X · Terms of Service

What You're Agreeing To

This is X's (formerly Twitter's) Terms of Service, effective April 10, 2026 for users in the US and most of the world, and January 15, 2026 for users in the EU/UK. By using X, you agree to let X and its advertising partners show you ads in exchange for access to the platform. You must be at least 13 years old. X Corp. (based in Bastrop, Texas) is your legal counterparty if you live outside the EU/UK; X Internet Unlimited Company (based in Dublin, Ireland) is your counterparty if you're in the EU, EFTA states, or the UK.

Your Content and X's License to Use It

You keep ownership of anything you post, but you give X an extremely broad, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, copy, modify, distribute, and sublicense your content — including for training AI and machine learning models — with no payment to you. X can also share your content with third-party partners for syndication and promotion. The Terms say using the platform is itself sufficient compensation for this license. US users get a slightly broader version of this grant than EU/UK users, though both are expansive.

Enforcement and Account Termination

X can suspend or delete your account for violating its rules, for creating legal risk for the company, for prolonged inactivity, or simply because continuing to serve you is "no longer commercially viable." For US users, X can also terminate your account "for any other reason or no reason" at its convenience. Your liability is capped at $100 or what you paid X in the past six months — whichever is higher. However, if you scrape or mass-access posts (over 1 million in 24 hours) in violation of the Terms, you owe $15,000 per million posts as liquidated damages.

Disputes and Your Rights

If you're outside the EU/UK, all disputes must be filed in Texas courts (Wichita or Tarrant County), under Texas law, and you waive the right to join class-action lawsuits. You also have a shortened window to sue: 1 year for federal claims, 2 years for state claims. EU/UK users go to Irish courts under Irish law, also with a 1-year window and a class-action waiver. You can deactivate your account at any time to end the agreement, but many Terms provisions survive termination.
