X adds arbitration fallback and jury waiver for non-EU users; names SpaceXAI, Cursor, SpaceX as affiliates
For users outside the EU, EFTA and UK, the terms add a binding arbitration fallback (AAA) if the Texas court clause fails, plus a jury trial waiver. Texas courts, Texas law and the class action waiver were already in the old version. Affiliates SpaceXAI, Cursor and SpaceX are now named in the dispute clauses, and users are responsible for autonomous actions taken on their behalf. EU/EFTA/UK users keep Irish courts and law, now with an explicit note that mandatory protections of their home country still apply.
Taken from you
- Users outside the EU/EFTA/UK can be forced into binding arbitration (American Arbitration Association) if the Texas court clause fails, with no injunctive relief and confidential proceedings
- Right to a jury trial waived where law permits (the class action waiver already existed)
- The existing class action waiver against affiliates now explicitly names SpaceXAI, Cursor and SpaceX entities
- Each party bears own arbitration costs, with fee-shifting for frivolous claims
- State law claim deadline changes from two years to two years and one day (slightly longer); the one-year federal deadline is unchanged
- Responsibility for features that perform autonomous actions on your behalf
- SpaceXAI, Cursor and SpaceX entities are now expressly named among the affiliates who benefit from the dispute clauses
Won back
- EU/EFTA/UK users get explicit statement that Irish law choice does not remove mandatory protections of their home country
