputes involving named corporate affiliates including SpaceXAI, Cursor, and SpaceX entities. The AI training license, liquidated damages clause, shortened limitations periods, and broad termination authority warrant evaluation under the FTC Act, GDPR (for EU/EFTA/UK users), CCPA (for California residents), the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065), the UK Online Safety Act 2023, and COPPA for users under 13; the enforceability of the class action waiver and shortened limitations periods may vary by jurisdiction, and EU and UK users retain specific statutory challenge rights under the DSA and Online Safety Act respectively.

The agreement establishes a broad, royalty-free, sublicensable license over all user-posted content for any purpose, including AI model training, with no financial compensation to users beyond platform access. Under these terms, accounts may be suspended or terminated for reasons including prolonged inactivity, risk of legal exposure to X, or commercial inviability, with enforcement authority reserved at X's discretion. You can deactivate your account at any time via the instructions at https://help.x.com/managing-your-account/how-to-deactivate-x-account, and EU and UK users can challenge certain enforcement decisions through X's internal complaints process or applicable statutory mechanisms under the DSA and Online Safety Act 2023.
