ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes the mechanism and conditions under which the contractual relationship between Cursor and users may be altered. It allocates to Cursor the authority to change material terms while placing on users the responsibility to monitor for changes and affirmatively discontinue use if they do not accept modifications.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users operate under terms that may be modified by Cursor without advance negotiation, with effectiveness occurring upon posting rather than at a future date. Continued use of the Service following modification constitutes acceptance of the new terms, meaning users must actively discontinue use to reject changes rather than affirmatively opt-in to modifications.

We may, from time to time, change these Terms. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. If we make any material modifications, we will notify you by updating the date at the top of these Terms and by maintaining a current version of these Terms on this page. All modifications will be effective when they are posted, and your continued accessing or use of the Service will serve as confirmation of your acceptance of those modifications. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, then you must discontinue your use of the Service.
