X adds arbitration fallback, bans injunctions in arbitration, and extends waivers to SpaceX-related affiliates
For users outside the EU, EFTA and UK, the Texas courts clause now has an arbitration fallback (American Arbitration Association, confidential, individual-only, no injunctive relief). The class action and jury trial waiver is now an explicit, stronger clause, and it extends to named affiliates (SpaceXAI, Cursor, SpaceX). Users are also responsible for features that perform autonomous actions on their behalf, and the state-law limitation period becomes two years and one day.
Taken from you
- Right to have disputes heard in court if the Texas forum clause is found unenforceable: binding, confidential arbitration applies instead
- Ability to seek injunctive relief in arbitration (arbitrator is prohibited from granting it)
- Right to appeal an arbitration award, to the extent the law permits
- Right to a jury trial and to bring private attorney general actions is now waived. The class action waiver already existed and now names SpaceXAI, Cursor and SpaceX entities.
- Responsibility now covers autonomous actions performed on your behalf by Service features
- SpaceXAI, Cursor and SpaceX entities are now expressly named among the affiliates who benefit from the dispute terms, which now also cover the arbitration provision.
Won back
- State-law claims limitation period slightly longer, from two years to two years and one day
- EU/EFTA/UK users get explicit statement that Irish law choice doesn't remove mandatory consumer protections of their home country
- Scraping restriction now carved out where applicable law requires otherwise
