The updated terms establish that using any Best Buy Property constitutes acceptance of the terms. Best Buy reserves the right to modify the terms at any time and without advance notice to users. The terms state that it is the user's responsibility to review the terms for updates or changes. This means continued use of Best Buy Properties after any unilateral amendment will constitute acceptance of the modified terms. You can review the full updated terms at any time by visiting a Best Buy Property, but Best Buy is not obligated to notify you of changes.
