ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Duolingo retains unilateral authority to modify the Terms, with the only procedural requirement being a posted notice lasting at least 7 days.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated after 'post a notice...for at least 7 days after the changes are posted' and may contain additional conditions or consequences (e.g., continued use constituting acceptance) not visible here. Confidence is medium because the full notice mechanism and any user-acceptance trigger are not confirmed by the excerpt provided.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users are subject to amended Terms after Duolingo posts notice for at least 7 days, with no requirement for affirmative user consent described in the excerpt.

How other platforms handle this

DeepL Medium

DeepL will submit the modified Terms and Conditions in text form to the Customer at least eight (8) weeks before they are planned to come into force.

Tabnine Medium

Third-Party Terms and Conditions are subject to change without notice and Tabnine bears no responsibility for monitoring or notifying Customer of any changes.

Occasionally, we may update this privacy policy (or other documents in the Adobe Privacy Center) to allow Adobe to accommodate new technologies, industry practices, regulatory requirements or for other purposes.
