Please review this notice, which covers the upcoming changes that are material in nature, and all updated terms below in their entirety to familiarize yourself with these changes. These updated terms will be effective and binding as of May 15, 2026.
No further action is required on your part. Your continued use of our services automatically constitutes your acceptance of these updated terms, which completely replace all previous versions, unless otherwise specified below. Please note that we have not changed your ability to use our services. You may continue to access your account and use our services as you always have.
If you are domiciled or registered in Mexico, your contracting entity has changed.

These Terms of Service are available in Spanish here.

We updated the definition of “Order Form” to include any online orders you or your affiliates place self-service via your Twilio account.
We clarified that we may change our services from time to time, regardless of their overall impact on the functionality of the services.
We added that payment by credit card is not an accepted form of payment once you exceed $8,000 USD in fees (or the local currency equivalent, as applicable) in a single month.
We clarified that any fees for which you are invoiced must be paid via ACH transfer, wire transfer, or other acceptable bank transfer method. A credit card is not an acceptable form of payment.
We updated our anti-corruption and international trade law provision to include anti-money laundering and anti-boycott laws, while extending the requirement to ensure that your affiliates and end users are also not on any government-restricted lists (e.g., U.S. OFAC, Specially Designated Nationals List, U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security). We added that these restrictions apply to entities through either direct designation or corporate ownership. Finally, we noted that Twilio may suspend your account for your violation of these anti-corruption and international trade law-related obligations.
If you are registered or domiciled in Mexico, Mexico governing law applies, and any venue to resolve disputes, either through court or binding arbitration, will occur in Mexico City, Mexico.
Twilio Data Protection Addendum (DPA):
Note: If you have negotiated a separate DPA with us (or the equivalent) that does not permit Twilio to make unilateral changes on notice, the updated DPA will not apply to you.
We refined the existing definitions for “Customer Account Data” and “Communications Usage Data” to include additional data types for better transparency and clarity.

We clarified that this Twilio API Service Level Agreement does not cover “Stytch”-branded services.
