What it is

Anthropic can change these terms at any time and will notify users 30 days in advance for material changes; continued use of the service after that period constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

This analysis describes what Anthropic's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The unilateral modification provision means the terms users agreed to at sign-up can change, and continued use of the service is treated as acceptance of any updated terms, which may include changes to data practices, fees, or dispute resolution.

Interpretive note: The document text was truncated and the exact modification clause language was not included in the excerpt; the 30-day notice reference is inferred from standard Anthropic terms and contextual document references.
