· X Privacy Policy
The policy states that X may share user data with third-party collaborators who, absent user opt-out, may use that data for their own independent purposes including training generative and non-generative AI models....
Why it matters: This provision reserves the right for third-party recipients of X user data to use that data for AI model training independent of X's stated purposes, creating a data flow that extends beyond X's own processing operations and that is subject to the recipient's own policies and practices....
-
X
· X Privacy Policy
The policy states that X may collect and use biometric information from users, conditioned on user consent, for stated purposes of safety, security, and identification....
Why it matters: This provision reserves the right to collect biometric data, a category subject to heightened regulatory requirements under laws such as Illinois BIPA, Texas CUBI, and Washington BIPA, requiring compliance teams to assess whether X's consent mechanisms satisfy applicable statutory standards in relevant jurisdictions....
-
X
· X Privacy Policy
The policy states that X may use information collected from users, as well as publicly available information, to train its own machine learning and AI models for purposes described elsewhere in the policy....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes use of user-generated content and behavioral data for AI model training, a processing purpose that may require evaluation under GDPR's lawful basis and purpose limitation requirements for EU users, and that raises data minimization considerations for compliance teams....
-
X
· X Privacy Policy
The policy states that X may associate multiple browsers and devices with a user's account, including devices used while signed out, and may infer additional identity information by associating accounts with hashed email addresses sharing components with the user's provided email address....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes cross-device identity inference and association beyond the device or browser used for sign-in, including for signed-out users, which has implications for the scope of behavioral tracking and targeted advertising across X's ecosystem....
-
X
· X Privacy Policy
The policy states that X may retain identifiers such as email address and phone number indefinitely following account suspension for policy violations, for the purpose of preventing creation of new accounts by suspended users....
Why it matters: This provision establishes an indefinite retention period for specific user identifiers following account suspension, which deviates from time-limited retention practices and may require evaluation under GDPR's data minimization and storage limitation principles for EU users....

X
· X Privacy Policy
The policy states that X participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, Swiss-US DPF, and UK Extension, and that disputes about DPF adherence are resolved first through X's internal process, then through JAMS arbitration, and potentially through the DPF Arbitration Process....
Why it matters: This provision establishes the cross-border data transfer mechanism relied upon by X for personal data transfers from the EU, Switzerland, and the UK to the United States, and specifies a tiered dispute resolution process for DPF-related complaints that includes binding arbitration through JAMS....
-
X
· X Privacy Policy
The policy states that X's services are not directed to users under 13, that X does not knowingly collect personal information from users under 13, and that X will remove such information and terminate the account upon discovery of underage usage....
Why it matters: This provision establishes X's stated COPPA compliance posture for US users and aligns with minimum age requirements under applicable laws in multiple jurisdictions, including the requirement that users meet their country's age of digital consent....
-
X
· X Privacy Policy
The policy states that account deactivation queues data for deletion and removes the public profile from visibility, but that the account and associated data can be restored for up to 30 days following deactivation....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that data deletion is not immediate upon account deactivation, with a 30-day restoration window during which account data is retained; users requesting immediate deletion should be aware of this staging period....
-
X
· X Privacy Policy
The policy states that X uses user information to serve targeted advertising on and off the X platform, recognizes user devices for ad delivery outside of X, collects data directly from ad partner websites and apps via integrated advertising technology, and combines that data with on-platform user data....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes off-platform behavioral tracking and data combination across X's advertising network, including collection from third-party websites and apps that integrate X's advertising technology, creating a data profile that extends beyond X's own platform....
-
X
· X Privacy Policy
The policy states that X may preserve, use, share, or disclose user information in response to legal process, governmental requests, safety concerns, fraud, security issues, or to protect X's or users' rights and property....
Why it matters: This provision establishes the conditions under which X may disclose user data to law enforcement or government entities and for platform security purposes, without user notification, which is a standard but operationally significant disclosure in global privacy policies....
-
X
· X Terms of Service
By posting any content on X, users grant X a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and adapt that content across all current and future media for any purpose, including training generative and other AI models, with no additional compensation beyond platform access. The license also authorizes X to make user content available to other companies and individuals for syndication, reposting, and service improvement....
Why it matters: This provision establishes the contractual basis under which X may use all posted text, images, audio, and video content for AI model training purposes, including generative AI, without additional payment. The sublicensing right permits X to extend these permissions to third-party companies and organizations, which may include AI development partners....
-
X
· X Terms of Service
For users outside the EU/EEA/UK, all disputes with X must be filed exclusively in federal or state courts in Wichita County or Tarrant County, Texas, under Texas law. If that forum selection clause is found unenforceable, the dispute moves to binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association before a retired federal judge, conducted in English in Tarrant County, Texas, with no right to appeal the arbitrator's final award....
Why it matters: This provision establishes Texas-exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all non-EU/EEA/UK user disputes, with binding arbitration as a structural fallback if the forum clause is invalidated. The arbitration clause designates a retired federal district or appellate court judge as arbitrator and prohibits injunctive relief from the arbitrator, while making the arbitrator's award final and non-appealable....
-
X
· X Terms of Service
The agreement requires all users, both individuals and entities, to waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in any class action, collective action, or private attorney general action against X or its named corporate affiliates including SpaceXAI, Cursor, and SpaceX entities. This waiver applies regardless of whether the service was used for personal or commercial purposes....
Why it matters: This provision requires individual users to resolve disputes on an individual basis only and waives participation in class or representative proceedings against X and its named corporate affiliates. The extension of the waiver to SpaceXAI, Cursor, and SpaceX entities as intended beneficiaries is an operationally distinct structural element that expands the scope of the waiver beyond the contracting entity....
-
X
· X Terms of Service
The updated terms require users to file any federal claim within one year and any state law claim within two years and one day of the events giving rise to the dispute, after which claims are permanently barred to the extent permitted by applicable law. This applies in the version effective October 9, 2026; the prior US version specified two years (without the additional day) for state law claims....
Why it matters: This provision establishes contractually shortened limitations periods for both federal and state law claims, which are shorter than many applicable statutory limitations periods. The permanent bar on claims not filed within these windows applies to the extent permitted by applicable law, meaning enforceability depends on jurisdiction-specific rules regarding contractual modification of limitations periods....
-
X
· X Terms of Service
Users who violate the Terms and access more than 1,000,000 posts within any 24-hour period are liable to X for $15,000 USD per 1,000,000 posts accessed as liquidated damages, jointly and severally with any parties they facilitated. EU/EEA/UK users are subject to an equivalent provision denominated in EUR 15,000. X asserts the right to pursue additional statutory damages and equitable relief beyond these liquidated amounts....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a specific financial liability mechanism targeting high-volume automated or unauthorized access to the platform, with damages accruing per million posts accessed in a 24-hour window. The clause applies only when the Terms are otherwise being violated, and X characterizes the amounts as a reasonable damages estimate rather than a penalty, which affects the applicable legal standard for enforceability....
-
X
· X Terms of Service
X reserves the right to suspend or terminate any user's account for enumerated reasons including Terms violations, legal exposure, unlawful conduct, prolonged inactivity, and commercial inviability, or for any other reason or no reason at X's convenience to the extent permitted by law. Notice will be made by reasonable efforts to the email associated with the account or at the next login attempt....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes account suspension or termination not only for specific policy violations but also where continued service provision is deemed commercially unviable, or for any reason at X's convenience, subject to applicable law. This creates broad discretionary termination authority that may affect users who rely on the platform for business operations, content distribution, or API access....
-
X
· X Terms of Service
X excludes all liability for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, and punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or intangible losses, arising from use of or inability to use the Services, third-party conduct or content, or unauthorized access to user transmissions or content. Total aggregate liability is capped at the greater of $100 USD or the amount paid to X in the six months preceding the claim....
Why it matters: This provision establishes the maximum financial exposure X accepts under these Terms, capping aggregate liability at $100 USD for users who do not pay for Services. For free users, this creates a structural ceiling on recoverable damages regardless of the nature or extent of harm arising from platform use....
-
X
· X Terms of Service
The Terms expressly prohibit accessing or searching the Services by any automated means without prior written consent from X, including crawling and scraping in any form for any purpose. The prohibition also covers circumventing technical limitations, probing system vulnerabilities, tampering with non-public areas, and using jailbreaking or prompt engineering or injection to override platform safety or security controls....
Why it matters: This provision establishes the operational boundaries for automated and technical access to X's Services and explicitly addresses AI-era access methods including prompt engineering and injection alongside traditional scraping and crawling prohibitions. Violations of these terms also trigger the liquidated damages clause for bulk post access....
-
X
· X Terms of Service
The governing law, forum selection, arbitration, and class action waiver provisions of X's Terms apply not only to X Corp. but also explicitly to SpaceXAI, Cursor, and SpaceX US entities as intended third-party beneficiaries. These entities consent to Texas jurisdiction and arbitration and benefit from users' class action waivers under these Terms....
Why it matters: This provision structurally extends X's dispute resolution framework, including mandatory Texas courts or arbitration and class action waiver, to named non-X corporate affiliates in the SpaceX and Cursor ecosystem. Users who accept X's Terms are thereby also agreeing to these dispute resolution terms with respect to those affiliated entities....
-
X
· X Terms of Service
By using X's Services, users consent to the collection and use of their information as described in the Privacy Policy, including international transfers to the United States, Ireland, and other countries for storage, processing, and use by X and its affiliates. The Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into the Terms....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that platform use constitutes consent to international data transfers to the US, Ireland, and other countries. For EU/EEA users, international transfers to the United States engage GDPR's cross-border data transfer requirements, including Standard Contractual Clauses or other transfer mechanisms, the adequacy of which is governed by the Privacy Policy and applicable law rather than by this Terms clause alone....

Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
The agreement requires that substantially all disputes between users and Amazon be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS, with limited exceptions for small claims court, intellectual property injunctions, and pre-arbitration procedure compliance. The class action waiver precludes any collective or representative arbitration proceeding....
Why it matters: This provision requires that users and Amazon resolve most disputes through JAMS-administered individual arbitration, with the arbitrator holding exclusive authority to determine arbitrability. The delegation clause and class action waiver have been subjects of judicial scrutiny in consumer contract contexts, and enforceability may vary by jurisdiction....

Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
Users who post reviews, comments, photos, videos, or other content to Amazon Services grant Amazon a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display that content worldwide in any media. The license includes the right for Amazon and sublicensees to use the submitting user's name in connection with the content....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a perpetual and irrevocable license to user-submitted content with no expiration tied to account closure or content deletion, and the sublicensable scope permits Amazon to authorize third parties to use submitted content. The interaction of this license with GDPR rights to erasure and similar data subject rights under CCPA warrants evaluation for users in applicable jurisdictions....
-
Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
The agreement prohibits users from using any AI-generated content produced by Amazon Services to develop or improve large language models, multimodal models, machine learning models, or related technology, either directly or through a third party....
Why it matters: This provision is a contractual restriction on downstream use of AI-generated outputs that applies to all users of Amazon Services. The prohibition covers both direct and indirect use and extends to third parties acting on behalf of the user, creating compliance obligations for organizations that use Amazon AI outputs in product development or research workflows....
-
Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
Any autonomous or semi-autonomous software or service acting on behalf of a user must identify itself in HTTP/HTTPS request user agent strings, must not mimic human behavior or circumvent bot detection measures, and must respond truthfully when queried about whether interactions originate from a human or computer. Amazon reserves the right to limit agent access by technical means....
Why it matters: This provision establishes specific technical compliance obligations for any party deploying automated agents to interact with Amazon Services, including disclosure of agent identity in request headers and prohibition on bypassing CAPTCHA or anti-bot mechanisms. Failure to comply constitutes a breach of the Conditions of Use and may result in technical blocking or account termination....
-
Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
Amazon disclaims all express and implied warranties for its services and products to the full extent permitted by law, and limits its liability for all damages, including direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, and consequential damages, arising from use of any Amazon Service....
Why it matters: This provision disclaims implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and excludes liability for a broad range of damages arising from Amazon Service use. The qualification 'to the full extent permissible by law' acknowledges that applicable law in certain jurisdictions may limit how these disclaimers operate in practice....
-
Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
The agreement specifies that U.S. federal law and Washington state law govern the Conditions of Use and all disputes, without application of conflict of laws principles, with an exception for personal injury or property damage claims which are governed by the law of the state where the injury or damage occurred....
Why it matters: This choice of law clause requires that disputes be evaluated under Washington law regardless of the user's location, with a carve-out for personal injury and property damage claims. The exclusion of conflict of laws principles may affect the availability of consumer protections under the user's home state law, though applicable law may limit the enforceability of this clause in some jurisdictions....
-
Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
Users bear responsibility for all account activity and are required to maintain account confidentiality. The agreement authorizes Amazon to charge any alternative valid payment method associated with the account if the primary selected payment method fails....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes Amazon to charge alternative payment methods on file without requiring additional user confirmation when the primary method fails, and places full responsibility for all account activity on the account holder regardless of whether unauthorized access occurred....
-
Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
For physical item purchases from Amazon, title and risk of loss transfer to the buyer at the point of delivery to the shipping carrier, not upon delivery to the buyer's address....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that once Amazon delivers a physical item to the carrier, the contractual risk of loss passes to the buyer, meaning lost or damaged packages that do not arrive after carrier pickup are contractually the buyer's responsibility, though carrier liability, insurance, and Amazon's voluntary customer service practices may provide remedies in practice....
-
Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
Amazon reserves the right to modify the Conditions of Use, site policies, and Service Terms at any time, and continued use of Amazon Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that Amazon may update its terms unilaterally at any time, with continued use of Amazon Services constituting acceptance, without specifying a minimum notice period or requiring affirmative consent to material changes....
-
Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
When 25 or more coordinated arbitration demands are filed within six months on similar issues, the agreement designates this a Mass Arbitration subject to JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures, with demands grouped into batches of at least 25 per arbitrator. Both parties must disclose third-party litigation funding relationships and any assigned financial interests in connection with the Mass Arbitration....
Why it matters: This provision establishes procedural rules that apply when coordinated consumer claims reach defined thresholds, including batching of claims and mandatory disclosure of litigation funding arrangements. The litigation funding disclosure obligation is operationally significant for plaintiffs' counsel and third-party funders in coordinated consumer litigation against Amazon....
