This provision establishes a unilateral modification mechanism under which BAM can alter contractual terms through website posting, with immediate effect and no requirement for affirmative user acknowledgment outside of continued service use. The July 1, 2026 commitment introduces a prospective 14-day notice requirement for material changes, qualified by the phrase 'to the extent required by applicable law.'
The updated terms introduce automatic enrollment in Soft-Staking for eligible tokens held in user accounts, meaning assets will be staked on Binance.US's behalf with third-party providers unless users opt out before the policy takes effect. Previously, the terms stated staking was optional and required explicit designation. The revised language also establishes that starting July 1, 2026, users will receive at least 14 days' notice before material changes to fee schedules, terms, or account policies take effect. Users can avoid automatic staking by opting out before July 1, 2026, or by withdrawing or designating specific tokens as ineligible for Soft-Staking.

"We may amend or modify these Terms at any time by posting the revised Terms on the Website and/or providing a copy to you ("Revised Terms"). The Revised Terms shall be effective as of the time they are posted, but will not apply retroactively. Your continued use of the Services after the posting of Revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of such Revised Terms. If you do not agree with any such modification, your sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate your use of the Services and close your Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, starting July 1, 2026, we will provide you with at least fourteen (14) days' prior notice of any changes to our fee schedule, these Terms, or any policies applicable to your Account that have a material impact on digital financial asset business activity with you, to the extent required by applicable law.Excerpt from Binance.US's Terms of Use
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Unilateral modification clauses in consumer financial services agreements engage state consumer protection statutes and may interact with the FTC Act's prohibition on unfair or deceptive practices. The 14-day advance notice commitment starting July 1, 2026 appears to reference emerging state digital financial asset business activity statutes, which several states have enacted or proposed. The qualification 'to the extent required by applicable law' conditions the notice obligation on regulatory requirements rather than establishing it as an unconditional contractual commitment. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The immediate-effect modification mechanism creates operational uncertainty for users who may not actively monitor the website for term changes. The 14-day notice provision mitigates this exposure prospectively for material changes but is qualified by the applicable law standard, leaving open the question of which changes will trigger the notice obligation. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California, New York, and several other states have enacted or are developing digital financial asset business activity statutes that may impose specific notice requirements for material term changes. The scope of the 14-day notice obligation will depend on the content of applicable state law in each user's jurisdiction. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Business and institutional users whose operations depend on specific platform terms should monitor BAM's website for term changes, as the agreement does not require affirmative notification outside of the July 1, 2026 material change commitment. API and third-party integration agreements should include provisions addressing the risk of unilateral platform term modifications. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should map the 14-day notice commitment against applicable state digital financial asset business activity statutes to confirm which changes will trigger the notice obligation. The modification mechanism should be evaluated against applicable consumer protection frameworks to assess whether immediate-effect posting satisfies consent standards for material contractual changes.
