Cursor TOS Changed

What changed

The dispute resolution section was overhauled, replacing binding arbitration with litigation in Texas courts, and a new limitations period section and Grok Bot reference were added.

Details

• •The introductory section now references an Acceptable Use Policy and explicitly calls out the Limitation of Liability and Dispute Resolution sections as affecting user rights. It also adds a reference to Grok Bot Terms for users who enable that feature.
• •The entire mandatory arbitration agreement (old Section 16.1 through 16.8) has been replaced with a governing law and forum selection clause that designates Texas state law and requires all disputes to be resolved exclusively in courts located in Wichita County or Tarrant County, Texas.
• •The old pre-arbitration notice procedure (60-day window, certified mail, AAA arbitration) has been replaced with an informal 45-day dispute resolution process before either party may proceed to litigation.
• •The class action prohibition language was updated to reflect the shift away from arbitration, removing references to an arbitrator consolidating claims and instead framing the restriction as an agreement between the parties not to seek consolidated or class proceedings in court.
• •A new Section 15.3 was added establishing limitations periods: users must bring federal claims within one year and state law claims within two years of the triggering event, or those claims are permanently waived.
• •The old Section 17.2 on Governing Law (which specified California law and San Francisco courts) was removed, with that function now absorbed into the revised Section 16.1 specifying Texas law and Texas courts.
