SAN FRANCISCO, United States (NPA) — X Corporation has announced updates to its Terms of Service, with the new provisions scheduled to take effect on October 9, 2026.

The company, in a statement issued on September 9, 2026, said the changes were intended to clarify several provisions governing users’ relationship with the platform, including dispute resolution, class action and jury trial waivers, and responsibilities for user content.

Under the updated provisions on governing law and disputes, X said that for users outside the European Union, EFTA States and the United Kingdom, disputes will be handled in courts in Texas under Texas law.

The company said it had also added a provision stating that where the court venue specified in the Terms cannot be used, the dispute will be resolved through arbitration.

X said it had further provided specific examples of its corporate affiliates to which the relevant provisions apply.

On class actions and jury trials, the company said the updated Terms state that, where permitted by law, users and X waive the right to a jury trial.

As in its previous Terms, X said users and the company also waive the right to bring or participate in a class, collective or other representative action against each other. The provision applies to all users and, to the extent permitted by law, also extends to X’s corporate affiliates.

The company has also updated its provisions on user content responsibilities, saying the changes are intended to better reflect that users are responsible for their use of the Services, including features that perform autonomous actions on their behalf.

For users of X services in the European Union, EFTA States and the United Kingdom, the company said additional clarification had been made regarding the application of Irish law.

According to X, the choice of Irish law does not remove protections that cannot legally be waived under the laws of the country where a user resides.

The company encouraged users to read the updated Terms in full, noting that the provisions govern their use of X and its services.

X said users who continue to use its products or services on or after October 9, 2026, will be deemed to have agreed to the updated Terms of Service.
